Will he try to get it in front of Cannon so she can delay it for years?
This will be amazing if it makes it to court but I expect it won't and Trump will try to settle it outside of court, a little money exchange where WSJ doesn't actually have to say they were wrong but Trump can publicly claim he "won" and use that as "proof" that they made the whole thing up, there's zero chance Trump will want this to actually go to court and have discovery done on him.
