Trump threatens to sue Rupert Murdoch, News Corp, and The Wall Street Journal over a false report linking him to Epstein.
-
In a significant escalation of tensions between former U.S. President Donald Trump and one of the most influential media empires in the world, Trump has threatened to sue media mogul Rupert Murdoch, his corporation News Corp, and the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) following a controversial report linking Trump to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The dispute centers on a WSJ story published recently, which detailed an alleged leather-bound album compiled by investigators ahead of Epstein's first arrest in 2006. Among the materials was reportedly a birthday letter from Epstein's 50th birthday in 2003, said to be signed by several of Epstein's friends, including Donald Trump. The letter was no ordinary birthday card—it allegedly featured a typewritten text of an imaginary, suggestive conversation between Trump and Epstein, inserted inside a crude drawing of a naked woman, with Trump's signature positioned in a provocative manner on the figure's pubic area.
Fake News and Legal Threats Donald Trump has publicly denounced the Wall Street Journal's reporting as "fake news" and accused the Murdoch-owned outlets of running a false and defamatory story. Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, where he wrote a direct warning that he had personally alerted Rupert Murdoch and the WSJ not to publish the story.
"The Wall Street Journal, and Rupert Murdoch, personally, were warned directly by President Donald J. Trump that the supposed letter they printed by President Trump to Epstein was a FAKE and, if they print it, they will be sued," Trump said.
Trump claimed that he had warned Murdoch himself, and that Murdoch had promised to "take care of it" but failed to prevent publication.
