Trump sues WSJ, Rupert Murdoch and two reporters for Epstein letter story www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/07/18/trump-sues-wsj-rupert-murdoch-slander/85282651007/ Donald Trump is seeking $10 billion in damages in a lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal, its parent company, owner and two reporters claiming libel and slander for publishing an article saying the future president wrote a lewd letter to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday.
Trump filed the lawsuit in Miami federal court on July 18 and named as the plaintiffs Dow Jones & Company, News Corporation, owner Rupert Murdoch and reporters Khadeeja Safdar and Joseph Palazzolo. At issue is a story published July 17 describing a letter from Trump that the Journal wrote was part of a leather-bound birthday book with dozens of other letters that was presented to Epstein in 2003. Trump's letter ends with “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret,” according to the Journal. I think this is funny, because: 1. WSJ & Rupert Murdoch knew Trump would probably sue, so they definitely took care to get the story right. 2. The WSJ article clearly states Trump's objections, but also clearly states the evidence. 3. If Trump really is sick of people bringing up Epstein, it's not like suing will make the story go away 4. Trump posted something about making Murdoch testify, but worse for Trump is getting him recorded for deposition. 5. Murdoch controls Fox News, so we'll see how it goes after so many prime-time stories about Epstein with Trump 6. Even if Trump was right (he's not), does anybody see $10 billion in damages to Trump? I don't. I'm betting this never goes to trial, and that Trump's withdraws, instead of Murdoch settling. |

Wooh. This didn't take long...
White House retaliates against Wall Street Journal over Trump-Epstein story www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/white-house-retaliates-against-wall-street-journal-over-trump-epstein-story/ar-AA1J1wCS?ocid=BingHp01&cvid=4b9228aab34f41d0e56a22915234fef5&ei=20 The White House on Monday excluded The Wall Street Journal from a pool of reporters covering President Donald Trump's upcoming visit to Scotland, after the newspaper reported that he wrote a bawdy birthday message to his former friend, alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
So much for transparency, huh? The Trump Administration really is a clown show. |

Yes, the transparency is the WH reported they would be left out. Biden’s team would have left out Fox News and say nothing about it. You need to learn the difference between transparency and cover-up. Which is what the dems are great at.. until now , Trump will enjoy another win in that civil suit. Than he can sit back and watch Obama team be supeanead and get their days in court..

Obama-appointed Florida judge, Darrin P Gayles, will preside over Trump's $10B suit against Murdoch and WSJ, and the malignant child will lose again.

Hah. That would be hilarious if Trump wins, because the WSJ has become a MAGA tabloid, but it'll also mean that Trump with his incompetent lawyers will sit through hours of recorded depositions under oath, and Trump's mind is so gone, he can't even tell what's real, anymore. Can you imagine the legion of sanctions against him for perjury? I can! |

This is really funny. The WSJ and Murdoch certainly knew Trump was going to sue, so you can bet they made sure everything was legally sound before publishing. The article clearly presents Trump’s objections, but still backs it up with evidence.
If he really wants people to stop bringing up Epstein, suing is the worst thing to do it keeps the story alive. Also, it’s ironic that he’s talking about getting Murdoch to testify, because the depositions could be very bad for him. Also, Murdoch owns Fox News, so it’ll be interesting to see if they support him or side with the WSJ after years of prime time Epstein mentions. And $10 billion in damages? That’s just ridiculous. I doubt this will ever go to trial he’ll probably drop it once it stops being a headline. |
