Trump Sues Wall Street Journal, Demands $10 Billion Over Epstein Allegations

Donald Trump is suing The Wall Street Journal, News Corp., and several individuals over a contentious report concerning his alleged interactions with Jeffrey Epstein. The lawsuit, which seeks $10 billion in damages, centers on claims that Trump sent Epstein a birthday message in 2003 that included a provocative drawing and allusions to confidential information. The legal action targets News Corp., its publisher Dow Jones, and key journalists involved in the report. Trump’s legal team claims the report is fabricated and deliberately intended to defame him. The filing outlines efforts to halt the article’s publication and highlights the denial of the claims. The Justice Department has responded by moving to release grand jury records related to the Epstein case, prompted by Trump’s demand and public interest in the matter.
