US President Donald Trump threatens to sue WSJ over Epstein report
Washington, DC: On Friday, US President Donald Trump vowed to sue Rupert Murdoch, NewsCorp, and The Wall Street Journal over the article they published on Jeffrey Epstein’s archives.
The Wall Street Journal said that Trump allegedly wrote Epstein a sexually provocative letter, which sparked Trump’s response.
“President Donald J. Trump personally informed Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal that the alleged letter they printed from Trump to Epstein was a FAKE and that they would be sued if they ran it. Mr. Murdoch promised to handle it, but it is clear that he lacked the authority to do so. President Trump and Karoline Leavitt notified Emma Tucker, the editor of The Wall Street Journal, directly that the letter was a fake, but Emma Tucker didn’t want to hear it. Rather, they are pursuing a nasty, misleading, and defamatory narrative regardless.

Soon, President Trump will file lawsuits against Mr. Murdoch, NewsCorp, and The Wall Street Journal. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said, “The press needs to learn to be honest and not rely on sources that most likely don’t even exist.”
“President Trump is eager to sue and hold the once-great Wall Street Journal responsible after defeating George Stephanopoulos/ABC, 60 Minutes/CBS, and others. It has really turned out to be a “Disgusting and Filthy Rag,” and their desperate attempt to stay relevant is evident in the slanderous falsehoods they write. Comey, Brennan, Crooked Hillary, and other radical left lunatics would have exposed the Epstein Hoax years ago if there was any truth to it with President Trump. It would not have been in a file waiting for “TRUMP” to win three elections, to be sure. This is just another instance of false information. Trump said.
According to CNN, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday (local time) that a set of letters sent to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003 had a sketch of a nude lady and a message with Donald Trump’s name on it.
According to CNN, Trump denied writing the letter or drawing the image in a conversation with the Journal on Tuesday. He also threatened to sue the publication if it published the report.
“Throughout my life, I have never written a picture. According to the Journal, he said, “I don’t draw pictures of women.” ” I don’t speak that language. It’s not what I said.
A banker who hung around with a variety of politicians and other influential people, Epstein was accused of sex trafficking children in Florida and New York in 2019. Later, his body was discovered in his prison cell. According to CNN, medical examiners determined that the death was a suicide, but the circumstances have since revealed a number of issues that are fueling conspiracy theories.
