BREAKING NEWS: President Donald Trump has just announced a significant legal action against the Wall Street Journal following the publication of an explosive article detailing a “bawdy” letter he sent to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. In a statement shared on Truth Social, Trump described the lawsuit as a “POWERHOUSE” initiative aimed at combating what he calls “false, malicious, defamatory, FAKE NEWS.”
The lawsuit was formally filed today, October 24, 2023, and targets not only the authors of the article but also the WSJ‘s corporate owners, including media mogul Rupert Murdoch and Robert Thomson, whom Trump specifically named. The former president asserted, “This historic legal action is being brought against the now fully disgraced WSJ, as well as its corporate owners and affiliates.”
Trump emphasized that this lawsuit is not just for his benefit but is designed to stand up for all Americans who are tired of what he describes as the abusive actions of the “Fake News Media.” He declared, “I hope Rupert and his ‘friends’ are looking forward to the many hours of depositions and testimonies they will have to provide in this case.”
The Wall Street Journal‘s article reportedly includes details about a previously undisclosed letter from Trump to Epstein, raising questions about their relationship. This revelation has sent shockwaves through political circles and media platforms alike as Trump’s legal team seeks to hold the publication accountable for what they deem as harmful misrepresentations.
This urgent legal maneuver contributes to Trump’s ongoing battle against media narratives that he claims mischaracterize his actions and statements. The implications of this lawsuit could be far-reaching, not only for Trump but also for how media organizations report on public figures.
As developments unfold, observers will be watching closely for the next steps in this contentious legal battle. Trump concluded his statement with a rallying cry, “We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
