In a bold move, Donald Trump has launched a $10 billion lawsuit against Dow Jones, the parent company of the Wall Street Journal, and its owner Rupert Murdoch. The lawsuit stems from a recent article that claimed Trump sent a "bawdy" birthday note to the late Jeffrey Epstein in 2003, prior to Epstein facing multiple sex crime charges. Trump categorically denies the existence of such a note, calling it “fake” in a social media post.
The lawsuit highlights Trump's long-standing contentious relationship with Murdoch, who has previously supported the ex-president. Trump expressed his frustration over the article on social media, stating, “We have just filed a powerhouse Lawsuit... in the useless 'rag' that is, The Wall Street Journal.” He assured followers that the article was published despite warnings of impending legal action.
A spokesperson for Dow Jones responded by expressing confidence in the accuracy of their reporting and emphasized their commitment to defend against the lawsuit vigorously.
At the same time, new developments have emerged regarding Epstein's case. The U.S. Justice Department has requested that a judge unseal grand jury materials related to Epstein, stirring up further debate among Trump supporters who are demanding transparency. Some even called for Attorney General Pam Bondi's resignation due to her handling of documents associated with the Epstein investigations.
Despite Trump's firm denial of the allegations presented in the WSJ, the controversy has stirred significant conversations within his support base, who feel pressured to see clear accountability and answers surrounding Epstein's case. With Congress also eyeing the situation, bipartisan efforts are being made to push for the release of relevant Epstein materials. As the saga unfolds, public interest in the Epstein case remains staunchly high, particularly among Trump's loyal followers.
