Trump Sues murdoch’s Media Empire for $10 Billion Over Epstein Story
Donald Trump is seeking $10 billion in damages from Rupert Murdoch‘s media empire, including Fox News and the Wall Street Journal, alleging defamation. The lawsuit stems from a recent report by the Wall Street Journal detailing a message Trump allegedly contributed to a birthday compilation for Jeffrey Epstein.
the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump’s message for Epstein’s 50th birthday read, “that every day is another fantastic secret.” The article also described an accompanying illustration. Trump’s legal team claims he informed Rupert Murdoch that the message was fabricated before its publication, and that Murdoch assured him it would be handled. The lawsuit asserts that Murdoch’s “direct involvement further underlines the real maliciousness of defendants.”
