Trump sues Dow Jones, News Corp, Rupert Murdoch, WSJ reporters for libel

Donald Trump has sued Rupert Murdoch and News Corp following a Wall Street Journal report about a letter he allegedly wrote for Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday in 2003. The lawsuit, filed in Florida, includes claims against WSJ reporters and Murdoch.

The report claimed Trump wrote, "may every day be another wonderful secret," in the letter, which featured a lewd drawing. After the publication, Trump called the story “false, malicious, and defamatory,” threatening legal action against Murdoch and the newspaper.

No comments were immediately provided by Murdoch’s companies or the White House. This legal move coincides with the Trump administration's efforts to address a recent Department of Justice memo on Epstein.
