US EditionDonald Trump sues Dow Jones, News Corp, Rupert Murdoch, WSJ reporters for libel, court records show
UNITED STATES, JUL 18 – Trump alleges the Wall Street Journal published a false letter linking him to Jeffrey Epstein, filing a libel suit against Rupert Murdoch and Dow Jones in federal court.
- Donald Trump initiated legal action in Miami against Dow Jones, News Corp, Rupert Murdoch, and two Wall Street Journal journalists concerning a 2003 letter he allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein.
- The lawsuit references a Wall Street Journal article describing a risqué letter featuring typed text enclosed within a hand-drawn, marker-sketch of a nude female figure, a note Trump denies authoring and insists is fabricated.
- Trump warned Murdoch and the WSJ in advance that he would sue if they published the story, but the paper ran it despite assurances it would be handled.
- Trump called the article 'false, malicious, and defamatory,' said on Truth Social he looks forward to Murdoch’s testimony, and his suit alleges libel and slander.
- The lawsuit comes amid criticism from Trump supporters over limited Epstein file disclosures, prompting Trump to order Attorney General Pam Bondi to release grand jury materials.
