US EditionTrump’s Latest Lawsuit Is a ‘Sure Loser’
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA, JUL 21 – Trump seeks $10 billion in damages, challenging the Wall Street Journal's claim of a 2003 birthday letter to Epstein and demanding grand jury files related to the investigation.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit in southern Florida against Rupert Murdoch and The Wall Street Journal over an article about a hand-drawn card sent to Jeffrey Epstein.
- Thursday’s report by The Wall Street Journal claimed to have reviewed a 2003 birthday letter to Epstein allegedly sent by Trump, featuring a crude sketch and signature.
- U.S. District Judge Darrin P. Gayles was assigned Monday, nominated in 2014 by President Obama and the first openly gay Black federal judge.
- Consequently, the publication was barred from the White House press pool, and Mr. Trump may be required to testify under oath about Epstein if the case proceeds.
- Experts say the Journal will likely seek Trump’s communications about Epstein, but legal barriers make unsealing grand jury materials difficult, Katie Fallow noted to Forbes.
