US EditionJudge in Trump Murdoch Libel Case Handled Lawsuit President Dropped Against Michael Cohen
MIAMI, FLORIDA, USA, JUL 21 – Trump seeks $10 billion in damages over a Wall Street Journal article alleging he sent a lewd letter to Jeffrey Epstein, which he denies and calls defamatory.
- On July 18, 2025, President Donald Trump filed a libel suit against Rupert Murdoch and The Wall Street Journal, seeking $10 billion in Miami federal court.
- Last week, The Wall Street Journal published a report claiming to have reviewed a letter allegedly sent by President Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003, featuring a crude hand-drawn sketch of a naked woman.
- In a statement, Trump denied writing the note and asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek court approval to release grand jury testimony related to the Epstein investigation.
- Dow Jones & Company expressed `full confidence in the rigor and accuracy of our reporting`, while the case was assigned to Judge Darrin Gayles, who oversaw a previous suit against Michael Cohen.
- Potentially, the president may be required to testify under oath, intensifying scrutiny of his alleged relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, as the lawsuit proceeds.
