President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against media mogul Rupert Murdoch, News Corp., and The Wall Street Journal over an article about a birthday note allegedly written to Jeffrey Epstein. The lawsuit seeks at least $20 billion in damages from the defendants, including the newspaper’s publisher Dow Jones & Co. and two reporters.
The Wall Street Journal recently published an article describing what they called a “bawdy” birthday note that Trump supposedly wrote to Epstein, who was a billionaire previously convicted of sex crimes. Trump claims the letter is fake, and his legal team argues that the newspaper failed to meet proper journalistic standards and ethics in their reporting.
