President Trump is not holding back as he takes legal action against the Wall Street Journal for defamation. The lawsuit comes in response to a controversial story claiming that Trump wrote a racy 50th birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Florida just 24 hours after the WSJ story was published. Trump alleges that the Journal falsely portrayed him as the author of a lewd drawing and signature, when in fact, there is no authentic letter or drawing. He accuses the Journal of fabricating the story to tarnish his character and integrity.
According to the court documents obtained by TMZ, Trump’s attorney had warned the Journal prior to publication that the story was false and threatened legal action. Despite this warning, the Journal went ahead and published the story, prompting Trump to seek retribution.
In a bold move, Trump is demanding a staggering $10 billion in damages from the WSJ and its parent company, News Corp. The lawsuit also names Rupert Murdoch and News Corp CEO Robert Thomson as defendants, along with the two reporters who authored the story.
This legal battle is just beginning, and the stakes are high. Trump is determined to clear his name and hold the Journal accountable for what he believes to be a malicious attack on his reputation. As the story continues to unfold, the public will be watching closely to see how it plays out.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
