Trump Sues Wall Street Journal Over Epstein Report

President Donald Trump has initiated a defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal and its owner, Rupert Murdoch, following the newspaper's publication of a report detailing alleged ties between Trump and financier Jeffrey Epstein. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Miami, seeks at least $10 billion in damages. Trump denies the allegations, describing the report as "false, malicious, and defamatory." The Wall Street Journal has expressed confidence in the accuracy of its reporting and intends to vigorously defend against the lawsuit. This legal action coincides with the Justice Department's request to unseal grand jury transcripts related to Epstein's case, aiming to address public interest and political pressure for transparency.
