Donald Trump has filed a defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and its publisher over an article that published an alleged birthday card to Jeffrey Epstein bearing Trump’s name and signature, including the outline of a naked woman. According to the federal lawsuit filed in South Florida, Trump denies ever writing the message and accuses the media of spreading lies and unreliable sources. He specifically targeted publisher Rupert Murdoch, promising to call him to testify. This lawsuit comes as Epstein’s files have shaken Trump’s right-wing base, and the FBI is in turmoil over the case. Trump also ordered the state attorney to release relevant grand jury testimonies in Epstein’s case, calling the whole affair a scam orchestrated by Democrats. This drama is fueling tensions between Trump, the media, and the justice system, while political battles over Epstein and his powerful connections continue to rage.
