Trump sues Murdoch, Wall Street Journal over Epstein birthday letter story, seeking $10 billion in damages

The move came shortly after the Ministry of Justice request from a federal court on Friday that the provisions of the Greater Persons Authority in the Ibstein case for sex trafficking, as the administration seeks to contain the fire storm that erupted after it announced that it will not issue additional files from the case, despite its previous pledge to do so.

This controversy created a major incision between Trump and his loyal base, as some of his most supporters loudly closed the White House for the way he dealt with the issue, and asked why Trump did not want to announce the documents.

Trump has promised to sue the Wall Street Journal almost immediately after the paper shook the new light on his well -documented relationship with Epstein by publishing an article describing a sexual inspired speech that the newspaper says Bore Trump and included in the 2003 album that was assembled for the fifty Epstein birthday.

Trump denied writing the letter, describing the story “false, malicious and delicious.”

The lawsuit, filed in the Federal Court in Miami, accuses the paper and its correspondents, “publishing” intentionally and recklessly “” many misconceptions, defamation and meager “that caused” financial damage and pillows “to the president.

In a post on his social site for the truth, Trump threw the lawsuit as part of his efforts to punish the media, including ABC and CBS, which reached the settlement of millions of dollars with the president after being transferred to the court.

“This lawsuit is not submitted on behalf of your favorite president, but also in order to continue to defend all Americans who no longer tolerate the errors of the fake media,” he wrote.

“We have complete confidence in the accuracy and accuracy of our reports, and we will defend strongly against any lawsuit.”

According to what was reported, the message revealed by the Wall Street Journal was collected by the British British social social Gissillan Maxwell as part of a birthday album for years before the archaeological financier was arrested for the first time in 2006, then he was subjected to a retreat with Trump.

The letter bearing the name Trump includes a text framed through the outlines of what appears to be a naked woman drawn by hand and ends with “Happy Birthday-and every day may be a great secret,” according to the newspaper.

Trump denied writing the letter and promised to sue. He said that he spoke to the owner of the paper, Robert Murdoch, and his first editor, Emma Taker, before publishing the story and told them that the message was “fake.”

The president insisted: “These are not my words, and not the way I speak. Also, I do not draw pictures.”

The port described the contents of the message, but he did not publish a picture that it fully clarified or provided details about how to identify it.

In the lawsuit, Trump takes a problem with this fact. The defendants are witnessing, “they failed to attach the message, failed to attach the alleged drawing, and they failed to show evidence that President Trump has composed or signed any such speech, and failed to explain how to obtain this alleged message.”

“The reason is that these failures are that there is no authentic discourse or drawing,” and continues to accuse, claiming that “the defendants have cleared this story to President Trump’s personality, his weapon, and depicting him in a false manner in a wrong light.”

Earlier on Friday, Deputy Public Prosecutor Todd Blanche submitted requests in a separate federal court urging them to cancel Epstein’s texts, as well as those in the case against Maxwell, who was convicted of attracting teenage girls to abuse sexually by Ibstein. Epstein was killed in 2019 shortly after his arrest while waiting for the trial.

The announcement of the Ministry of Justice that it will not announce any other Epsin files partially angry parts of the Trump base because its administration members have developed the expected conspiracies and conspiracies on the well -continuing financier.

The Ministry of Justice said in the court files that it will work with the public prosecutors in New York to conduct suitable procedures for information related to the victim and other information that it personally determines before issuing the texts.

“The transparency in this process will not be at the expense of our commitment to the law to protect the victims,” Blanche wrote.

However, despite the new batch of launching the texts of the major jury, the administration has not announced plans to reflect the path and issue other evidence in its possession. Public Prosecutor Bam Bondi had led to the launch of more materials after the disclosure of Epstein’s first files in February angered because it does not include any new examination.

The judge will have to approve the issuance of the provisions of the Great Persons Authority, and it is likely that it is a long process to determine what can become public and for updates to protect witness information and sensitive victim.

The records will present a certificate for the witnesses and other evidence provided by the Judicial Prosecution during the procedures of the major jury, when a committee is decided if there is sufficient evidence to bring an indictment, or an official criminal charge.
