Donald Trump Files A 10 Billion Dollar Lawsuit Against The WSJ For Their Jeffrey Epstein Story (7/21/25)


Listen Later

Donald Trump has filed a defamation lawsuit seeking at least $10 billion in damages against the Wall Street Journal, its publisher Dow Jones/News Corp, media mogul Rupert Murdoch, and two Journal reporters. The suit, lodged in federal court in Miami on July 18, 2025, targets a WSJ report asserting Trump sent a “bawdy” 2003 birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein, complete with a crude drawing of a naked woman and suggestive text bearing his signature. Trump adamantly denies any involvement, labeling the article “fake,” and accuses the Journal of reckless reporting, failing to verify whether it even saw the original letter.

Legal experts say Trump faces a steep climb: to win as a public figure, he must prove “actual malice” — that the Journal knowingly published false information or acted with reckless disregard for the truth. The lawsuit is historic: if successful, its $10 billion award would dwarf past defamation payouts. Critics warn it could have a chilling effect on press freedom. Meanwhile, Trump’s attorneys argue the story caused “overwhelming” harm to his reputation and finances
