Trump sues Rupert Murdoch, Wall Street Journal for $10B over Epstein sex bombshell

[IsraelTimes] Publisher of newspaper vows to ‘vigorously defend against any lawsuit’ as US president rages over report on ‘bawdy’ birthday letter to Epstein.

Don Surber has thoughts:

The counterfeit letter on Epstein may end the Wall Street Journal

The Wall Street Journal late last night published a counterfeit letter it falsely accused Trump of sending to Jeff Epstein in 2003—long before law enforcement or the future president discovered Epstein pimped minors.

How do I know the letter is false? Rupert Murdoch’s WSJ told me so.

You see, it ran a 13,000-word expose on Epstein on December 17, 2023. The piece did not mention Trump. Not once. If the publication had the goods on Trump, it would have exposed him ahead of the 2024 presidential primary season.

If the deep state had the goods on Trump, the end of him would have come years ago.

Trump warned Murdoch the letter was fake but he ran the story anyway, “Jeffrey Epstein’s Friends Sent Him Bawdy Letters for a 50th Birthday Album. One Was From Donald Trump.”
