WASHINGTON, July 19 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump filed a defamation lawsuit against several news companies on Friday, according to court records.
The lawsuit was filed in a Miami, Florida, court against two Wall Street Journal reporters, as well as news companies Dow Jones, News Corp and media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
The reason for this step was an article in the Wall Street Journal describing a congratulatory letter, allegedly from D. Trump to financier Jeffrey Epstein. It was sent in 2003 for the birthday of J. Epstein, who was accused of sexual exploitation of minors. The letter contained a drawing that allegedly had a sexual connotation.
D. Trump denied the article and said the congratulatory message was fake. He warned on social media that he planned to sue.
"Mr. Murdoch said he would take care of this, but apparently he had no authority to do so… Instead, they publish a false, malicious, defamatory story anyway. President Trump will soon sue the Wall Street Journal, News Corp, and Mr. Murdoch," Trump wrote earlier on Truth Social. -0-
