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.”

#1 I think they settle quickly. Trump’s MO is super models not kids. The Russian hooker stuff was more believable.

May the truth come out and Trump be paid accordingly.

But say what if....
Wouldn't this help Musk's American party venture?
So what if Elon was behind the leaks

#3 WSJ's editorial board is nominally conservative, but not always. The rest of the rag is liberal bullshit

#4 Centrist and fiscally sensible on the editorial page rather than conservative, it seems to me. The reporters are some of the best put out by the leading journalism schools, which means they’ve been pre-sorted for attitude. They just have better manners than the NY Times hires — no walkouts or protests in the newsroom.

#5 I guess the WSJ would have an excellent legal department. I'd be surprised if they didn't triple check this.

#9 Trump is two for two in this kind of lawsuit. WSJ might be in trouble.

#10 No coincidence this story comes out at the same time Tulsi Gabbard drops the criminal referrals on Obama, Brennan, Clapper and Rice.

#11 If I was Trump, I would not settle. Let everything play out openly in the courtroom with no sealing of any records.

Fuck You WSJ
