The article in question alleged that Trump sent Epstein a lewd birthday letter back in 2003—a letter Trump firmly denies ever existed. Worse, the piece claimed the letter featured suggestive imagery and bizarre phrases. No credible evidence or official confirmation has backed the story, but that didn’t stop the Journal from running with it.
And now, they’re paying the price.
The president wasted no time firing back with legal action. Just days after the hit piece dropped, Trump filed a massive lawsuit targeting a wide array of defendants—everyone from reporters to media mogul Rupert Murdoch himself.
The complaint, which runs 18 pages long, slams the outlet for manufacturing a false narrative with the intention of smearing Trump’s name and reputation.
“Defendants concocted this story to malign President Trump’s character and integrity and deceptively portray him in a false light,” the lawsuit reads.
The suit names the Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones, News Corp, Rupert Murdoch, and CEO Robert Thomson as defendants. Two reporters who worked on the story are also being hauled into court.
Among the most salacious parts of the WSJ’s claims was a description of the alleged letter, which supposedly included lines of text “framed by the outline of a naked woman,” ending with the phrase, “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”
For Trump, this isn’t just about defending his own name—it’s about drawing a line in the sand.
“This lawsuit is filed not only on behalf of your favorite President, ME, but also in order to continue standing up for ALL Americans who will no longer tolerate the abusive wrongdoings of the Fake News Media,” Trump declared on Truth Social.
“I hope Rupert and his ‘friends’ are looking forward to the many hours of depositions and testimonies they will have to provide in this case,” he added.
The Journal has remained silent amid the backlash. When contacted by Politico for comment, the publication had nothing to say.
This moment marks a pivotal escalation in Trump’s ongoing war with legacy media. By denying WSJ access and launching a billion-dollar legal assault, Trump is signaling that he’s done playing defense.
This time, he’s taking the offensive.
And with the campaign trail heating up and the fake news engines revving harder than ever, one thing’s for sure—Trump’s not backing down. He’s coming for every last media institution that tried to bury him.
This isn’t just a lawsuit. It’s a declaration of war against the empire of lies. And Trump’s aiming for the head of the beast.
