Donald Trump has filed a libel and slander lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch and two Wall Street Journal reporters over a report alleging he sent Jeffrey Epstein a lewd birthday note and sketch of a naked woman.
The lawsuit, filed in a US court, describes the Wall Street Journal's report as “false and defamatory.” Trump is seeking at least $10bn in damages and court costs from Murdoch, the reporters, News Corporation CEO Robert Thomson, and related corporate entities.
The legal action centres on claims made in the article, which Trump denies. The filing argues that the report has caused significant harm to his reputation.
