Trump Files Libel Suit Against Murdoch Over WSJ Article
August 6, 2025 - 00:49
In a significant legal move, former President Donald Trump has initiated a libel lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal. The lawsuit stems from an article published by the Journal that allegedly linked Trump to a controversial letter sent to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in celebration of his 50th birthday.
The article has sparked outrage from Trump and his legal team, who argue that the publication's claims are unfounded and damaging to his reputation. The former president contends that the piece not only misrepresents his relationship with Epstein but also serves to undermine his public image.
As the case unfolds, it is expected that issues surrounding freedom of the press and the boundaries of journalistic integrity will be at the forefront of discussions. Trump's legal team is preparing to challenge the assertions made in the article, while Murdoch's representatives have yet to respond publicly to the allegations. This lawsuit marks another chapter in the ongoing tensions between Trump and major media outlets.
