La Derecha Diario Trump officially sues Rupert Murdoch and seeks huge compensation
The President of the United States announced that he has sued the owner of the newspaper 'The Wall Street Journal' for defaming him
Donald Trump has officially filed a defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, its parent company Dow Jones, the conglomerate News Corp and its founder Rupert Murdoch, as well as against two journalists from the newspaper, Khadeeja Safdar and Joseph Palazzolo.
The lawsuit, filed in a federal court in Florida, seeks at least 10 billion dollars in compensation for the financial and reputational damages that the president has suffered as a result of the fictitious report.
The article in question claims without presenting evidence that Trump sent a birthday card in 2003 to the pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, which contained a sexually suggestive drawing and references to "shared secrets".
According to the newspaper, the note was inside a leather book with greetings from other prominent figures and contained an illustration of a naked woman with a message supposedly signed by Trump.
The Mainstream media, out of control
Trump has categorically denied the authenticity of the letter, calling it "false, malicious, and defamatory", emphasizing that neither the language nor the style of the drawing matches his way of expressing himself.
"Those are not my words, that's not how I speak. Besides, I don't draw", he wrote on his Truth Social network. He also accused the newspaper of having ignored his warnings not to publish the story under the warning of legal action.
The Wall Street Journal, owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch, has maintained an increasingly critical editorial tone toward the president in recent years.
The fact that this tabloid included an unverified image and a highly incriminating message without offering conclusive proof could be interpreted as an act more motivated by sensationalism than by responsible journalism.
Trump seeks to declassify the Epstein files
Trump himself recently ordered prosecutor Pam Bondi to request to a federal court the declassification of the grand jury testimonies that investigated the Epstein cases and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
However, it is important to recognize that the declassification of these documents will probably not contain all the required details immediately, since federal rules protect the privacy of the victims and limit the disclosure of materials obtained in judicial proceedings.
