Trump files libel suit against several news companies
WASHINGTON: United States (US) President Donald Trump on Friday filed a libel lawsuit against multiple news companies, reported Xinhua. According to court records, Trump filed the lawsuit in Miami, Florida, against two Wall Street Journal reporters, news firms Dow Jones, News Corp, and media mogul Rupert Murdoch. The lawsuit came after the Wall Street Journal reported on a greeting that Trump allegedly sent to convicted human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein in 2003 for Epstein's birthday. It included a drawing that may have been sexually suggestive. "A pair of small arcs denotes the woman's breasts, and the future president's signature is a squiggly 'Donald' below her waist, mimicking pubic hair," the Wall Street Journal reported, regarding the alleged drawing. The greeting said: "Happy Birthday – and may every day be another wonderful secret." Trump denied the report and said the letter was not real. Taking to social media, Trump warned that he planned to file a lawsuit. "Mr Murdoch stated that he would take care of it, but did not have the power to do so ... Instead, they are going with a false, malicious, defamatory story anyway. "President Trump will be suing the Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp and Mr Murdoch shortly," Trump said in a Truth Social post earlier. – Bernama-Xinhua
