Wall Street Journal Publishes Trump-Epstein Story, President Threatens to Sue
Donald Trump is furious at The Wall Street Journal.
The newspaper published a tabloid hit piece on the president on Thursday, highlighting a racy birthday letter it claims he wrote Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. The note features a drawing of a naked woman. Trump says he didn’t make it.
“The Wall Street Journal, and Rupert Murdoch, personally, were warned directly by President Donald J. Trump that the supposed letter they printed by President Trump to Epstein was a FAKE and, if they print it, they will be sued,” the president wrote on Truth Social. Now, “President Trump will be suing The Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp, and Mr. Murdoch, shortly… This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS!”
Even if Trump is the artist, this is not a scandal. Someone drawing an inappropriate picture over two decades ago does not deserve headlines, especially considering the Epstein story has no shortage of angles actually worth covering.
