Donald Trump has sued Rupert Murdoch and two Wall Street Journal newspaper reporters for libel and slander over claims that he sent sex offender Jeffrey Epstein a bawdy note and sketch of a naked woman.
Trump’s lawsuit on Friday, which also targets Dow Jones and News Corp, was filed in the southern district of Florida federal court in Miami.
It came after the Journal reported on a 50th birthday greeting that Trump allegedly sent to Epstein in 2003 that included a sexually suggestive drawing and reference to secrets they shared. It was reportedly a contribution to a birthday album compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell.
No. Stop. Don’t.
Pretty sure this would mean an actual copy of the letter, if it exists, will have to be entered into evidence.
Only if they don’t settle out of court.
I can’t imagine trump wants this to go to a court room.
Lol you have much more faith in our justice system than I do.
They can order the publisher to provide it? I don’t know but I would think so.
In fact they can but journalists tend to protect their sources so courts don’t often challenge them this way. But it happens.
