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.

    Game of chicken. If they don’t settle, Trump will pull out before he can be deposed. Of course there is a greater than zero chance that he is so far gone he doesn’t actually remember his little love letter.

      I’m shocked he has any children at all (for a variety of reasons) with pull-out game like his. My best guess is that half-pump chump Trump lost his balance at the critical moment of entry and, from those four occasions, life was made. Five occasions, I forgot one but to be fair, so does he.
