President Donald Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal and media mogul Rupert Murdoch, following a controversial report about his connections with Jeffrey Epstein.
The lawsuit surfaced after the Justice Department petitioned a federal court to unseal grand jury transcripts from Epstein's sex trafficking case, sparking tension between Trump and his supporters due to the administration's reluctance to release more files despite prior promises.
In his lawsuit, Trump accused the newspaper of publishing false information about a letter allegedly penned by him, connected to Epstein's past, asserting its publication caused significant harm to his reputation.
