Trump sues Murdoch and Wall Street Journal for $10bn over Epstein article | BBC News

توضیحات:

Donald Trump has filed a $10bn (£7.5bn) lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal's parent company Dow Jones and its owner Rupert Murdoch over claims that he wrote a "bawdy" note to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The US president claims the publication slandered him and violated libel laws in an article alleging that a birthday greeting bearing Trump's name was sent to the late financier in 2003, before he was charged with sex crimes. Trump said the note, which the paper reported he had sent for Epstein's 50th birthday, is "fake". It came as the US justice department asked a judge to unseal material related to Epstein, following intense criticism of the Trump administration's handling of the case.
