U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he will sue The Wall Street Journal, News Corp—the conglomerate that owns the newspaper—and its owner Rupert Murdoch for publishing the “obscene” content of an alleged letter the president sent to Jeffrey Epstein, who was accused of sex trafficking.

“President Trump will be suing The Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp, and Mr. Murdoch, shortly. The Press has to learn to be truthful, and not rely on sources that probably don’t even exist (…) Trump has already beaten George Stephanopoulos/ABC, 60 Minutes/CBS, and others, and looks forward to suing and holding accountable the once great Wall Street Journal” the Republican leader wrote in Truth Social.
These remarks refer to an article published just a few hours ago by the outlet, in which it reveals the “obscene” content of a letter supposedly sent by the now-president to Epstein.
According to the WSJ, Epstein’s former assistant, Ghislaine Maxwell—who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for being an accomplice to the magnate—collected letters from Trump and other Epstein associates to include them in a 2003 album as a birthday gift for the deceased child abuser.
A letter signed by Trump and reviewed by The Wall Street Journal contains several lines of typewritten text surrounded by a hand-drawn outline of a nude woman, which the president allegedly sketched with a marker. WSJ highlights that Trump’s signature is scribbled below the woman’s waist in a way that mimics pubic hair. The letter ends with a birthday greeting from Trump wishing that each day be “another wonderful secret.” In an interview with the newspaper, Trump denied writing such letter or creating the drawing and warned that he would sue the outlet if the story was published.
The WSJ article was published as the Jeffrey Epstein scandal resurfaces in the U.S., following an FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation that concluded Epstein did not have a “list of famous clients” he was blackmailing. Both agencies confirmed that Epstein died by suicide, dismissing conspiracy theories that he was murdered to protect his acquaintances, and indicated they would not release further details of the investigation. Many of the most ardent supporters of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement remain dissatisfied with these findings, as President Trump, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino had promised before this administration began that they would reveal “the truth” behind the case.
