U.S. President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit on Friday against Dow Jones, News Corp, Rupert Murdoch and two Wall Street Journal reporters, raising claims under federal libel law, court records show. A copy of the complaint was not immediately available.

The defamation lawsuit was filed in a Florida federal court.

Trump is facing mounting pressure from his MAGA base to publicly release Justice Department files from the Epstein case.

Vice President JD Vance has strongly criticized The Wall Street Journal's report linking President Trump to a sexually suggestive message in Jeffrey Epstein's tribute book, accusing the WSJ of publishing a baseless "hit piece.

President Trump is under increasing pressure to have the Justice Department release files about the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Donald Trump sued the Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones in federal court on Friday, according to Reuters. The lawsuit seeks $10 billion per count over a report linking him to Jeffrey Epstein. Legal experts say the case may be dismissed because Trump did not comply with Florida’s five-day notice rule for defamation suits.

Following The Wall Street Journal ‘s bombshell report on a birthday letter Donald Trump allegedly wrote to Jeffrey Epstein, the president sued the newspaper’s parent company, News Corp., Dow Jones (its publisher), two reporters for the Journal, and billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch, who owns News Corp. owner.
