President Trump has turned on his longtime on-again, off-again ally, Rupert Murdoch. He filed a $10 billion dollar lawsuit against Murdoch and his company Newscorp after the Wall Street Journal’s report on Trump’s alleged racy birthday letter to Epstein in 2003.

If Donald Trump's defamation suit doesn't settle, the discovery process could raise more questions about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

The Wall Street Journal's July 17, 2025, report alleging Trump's suggestive letter in Jeffrey Epstein's 2003 birthday album ignited a $10 billion libel lawsuit and intensified calls for Epstein file disclosures,

The lawsuit sets the stage for another legal showdown initiated by Trump against the media, this time against his close ally.

With backlash from his base not abating, the Justice Dept. asked a federal judge to unseal grand jury transcripts related to Epstein's 2019 indictment.
