On july 19th, the u. S. President donald trump filed charges against media tycoon rupert murdoch and press groups, dow jones and two journalists in the wall street journal, for defamation of tramp and the late american businessman jeffrey eppstein, published the day before。
For the above, trump seeks $10 billion in compensation. Reuters reported that the amount claimed was much greater than the most recent defamation judgement or settlement。

Media vilification of the president
Trump filed a lawsuit under the federal defamation act with a federal court in miami city, accusing the founders of the press group, the wall street journal parent company, dow jones, the press group and chief executive officer, robert thomson, and two wall street journal journalists of allegedly defamation, resulting in “significant” property and reputational damage。
The news group is the parent company of dow jones and the wall street journal is a newspaper under the umbrella of the news group, which is run by murdoch。
The 17th wall street journal published a report on april 17, which referred to trump’s friendship with this rich businessman. On his 50th birthday in 2003, he was given a birthday blessing by a number of celebrities, including hunt rumple, the largest property at the time. According to the newspaper, trump wrote to epstein to congratulate him on his 50th birthday, which contained indecent illustrations and referred to the sharing of “secrets” between the two。
Trump “strongly denies” the reports as “false news”. According to reuters, before the above-mentioned reports were published, trump warned murdoch。
Trump's “real socialization” post on the social media platform states that all persons associated with the publication of “false, malicious, defamatory, false news `article'” in the “unuseful trash (newspapers)” have been prosecuted and that “i hope rupert and his “friends” look forward” provide several hours of testimony in this case。
Trump said that the birthday blessing referred to in the report was “false”, and the publication of the wall street journal was intended to discredit him. The indictment stated that the wall street journal report did not indicate whether the accused had been provided with a copy of the blessing, had seen it, had been described to the accused, or had any other information that could show credibility。
Trump wrote in social media that he sued wall street journal reporters and others, such as merdoch, not only for their own sake, but also for “showing out” as “all americans no longer tolerate false media misconduct”。
“we have full confidence in the accuracy and accuracy of the report and will respond positively to any lawsuit”
Public record
The $10 billion claim, stated by a lawyer with experience in defamation and the first amendment to the united states constitution, was “exceeded figures” and, if it were, “it would be the largest defamation award in the history of the united states”。
In august 2019, he died in prison and was convicted of “suicide”. During the 2024 presidential election campaign in trump, it was promised that the file on the aprilan case would be made public. However, when the first files were released at the end of february this year, there was no new explosive information。

The united states department of justice and the federal bureau of investigation issued a memorandum this month, finding that there was no credible evidence that epstein had a “client list” for extortion of prominent figures, that there was no evidence that epstein had died in the murder and that no further documents relating to the epstein case would be published in the future。
The epstein case has recently left the white house uneasy. The trump administration had hoped that the aide-mÉmoire released earlier this month would mark the end of the case, but the contents of the aide-mÉmoire were a source of challenge and dissatisfaction within the group that supported trump’s “make america great again” (maga) campaign, calling for the publication of all the investigation records in the case. Under pressure, trump asked the ministry of justice to seek publication of the jury record of the case。
Also on 18 december, the deputy minister of justice of the united states, todd blanche, proposed that another federal court in manhattan, new york, should make public the records of the grand jury on the case of the abduction of young girls by einstein and former girlfriend gislan maxwell, subject to the protection of the privacy of the victim。
Reuters reported that the disclosure of the records may still fail to meet the claims of trump supporters seeking information on the case, and that federal judges may also reject requests from the united states department of justice. (bou shelleen)
