President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit on Friday against media mogul Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal over the newspaper’s reporting on his alleged ties to financier Jeffrey Epstein. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Miami, seeks at least $10 billion in damages, according to the Associated Press.

The legal action follows a Wall Street Journal story published Thursday that described a sexually suggestive letter reportedly bearing Trump’s name, included in a 2003 album for Epstein’s 50th birthday. Trump denied authoring the letter, calling the report “false, malicious, and defamatory.”

The letter was reportedly collected by British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell years before Epstein’s first arrest in 2006 and prior to a falling-out with Trump. While the Journal described the letter’s contents, it did not publish the full image or disclose how it obtained the document.

On Truth Social, Trump stated, “This lawsuit is filed not only on behalf of your favorite President, ME, but also in order to continue standing up for ALL Americans who will no longer tolerate the abusive wrongdoings of the Fake News Media.”

A spokesperson for Dow Jones, the Journal’s publisher, said, “We have full confidence in the rigor and accuracy of our reporting, and will vigorously defend against any lawsuit.”

Trump has previously reached multimillion-dollar settlements with ABC and CBS over similar legal actions.

On the same day, the Justice Department requested that a federal court unseal grand jury transcripts in Epstein’s case amid heightened public interest in his connections to Trump and other leaders. In recent days, Trump has criticized his supporters as “weaklings” for seeking additional records from the Epstein investigation.
