The So-Called "Bombshell" Release...

WSJ will be contacted for a lawsuit.


President Trump has just filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, its parent companies (Dow Jones and News Corp), reporters Khadeeja Safdar and Joe Palazzolo, and media mogul Rupert Murdoch. The lawsuit stems from a recent WSJ article claiming Trump contributed a 2003 birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein, which included a drawing of a naked woman in an album compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell—an account Trump strongly denies Wikipedia+15The Wall Street Journal+15YouTube+15. He calls the story fake news, says the letter never existed, and is demanding courts unseal grand jury records to show there’s no proof The Guardian+1ABC News+1.

This is Trump’s latest legal move after similar suits against ABC and CBS—some resulted in settlements, some failed. But suiting a major conservative newspaper while in office is a bold escalation WikipediaCBS News. Trump must prove WSJ knowingly published false or reckless claims, which is a high bar under U.S. defamation law—a “public figure” must show actual malice Reuters+1CBS News+1.

Why it matters:

  • Legal Precedent: A win could open the door for more lawsuits by public figures against major media.

  • Media Pressure: Trump aims to pressure WSJ and other outlets to be more cautious or face consequences.

  • Epstein Spotlight: The case brings renewed attention to Trump’s ties to Epstein, sparking fresh scrutiny.

This lawsuit matters because it strikes at the heart of how media, politics, and public accountability collide. If Trump wins, it could set a powerful legal precedent, making it easier for public figures to sue news outlets, which would have a chilling effect on investigative journalism. That would mean reporters might second-guess publishing stories that challenge powerful people—especially those connected to controversial figures like Jeffrey Epstein. 

At the same time, Trump is using this case to push back hard against what he calls “fake news,” applying direct pressure on legacy outlets like The Wall Street Journal to tighten their reporting or face massive legal and financial consequences. But perhaps most importantly, this lawsuit reopens the Epstein question in a high-profile way. 

By denying he ever wrote the alleged birthday note, Trump is forcing the media—and the courts—to dig into records and testimonies that might reveal more than just what’s real or fake. It could pull fresh attention to who really knew what, and when, in a story that many believed was being quietly buried.

Trump and Bill Gates ANNOUNCE THE BEAST SYSTEM

Image
When Bill Gates speaks of the end of the smartphone era, it signals more than just a technological upgrade—it hints at a broader shift in control over human interaction with machines.  You might support Trump with your vote, you might even lift him up in prayer, but remember— he is not the one to follow. The only one worthy of following is Jesus. Trump and Bill Gates ANNOUNCE THE BEAST SYSTEM!!! The “replacement” is not likely to be a simple gadget but rather a system designed to integrate seamlessly into the human body and mind, whether through wearable devices, neural interfaces, or augmented reality overlays. Such a change would eliminate the boundary between person and machine, allowing constant monitoring, data collection, and even subtle behavioral influence.  The announcement is framed as innovation, yet behind the curtain it aligns with long-standing ambitions of global tech elites to centralize power by embedding technology into the very fabric of human life. Instead ...
