President Trump sued The Wall Street Journal’s parent company for libel Friday after the newspaper published a story detailing an alleged letter Trump sent to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday.
Court records indicate Trump filed a federal libel suit against the company, but the complaint was not immediately available.
Trump threatened to sue the outlet in an interview ahead of publication, and he doubled down on the threat after the story was published Thursday evening.
According to the Journal, the letter allegedly includes several lines of text “framed by the outline of a naked woman.” It allegedly ends: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”
Trump denies writing the letter.
The suit names the story’s two reporters, Dow Jones, News Corp and Rupert Murdoch, who controls the company, as defendants. It was filed in federal court in the Southern District of Florida.
The Hill has reached out to News Corp for comment.
