Donald Trump has launched a \$10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal, its parent companies, Rupert Murdoch, and several others, according to Reuters. Filed on July 18 in a federal court in Miami, the lawsuit claims the publication wrongly linked Trump to a 2003 birthday message sent to Jeffrey Epstein, which included a suggestive image and a mention of shared secrets. Trump argues that the article caused serious damage to both his reputation and financial standing. The suit also targets Dow Jones, News Corp, CEO Robert Thomson, and two journalists.
