President Donald Trump on Friday took legal action less than 24 hours after The Wall Street Journal published an article saying Trump sent a letter to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003 that included a drawing of a naked woman.

The lawsuit named the The Wall Street Journal's parent company, its publisher, two reporters for the newspaper and Rupert Murdoch as the defendants.

The suit, filed in the Southern District of Florida, comes after Trump denied The Wall Street Journal's reporting that he had written a birthday message to Epstein more than two decades ago that featured a hand-drawn outline of a naked woman and a signature of his first name.

Dow Jones, News Corp., and the two reporters listed as defendants did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday.

The lawsuit has not yet been filed on the court's docket.

It sounds like a bigger crescendo every day but he's still in office, BBB is law, Project 2025 is ruining civilization, and there is little prospect of changing anything for a year in Congress or SCOTUS.

They're pretty insulated by the way they reported it. Of course maybe this is Murdoch helping him get the morons to rally around him again.
