Trump Sues WSJ Over Report on Jeffrey Epstein's Birthday Letters as Libel Claim

President Donald Trump is filing a libel lawsuit against the publisher of the Wall Street Journal and reporters who wrote a story about a collection of letters gifted to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday, alleging the WSJ report was inaccurate and defamatory. The letters in question were allegedly given by billionaire Leslie Wexner, Epstein's financier and friend, to Trump at a White House dinner in 2002. Trump is seeking unspecified damages from the WSJ and its reporters, which he claims were wrong about his relationship with Epstein. The lawsuit follows a report published last week that alleged Trump had received gifts for Epstein's birthdays.
