And indeed, the nation\u2019s legacy media would have the public believe it never happened.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Only President Trump regularly reminds the world that it in fact did happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Later on Thursday, the Wall Street Journal published a letter dated 2003 with President Donald Trump&#8217;s name on it that was described by the outlet as featuring \u201cseveral lines of typewritten text surrounded by the outline of a naked woman, sketched in marker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The illustration published by the Journal also includes two small arcs representing breasts, with Trump\u2019s signature written below the waist and resembling pubic hair, reports noted. The letter reportedly concludes: \u201cHappy Birthday \u2014 and may every day be another wonderful secret.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump has called it a &#8220;fake&#8221; and has sued the Journal.<\/p>\n<p>Court records show that Trump filed a lawsuit alleging libel against Murdoch, the Journal\u2019s publisher, Dow Jones, and the reporters who wrote the article in federal court for the Southern District of Florida.<\/p>\n<p>The president wrote on Truth Social:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Wall Street Journal printed a FAKE letter, supposedly to Epstein. These are not my words, not the way I talk. Also, I don\u2019t draw pictures. I told Rupert Murdoch it was a Scam, that he shouldn\u2019t print this Fake Story. But he did, and now I\u2019m going to sue his ass off, and that of his third rate newspaper. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DJT<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>An earlier post on Trump&#8217;s Truth Social account stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Wall Street Journal, and Rupert Murdoch, personally, were warned directly by President Donald J. Trump that the supposed letter they printed by President Trump to Epstein was a FAKE and, if they print it, they will be sued. Mr. Murdoch stated that he would take care of it but, obviously, did not have the power to do so. The Editor of The Wall Street Journal, Emma Tucker, was told directly by Karoline Leavitt, and by President Trump, that the letter was a FAKE, but Emma Tucker didn\u2019t want to hear that. Instead, they are going with a false, malicious, and defamatory story anyway. President Trump will be suing The Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp, and Mr. Murdoch, shortly.<\/p>\n<p>The Press has to learn to be truthful, and not rely on sources that probably don\u2019t even exist. President Trump has already beaten George Stephanopoulos\/ABC, 60 Minutes\/CBS, and others, and looks forward to suing and holding accountable the once great Wall Street Journal. It has truly turned out to be a \u201cDisgusting and Filthy Rag\u201d and, writing defamatory lies like this, shows their desperation to remain relevant. If there were any truth at all on the Epstein Hoax, as it pertains to President Trump, this information would have been revealed by Comey, Brennan, Crooked Hillary, and other Radical Left Lunatics years ago. It certainly would not have sat in a file waiting for \u201cTRUMP\u201d to have won three Elections. This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS!<\/p>\n<p>Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval. This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">President Trump\u2014we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hOXzdTcYYB\">pic.twitter.com\/hOXzdTcYYB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Attorney General Pamela Bondi (@AGPamBondi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AGPamBondi\/status\/1946014427670851643?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 18, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Forgive my language but this story is complete and utter bullshit.
