Trump refiles $10bn lawsuit against WSJ over report on alleged Epstein ties

Donald Trump’s legal team has refiled its lawsuit over a Wall Street Journal story alleging that he had sent a “bawdy” letter to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein in 2003, after a Florida judge had dismissed the case last month.

The move restarts a bombshell case that pits the US president against one of his key media allies, Rupert Murdoch.

A spokesperson for Trump’s legal team called the case, which also names the Murdoch-owned Journal publisher Dow Jones and reporters Khadeeja Safdar and Joe Palazzolo, a “powerhouse lawsuit” and said: “The President will continue to hold those who mislead the American People with Fake News and smears accountable for their actions.”

    So, just today:

    1. Trump DOJ opens an investigation into E. Jean Carroll

    2. Plans are being made to issue a $250 bill with Trump’s face on it (this is illegal)

    3. Trump sues the WSJ over a true story in an attempt to get another bribe

    This is why we’re so fucking tired.

    Edit: 4. The White House intervened to secure a $620 million dollar loan from the Pentagon for a company tied to Donald Jr.

    This bitch ass country fucken sucks. I hope Trump robs so much it collapses the country. Because nobody will stop him and I’m stuck fucking around states around cause Dems won’t grow a spine and bus the revolution to Washington like the Republicans bussed their revolution. Yeah both sides aren’t the same, the only one willing to take action is the one that wants to murder and enslave humanity.
