Washington, (Reuters) .- President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against Dow Jones, News Corp, Rupert Murdoch and two reporters from The Wall Street Journal, raising claims under the Federal Dead Law, showed judicial records.
It did not immediately set a copy of the lawsuit. The case was presented in a Federal Court in Miami.
The demand occurs after The Wall Street Journal reported on a congratulation for the 50th birthday to Epstein that Trump supposedly sent in 2003 and that included a sexually suggestive drawing and a reference to secrets they shared.
Trump vehemently denied the Journal’s report, which Reuters has not verified. Trump warned Rupert Murdoch, founder of News Corp, the newspaper company of the newspaper, which plans to sue him.
“I am looking forward to getting Rupert Murdoch testifying in my demand against him and his newspaper, the ‘pile of garbage’ of the WSJ. It will be an interesting experience!” Trump said on his social truth platform on Friday morning.

Trump accuses WSJ of publishing a ‘false’ letter to Epstein: ‘They are not my words’
The Journal said that the letter with the name of Trump is part of a book bound in leather by Epstein’s birthday and included messages from other high profile people.
As indicated, the letter contains several typed text lines framed by the contour of a naked woman, which seemed to be drawn by hand with a thick marker. The newspaper said that the letter concludes with the phrase “Happy Birthday – and that every day is another wonderful secret”, signed by “Donald”.
The accusations that Epstein sexually abused girls became public in 2006 – after the shipment of greeting – and was arrested that year before accepting an agreement with the Prosecutor’s Office. Epstein died in 2019 in jail after being arrested for the second time and accused of conspiracy of sex trafficking.
Some of Trump’s most loyal supporters reacted furiously after the Department of Justice pointed out this month that there is no evidence that supports a series of conspiracy theories for a long time on the clients of the financial financial fallen and his death in prison.
The demands of Trump supporters of more documents related to Epstein have caused an unusual fracture within the president’s base.

The Maga world mobilizes to defend Trump and qualifies the alleged letter to Epstein as ‘lie’
Supporters, inspired by conservative presenters and podcasters, have said that the federal government is hiding records to protect rich and influential people with links with Epstein.
The Trump government presented on Friday a motion before a Federal Court of Manhattan to reveal the transcripts of the Grand Jury regarding the case.
The Department of Justice said that criminal cases against Epstein and his former partner Ghislaine Maxwell are of public interest, which justifies the publication of the transcripts of the Grand Jury.
Trump, who was photographed with Epstein multiple times in social situations in the 1990s and early 2000s, told reporters in 2019 that he finished his relationship with Epstein long before his legal problems became evident.
