Wall Street Journal Posts Alledged Trump Letter to Epstein; Trump Retaliates With Lawsuit

 It won't go away quietly; case in point. 

So what does the President do? One of the few things Trump is known for:

U.S. President Donald on Friday made good on his pledge to sue The Wall Street Journal over its reporting that he wrote a “bawdy” letter for a leather-bound album that Ghislaine Maxwell prepared for the 50th birthday of Jeffrey Epstein, the financier and convicted sex offender who allegedly killed himself in jail while facing federal sex trafficking charges.

Maxwell, who is now serving a 20-year prison sentence “for conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse minors,” collected dozens of letters for the book, according to the Journal.

The president’s history with Epstein has received heightened scrutiny in recent days, amid demand for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to release its full files on the late sex offender. The two men were publicly associated with each other in the 1990s, up until a reported falling out over a business deal in 2004. Epstein was first arrested for sex crimes two years later.

Shortly after leaving the Trump administration earlier this year, Elon Musk, the richest man on Earth, claimed on his social media platform X that the president “is in the Epstein files” and “that is the real reason they have not been made public.”

After congressional Republicans repeatedly blocked a measure that would force the DOJ to release all Epstein files while protecting victims early this week, Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act and warned that if it is not considered by the House of Representatives within seven legislative days, a discharge petition will be circulated.

Late Thursday, after the Journal report was published, Trump said in a Truth post: “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!”

In a post on X, Bondi said, “President Trump—we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts.”

And as more time passes, the unanswered questions become more obvious. In a way, it's poetic justice for the person who kept harping about Barack Obama presenting his birth certificate.
