Trump Declares War on Fake News Media Empire
President Trump announced Friday he is filing a “POWERHOUSE Lawsuit” worth $10 billion against everyone involved in publishing what he called a “false, malicious, defamatory, FAKE NEWS ‘article’” in the Wall Street Journal. The lawsuit targets the Journal’s publisher, media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, and others over their fabricated story claiming Trump wrote Jeffrey Epstein a “bawdy” birthday note in 2003—a complete lie designed to damage the President.
Fighting for All Americans Against Media Corruption
Trump made clear this lawsuit goes far beyond defending himself personally, stating he filed it “not only on behalf of your favorite President, ME, but also in order to continue standing up for ALL Americans who will no longer tolerate the abusive wrongdoings of the Fake News Media.” The President’s bold legal action represents the strongest pushback yet against years of coordinated media attacks designed to undermine his presidency and conservative values.
Trump posted on Truth Social: “I told Rupert Murdoch it was a Scam, that he shouldn’t print this Fake Story. But he did, and now I’m going to sue his ass off, and that of his third-rate newspaper.” The President’s direct confrontation with Murdoch shows he’s willing to take on even supposedly “conservative” media outlets when they spread lies about him.
Comprehensive Legal Campaign Against Media Enemies
The lawsuit is part of Trump’s broader legal offensive against media companies he views as opponents of truth and the American people. Trump’s statement also targeted many of his perceived enemies in the media, including CBS News, ABC News, the Pulitzer Prize board, “and many others who deal in, and push, disgusting LIES, and even FRAUD, to the American People.”
Steve Bannon, Trump’s former aide and a leader of the MAGA movement, praised the lawsuit as putting Trump’s supporters back “on offense.” Bannon said “President Trump has had enough and is fighting back – against his real enemies,” showing how this legal action has united the conservative base behind Trump’s war against fake news.
Justice Department Moves to Release Epstein Evidence
Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi filed a formal request to release grand jury testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein, proving the Trump administration has nothing to hide and wants full transparency. This move directly contradicts the media narrative and shows Trump is demanding the truth come out, not covering anything up like his enemies falsely claim.
Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit sends a powerful message that fake news media will finally face consequences for their lies and propaganda. When corrupt journalists know they can be sued into bankruptcy for spreading disinformation, they’ll think twice before attacking conservative leaders with manufactured scandals. This legal action protects every American from media manipulation and proves that truth and justice are winning against the lying press that has poisoned our country for too long.
