U.S. President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit on Friday against Dow Jones, News Corp, Rupert Murdoch and two Wall Street Journal reporters, raising claims under federal libel law, court records show. A copy of the complaint was not immediately available.

President Donald Trump sued over The Wall Street Journal's reporting that he wrote a "bawdy" birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein.

President Trump is under increasing pressure to have the Justice Department release files about the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump is facing mounting pressure from his MAGA base to publicly release Justice Department files from the Epstein case.

Proving that the Wall Street Journal's reporting is false would require Trump to answer questions under oath about Jeffrey Epstein.

Donald Trump sued the Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones in federal court on Friday, according to Reuters. The lawsuit seeks $10 billion per count over a report linking him to Jeffrey Epstein. Legal experts say the case may be dismissed because Trump did not comply with Florida’s five-day notice rule for defamation suits.

NBC News Correspondents Vaughn Hillyard, Tom Winter and Sahil Kapur report on the Department of Justice’s latest announcement that it was seeking a meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell. NBC News Justice Reporter Ryan Reilly explains how President Trump is trying to deflect reports on the Epstein files by attacking former President Obama.
