**Trump Threatens Lawsuit Against Wall Street Journal Over Epstein Letter**
**Washington, July 18, 2025** – Former U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening to sue The Wall Street Journal and its owner, Rupert Murdoch, over a story detailing an alleged letter written by Trump to Jeffrey Epstein. The article claims the letter, part of a collection for Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003, included a sketch of a naked woman and Trump’s signature.
Trump vehemently denies writing the letter, calling the story “fake” and “defamatory” on his Truth Social network. He accuses the WSJ of relying on nonexistent sources and vows to “sue his a** off.”
The article comes amid renewed scrutiny of Trump’s past relationship with Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while facing sex trafficking charges. Trump supporters have long alleged a cover-up of Epstein’s crimes and a still-secret client list, claims dismissed by the Justice Department and FBI.
Trump has also called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to release transcripts of grand jury testimony in the Epstein case.
Meanwhile, reports have surfaced that Maurene Comey, a federal prosecutor who handled Epstein’s case and is the daughter of Trump critic James Comey, was recently fired from her position.
