The suit, filed in filed in federal court in Miami, accuses the paper and its reporters of having “knowingly and recklessly” published “numerous false, defamatory, and disparaging statements,” which, it alleges, caused “overwhelming financial and reputational harm” to the president.

As it turns out, the article is a gift from Murdoch: https://www.axios.com/2025/07/18/trump-epstein-letter-maga-documents

Just outrageous and questionable enough for MAGA to use as cover, and Trump to turn into a lighting rod. But it doesn't change much for anyone else. Before, MAGA Media had nothing to point to and paint Trump as the victim. Now, they do.

It derailed the schism :/

Other media's lapping it up to tell readers want they want to hear: MAGA is infighting, when in reality they are not.

I wonder if the contents of the files can be called as evidence for the defense.

Murdoch, of all people, now a champion of free speech?

It never ceases to amaze me how completely absurd the US is.

Discovery is going to be glorious. But TACO

It's cause he's a pedophile and rapes children

He really wants to make sure everyone knows about his ties to his buddy Epstein doesn’t he? Or maybe he is that stupid.

I feel like I'm watching one of those movies whose major third act twist you see coming from the opening scene but like, your 67 year old mom/grandmother is actually shocked by and gets so angry they want to leave the theater, and you can try to point out all the obvious signs telegraphing who the real killer is but some people just can not accept a story where the bad guy is pretending to be a normal human

🍿

This will send any evidence into the public domain. This'll be fun!

I can’t wait for discovery and Trump being forced to do a deposition. That worked so well for him in the past.

Honestly, I feel like somehow they’re just going to settle out of court and he’ll get a few million sent his way for no apparent reason.

I'm sure Rupert Murdoch will have a treasure trove of shit on Trump.

remember clinton wanting to be known as the education president. So many options for this guy. The litigious president, the graft president, the unqualified president, it just goes on and on.

Republicans are eating each other now.
