President Donald Trump announced his intention to sue News Corp and Rupert Murdoch on Thursday after the Wall Street Journal published a letter Trump allegedly wrote to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Referring to himself in the third person in a Truth Social post, Trump wrote:

The Wall Street Journal, and Rupert Murdoch, personally, were warned directly by President Donald J. Trump that the supposed letter they printed by President Trump to Epstein was a FAKE and, if they print it, they will be sued. Mr. Murdoch stated that he would take care of it but, obviously, did not have the power to do so. The Editor of The Wall Street Journal, Emma Tucker, was told directly by Karoline Leavitt, and by President Trump, that the letter was a FAKE, but Emma Tucker didn’t want to hear that. Instead, they are going with a false, malicious, and defamatory story anyway. President Trump will be suing The Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp, and Mr. Murdoch, shortly. The Press has to learn to be truthful, and not rely on sources that probably don’t even exist. President Trump has already beaten George Stephanopoulos/ABC, 60 Minutes/CBS, and others, and looks forward to suing and holding accountable the once great Wall Street Journal. It has truly turned out to be a “Disgusting and Filthy Rag” and, writing defamatory lies like this, shows their desperation to remain relevant. If there were any truth at all on the Epstein Hoax, as it pertains to President Trump, this information would have been revealed by Comey, Brennan, Crooked Hillary, and other Radical Left Lunatics years ago. It certainly would not have sat in a file waiting for “TRUMP” to have won three Elections. This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS!

In a follow-up post, Trump added, “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.”

According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump wrote Epstein a letter for his 50th birthday in 2003 which included a crude drawing of a naked woman, with Trump’s signature as pubic hair, along with the message, “We have certain things in common, Jeffrey […] Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”

Trump denied having written the letter, claiming, “I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women.”
