Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Giles Snyder.
President Trump is suing media mogul Rupert Murdoch over a Wall Street Journal report that the future president sent disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein a lewd birthday card more than 20 years ago.
Trump calls the story a lie.
NPR's David Fochenflick reports.
Murdoch is also the controlling owner of Fox News and he has been one of Trump's most important political allies.
The suit also names the Journal and two of its reporters.
It follows Trump's litigation against ABC, CBS, Meta, and X,
each of which paid his future presidential library $10 million or more to settle.
The Journal reported that Trump had doodled a picture of a naked woman and offered a birthday wish,
quote, may every day be another wonderful secret.
The journal's parent company said it had, quote,
full confidence in the rigor and accuracy of our reporting.
Authorities say Epstein killed himself in jail in 2019 awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges,
a source of great speculation among many Trump supporters.
