Trump Seeks To Proceed With $10B Lawsuit Over Wall Street Journal

President Donald Trump’s legal team has requested a Florida federal judge reject a request from the Wall Street Journal to dismiss a $10 billion defamation lawsuit over the paper’s reporting on the bawdy letter allegedly penned by Trump that appeared in a birthday book for disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.ย 

In a court filing late Monday, Trump’s lawyers argued that the July article and surrounding coverage were a “deliberate smear campaign designed to damage President Trump’s reputation” and subject the president to “public hatred and ridicule.” They also requested oral arguments over the Journal’s recent motion to dismiss.

“Defendants did not publish the Article on the front page of The Wall Street Journal based on a mere harmless joke between friends,” Monday’s filing said. “Indeed, such an assertion strains credulity beyond repair. The Article, and the surrounding media around it, were all a deliberate smear campaign designed to damage President Trump’s reputation.”

Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for aiding and participating in Epstein’s trafficking of underage girls, told Justice Department officials in August that Epstein had asked her toย organize contributionsย to his 50th birthday book from friends and associates, but said she could not recall if Trump, then a private citizen, was among those who responded.

Last month, the House Oversight Committee released records from Epstein’s estate that included aย copy of a birthday bookย with the alleged letter from Trump that the newspaper had described.

Trump thenย filed a lawsuitย against the Journal in July, and has continued to assert the letter is fake and that the signature on the letter isย not his.

Acknowledging the release of the letter by the House Oversight panel, Trump’s lawyers alleged that the Wall Street Journal was still “deliberate and malicious” in its reporting by claiming that the letter was not only authored by Trump but also “on-brand” for the president.ย 

The Wall Street Journal has stood by its reporting.

“Because Plaintiff has publicly admitted that he was Epstein’s friend in the early 2000s, his reputation cannot be harmed by the suggestion that he was friends with Epstein in 2003. Indeed, he was listed in the Birthday Book as a ‘friend’ of Epstein. The fact that his relationship with Epstein may now be a political liability — over 20 years after the Birthday Book was presented to Epstein — does not change this conclusion,” the Journal contended in its request for dismissal.

While the Journal’s reporting included a denial from President Trump, his lawyers argued in Mondays filing that the publication still acted with a “reckless disregard for the truth” because the request for comment was rushed and the reporting allegedly cast doubt on the president’s claim. 

Federal Prosecutors โ€˜At Workโ€™ To Bring Charges Against John Bolton

Federal prosecutors are reportedly preparing charges against former Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton, a longtime critic of President Trump, over his handling of classified materials โ€” a move that comes after months of internal resistance from within the Justice Department.

According to CNNโ€™s Katelyn Polantz, prosecutors from the U.S. Attorneyโ€™s Office in Maryland met over the weekend to hammer out the details of a potential indictment. Citing unnamed sources, Polantz reported that the Maryland team had initially pushed back against DOJ leadershipโ€™s push to charge Bolton, but those objections have now โ€œlifted,โ€ and the team is โ€œat workโ€ on the case.

Appearing on CNNโ€™s The Situation Room with anchor Pamela Brown, Polantz explained that the disagreement was โ€œabout when to chargeโ€ Bolton โ€” suggesting that some inside the DOJ were concerned about timing rather than substance.

โ€œFrom what I had learned through sources,โ€ Polantz said, โ€œwas that the dispute was over timing โ€” whether to charge John Bolton very soon or prepare an indictment very soon to take it through the grand jury, or whether there needed to be more time since those searches of his home and office only took place a couple of weeks ago.โ€

In late August, FBI agents raided Boltonโ€™s Maryland home and private office, seizing materials reportedly marked โ€œsecret,โ€ โ€œconfidential,โ€ and โ€œclassified,โ€ including documents referencing weapons of mass destruction. Investigators also collected electronics and files labeled โ€œTrump Iโ€“IV,โ€ according to court filings.

Bolton โ€” who has been a vocal Trump critic since leaving the administration โ€” has denied any wrongdoing. His attorney, Abbe Lowell, said the items taken were โ€œdecades oldโ€ and insisted that his client โ€œdid nothing inappropriate.โ€

Sinclair Ends Jimmy Kimmel Ban

A quick turnaround…

On Friday, Sinclair Broadcast Group announced that it will end its preemption of ABCโ€™s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and the show will return on Friday.ย 

“Our objective throughout this process has been to ensure that programming remains accurate and engaging for the widest possible audience. We take seriously our responsibility as local broadcasters to provide programming that serves the interests of our communities, while also honoring our obligations to air national network programming,” Sinclair said in a statement.

“Over the last week, we have received thoughtful feedback from viewers, advertisers, and community leaders representing a wide range of perspectives. We have also witnessed troubling acts of violence, including the despicable incident of a shooting at an ABC affiliate station in Sacramento. These events underscore why responsible broadcasting matters and why respectful dialogue between differing voices remains so important,” the statement continued. “In our ongoing and constructive discussions with ABC, Sinclair proposed measures to strengthen accountability, viewer feedback, and community dialogue, including a network-wide independent ombudsman.”

Sinclair added that proposals “were suggested as collaborative efforts between the ABC affiliates and the ABC network.”

“While ABC and Disney have not yet adopted these measures, and Sinclair respects their right to make those decisions under our network affiliate agreements, we believe such measures could strengthen trust and accountability,” the company said. 

“Our decision to preempt this program was independent of any government interaction or influence. Free speech provides broadcasters with the right to exercise judgment as to the content on their local stations. While we understand that not everyone will agree with our decisions about programming, it is simply inconsistent to champion free speech while demanding that broadcasters air specific content,” Sinclair continued. “As a company rooted in local stations, Sinclair remains committed to serving our communities with programming that reflects their priorities, earns their trust, and promotes constructive dialogue. We look forward to continuing to work with ABC to deliver content that serves a broad spectrum of our communities.”

Media Personality Claims Tucker Carlson Is Frontrunner to Succeed Trump

Swisher and Galloway were discussing the decline of television in the wake of Kimmelโ€™s suspension from ABC when the conversation turned to podcasters.

โ€œI think, look, we got to just burn those ships and move on. Thatโ€™s the thing, because this is how Trump lives. He lives in the 80s in his head, so CBS, ABC, and NBC are the be-all and end-all,โ€ Swisher argued.

โ€œBut theyโ€™re not. Theyโ€™re not influential anymore. We should just move along and make our stuff. We should grow and conservative outlets should grow, whatever it happens to be. I was, although I think Tucker Carlsonโ€™s reallyโ€“ somethingโ€™s going on with him. When heโ€™s articulated, it was absolutely right,โ€ Swisher added.

โ€œWe both have our issues with Tucker. I think Tucker right now is the most likely nominee for the Republican nomination. I think he has been very good lately,โ€ Galloway replied โ€” referring to Carlsonโ€™s warning against any kind of free speech crackdown following Kirkโ€™s murder.

โ€œWell, heโ€™s consistent at least,โ€ Swisher agreed.

โ€œAbout housing, for young people, he comes across as intellectually honest. He comes across as courageous, not afraid to go against his own party. And I realize Iโ€™m talking our own book here,โ€ Galloway continued, adding:

Our downloads are up 10 percent in the last 30 days. And guess what? Everyone fromย Megyn Kellyย toย Joe Rogan, youโ€™re going to see a lot, increasingly people turn to podcasts likeย The Daily, becauseย The New York Timesย is fearless and does the work.

Youโ€™re just going to see media that is not scared ofย Brendan Carr,ย or canโ€™t be controlled byย Brendan Carr.ย Boom, because people are really interested in whatโ€™s going on, and they like fearless. You know, Iโ€™ll give you an example,ย Don Lemon.

Report: Trump FCC Chair Willing To Revoke Media Broadcast Licenses

0

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr is making waves in Washington by refusing to give corporate media a free pass. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Carr said he is prepared to hold powerful broadcasters accountable if they cross the line, even suggesting their licenses could be at risk.

โ€œBroadcast licenses are not sacred cows,โ€ Carr declared, emphasizing that media companies must serve the public interestโ€”not just their own political agenda.

Unlike past FCC chairs who often looked the other way, Carr has embraced President Trumpโ€™s call to challenge the entrenched power of legacy outlets. He noted that Trump shattered the illusion that the mainstream press acts as neutral gatekeepers of truth, exposing the bias that millions of Americans already sensed.

Taking on Comcast and NBC

Carr has already taken steps to ensure media giants like Comcast are not misleading the public. Following concerns about the companyโ€™s partisan coverage and questionable diversity policies, Carr launched two investigations into Comcastโ€™s practices.

In April, Carr accused Comcast of misleading Americans with its reporting on a high-profile deportation case. By July, he expanded the review to include whether NBC affiliates were truly serving their communities as required under federal law.

The standard Carr cites dates back to 1934, which requires broadcasters to act in the โ€œpublic interest, convenience, and necessity.โ€ While critics claim such standards are outdated, Carr argues that the law remains clear: if companies are given privileged access to Americaโ€™s airwaves, they must be held accountable to the public.

The FCC has rarely revoked a broadcast licenseโ€”most notably in 1971 when a Mississippi station defended segregationโ€”but Carr has signaled heโ€™s willing to use that authority again if necessary.

Fully Aligned With Trumpโ€™s Agenda

Carr has been at the FCC since 2017 and makes no secret that he supports the presidentโ€™s approach. โ€œWe are fully aligned with the agenda that President Trump is running,โ€ he told the Journal.

For Carr, this means standing up to the mainstream press, protecting Americans from being misled, and ensuring that media companies donโ€™t abuse their privileged position.

Critics Push Back

Of course, media lawyers and progressive watchdog groups are sounding the alarm. Robert Corn-Revere of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression complained to the Journal that Carrโ€™s actions are political. But for millions of conservatives, Carrโ€™s willingness to confront biased outlets is long overdue.

By leaning in rather than playing the old Washington โ€œindependenceโ€ game, Carr is showing heโ€™s willing to take bold steps to ensure the public gets fair and honest coverageโ€”not just the partisan spin of corporate media.

Trump Reacts After Fox News Reporter Asks About Reports He Was Dead

President Trump responded to the recent social media frenzy about his health when asked by Fox Newsโ€™s Peter Doocy about reports he had died.

Doocy asked Trump if he saw over the weekend that he was dead and replied, โ€œno.โ€

He said that he didnโ€™t see speculation swirling on social media that he was having health problems. But, while defending his activity over Labor Day weekend, he said that he had heard about chatter surrounding his health.

โ€œI have heard, itโ€™s sort of crazy. But last week I did numerous news conferences. All successful, they went very well, like this is going very well and then I didnโ€™t do any for two days and they said, โ€˜there must be something wrong with him,โ€™โ€ Trump said.

โ€œBidenย wouldnโ€™t do them for months, you wouldnโ€™t see them, and nobody ever said there was ever anything wrong with him and he wasnโ€™t in the greatest of shape,โ€ he added, as Vice President Vance and Sen.ย Katie Brittย (R-Ala.) laughed beside him.

Trump noted that he did a long interview with The Daily Caller, did โ€œnumerous showsโ€ and posted on Truth Social over the weekend.

โ€œNo, I was very active over the weekend. They also knew I went out to visit some people at the club that I own pretty nearby on the Potomac River. No, Iโ€™ve been very active, actually, over the weekend. I didnโ€™t hear that one. Thatโ€™s pretty serious stuff,โ€ Trump said.

He called it โ€œfake newsโ€ and said it points to why โ€œthe media has so little credibility.โ€

โ€œI knew they were saying like, is he okay? Howโ€™s he feeling? Whatโ€™s wrong,โ€ Trump said. โ€œNo, I was very active this Labor Day. I had heard that but I didnโ€™t hear it to that extent.โ€

The president took a week-long break from public appearances, following a marathon Cabinet meeting last Tuesday. His speech on Tuesday in the Oval Office follows sightings from press pool on Saturday, Sunday and Monday at his golf club in Sterling, Va.

The lack of interactions with the press led social media users to question if he had died or if he had physically declined, focusing on the appearance of his bruised hands. 

JD Vance Accuses Politico of โ€˜Journalistic Malpractice’

0

On Friday, Vice President JD Vance took to X to blast what he called โ€œforeign influenceโ€ in a Politico report targeting Steve Witkoff, President Trumpโ€™s special envoy for peace missions and chief negotiator on Ukraine.

โ€œThis story from Politico is journalistic malpractice,โ€ Vance wrote, tagging Politico correspondent Felicia Schwartz. โ€œBut itโ€™s more than that: itโ€™s a foreign influence operation meant to hurt the administration and one of our most effective members. Notice how all of the people attacking Steve are on background? That means itโ€™s two or three deep staters who are angry that Witkoff has succeeded where theyโ€™ve failed.โ€

Vance made clear that he sees the article as an attempt not just to smear Witkoff, but to undermine Trumpโ€™s broader foreign policy success in shifting the conversation toward peace in Ukraine.


What the Politico Story Claimed

Schwartzโ€™s piece, co-authored with Nahal Toosi and Jack Detsch, framed Witkoff as an inexperienced outsider whose โ€œgo-it-alone styleโ€ frustrates American, Ukrainian, and European officials. According to Schwartz, 13 anonymous sourcesโ€”none of whom were willing to go on the recordโ€”painted Witkoff as someone who views the Ukraine conflict โ€œthrough a real estate lensโ€ and misses diplomatic details.

Politicoโ€™s reporting emphasized that Witkoff has met with Vladimir Putin five times in six months but claimed those meetings havenโ€™t led to tangible breakthroughs. The piece also alleged Witkoff sometimes appeared โ€œuninformed or unprepared,โ€ citing unnamed U.S. and foreign officials.

One anonymous voice was quoted as saying, โ€œHis inexperience shines through, he has the presidentโ€™s ear, which is evident, but there has been some confusion about what has been said and agreed.โ€


What Politico Left Out

Vance accused Politico of cherry-picking information to fit a predetermined narrative. He said the outlet deliberately left out quotes from him, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and senior advisor Jared Kushnerโ€”each of whom had praised Witkoffโ€™s diplomatic efforts.

In fact, Vance had told Politico directly: โ€œWitkoff has made more progress towards ending the bloodshed in Ukraine than all his critics combined.โ€ That single line was briefly included, but stripped of context and buried among anonymous complaints.

According to Schwartz herself, the White House sent Politico a list of officialsโ€™ supportive quotes about Witkoff. Most were left on the cutting room floor.


The Larger Pattern: Anonymous Sources and Double Standards

The story is the latest example of the corporate media using anonymous leaks from entrenched bureaucrats to undermine Trump officials. Both Trump and Vance have criticized this practice for years, pointing out that it gives cover to partisan โ€œdeep stateโ€ operatives while denying the American people transparency.

By contrast, those willing to speak openlyโ€”Vance, Rubio, Kushnerโ€”were ignored or minimized in Politicoโ€™s coverage. The result is a slanted article that elevates anonymous gossip over the testimony of elected leaders and senior officials.


Why Witkoff Matters

Steve Witkoff, a successful real estate developer and longtime Trump ally, was tapped for a unique mission: break the stalemate on Ukraine by applying Trumpโ€™s outsider approach to diplomacy. Unlike career diplomats who have presided over endless wars and gridlock, Witkoff has leveraged direct relationships, including multiple meetings with Putin, to seek pragmatic solutions.

For Trumpโ€™s critics in the establishment, that makes him a threat. For everyday Americans who are weary of endless foreign wars, it makes him a symbol of a possible new path toward peace.


Vance: Media Trying to Derail Peace Efforts

Vance argued that the Politico piece is not just unfair journalismโ€”itโ€™s part of a deliberate effort to derail peace negotiations. โ€œThe quotes on Witkoff were meant to complicate and derail peace efforts,โ€ he said, warning that anonymous smears serve the interests of those who profit from prolonging the war.

Republicans have long argued that entrenched Washington interests, including defense contractors and globalist bureaucrats, benefit from keeping conflicts alive rather than resolving them. By attacking Witkoff, Vance suggested, the media is doing their bidding.


The Takeaway

Politicoโ€™s story highlights a familiar clash: Trumpโ€™s America First agendaโ€”focused on ending foreign wars and prioritizing U.S. interestsโ€”versus the entrenched establishment in Washington and its allies in the corporate media.

Vanceโ€™s defense of Witkoff signals that the White House isnโ€™t backing down. Despite attacks from the press and anonymous bureaucrats, Trump and his team are determined to keep pursuing peace in Ukraineโ€”an effort the mainstream media seems determined to undermine at every step

Former Bravo Star Says Trump Voters Need to be Banned from Mexican Restaurants in Profane Rant

Former Bravo reality TV star Jennifer Welch went on an expletive-filled rant demanding people who voted for Presidentย Donald Trumpย three times be banned from Mexican and Chinese restaurants on Thursday.

“Iโ€™ve had it with White people that triple Trumped that have the nerve and the audacity to walk into a Mexican restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, an Indian restaurant, go to perhaps their gay hairdresser,” Welch commented on her podcast “Iโ€™ve Had It.”

She recalled an instance of seeing “MAGA-looking people” at a Mexican restaurant and said they had “a lot of f—ing nerve” given the Trump administrationโ€™s immigration policies.

“Frankly, I donโ€™t think you should be able to enjoy anything but Cracker Barrel,” Welch said. “If you want to triple Trump, if you want to browbeat DEI, if you want to browbeat gay people, you want to browbeat Black people, as you have been doing for four hundred years. And you want to browbeat this generation of immigrants that come over here and open up business earnestly and pay their taxes.”

Welch continued by attacking Trump as a “teeny-weeny mushroom c— piece of s— Cankles McTaco Tits.”

She added, “White people that triple Trumped should be banned, boycotted from enjoying the best thing that America has to offer, which is multiculturalism. Get your fat a– out of the Mexican restaurant. Get your fat a– over toย Cracker Barrelย because nobody wants to see your f—ing smug a– teeny-weeny, pink arm, big gut around. Nobody wants to see that s—. No one.”

Her co-host Angie “Pumps” Sullivan said she “completely” agreed and went one step further by attacking female Trump voters.

“I want you to give up a credit card in your name,” Sullivan said. “I want you to give up the bank account in your name. And I want you to be completely beholden to a man. I don’t want you to work. I want you to stay home and make cornflakes from scratch for that f—er because that’s what you’re voting for.”

She continued, “When they’re talking about the golden age and ‘let’s make America great again,’ they’re talking about you having less rights than men, not be able to have a credit card, not being able to own anything in your own name. So, triple Trump country club Christian White women, you should have to forfeit those luxuries.”

In a comment to Fox News, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson attacked Welch’s comments as “out of touch with reality” based on Trump’s “historically diverse coalition.”

“Rich liberal white women love to pretend to be champions of diversity until they are confronted by diversity of thought. President Trump was elected by a historically diverse coalition of Americans from all races, religions, and orientations. As per usual this reality star is out of touch with reality,” Jackson said.

Charlamagne Reveals Who He Wants To Run In 2028

Charlamagne Tha Godย revealed his choice for president in 2028 โ€” and itโ€™s fellow political media personalityย Jon Stewart.

The Breakfast Clubย radio host recently shared his political hopes during a sit-down with Fox News hostย Lara Trump, who is also the daughter-in-law of Presidentย Donald Trump.ย She has beenย hostingย a Fox News show since late February. This interview is set to air this Saturday on Fox News at 9 p.m.

โ€œI would love to see Jon Stewart run in 2028. If weโ€™re talking about like a change agent coming from the outside thatโ€™s really going to shake things up and somebody that I feel like can speak to, you know, all people, plus we actually, heโ€™s a celebrity who actually knows what theyโ€™re talking about,โ€ he said.

โ€œWeโ€™ve seen him get legislation and stuff, you know, passed before, like, we know where his heart is, heโ€™d be somebody Iโ€™d like to see really get in the race and disrupt things in 2028. Maybe a Jon Stewart-Colbert ticket, because, you know, Colbertโ€™s not going to have a job. Heโ€™s not working because of President Trump, so they say.โ€

Stewart, whoย returnedย toย The Daily Showย in a part-time capacity a year and a half ago, has long been admired by both fans and lawmakers for his advocacy on veteransโ€™ health care andย 9/11 first responder legislation. However, Stewart has consistently expressed zero presidential ambitions.

Earlier this week, former vice president Kamala Harris further fueled 2028 White House rumors when she announced she will not run for governor of California.

โ€œIn recent months, I have given serious thought to asking the people of California for the privilege to serve as their Governor. I love this state, its people, and its promise. It is my home. But after deep reflection, Iโ€™ve decided that I will not run for Governor in this election,โ€ Harris said in a statement. 

The former vice president said she spent time reflecting over the past six months since losing in November after she took over the Democratic ticket when former President Biden dropped out of the race.

โ€œI have extraordinary admiration and respect for those who dedicate their lives to public serviceโ€”service to their communities and to our nation. At the same time, we must recognize that our politics, our government, and our institutions have too often failed the American people, culminating in this moment of crisis,โ€ Harris said. โ€œAs we look ahead, we must be willing to pursue change through new methods and fresh thinkingโ€”committed to our same values and principles, but not bound by the same playbook.โ€

Former ABC News Correspondent Admits Network Is Biased Against Trump

The truth finally comes out…

Former ABC News correspondent Terry Moran recently pulled back the curtain on his previous employer’s outright bias against Trump.

Moran, who spent nearly 28 years at ABC News, was dropped by the outlet in June after attacking Presidentย Donald Trumpย and White House aide Stephen Miller on social media. He now offers his commentaryย on Substackย and penned a look at the future of CBS News after FCC Chairmanย Brendan Carrย said incoming ownership would implement an ombudsman to “root out the bias” last week when approving a long-planned merger.ย 

“Letโ€™s talk about bias. I worked at ABC News for almost 28 years, and Iโ€™m proud to say that,” Moran wrote on his Substack on Tuesday. “But: Were we biased? Yes. Almost inadvertently, Iโ€™d say. ABC News has the same problem so many leading cultural institutions do in America: A lack of viewpoint diversity.” 

Moran explained that ABC News was run by “White men” when he joined the network, but the Disney-owned news organization made efforts to increase diversity to change the company “for the better.” 

“But there was one way ABC did not change and did not diversify. It is no secret. There are hardly any people who supported Donald Trump at ABC News,” Moran wrote. 

“And this is bound to impact coverage, not so much out of malevolent biasโ€ฆ but more out of what is a kind of deafness,” Moran continued. “The old news divisions donโ€™t hear many of the voices of the country, because those voices arenโ€™t in the newsroom. Yes, news teams go out with a microphone and a camera and accost people at Trump rallies; but to me that often comes off as weirdly anthropological and inaccurate, kind of like trying to understand nature by visiting a zoo.” 

Moran added that it might “sound strange” coming from someone who was shown the door for an anti-Trump outburst, but he played devilโ€™s advocate to Trump critics inside ABC News.

“But inside the newsroom, I had a reputation of trying to get colleagues to see the other side, to walk a mile in the shoes of MAGA, to acknowledge the democratic forces that have made Donald Trump the dominant political figure of our time,” Moran wrote. “So, yes, from my perspective, the old news networks are biased.”

Moranโ€™s firing came less than six weeks after he interviewed Trump as part of a major primetime special for ABC marking Trump’s first 100 days in office. Trump repeatedly chided Moran for his various lines of questioning. 

Moran was axed by ABC News in June, just before his contract with the network was set to expire, after he called Trump and Miller “world-class” haters. 

“The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism,” Moran began his post. “Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that’s not what’s interesting about Miller. It’s not brains. It’s bile.”

“Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He’s a world-class hater,” Moran wrote. “You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate.”

Moran’s post went on to also call Trump a “world-class hater” but added that “his hatred [is] only a means to an end, and that end [is] his own glorification. That’s his spiritual nourishment.” 

Moran has said he doesnโ€™t regret the anti-Trump post on social media.ย
