as posted by the channelSuing the Wall Street Journal? Trump Opens a Legal Door He’ll Regret. He Just Made His Epstein Problem Worse
Hawk discusses Donald Trump's decision to sue the Wall Street Journal over a report detailing a birthday card he allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. Hawk focuses on why this lawsuit could be a massive misstep, especially considering the Wall Street Journal’s conservative leanings and its ownership by longtime Trump ally Rupert Murdoch.
Rather than pushing the story out of the news cycle, Hawk explains how Trump’s legal action ensures it stays in the headlines. By filing a defamation suit, Trump opens the door for the Journal’s lawyers to begin a full legal discovery process into his long-documented relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. That means depositions, questions under oath, and access to evidence about Trump’s time spent with Epstein—including visits, calls, and shared events at places like Mar-a-Lago and Epstein’s Manhattan and Florida properties.
Hawk raises critical questions: Could Trump have been recorded while at Epstein’s homes? What might come to light in the discovery process? The legal risks seem far greater than the reputational gain. This lawsuit might be less about clearing Trump’s name and more about keeping the wrong headlines alive at the worst possible time.
Stay tuned as Hawk unpacks why this move is, in his words, “phenomenally dumb”—and what it could mean for Trump’s legal and political future.
