Trump threatens legal action against Murdoch over Wall Street Journal’s report linking him to Epstein’s birthday letter
– Trump plans to sue Murdoch and News Corp over a false report regarding a letter to Epstein.
– He requests Bondi to release grand jury testimony, but some supporters have mixed reactions.
US President Donald Trump has announced plans to sue Rupert Murdoch and News Corp following a report from The Wall Street Journal. This report alleges Trump wrote a sexually suggestive letter to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003.In a post on Truth Social, Trump rejected the claims, labelling the letter “FAKE” and criticising the newspaper’s coverage. He stated that he had previously alerted Murdoch to the letter’s inauthenticity, but the publication proceeded with the story.
Trump further requested Attorney-General Pam Bondi to release any relevant grand jury testimony concerning Epstein, a move that some believe does not meet the expectations of his supporters. Bondi confirmed that the Justice Department is prepared to seek the unsealing of these documents.
Client List
Trump’s commentary on the Epstein allegations highlights a growing division within his supporters regarding Epstein’s supposed client list. Despite claims by many, the FBI has stated it will not release additional documents related to Epstein’s case.
Trump has previously downplayed concerns about the allegations, attributing them to partisan attacks by “Radical Left Democrats.”

UK, Canada, Australia discuss banning Elon Musk’s X over AI tool Grok’s potential for misuse; regulatory action may follow.
Downing Street has opened talks with Canada and Australia about a possible ban on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X. Concerns are growing over the platform’s AI tool, Grok, which could be misused to generate explicit images.
The scrutiny comes as government officials, including Sir Keir Starmer, voice serious worries about the platform’s impact and the potential for harm. Officials believe coordinated international action could send a clear message to Musk about the urgency of addressing these risks.
Ofcom is expected to release recommendations soon, potentially paving the way for regulatory action. How Musk responds could determine whether X faces restrictions in multiple countries.

– Trump supports Iranian protesters and promotes their quest for freedom amid government crackdowns.
– Iran reports arrests and increased military threats against protesters, with international demonstrations in solidarity emerging.
The Iranian military has intensified threats against protesters, warning that anyone participating could be deemed “enemies of God”, carrying a potential death sentence. There have been claims of “terrorist agents” linked to the US and Israel stirring unrest.
Protester Responses
International protests have also emerged in solidarity with Iranian demonstrators.
In London, an individual was seen tearing down the Iranian flag from the embassy, drawing attention to the global dissent. Iranian state media has accused “rioters” of violence and targeting military bases, amidst a climate of increased government scrutiny and restrictions.

The Iranian government’s response highlights the volatility of the political situation, and the growing international pressure on Tehran.
