Donald Trump sued the “Wall Street Journal”. The Epstein case continues to trigger discussions. All developments in the news blog.
US President Donald Trump continues to solve his campaign promise to drive digital currencies in the United States. He signed a law that creates the legal basis for business with so -called stable coins. This is the name of digital units that are coupled to classic currencies, for example.
The “Genius” law placed by Trump into force regulates the business with stable coins coupled to dollars. Companies that you spend must therefore maintain corresponding dollar amounts for securing in short-term US state bonds or similar financial products. This measure will consolidate the status of the US dollar as a “reserve currency in the world”, said Trump.
Attorney General Pam Bondi and the deputy Attorney General to be the attorney Todd Blanche have submitted an application for the Grand jury to be released in connection with the criminal proceedings against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell before the Federal Supreme Court in Manhattan. The application states that the Ministry of Justice would work with the US public prosecutor for the southern district of New York to “blacken all information that the victim identifies” before approval. After Trump had instructed Bondi, the step was to publish “relevant” information in connection with the statements of the Grand Jury in the Epstein case.
Donald Trump has confirmed a lawsuit against the “Wall Street Journal” and its owner on his Truth platform. The US President accuses the newspaper of publishing an “defamatory” article about him. “We have just filed a lawsuit against everyone involved who participated in the publication of the false, malicious, defamatory fake news ‘article’ in this useless ‘cheese blade’, the Wall Street Journal,” wrote Trump on his network “Truth Social”. According to a report by NBC News, Trump should claim damages of $ 10 billion (around 9.1 billion euros).
The lawsuit is not only in his own name, but also in the name “of all Americans” who would no longer tolerate such media reports, Trump explained in his post.
A complaint against the “Wall Street Journal” (WSJ), which Donald Trump is said to have been submitted to a court in Südflorida, raises questions, reports the “Business Insider”. Although there is a corresponding entry, but there is no application. From the area of Trump, it was said that although they had been preparing a lawsuit, it has not yet been completed. According to the “Business Insider”, the entry should also do without the applicant for refraining from lawyers. Since US President Donald Trump has many lawyers aside, questions about the authenticity of the input raises.
Trump had previously written “Truth Social” on his network that he wanted to complain. “I look forward to inviting Rupert Murdoch in my complaint against him and his” garbage dump “from newspaper, the Wall Street Journal, as a witness. That will be an interesting experience,” he wrote.
President Donald Trump submits a defamation against the publisher of the “Wall Street Journal” and the reporters who wrote an article about a collection of letters who were given Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003-including a note with Trump’s name and the sketch of a naked woman, report several US media.
According to the court register submitted to the Federal Court in Südflorida, Trump sued for defamation, assault attacks and the nasty speech. However, the register was not added to a copy of the lawsuit. Trump denies to have written the note.
There is an explosion on the site of the local police. The exact circumstances are still unclear. Read the whole article here.
