El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, ha presentado una demanda por difamación contra The Wall Street Journal y sus propietarios, entre ellos Rupert Murdoch, por la publicación de un reportaje bomba sobre la amistad del presidente con el infame delincuente sexual de la alta sociedad Jeffrey Epstein.

New York

Donald Trump has initiated legal action against the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch after the publication reported that Trump allegedly sent a drawing of a naked woman to Jeffrey Epstein. Trump has denied the authenticity of the illustration and criticized the coverage as politically motivated. Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced plans to seek the unsealing of grand jury testimony in the Epstein case, following previous Justice Department statements that no incriminating client list exists.

Public interest in the Epstein case remains high, with recent polling indicating that a majority of Americans believe the Trump administration is concealing details about Epstein’s clients. The issue has caused divisions among Republicans, with some of Trump's supporters demanding greater transparency. The timeline for the potential release of the grand jury testimony remains uncertain, as it is subject to court approval.

Trump demanda al Wall Street Journal y a Rupert Murdoch por la historia de Epstein

Casi dos semanas después de que el Departamento de Justicia de EE.UU. afirmara que no había ningún cliente incriminado lista en los archivos notorios Jeffrey Epstein, Fiscal General Pam Bondi ahora dice que va a para desvelar el testimonio del gran jurado en el caso de tráfico sexual. Anteriormente, Bondi dijo que la red de sexo dirigido a los niños. Sí, el FBI, está revisando, hay decenas de miles de videos de Epstein con niños o pornografía infantil, y hay cientos de víctimas. Durante semanas, el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, ha dado marcha atrás en su promesa electoral de denunciar a los implicados en el caso, calificándolo de estafa perpetuada por los demócratas. Y ciertos republicanos fueron engañados por los demócratas, y están siguiendo a un demócrata y no es diferente de Rusia, Rusia, Rusia, y todos los otros engaños. La orden de Trump de publicar ahora el testimonio del gran jurado sobre Epstein sigue a una publicación del Wall Street Journal informe de que Trump supuestamente envió un dibujo de una mujer desnuda al financiero fallecido en su 50 cumpleaños, escribiendo, que cada día sea otro secreto maravilloso. El presidente de EE.UU. califica la ilustración de falsa. La Casa Blanca también resta importancia a los archivos Epstein. El presidente ha sido transparente. Ha cumplido sus promesas al pueblo americano, pero no le gusta ver a los demócratas y a los principales medios de comunicación cubriendo esto como si fuera la mayor historia que el los americanos se preocupan. Pero una nueva encuesta muestra que al pueblo americano sí le importa, y el 69 por ciento de los encuestados cree que que la administración Trump está ocultando detalles del cliente Epstein. El asunto divide a los republicanos, pero los partidarios de Trump de Make America Great Again o MAGA están exigiendo transparencia. No defendemos la lealtad a un partido. Y por cierto, creo que el presidente Trump hizo un excelente trabajo ayudando a forjar estas fuertes valores en gente como tú y yo. Hizo un trabajo tan grande haciéndonos, ayudándonos a ser leales a la libertad y a la verdad que ahora somos mucho más leales a la libertad y a la verdad que a él. No está claro cuándo podría hacerse público el testimonio del gran jurado sobre Epstein, dado que es la aprobación de la corte, o si va a calmar la reacción de algunos de los más leales de Trump leales a Trump.
