Portada del episodio Trump Refiles the $10 Billion Epstein Lawsuit Against the Wall Street Journal (5/29/26)

Descripción

Donald Trump has refiled a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal over its reporting on his alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein, specifically an article describing a birthday card to Epstein as bearing Trump’s signature. The new filing came after a federal judge threw out Trump’s earlier complaint in April, ruling that it failed to meet the “actual malice” standard required in defamation cases involving public figures. Trump’s lawyers argue that the paper either recklessly disregarded the truth or deliberately avoided discovering it, while Trump maintains the card is fake, even after lawmakers investigating Epstein released it publicly. The lawsuit names Rupert Murdoch, Dow Jones, News Corp, CEO Robert Thomson, and two Wall Street Journal reporters as defendants, claiming the reporting caused Trump major reputational and financial harm. Dow Jones has defended the reporting and said it will fight the case. The broader significance is that the lawsuit sits inside a larger pattern of Trump using defamation actions against media organizations while the Epstein issue continues to haunt his political orbit. It also keeps the Epstein connection alive in court rather than burying it, because every filing, defense response, discovery fight, and judicial ruling has the potential to drag the underlying questions about Trump, Epstein, the card, and the paper trail back into public view. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Trump refiles $10bn lawsuit against WSJ over report on alleged Epstein ties | Donald Trump | The Guardian [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/28/trump-refiles-10bn-lawsuit-against-wsj-over-report-on-alleged-epstein-ties]

Mega Edition: Billionaire Playboy's Club...A Memoir By Virginia Roberts (Part 3) (5/31/26)

Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s unpublished memoir The Billionaire’s Playboy Club recounts her recruitment into Jeffrey Epstein’s world as a 16-year-old working at Mar-a-Lago, where she says Ghislaine Maxwell lured her in with promises of opportunity and travel. The manuscript describes how she became trapped in Epstein’s orbit, allegedly forced into sexual encounters with powerful men, including Prince Andrew, and ferried across his properties in New York, Florida, and the Virgin Islands. Giuffre paints a detailed picture of coercion, psychological manipulation, and the disturbing normalization of exploitation within Epstein’s high-society circle. In this episode, we begin our journey through that memoir.    to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Virgina Giuffre Billionaire's Playboy Club | DocumentCloud [https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/7010929-Virgina-Giuffre-Billionaire-s-Playboy-Club/]

Virginia Robert's Repsonds To Ghislaine Maxwell's "Undisputed Facts" (Part 4) (5/30/26)

In response to Ghislaine Maxwell's Rule 56.1 Statement of Undisputed Material Facts, Virginia Giuffre (formerly known as Virginia Roberts) submitted a detailed counterstatement challenging Maxwell's assertions. Giuffre disputed Maxwell's denials of involvement in Jeffrey Epstein's alleged sexual abuse and trafficking operations, providing specific instances and evidence to support her claims. She contended that Maxwell's public statements dismissing her allegations as false were themselves defamatory and aimed at discrediting her experiences as a victim. Giuffre's response emphasized the existence of genuine disputes over material facts, arguing that these issues necessitated a trial to resolve the conflicting accounts. Giuffre's counterstatement also highlighted inconsistencies and omissions in Maxwell's narrative, aiming to demonstrate that Maxwell's involvement with Epstein was more extensive than acknowledged. By presenting corroborative testimonies and documentary evidence, Giuffre sought to undermine Maxwell's credibility and reinforce the legitimacy of her own allegations to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
