Trump threatens to sue WSJ over story on alleged 2003 letter to Epstein
11 Sept 05:15Key points summarised by AI
President Trump announced plans to sue The Wall Street Journal for publishing a story about an alleged "off-color" letter he supposedly wrote to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003.
The Journal reported the letter, part of a birthday collection for Epstein, included a drawing of a naked woman with Trump's signature placed provocatively.
Trump vehemently denies writing the letter or drawing the figure, labeling it a "FAKE" and accusing the WSJ of publishing a "false, malicious, and defamatory story."
This legal threat emerges amid ongoing scrutiny of Trump's past relationship with Epstein and follows recent DOJ/FBI statements debunking conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein's death and client lists.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Yesterday 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
