Vice President JD Vance met with Rupert Murdoch in Montana shortly before the Wall Street Journal published a story linking Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein. The report triggered Trump’s anger and a $10 billion lawsuit.

President Donald Trump sued over The Wall Street Journal's reporting that he wrote a "bawdy" birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump called the continued fixation on Epstein and his possible connections to powerful politicians a “witch hunt.” Trump also told reporters that he was not up to speed on the Department of Justice’s plans to meet with Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
