Trump lawsuit against Murdoch and 'Wall Street Journal' turns personal

President Trump's defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal and its powerful owner has taken a personal turn.

In the legal filings — and on social media — Trump says he personally told media mogul Rupert Murdoch that the racy birthday greeting he had supposedly sent two decades earlier to the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein had been faked and did not exist. Murdoch's Journal reported it anyway, despite Trump's warning.
