BREAKING: And NOW Trump has filed a ‘powerhouse’ lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch and WSJ

 
 
PREVIOUS WRITE-UP

It’s being reported now that President Trump has not actually filed a lawsuit against Rupert Murdock and the WSJ authors, as was previously reported today.

According to Business Insider, the “legal complaint is still in the works” but has not yet been completed.

Here’s more:

A mysterious court docket appears to show that President Donald Trump filed a libel lawsuit Friday against News Corp. and its chairman emeritus, Rupert Murdoch.

But there are signs that something is weird.

The docket, which appears in federal court in the Southern District of Florida, did not include an actual lawsuit an hour after it first appeared.

Trump on Thursday threatened to sue over a Wall Street Journal story that reported that the president had written a “bawdy” letter to Jeffrey Epstein on the convicted sex offender’s 50th birthday.

But a person close to Trump’s legal team told Business Insider that the president has not yet filed his lawsuit over The Wall Street Journal report, and that his legal complaint is still in the works.

The Miami court docket features odd details. It says that Trump is a “pro se” plaintiff — meaning someone who is not being represented by a lawyer — even though Trump has many personal lawyers, and he has filed many lawsuits against media organizations in the same district.

The docket also appears to show the personal addresses for Murdoch and for one of the journalists who wrote the story, who are designated as defendants.

The clerk’s office in the Southern District of Florida federal court did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
