The WSJ Moves To Dismiss The Epstein Birthday Book Lawsuit Filed By Donald Trump (9/24/25)

The WSJ Moves To Dismiss The Epstein Birthday Book Lawsuit Filed By Donald Trump (9/24/25)

Donald Trump launched a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, its parent company Dow Jones, Rupert Murdoch, and other executives, accusing the outlet of falsely tying him to Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous 50th birthday book. The lawsuit claims the paper damaged Trump’s reputation by publishing a story that suggested he personally signed a crude and lewd birthday greeting in Epstein’s book back in 2003—something Trump flatly denies. Trump and his legal team argue that the WSJ deliberately pushed a false narrative for political and reputational harm, framing the report as part of a broader media effort to tarnish his image during his third run for the presidency.

In response, the WSJ filed a motion to dismiss the case outright, contending that their reporting was factually accurate and legally protected. The paper argues that the letter referenced in their article matches the document released by Congress, making their reporting “substantially true.” They also stress that even if Trump did sign a bawdy note, such conduct would not be considered legally defamatory given his public persona and long history of controversial remarks. The Journal is asking the court to dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice, which would block Trump from re-filing it, and to order him to cover their legal fees. The court has already paused discovery proceedings—including Rupert Murdoch’s scheduled deposition—until the judge rules on the dismissal, underscoring the high-stakes battle over press freedom, defamation law, and Trump’s escalating war against media outlets.

The Billionaire’s Gatekeeper: How Les Wexner Handed Jeffrey Epstein the Keys to Power (Part 3) (9/11/25)

The Billionaire’s Gatekeeper: How Les Wexner Handed Jeffrey Epstein the Keys to Power (Part 3) (9/11/25)

Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship with Les Wexner was not just financial—it was the foundation of Epstein’s rise from a mysterious money manager to a figure embedded in the world of extreme wealth and power. Wexner, the billionaire founder of L Brands and longtime CEO of Victoria’s Secret, granted Epstein unprecedented access to his fortune, his homes, and his reputation. Epstein was given power of attorney over Wexner’s finances, a level of trust so unusual it raised questions about the true nature of their bond. This arrangement allowed Epstein to control massive sums of Wexner’s wealth, acquire luxury properties, and build the image of legitimacy he later used to lure victims and cultivate influence..Yet Wexner has long insisted that he, too, was deceived by Epstein, claiming that Epstein stole money and betrayed his trust. That narrative, however, collapses under scrutiny. Maria Farmer’s testimony places abuse at Wexner’s heavily guarded Ohio estate, and Epstein’s use of Wexner’s assets—such as the Manhattan townhouse he effectively gifted him—suggests far more than a duped investor. The fact that Wexner enabled Epstein’s ascent, while escaping the same level of media and legal accountability as other Epstein associates, underscores how wealth and influence insulated him. Their relationship was not incidental; it was the keystone that transformed Epstein from a grifter into a predator with access to the corridors of power.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Mega Edition: Day Number 8 Of The Ghislaine Maxwell Trial (9/10/25)

The Ghislaine Maxwell trial, held in late 2021 in federal court in New York, centered on her alleged role as Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirator in a sex trafficking ring that preyed on underage girls for over a decade. Prosecutors accused Maxwell of grooming minors, gaining their trust, and then facilitating or participating in their abuse at the hands of Epstein between 1994 and 2004. The government’s case included testimony from four women, some of whom described in painful detail how Maxwell recruited them as teenagers under the guise of mentorship or financial assistance, only to manipulate them into sexual encounters with Epstein. Flight logs, photographs, and household staff testimony were used to place Maxwell at various Epstein properties and show her long-standing involvement in his lifestyle and operations.Maxwell’s defense team attempted to cast her as a scapegoat, arguing that she was being punished for Epstein’s crimes following his 2019 death in federal custody. They challenged the credibility of the accusers, questioned their motives, and pointed to the time gaps between the alleged crimes and the trial. Ultimately, the jury found Maxwell guilty on five of six federal charges, including sex trafficking of a minor, and not guilty on one count of enticing a minor to travel for illegal sex acts. The conviction marked a rare moment of accountability in a case that had long been plagued by cover-ups, prosecutorial failures, and elite protection. It also opened the door to further scrutiny of Epstein’s network, although many key figures remain untouched.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
