Vice President JD Vance reportedly met with News Corp founder Rupert Murdoch just hours before the Wall Street Journal published a surprise story about the friendship between President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
Vance travelled to Montana on Tuesday to attend the meeting with Murdoch, chief of News Corp which publishes the New York Post and Wall Street Journal. Murdoch’s son, Lachlan Murdoch, was also present at the meeting, along with various other Fox News executives.
He allegedly travelled to the family’s ranch in southwest Montana near Dillon, two people familiar with the trip told the Associated Press.
The Vice President’s office did not announce the trip beforehand, hence the excursion was seen as a surprise and prompted local speculation.
Just hours after Vance met with the Murdochs and members of their team, the Wall Street Journal released a bombshell report indicating that President Trump had written a birthday letter for disgraced New York financier Jeffrey Epstein on the latter’s 50th birthday. The letter was accompanied by a drawing of a naked woman done by the 47th President.
“Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret,” the letter concludes.
President Trump then took to Truth Social to rant about the report, threatening to sue the publication as well as Murdoch.
Trump proceeded to file a $10 billion lawsuit against Murdoch and The Wall Street Journal on Friday.
“The Wall Street Journal, and Rupert Murdoch, personally, were warned directly by President Donald J. Trump that the supposed letter they printed by President Trump to Epstein was a FAKE and, if they print it, they will be sued. Mr. Murdoch stated that he would take care of it but, obviously, did not have the power to do so. The Editor of The Wall Street Journal, Emma Tucker, was told directly by Karoline Leavitt, and by President Trump, that the letter was a FAKE, but Emma Tucker didn’t want to hear that,” Trump began.
“Instead, they are going with a false, malicious, and defamatory story anyway. President Trump will be suing The Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp, and Mr. Murdoch, shortly. The Press has to learn to be truthful, and not rely on sources that probably don’t even exist. President Trump has already beaten George Stephanopoulos/ABC, 60 Minutes/CBS, and others, and looks forward to suing and holding accountable the once great Wall Street Journal,” he added.
“It has truly turned out to be a “Disgusting and Filthy Rag” and, writing defamatory lies like this, shows their desperation to remain relevant. If there were any truth at all on the Epstein Hoax, as it pertains to President Trump, this information would have been revealed by Comey, Brennan, Crooked Hillary, and other Radical Left Lunatics years ago. It certainly would not have sat in a file waiting for “TRUMP” to have won three Elections. This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS!” he concluded.
