Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose Trump’s desperate $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal after they reported his “bawdy birthday message” involving a naked woman sent to Jeffrey Epstein. They reveal the absurdity of Trump describing himself as both a “private citizen” and “the 47th President of the United States” in the same lawsuit, while suing his longtime friend Rupert Murdoch’s paper that helped make him president. The hosts break down how Trump’s case is doomed under New York Times v. Sullivan, which requires public figures to prove “actual malice”—an impossible standard when reporters only need reliable sources. They examine how Florida’s anti-SLAPP statute provides another layer of protection against this Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation designed to silence journalists. The hosts reveal Trump’s two-pronged strategy: bullying the media by barring WSJ from his Scotland trip while creating a smokescreen to distract from his failure to release the Epstein files that’s causing his MAGA base to implode. A devastating look at how Trump weaponizes frivolous litigation to silence press coverage of his most damaging scandals, proving that when constitutional rights meet authoritarian tantrums, the First Amendment still wins.
