Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian break down why Trump’s defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal over Jeffrey Epstein birthday card reporting is “circling the drain.” They explain how Trump can’t meet the “actual malice” standard from New York Times v. Sullivan since the Journal never definitively claimed he signed the card, only reported its existence. The hosts reveal how Trump’s case collapsed when Democrats released the actual birthday card, destroying his “it doesn’t exist” defense, while handwriting analysis shows striking similarities to other Trump signatures. Kabateck and Karnikian expose the real purpose: media intimidation to make reporters “incredibly respectful” like “Eddie Haskell” around a dictator. They highlight Trump’s laughable claim to be a “private citizen” living in Florida while residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and warn discovery would expose his full Epstein relationship.
