The libel suit, which seeks at least $10 billion in damages, was filed the same day the Justice Department asked a judge to unseal grand jury transcripts tied to Jeffrey Epstein's case.

The lawsuit comes a day after the newspaper published a story reporting on President Trump's ties to wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein. The president is seeking at least $10 billion in damages.

President Trump is upset over a story on his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein reported by the Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal.
