The real story isn't the dueling letters from a bygone era. It's a sitting president filing an unprecedented libel suit against a news outlet—a move designed not to find truth, but to command it. This is about the weaponization of power, not a party.

Trump files a $10B lawsuit over a note he denies writing, while on the very same day declaring the entire Epstein affair a "hoax"—a stunning reversal of his promise to release the files. This isn't a defense of his reputation; it's an attack on the media's right to investigate it, following prior multi-million dollar settlements with ABC and CBS.

The powerful write gushing letters in private. When exposed, they use the presidency to sue the reporters into silence.
