So, just on the legal threats that we've heard against the Wall Street Journal as well,
00:04
could this actually backfire?
00:06
Could it bring more attention, do you think, to the Epstein case
00:08
and actually have the opposite effect compared to what Trump would like to see happen?
00:12
Well, there is certainly that possibility.
00:14
Donald Trump has posted on social media that he is looking forward to public testimony
00:19
if all of this goes to court.
00:22
But that in itself could potentially be damaging for the president
00:26
because the Wall Street Journal would be hauled up in front of a judge
00:29
in front of a court, all of it on the public record,
00:33
having to explain details of this story that they published,
00:37
details of how they got that information, how they were able to find out
00:41
and what they saw when they reviewed that book related to Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday.
00:48
They would have to talk more about this alleged letter
00:51
that Donald Trump may or may not have written.
00:54
So there is that potential that this could boomerang back on the president
00:58
because he is the one that's pushing to sue the Wall Street Journal.
01:01
But the Wall Street Journal might have more information
01:03
that they could potentially release as a result of that lawsuit.
