Eric Trump said Friday he intends to sue The Briefing anchor Jen Psaki and her network, MS NOW, over comments she made about his trip to China and his business activities.
Trump made several statements in a post on X in an attempt to clear the record following Psakis Wednesday night monologue in which she talked about his overseas trip, while citing other outlets reporting.
Contrary to her monolog [sic] and blatant lies, I have NEVER been on the board of ALT5not now, not ever. Any person with basic access to Google and willing to open a companys annual report or proxy statements would know this, the presidential son, who is an executive vice president of the Trump Organization, began.
I have had zero involvement in any merger discussions involving any public entity I do not run or control, Trump, 42, continued. I have zero business interests in China. No properties, no investments, nothing!

(181,929 posts)I really hope that Eric sued MS Now and Psaki. I saw this last night on Psaki's show and smiled.
MS NOW's Jen Psaki used her Friday night show to fact-check Eric Trump in real time after the president's son threatened to sue her and the network over coverage of his business ties during Donald Trump's state visit to China.

"Today, the adult son of the President of the United States, Eric Trump, came after us on social media and accused us of lying," the former Biden White House press secretary told viewers on "The Briefing."
The lawsuit threat stemmed from a Wednesday segment in which Psaki cited a Financial Times report that crypto-linked firm ALT5 Sigma was pursuing a deal with a Chinese chipmaker that U.S. lawmakers have warned is connected to the Chinese Communist Party. ALT5 is deeply entangled with the Trump family's World Liberty Financial crypto venture, which Eric co-founded....
Psaki then walked viewers through the paper trail: ALT5 publicly announced Eric was joining its board, SEC filings listed him as a director, and the company's own website identified him as one. In subsequent SEC filings, he was redesignated as a board "observer" a nonvoting role that allows him to attend board meetings.
"Eric, of course, says that he has no business interests in China at all," Psaki concluded, "and that he joined his dad's official trip there for one reason and one reason alone: as a loving son who adores his dad. I'll let you be the judge."
