President Trump is seeking at least $10 billion in damages in a defamation lawsuit filed against the media tycoon Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal.

美國總統特朗普在對媒體大亨魯珀特-默多克和《華爾街日報》提起的誹謗訴訟中要求至少 100 億美元的賠償。

It comes after the paper reported on a 50th birthday note Mr. Trump allegedly wrote to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2003, featuring a sketch of a naked woman.

此前，該報報道了特朗普先生據稱在 2003 年寫給已故性犯罪者傑弗裡-愛潑斯坦（Jeffrey Epstein）的一張 50 歲生日便條，上面有一張裸體女人的素描。

關係子句

In a post on his Truth Social platform, he says, we've just filed a powerhouse lawsuit against everyone involved in publishing the false malicious defamatory fake news article in the useless rag that is the Wall Street Journal.

他在自己的 "真相社交 "平臺上發帖說："我們剛剛對參與在《華爾街日報》這塊無用的破布上發表虛假惡意誹謗假新聞文章的所有人提起了強有力的訴訟。

Dow Jones, which owns the Wall Street Journal, says it will vigorously defend itself against the Trump lawsuit.

擁有《華爾街日報》的道瓊斯公司表示，將針對特朗普的訴訟進行積極辯護。

Meanwhile, the US Attorney General, Pam Bondi, has asked a court to unseal grand jury transcripts from the original case against Mr. Epstein, six years after he died by suicide in jail, where he was awaiting trial for sex offenses.

與此同時，美國司法部長帕姆-邦迪（Pam Bondi）已要求法院解封大陪審團對愛潑斯坦先生最初案件的記錄，六年前，愛潑斯坦先生因性犯罪在獄中等待審判時自殺身亡。

Mr. Trump has faced mounting pressure from many of his own core supporters to share the information after he promised to release files relating to Mr. Epstein during his presidential campaign.

特朗普先生在競選總統期間曾承諾公開與愛潑斯坦先生有關的文件，而現在他面臨著來自許多核心支持者的越來越大的壓力，要求他分享這些資訊。

Our North America editor, Sarah Smith, has the report.

本臺北美編輯莎拉-史密斯為您報道。

Try as he might, Donald Trump cannot ignore the Epstein scandal.

無論唐納德-特朗普如何努力，他都無法忽視愛潑斯坦的醜聞。

The questions about his relationship with the sex offender and what information the government holds about him just keep coming.

關於他與性犯罪者的關係以及政府掌握的他的資訊的問題不斷湧現。

Mr. President, did you get Bondi released from the files?

總統先生，您讓邦迪從檔案中被釋放了嗎？

It's no secret that Donald Trump knew and partied with Jeffrey Epstein.

唐納德-特朗普認識傑弗裡-愛潑斯坦並與之狂歡已不是什麼祕密。

He'd rather forget about this, of course, and so is furious that details of a lewd lawsuit and a letter, including a drawing of a naked woman he apparently sent to Epstein, have been published.

當然，他更願意忘記這件事，是以，他非常憤怒，因為他的淫穢訴訟細節和一封信，包括他顯然寄給愛潑斯坦的一幅裸體女人的畫，都被公佈了出來。

He posted on social media, the Wall Street Journal printed a fake letter supposedly to Epstein.

他在社交媒體上發帖，《華爾街日報》刊登了一封假信，據說是寫給愛潑斯坦的。

These are not my words, not the way I talk.

這些話不是我說的，也不是我說話的方式。

Make some noise if you care about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

如果您關心傑弗裡-愛潑斯坦的醜聞，就請發出聲音。

Unusually, Donald Trump is being attacked by some of his most ardent supporters, angry that he's not published government documents, including the names of Epstein's clients.

不同尋常的是，唐納德-特朗普正在受到他的一些最狂熱支持者的攻擊，他們對他沒有公佈政府文件（包括愛潑斯坦客戶的姓名）感到憤怒。

Six months ago, the attorney general said she was preparing to publish Epstein's so-called client list.

六個月前，總檢察長說她正準備公佈愛潑斯坦所謂的客戶名單。

It's sitting on my desk right now to review.

它現在就放在我的桌子上，等著我審閱。

That's been a directive by President Trump.

After falling out with Donald Trump, Elon Musk posted on X in June that Trump is in the Epstein files.

在與唐納德-特朗普鬧翻後，埃隆-馬斯克於 6 月在 X 上發佈消息稱，特朗普已被列入愛潑斯坦檔案。

The White House rubbished the post, which Musk later deleted.

白宮駁斥了這一帖子，馬斯克隨後刪除了該帖子。

Last week, the Department of Justice concluded Epstein did not have a client list that could implicate high-profile people and that he did take his own life, contradicting long-held right-wing beliefs.

上週，美國司法部得出結論，愛潑斯坦並沒有一份可能牽涉到知名人士的客戶名單，而且他確實是自殺的，這與右翼長期以來的觀點相悖。

Earlier this week, President Trump declared the whole Epstein conspiracy theory was just a hoax.

本週早些時候，特朗普總統宣佈整個愛潑斯坦陰謀論只是一個騙局。

Die-hard Trump fans are demonstrating their fury, feeling they've been deceived and demanding the Epstein files be published.

特朗普的鐵桿粉絲們表現出了憤怒，他們認為自己被欺騙了，要求公佈愛潑斯坦的檔案。

Right-wing podcasters, complete with tin hats, will not let this go.

戴著錫帽的右翼播客不會就此罷休。

Obviously, the Trump administration is trying to cover up.

顯然，特朗普政府正在試圖掩蓋事實。

Something changed because they ran on this idea of exposing it all.

因為他們的競選理念是揭露一切，所以發生了一些變化。

Mr. Trump's Attorney General, Pam Bondi, is in the firing line over this.

特朗普先生的司法部長帕姆-邦迪（Pam Bondi）正為此備受指責。

I mean, I can't believe you're asking a question on Epstein.

我是說 我不敢相信你會問關於愛潑斯坦的問題

And now, to try to satisfy his angry base, he's ordered her to try and get at least some of the evidence the prosecution gathered against Jeffrey Epstein and make it public.

而現在，為了滿足他憤怒的支持者，他命令她設法獲得至少一些檢方收集到的針對傑弗裡-愛潑斯坦的證據，並將其公之於眾。

Well, we're going to stay with the story and speak to Dr. Richard Johnson, the Senior Lecturer in US Politics and Policy at Queen Mary University here in London.

我們將繼續追蹤報道，並採訪倫敦瑪麗皇后大學美國政治與政策高級講師理查德-約翰遜博士。

I wonder, first off, what do you make of this lawsuit, President Trump himself describing it as historic?

我想知道，首先，特朗普總統本人將其描述為歷史性的訴訟，您對此有何看法？

Well, it's very much Donald Trump's style.

Throughout his entire business and political career, when he finds himself in some trouble, he launches a lawsuit.

在他的整個商業和政治生涯中，當他發現自己遇到一些麻煩時，他就會發起訴訟。

In terms of the politics of this, I mean, what Donald Trump, I suppose, needs to do for his own political sake on this is to send the message to his supporters that this is some kind of conspiracy against him, some kind of attack against him.

從政治角度來看，我認為唐納德-特朗普（Donald Trump）為了自己的政治利益，需要做的就是向他的支持者傳達這樣的資訊：這是針對他的某種陰謀，是對他的某種攻擊。

Because at the moment, it's an unusual issue where you see very high levels of support among both Democrats and Republicans for releasing all the files.

因為目前，這是一個不尋常的問題，在這個問題上，你會看到民主黨人和共和黨人都非常支持公開所有文件。

About 85% of Democrats and 75% of Republicans want all the files released.

大約 85% 的民主黨人和 75% 的共和黨人希望公佈所有文件。

So Trump needs to, in effect, polarise the issue and to say, don't fall for this, it's the Democrats who are attacking me, it's the Republicans who have never come on board with MAGA, et cetera.

是以，特朗普實際上需要將問題兩極分化，並說：別上當，是民主黨在攻擊我，是共和黨從未加入MAGA，等等。

And I think that's sort of also what he's trying to do here with this lawsuit.

我認為這也是他此次訴訟的目的所在。

Because if, once those files are released and there is damaging material in there, how can his team fight that?

因為如果一旦這些文件被公開，而其中又有損害性材料，他的團隊又該如何抗爭呢？

Well, in a sense, Trump is currently reaping what he sowed to an extent.

從某種意義上說，特朗普目前在某種程度上是種瓜得瓜，種豆得豆。

I mean, his entree into the presidency was partly as a result of Trump fueling conspiracy theories about Barack Obama's place of birth or what was on Hillary Clinton's computer servers.

我的意思是，特朗普之所以能登上總統寶座，部分原因是他助長了關於奧巴馬出生地或希拉里-克林頓電腦服務器內容的陰謀論。

And all throughout the Biden presidency, Donald Trump's outriders were suggesting that Biden was covering up something from the Epstein files.

在拜登擔任總統期間，唐納德-特朗普的助手們一直在暗示拜登在掩蓋愛潑斯坦檔案中的某些內容。

And Trump has now appointed many of these people into senior positions in his administration, including the FBI director.

現在，特朗普已經任命了許多這樣的人在他的政府中擔任高級職務，包括聯邦調查局局長。

Once they came in, clearly there has been something that's caused them to reassess the wisdom of releasing it.

他們進來後，顯然有一些事情讓他們重新評估了釋放它的明智性。

For example, some of these are sealed by the courts and you don't want to release files that may endanger innocent people, both people who gave testimony, but also maybe people who have been accused, but are innocent.

例如，有些檔案是法院封存的，你不想公開可能會危及無辜者的檔案，包括提供證詞的人，也可能是被指控但無辜的人。

A less good reason for this is to protect Donald Trump.

一個不太充分的理由是為了保護唐納德-特朗普。

Is he doing this to protect himself or are there other legal reasons why the administration is not moving on this?

他這樣做是為了保護自己，還是有其他法律原因導致政府在這一問題上停滯不前？

Dr. Johnson, I appreciate you're not a lawyer.

However, defamation lawsuits in the US and here in the UK, certainly are very, they have a very high bar that has been set.

然而，在美國和英國，誹謗訴訟的門檻非常高。

I mean, what will need to be proven in order for the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch and the parent company to win this case?

我的意思是，《華爾街日報》和魯伯特-默多克以及母公司需要證明什麼才能贏得這場官司？

You know, I think the issue is not so much what it'll take to win the case.

你知道，我認為問題並不在於如何才能打贏官司。

It's actually about trying to muddy the waters for the Wall Street Journal and for other outlets.

實際上，這是在試圖為《華爾街日報》和其他媒體混淆視聽。

In a sense, I'm not sure Trump's expecting this to go to some kind of trial.

從某種意義上說，我不確定特朗普是否希望此事進入某種審判階段。

I think he's looking for some kind of settlement, some kind of agreement, some kind of arrangement where either the Wall Street Journal retracts what they've said or they qualify it.

我認為他在尋求某種和解，某種協議，某種安排，要麼《華爾街日報》收回他們所說的話，要麼他們對其進行修飾。

Or even if it just carries on and on as these trials do for months and indeed years, it's sufficiently off-putting for other outlets who don't want to face the potential of either high levels of legal jeopardy or also just the time and resources that it will take to fight the case.

或者，即使像這些審判那樣持續數月甚至數年，也足以讓其他不想面臨高額法律風險，或者只是不想耗費時間和資源來打官司的媒體望而卻步。

And that, again, has been very much Donald Trump style all throughout his adult life.

這也是唐納德-特朗普成年後的一貫風格。

Dr. Richard Johnson, thank you very much indeed.

理查德-約翰遜博士，真的非常感謝你。
