Eric Trump Accuses Jen Psaki of 'Blatant Lies' as He Announces Plan to Sue Her and MS NOW

Eric Trump said on Friday that he plans on suing MS NOW and one of its hosts, Jen Psaki, accusing them of pushing “blatant lies.”

“I intend to sue [Jen Psaki] and [MS NOW] over the below clip,” Trump posted to X.

The son of President Donald Trump was responding to a clip of Psaki from her show The Briefing, where she discussed Eric Trump joining his father on his trip to Beijing this week.

Trump wrote that he had nothing to do with any official talks taking place during the trip.

To be clear:

Contrary to her monolog [sic] and blatant lies, I have NEVER been on the board of ALT5 — not now, not ever. Any person with basic access to Google and willing to open a company’s annual report or proxy statements would know this.

I have had zero involvement in any merger discussions involving any public entity I do not run or control.

I have zero business interests in China. No properties, no investments, nothing!

I joined this trip for one reason: as a loving son who adores my father and wouldn’t miss being by his side for this incredible moment. During the bilateral talks [Lara Trump] and I went to the Great Wall of China.

There is no doubt Eric and Lara's economic records will show similar activity. There is no way he should sue. Discovery would be awful for him. This is a case where playing victimhood is worthless. He's making billions, literally.
