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. He wrote:

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.


In the clip, Psaki referred to Trump as a board member of the company ALT5 Sigma, showing footage of him ringing the opening bell at the NASDAQ with the company logo below him and behind him.

Biden was accompanied by Hunter, whining and moaning about it.

Daddy doesn't love you, Eric.

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.

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."
