Important Update on the Trumps Threatening to Sue MeidasTouch

Ben Meiselas and MeidasTouch Network

I know a lot of you have been asking for an update after Eric Trump threatened to sue us.

As you’ll recall, the whole thing started because our Editor-in-Chief, Ron Filipkowski, reposted a Financial Times article and pointed out a simple fact: Eric Trump was an investor in a company tied to government-backed contracts. That’s it.

In response, Eric Trump went on a public tantrum, telling us to be “very careful” and throwing around the word “defamation.” A lot of bluster and whining in what’s clearly a poor attempt to impersonate his daddy.

We made our position crystal clear. If you want to go down that road, we will hold you accountable. And yes, I will personally take your deposition.

Here’s the reality: MeidasTouch was built by some of the best lawyers in the country. These threats don’t scare us. They motivate us. They make us work harder, grow faster, and fight stronger. We have rigorous editorial standards. We have legal discipline. And we will never, ever, be bullied or intimidated.

If you’ve been paying attention, you already know we are not messing around. Even just last week, MeidasTouch host Katie Phang took legal action against Trump tied to Epstein transparency issues. So let’s be clear: when you threaten to sue us, we’re ready to fight back.

Welcome to 2026.

This is what Democratic Party voters want to see. Unvarnished, simple and direct. Do what you say and say what you do.
And people can't just say it and then make a backroom deal a couple of days later.
Live it and don't be afraid to say it in public, to their faces.

Talk is cheap, but when it is time to swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, they just disappear.

So, Mr.Trump does your business have a contract or contracts with the Federal Government?


Eric is gonna drop this suit in a heartbeat. Or right after his attorney gives him the come to
Jesus talk about his liabilities.
