Eric Trump Fires Back at Liberal Media Attacks, Announces Lawsuit Against Jen Psaki and MS NOW

In yet another escalating battle between the Trump family and the corporate media establishment, Eric Trump announced Friday that he plans to sue MS NOW and former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki after comments made during her primetime program questioning his presence alongside President Donald Trump during the historic Beijing summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

The controversy erupted after Psaki claimed on her show The Briefing that Eric Trump’s trip to China raised “conflict of interest” concerns because of his previous connection to ALT5 Sigma, a fintech company reportedly exploring partnerships connected to artificial intelligence infrastructure and Chinese chip manufacturing. Psaki referenced reporting from the Financial Times and alleged that Eric Trump was tied to the company while accompanying his father during sensitive diplomatic meetings.

Eric Trump responded forcefully, calling the accusations “blatant lies” and denying he was ever a board member of ALT5 Sigma. According to reports reviewed by conservative outlets, company filings described him as a “board observer,” not an official board director. Trump also stated he has “zero business interests in China” and insisted he traveled only to support his father during what many conservatives viewed as a major diplomatic victory for the United States.

Conservative media quickly rallied behind Eric Trump, accusing left-wing television networks of attempting to manufacture scandal narratives around the Trump family while ignoring conflicts surrounding Democrat politicians and Biden-era business dealings. Fox News reported that Psaki openly questioned whether Eric Trump was receiving “more than quality time with his dad” during the China trip, despite White House statements clarifying he held no government role and attended in a personal capacity.

The legal threat comes as tensions between the Trump administration and liberal media outlets continue to intensify during President Trump’s second term. Critics on the right argue that networks such as MS NOW have become activist organizations rather than objective news outlets, using anti-Trump narratives to undermine the administration’s foreign policy successes and economic agenda. Conservatives also pointed to Psaki’s former role inside the Biden White House, arguing her coverage reflects partisan hostility rather than journalism.

Meanwhile, Psaki defended her reporting Friday night and attempted to push back against Eric Trump’s accusations by highlighting public appearances and previous references connecting him to ALT5 Sigma.

Still, for many Trump supporters, the broader issue remains clear: the mainstream media continues to target the Trump family with relentless accusations whenever President Trump gains momentum on the world stage.

President Trump’s Beijing visit drew international attention after China rolled out an elaborate state welcome ceremony rarely seen for foreign leaders. Supporters hailed the summit as proof that Trump’s leadership commands respect globally and restores American strength abroad.

Whether the lawsuit proceeds or not, the dispute signals another major showdown between the Trump movement and the legacy media establishment heading deeper into the 2026 political season.
