Eric Trump Fires Back: Sues Jen Psaki and MS Now for ‘Blatant Lies’ Over Explosive China Trip Allegations
‘I did nothing wrong. I was there as a loving son, not a businessman!’ thundered Eric Trump Wednesday night, kicking off a new legal battle tearing through the left-wing media machine.
In the latest showdown between the Trump dynasty and legacy media, Eric Trump has unleashed the legal hounds on former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki and the embattled “MS Now” news network. Sparked by a fiery monologue on Psaki’s top-rated show, Trump claims he’s being smeared with false accusations about secret business dealings during President Trump’s historic visit to China. For conservatives weary of media double standards, it’s sweet music-and a test case on how far the left will go to drag the Trump name through the mud.
Psaki’s Bombshell Accusations Light a Firestorm
It started, fittingly, with a monologue meant to leave scorched earth behind. Jen Psaki, the darling of the progressive pundit class, aimed squarely at Eric Trump-alleging cozy deals, hidden motives, and the whiff of conflict where facts seem fuzzy at best.
Psaki’s claims hinged on a corporate rabbit hole: ALT5 Sigma, recently rebranded as AI Financial Corp., and rumored Chinese partnerships. Highlighting an old Financial Times report, she painted a portrait of Eric Trump pulling strings behind the scenes, supposedly leveraging his father’s status for personal business gain while in China. According to her, Eric was ‘supposed to be firewalled off from any government activities’-yet there he was, stepping off Air Force One, shoulder to shoulder with American CEOs and Chinese officials.
The broadcast sent mainstream Twitter and left-leaning “news” outlets into a frenzy. Hashtags like #EricChinaGate and #TrumpFamilyCashIn trended for hours, with liberal activists demanding another round of investigations. “Trump entitlement strikes again,” one viral post yammered. MSNBC pundits cheered. Media Matters rushed out a hit piece. Only one problem-Eric Trump says it’s complete fabrication, and this time, he’s not taking it lying down.
“Jen Psaki and MS Now are running wild with blatant lies. I am not on the board of ALT5 Sigma and have never done business in China. My trip was family, not business. Enough is enough. See you in court,” Eric Trump declared Wednesday. Read his full response here.
To the casual viewer, the story seemed tailor-made for outrage. But conservative watchdogs quickly dug deeper, finding gaping holes and agenda-driven spin in Psaki’s narrative.
Behind the Curtain: Media Manipulation and the Real FACTS About the China Trip
The piles of hype can’t hide the facts. What actually happened-and who is really telling the truth?
As Eric Trump and family disembarked Air Force One in Shanghai, they were flanked by household-name CEOs: Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Larry Fink and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang. The trip, as reported by Breitbart, was a high-level diplomatic and economic mission with plenty of cameras, no shadows, and not even a whiff of subterfuge. So where did Jen Psaki get her bombshell?
Her attack centered on Eric Trump’s alleged role at ALT5 Sigma. She cited an old leadership listing and a glitzy Nasdaq interview that suggested Eric was a board member or advisor. Yet by April 2026, according to public SEC filings and screenshots archived by MEXC News, Eric’s name was already scrubbed from the company’s website. The most concrete role he’d ever claimed: ‘board observer,’ never director, never in control or involved in deals. Even the company admits he was tapped to observe, not to steer. And as Eric pointed out, “I have had no involvement in merger discussions involving any public entity that I do not run or control. Period.”
Yet Psaki doubled down, citing a Financial Times claim that ALT5 (now renamed AI Financial) was sniffing around a deal with a shadowy Chinese chipmaker with Communist Party links. But again, no proof Eric Trump was calling any shots, signing any deals, or even present in meetings. That didn’t stop the media from stoking the flames of scandal.
“He joined the trip as a loving son, not a corporate fixer. But for the left-wing press, that’s not juicy enough,” a Trump spokesman quipped Thursday night, as conservative social feeds lit up in support.
While the left leapt at Psaki’s narrative, the facts paint a different story. Eric’s lightning-fast denials countered by old press releases and splashy parlor games. If this was proof of anything, it was that the media’s appetite for scandal always outweighs their discipline for accuracy-at least where Trumps are concerned.
The Lawsuit Loophole: How the Trump Family Is Changing the Media Fight in 2026
The left is circling the wagons-but this isn’t 2017, and Trump world is fighting back like never before.
This high-stakes lawsuit reflects a sea change. With Donald Trump back in the White House after a landslide 2024 comeback, his family isn’t resigning itself to media attacks. In fact, they’re rewriting the rules of the game. No more playing defense. No more “let it slide.” Instead, Eric is fighting back with the same combative spirit that powered the MAGA revolution into a second term.
Psaki, for her part, is digging in. She fired off her own on-air “fact check,” waving around a Nasdaq video and SEC documents. But observers point out that being a ‘board observer’ hardly constitutes the board power Psaki implied. Eric Trump’s role-if any-was minor, ceremonial, and ended months before the China trip even took place according to Forbes reporting. Still, MSNBC’s rebranded arm, MS Now, is sticking to its guns. For the hard left, smearing the Trumps is not just a pastime-it’s the main event.
But this time, everything’s different. With Trump world controlling the levers of government and a conservative Supreme Court, litigation isn’t a threat-it’s the weapon. Lawsuits once used to hinder MAGA leaders are now being turned on the ‘resistance’ media. Even liberals are nervously asking: where’s the ‘firewall’ for MSNBC?
One senior GOP strategist told RedPledgeInfo: “If fighting fake news in court is the only way to expose the lies of the corporate media, then bring it on. We’re not rolling over in 2026.”
Conservatives across the country are rallying to Eric Trump’s defiant stand, flooding social media and campaign war rooms with calls for accountability. The outcome could redefine the boundaries of America’s truth wars. And with Donald Trump making history in his second term, the left is learning the MAGA movement doesn’t just win elections-it fights for the truth, too.
November’s midterms are just around the corner. The left’s obsession with pinning phony scandals on the president’s family may blow up in their faces. One thing is certain: the Trumps are no longer the media’s punching bag-and the fight for real news just took a hard turn right.
