For a successful suit, since he is a public figure, he would have to prove that the letter was demonstrably false and that either they knew it was false or they acted with willful disregard to the truth despite serious substantial doubts about its validity (his trying to threaten them into not publishing it doesn’t qualify). If this letter in question was in an album among many others gathered more than two decade ago, was in Epstein’s possession for all of those years until investogators found it and took it into evidence in 2019, has Trump’s signature on it, etc… well, good luck proving it is fake, let alone that they should have known it was. Cuz it’s clearly real, and they have the receipts.
