Eric Trump Says He Plans to Sue Jen Psaki Over MS Now Monologue

Eric Trump said Friday he plans to sue MS Now host Jen Psaki over a monologue in which she questioned whether Trump family business interests could overlap with President Donald Trump’s official trip to China and suggested conflicts involving companies linked to the president’s sons.

Eric Trump accused Psaki of making “blatant lies” about his business involvement and his purpose for joining the president on the trip to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping. ” He specifically disputed claims that he sits on the board of financial technology company ALT5 Sigma.

Eric Trump denied participating in merger discussions or maintaining business interests in China.

The threat followed a segment on Psaki’s MS Now show in which she questioned why Eric Trump, who does not hold a government role, accompanied his father on a trip to China. She said Eric Trump was “on the board” of ALT5 Sigma and pointed to a Financial Times report that the company had signed a memorandum of understanding to explore a deal with a Chinese chip manufacturer tied to artificial intelligence infrastructure.

Psaki suggested the arrangement raised questions about whether Eric Trump could benefit from the trip. The segment also showed footage of Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. ringing the Nasdaq opening bell next to signage for ALT5 and World Liberty Financial.

Commission filings reviewed by the Washington Examiner show Eric Trump has not served as a voting member of ALT5 Sigma’s board of directors. The company’s 8K filings list Eric Trump as a board observer, a nonvoting role that allows attendance at meetings but does not confer formal director authority.
