World Liberty Financial said it is suing Justin Sun for defamation, accusing the billionaire crypto entrepreneur of running a coordinated media campaign against the Trump-linked project after he filed his own lawsuit against it last month.

“Sun has launched a coordinated media smear campaign against World Liberty Financial and refused to stop even when confronted with the truth,” the project said in a statement on X. A World Liberty spokesperson confirmed the lawsuit.
