A major controversy has erupted after The Wall Street Journal reported that Donald Trump sent a sexually suggestive birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003, allegedly including a drawing of a naked woman.
In response, Trump has filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Journal, its parent company News Corp, and Rupert Murdoch, claiming the story is false and damaging. The White House escalated the feud by banning WSJ reporters from covering Trump’s Scotland trip, drawing widespread condemnation from media organizations and free speech advocates. The dispute has strained Trump’s longstanding alliance with Murdoch and Fox News, while also rallying Trump’s supporters to his defense.
The legal battle is expected to raise further questions about Trump’s relationship with Epstein and the limits of press freedom.
