A Wall Street Journal report revealed that Donald Trump allegedly sent Jeffrey Epstein a lewd birthday card in 2003, sparking a fierce backlash from Trump and his allies.
Trump has denied the claim, filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Journal and Rupert Murdoch, and retaliated by banning the paper from covering his Scotland trip. The controversy has reignited scrutiny of Trump’s past relationship with Epstein and raised serious concerns about press freedom, as media organizations and watchdogs condemn the White House’s actions as retribution. The dispute has also strained Trump’s longstanding alliance with Murdoch’s media empire, including Fox News.
Meanwhile, Trump’s supporters have rallied around him, framing the episode as a politically motivated attack.
