A Wall Street Journal report revealed that Donald Trump allegedly sent Jeffrey Epstein a lewd birthday card in 2003, featuring a sketch of a naked woman.
Trump has vehemently denied the claim, insisting he never 'drew a picture,' despite evidence of his sketches being sold at auction. In response to the article, Trump filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch, and the White House barred the Journal from covering a presidential trip. The controversy has sparked debates about press freedom, with media organizations condemning the White House's actions as retaliatory and dangerous for free speech.
The feud has also intensified scrutiny of Trump's past relationship with Epstein and fractured his alliance with Murdoch's media empire.
