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 'wrote a picture,' despite evidence of his past sketches sold at auction. In response to the article, Trump filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch, escalating tensions between the former president and major media outlets. The White House retaliated by excluding the Journal from press coverage of Trump’s Scotland trip, raising concerns about press freedom and potential chilling effects on journalism.
The controversy has reignited scrutiny of Trump’s relationship with Epstein and fractured his alliance with Murdoch, while energizing his political base.
