A major controversy has erupted after The Wall Street Journal reported that Donald Trump sent Jeffrey Epstein a lewd birthday card in 2003, featuring a sketch of a naked woman.
Trump has vehemently denied the report, claiming the letter is fake and insisting he 'doesn't draw pictures,' despite evidence of his sketches selling at auction. In response, Trump has filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Journal and Rupert Murdoch, escalating tensions between the former president and the media mogul. The White House further fueled the dispute by excluding the Journal from press coverage of Trump’s Scotland trip, drawing criticism from press freedom advocates.
The episode has deepened divisions, with Trump’s supporters rallying behind him and raising concerns about the chilling effect on free speech and press freedom.
