🔖 Title: White House Removes The Wall Street Journal from Trump’s Scotland Press Pool Following Controversial Report
🗓️ Published: 2025-07-21
📄 Summary: The White House has excluded The Wall Street Journal from the press pool covering President Donald Trump’s trip to Scotland after the paper published a report claiming Trump sent Jeffrey Epstein a "bawdy" birthday letter in 2003. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described the Journal’s reporting as "fake and defamatory," leading to its removal from the 13 outlet press pool. The Journal has denied the allegations and filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against Trump and others involved. This move marks another moment in the ongoing tensions between the White House and the press, raising concerns about press independence and government retaliation against media outlets.
