The Journal reported that the president sent Jeffrey Epstein a birthday card in 2003 with a drawing of a naked woman.

The president sued the publication last week, accusing it of defamation for an article about his ties to the disgraced former financier Jeffrey Epstein.

A Wall Street Journal reporter was slated to be a part of the traveling press pool for President Trump's Scotland trip.

When the White House took control of the so-called “press pool” that accompanies the president, journalists worried that the Trump administration would use that power to punish news outlets.

U.S. President Donald Trump, dogged by questions about his ties to disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, arrived in Scotland on Friday for some golf and bilateral talks that could yield a trade deal with the European Union.
