Trump Attempted to Block WSJ Story on Epstein: Analysis and Reaction
The White House attempted to block the publication of a Wall Street Journal article detailing a suggestive birthday letter allegedly written by Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. Despite threats of legal action, the Journal published the story, which included a description of the letter’s bawdy content and Trump’s denial of authorship. Following publication, Trump reaffirmed his intention to sue the Journal, NewsCorp, and Rupert Murdoch. The article’s release coincided with controversy surrounding the White House’s handling of Epstein investigation documents, leading to backlash from some of Trump’s supporters and sparking debates over transparency.
