The Wall Street Journal faced a ban from covering President Donald Trump's upcoming trip to Scotland, coinciding with a story linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein. The decision to exclude Tarini Parti from the press pool was confirmed by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. This ban mirrors past actions where the White House removed news outlets, such as The Associated Press, from the White House pool based on their editorial choices. The press pool is now controlled by the White House rather than the Correspondents' Association.
Days after The Wall Street Journal dropped an exclusive story that tied President Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, the Journal has been banned from the group of pool reporters covering Trump's upcoming trip to Scotland.
Leavitt told Politico's Eli Stokols and Irie Sentner that Tarini Parti, who covers the White House for The Wall Street Journal, would be banned from Trump's upcoming trip.
Politico reported that Parti was supposed to be the print pooler for the final two days of Trump's four-day trip to his golf courses in Turnberry and Aberdeen, Scotland.
It's not much different than the White House banning The Associated Press from pools because it continued to call the body of water between Florida and Texas the 'Gulf of Mexico' instead of what Trump wants it called - the 'Gulf of America.'
