Trump filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over a story linking him to Jeffrey Epstein. The lawsuit arose from an article mentioning a suggestive letter associated with Trump in a 2003 album for Epstein. Following this, The White House banned a Journal reporter from covering Trump's trip to Scotland, attributing their exclusion to the newspaper's perceived defamatory conduct. This behavior underscores a consistent pattern of Trump targeting media he finds unfavorable, including previous legal actions against other news organizations for similar reasons.
