Wall Street Journal cut from Scotland trip press team
President Donald Trump's administration has barred The Wall Street Journal from joining the press pool for his upcoming Scotland trip, citing a controversial story about an alleged birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein.The exclusion comes as a direct response to the Journal's recent publication detailing claims that Trump sent an inappropriate birthday message to the late convicted sex offender in 2003.
According to Newsmax, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that the Journal would not be among the 13 media outlets accompanying Trump to Scotland this weekend, attributing the decision to what she termed "fake and defamatory conduct" by the publication.
White House press secretary Leavitt defended the administration's position, emphasizing that no news organization is guaranteed special access to cover the president in private workspaces or aboard Air Force One. She maintained that the remaining thirteen "diverse outlets" would provide adequate coverage of the president's Scotland trip.
Trump has responded to the Journal's article with a $10 billion lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch, Dow Jones (the Journal's publisher), and the reporters involved in the story. The legal action demonstrates the president's aggressive stance against what he considers defamatory reporting.

I think we all need to do the same thing and cut all of this Legacy and cable news from our lives and not even listen to them or give them a second of our time because they all lie they're all so complicit and they do so much evil they never report everything and they always are so one-sided it's just horrible to see and I'm just so down on ABC NBC CBS PBS CNN MSNBC then like the Washington post and the New York Times and all of these media Outlets that are always full of so much hate toward President Trump and they're always bashing him never giving him credit for anything and it's always such one-sided reporting why would anyone even want to watch or listen to or read any of this news anymore it's all fake news like President Trump says it's so one-sided and so biased and so full of so much hate! Cut them out of your lives too!
That would be called an Autocracy!
@2:54? LOL. There is no law that the press can travel with the President unless he chooses who can accompany him. Why would he want fake news? This is a very smart move by Trump.
