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.

The White House said it would remove the Wall Street Journal from the small group of reporters traveling with the president on his upcoming trip to Scotland after the newspaper published a story alleging Donald Trump once sent a suggestive birthday letter to the late, disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
