In the aftermath of the Wall Street Journal publishing what President Donald Trump has called a “fake” birthday card from him to Jeffrey Epstein, a reporter has been booted from a press pool covering Trump’s upcoming trip to Scotland.
The outlet alleged it found a 2003 letter from Trump to Epstein, which Trump denies. He has called the story “false, malicious, and defamatory.”
Tarini Parti, a White House reporter for the Wall Street Journal, was supposed to be part of the media pool covering Trump’s upcoming trip to his golf courses in Scotland.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Parti will not be allowed on the trip, according to Politico.
“As the appeals court confirmed, the Wall Street Journal or any other news outlet are not guaranteed special access to cover President Trump in the Oval Office, aboard Air Force One, and in his private workspaces,” Leavitt said in a statement.
“Due to the Wall Street Journal’s fake and defamatory conduct, they will not be one of the thirteen outlets on board. Every news organization in the entire world wishes to cover President Trump, and the White House has taken significant steps to include as many voices as possible.”
