Trump's Clash with The Wall Street Journal: A New Battlefront

President Donald Trump escalated his feud with The Wall Street Journal, filing a $10 billion defamation lawsuit over a story linked to Jeffrey Epstein, which he vehemently denies.

In a swift move, the White House barred a Journal reporter from Air Force One for Trump's upcoming trip to Scotland, intensifying an already fraught relationship with the media.

This is part of a broader pattern, as Trump frequently clashes with press outlets he finds unfavorable, leveraging lawsuits and restricted access as tools of intimidation.
