Trump vs Murdoch: White House boots WSJ reporter from Trump's Scotland trip amid Epstein allegations, $10B lawsuit
A reporter from the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) was supposed to accompany President Donald Trump to Scotland this week, but the White House pulled him from the press pool. This comes following a newspaper report that alleged Trump wrote the late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein a birthday card in 2003 that was laced with sexual innuendo. However, the President has strongly rejected the allegations. Trump on Friday sued WSJ, several of its owners, and a number of journalists, requesting $10 billion in damages over Epstein coverage.(YouTube/Mr. Newberger's AI Funnies) Trump on Friday sued the newspaper, several of its owners, and a number of journalists, requesting $10 billion in damages. Who is WSJ reporter Tarini Parti? WSJ's White House reporter Tarini Parti was slated to join the pool during the last two days of Trump's four-day golf trip in Turnberry and Aberdeen, Scotland. '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,' Trump's Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated in a statement to Politico. '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,' she added.

One of the messages featured Trump's name signed inside the outline of a naked woman illustration. Next day, Trump sued the publication, saying it slandered him 'because no authentic letter or drawing exists.' 'The Wall Street Journal, and Rupert Murdoch, personally, were warned directly by President Donald J. Trump that the supposed letter they printed by President Trump to Epstein was a FAKE and, if they print it, they will be sued. Mr. Murdoch stated that he would take care of it but, obviously, did not have the power to do so,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. On the other hand, a representative for Dow Jones (WSJ's publisher) stated they have 'full confidence in the rigor and accuracy of our reporting, and will vigorously defend against any lawsuit.' This comes after his administration banned Associated Press reporters and photographers after the newswire service declared it would no longer refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the 'Gulf of America.'

Democrats, Obama aides, and George Clooney: Hunter Biden's profanity-laced interview on father's career
Hunter Biden, recently pardoned by his father, former President Joe Biden, for criminal charges in California and Delaware, has unleashed a scathing attack on prominent Democrats and media figures, blaming them for his father's 2024 election loss. In two fiery podcast appearances, Biden took aim at party insiders, accusing them of disloyalty and undermining his father's presidency. Over the course of more than four hours across both shows, Biden delivered a profane and deeply personal reckoning with the Democratic Party, accusing a long list of prominent liberals, including campaign veterans, media personalities, and Hollywood figures, of betraying his father and, in doing so, helping elect Donald Trump. On the debut episode of At Our Table with Jaime Harrison, hosted by the former Democratic National Committee chairman, Biden argued that Democrats' failure to stand by his father cost them the election. On Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan, a popular YouTube show known for its unfiltered interviews, Biden went further. He called out senior Biden aide Anita Dunn, claiming she 'made $40 to $50 million' from the Democratic Party. He dismissed Democratic strategists David Axelrod and James Carville, saying Axelrod's only success was 'because of Barack Obama' and Carville 'hasn't run a race in 40 years.' He also slammed the former Obama aides behind Crooked Media's Pod Save America as 'four white millionaires' profiting off their past association with Obama. Even actor George Clooney, who publicly criticised Biden's campaign, was reduced to 'a brand' that didn't resonate with middle America. Journalist Jake Tapper was perhaps his most bitter target ''What influence does Jake Tapper have over anything? He has the smallest audience on cable news,' Biden said. In one breathless minute, he used variations of the f-word 13 times. Most of those he criticised declined to engage. 'Never have the words 'no comment' been more appropriate,' Axelrod said. Biden also offered his version of what went wrong in the final stretch of the campaign, saying his father had been given the sleep aide Ambien before his disastrous debate performance in an attempt to help him sleep after a gruelling travel schedule. 'He's 81 years old, he's tired,' Hunter said. 'They give him Ambien to be able to sleep and he gets up on the stage and he looks like he's a deer in the headlights.' Hunter also denied longstanding right-wing allegations that he had brought cocaine into the White House in 2023, a claim revived earlier this year when the FBI reopened an investigation. 'I have been clean and sober since June of 2019. I have not touched a drop of alcohol or a drug, and I'm incredibly proud of that,' he said. 'Why would I bring cocaine into the White House and stick it into a cubby outside of the situation room in the West Wing?' President Trump had publicly speculated the cocaine could belong to 'either Joe or Hunter,' though offered no proof. Biden's public reemergence follows a year of personal and political crisis. He was convicted on three felony charges related to a 2018 gun purchase, and his father's pardon—issued just weeks before leaving office—triggered an outcry from Republicans and muted discomfort from some Democrats. While the White House maintained the pardon was a private family decision, critics pointed to it as an example of elite impunity. But Hunter Biden, in these interviews, showed no sign of retreat. If anything, he seemed emboldened—less the president's troubled son and more a man with a hit list, an unrepentant voice in a party he believes lost its way.
