White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, announced that the D DOnald Trump revoked the Press credential of the renowned American newspaper The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) To cover the president’s next trip to Scotland. “As the Court of Appeals confirmed, neither the Wall Street Journal nor any other means of communication are guaranteed special access to cover President Trump in the Oval office, aboard the Air Force One nor in their private work spaces,” said the official.
The measure was justified by the Press Secretary said that the exclusion responds to the “false and defamatory behavior” of the newspaper.
The conflict initiated following the letters was scored by Trump, who immediately dismissed the publication of the medium, describing it as a “false news”In that sense, denied any link with Epstein And, in parallel, He began legal actions against Rupert Murdoch, News Corp, Dow Jones and two journalists from the newspaper.
Although the declassification of Epstein’s archives was one of Trump’s promises in the campaign, since his arrival at the White House the position of the Republican leader became more reserved something that earned him criticism, even among their own followers. Some supporters expressed their outrage on social networks and came to demand the resignation of the Attorney General Pam Bondi, in claim of greater transparency by the government.
During Monday’s press conference at the White House, Leavitt was repeatedly consulted about documents linked to Epstein, But he avoided specifying whether the executive plans to disseminate more files. “The president has said that if the Department of Justice and the FBI wish to publish more credible evidence, they must do so. As for why they have done so, they have not done it or will, ask the FBI”, Detailed the spokeswoman.
It should be remembered that what happened with the WSJ has its antecedent. In February, the Trump administration prohibited The Associated Press from entering the Oval Office and Air Force One after the Agency will use the term “Gulf of Mexico” instead of “Gulf of America”, which unleashed a judicial dispute with the White House.
What are Epstein’s lists
The Jeffrey Epstein case is one of the scandals Darkest of the last decades in the United States. In recent months, he returned to occupy a central place in the public debate after the dissemination of New official documents and explosive statements on social networks.
Epstein, an American financier, He was accused of leading for at least twenty years a network of sexual trafficking of minors. Complaints included sexual abuse, child exploitation and the use of connections with influential figures to avoid judicial consequences. Although he was arrested in 2019, his death shortly after in prison – officially suicide – It caused suspicions and fed multiple theories about a possible cover -up.
One of the most recent episodes that revived the controversy was a publication in X (formerly Twitter) by Elon Musk, where he said: “It is time to explode the great bomb, Donald Trump is on Epstein’s lists. That is the reason why they were not made public. ” And minutes later he added: “Mark this publication for the future. The truth will come to light.”
Last February, the Department of Justice, headed by PAM Bondi, spread the first lot of “declassified” documents related to the cause. In that delivery, Trump appears only in the records of the private plane of Epstein. The nearly 200 revealed pages did not offer conclusive details or new weight findings.
Trump Epstein accusation
Among the names were on the financier’s contact agenda are personalities such as Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Alec Baldwin, Naomi Campbell, Courtney Love, Bob Weinstein, Ted Kennedy, Ethel Kennedy, Andrew Cuomo and Ralph Fiennes. The New York Post clarified that this notebook does not constitute a “Customer list“But a general record of social and professional ties.
Although the president’s name does not appear as direct contact, The documents confirm certain links. Trump’s old photographs along with Epstein had already circulated years ago, and in the flight records he states that the tycoon traveled with him on May 15, 1994. On that occasion, his then wife accompanied him Marla Maples, her daughter Tiffany and a babysitter.
However, the registered paths did not include visits to the island of Little Saint James –The place where numerous abuses were committed-, but internal flights within the US, between Palm Beach, Washington and New Jersey.
Already known flight records were also published, a copied and partially censored agenda that Epstein would have prepared together with Ghislaine Maxwell, and a list of masseuses (whose names were hidden from being victims). Among the tests are references to more than 150 elements, including sex toys, massage tables and compromising photographs.
The theme climbed media again after Virginia Giuffreone of the main complainants of the network, It was found dead after what the authorities described as an apparent suicide. His death revived the suspicions and demands of greater transparency on the connections of the case with figures of global political and economic power.
