A Wall Street Journal reporter was removed from Donald Trump's press pool for an upcoming trip to Scotland, following the publication of an article alleging he had sent a birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein. The White House press secretary confirmed that access to cover the President is not guaranteed for any news outlet. Thirteen other outlets will cover Trump's trip instead. This decision reflects a significant shift in the management of the press pool from the White House Correspondents' Association to the administration, which previously banned other outlets for various reasons.
