US President Donald Trump landed in Scotland on Friday for a five-day visit set to mix diplomacy, business and leisure, as a huge UK security operation swung into place amid planned protests near his family-owned golf resorts.

The Journal reported that the president sent Jeffrey Epstein a birthday card in 2003 with a drawing of a naked woman.

The president sued the publication last week, accusing it of defamation for an article about his ties to the disgraced former financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The White House said The Wall Street Journal would not be in the press pool traveling with Trump to Scotland due to its report on the Epstein letter.

When the White House took control of the so-called “press pool” that accompanies the president, journalists worried that the Trump administration would use that power to punish news outlets.
