Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) plans to introduce legislation seeking to end any subscriptions the House of Representatives has with The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) after the outlet published a report on Thursday highlighting Donald Trump’s close relationship with the late disgraced financier and accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
“I’ll be introducing legislation to end the House of Representatives subscription contract with the WSJ,” Fine wrote on X. “Americans shouldn’t be paying for disgusting and filthy rags.”
“I have also directed my entire staff to delete their taxpayer-funded WSJ accounts,” he added.
The WSJ reported Thursday that Trump was among Epstein’s many friends who sent letters to the alleged pedophile celebrating his 50th birthday in 2003.
“Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret,” the message reads, according to the Journal. The text is surrounded by a drawing of a naked woman.
The drawing had a ‘pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the future president’s signature is a squiggly “Donald” below her waist, mimicking pubic hair’, the Journal reported.
Trump denied that he drew the photo and threatened to take legal action against the Journal.
“This is not me. This is a fake thing. It’s a fake Wall Street Journal story,” he said. “I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women,” he said. “It’s not my language. It’s not my words.”
“I’m gonna sue The Wall Street Journal just like I sued everyone else,” Trump added.
