The lawsuit comes a day after the newspaper published a story reporting on President Trump's ties to wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein. The president is seeking at least $10 billion in damages.

Sources tell Variety that the White House attempted to block the publication of a Wall Street Journal article about President Donald Trump allegedly writing a letter to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003 that contains suggestive language.

Trump's hope of getting the country to forget about Epstein won't come to fruition anytime soon, as an exposé about his relationship with the pedophile is set to drop.
