Florida GOP rep comes after House's WSJ subscription: 'Filthy'

Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) is advocating for the House to cancel any subscriptions to The Wall Street Journal after the paper released a significant report on Thursday detailing fresh insights into President Trump’s connections with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender.

“I’ll be introducing legislation to end the House of Representatives subscription contract with the WSJ,” Fine stated on the social platform X, shortly after the report’s release. “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 Journal’s report highlighted that Trump signed a “bawdy” birthday message to Epstein in 2003, which occurred years before Epstein faced accusations of sexually trafficking young girls, passed away while awaiting a federal trial, and captured the intense attention of Trump’s ardent MAGA supporters, turning into a public sensation.

“Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret,” the note read near Trump’s squiggled signature around a drawing of a naked woman, according to the Journal.

Trump denied he wrote the message, which the Journal reported was included in a book of letters to Epstein for his 50th birthday. The president also threatened to sue the outlet owned by billionaire Rupert Murdoch for publishing the story.

Trump has urged allies to stop bringing up what he dubbed the “Epstein hoax” after the Department of Justice announced its investigation determined Epstein did not keep a “client list” and died by suicide in jail.

“This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!” the president wrote in a post on his Truth Social website Thursday night.

The Trump administration, through the Department of Government Efficiency, took an axe to most taxpayer-funded media subscriptions earlier this year.

When a social media follower asked Fine why the federal government was paying for Journal subscriptions, the first-term Florida congressman replied that it was a “great question.”

“I’m the new guy. Just got here three months ago,” Fine wrote. “I’m blown away by all the crazy things money gets spent on.”
