Democrats in Congress release alleged Trump birthday note to Epstein

The Democrats of the Congress published a note that would have signed by American president Donald Trump and sent to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th anniversary.

Epstein’s succession lawyers sent documents to the Chamber’s supervisory committee after being assigned to appear last month.

The Democrats of the Committee then published a copy of the alleged letter on X.

The White House said that the signature of the letter was not Trump’s. After the Wall Street Journal published the details of the alleged note in July, Trump said that it was “a false thing” and denied having written it.

“These are not my words, not the way I speak. In addition, I do not draw images,” he said at the time.

“President Trump did not draw this photo, and he did not sign it,” said the White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday. “President Trump’s legal team will continue to pursue disputes aggressively.”

The signed note says: “Happy birthday – and every day is another wonderful secret.”

The committee last month published a legal assignment to the testamentary executors of Epstein’s succession to produce a certain number of documents, including a birthday book which contains the allegedly Trump note.

Trump brought legal action against journalists, publisher and managers of the Wall Street Journal, including the owner of News Corp, Rupert Murdoch, after the newspaper published his history in summer.

The publisher of the Dow Jones newspaper said at the time that he had “fully confidence in the rigor and precision of our reports”.

On X, the deputy chief of staff of the White House, Taylor Budowich, published several images of Trump’s signature on Monday.

“It’s time for @newscorp to open this checkbook, it’s not his signature. Defamation!” Budowich wrote.

The Wall Street Journal reported in July that the accomplice of Epstein Ghislaine Maxwell had created the birthday book for the financier in 2003.

He contained submissions of various Epstein knowledge, including a note bearing the name of Trump, who was then his friend.

Trump and Epstein have been sympathetic for years, but the president said he was getting started with him in the early 2000s after the financier poache employees of his seaside resort from Mar-A-Lago in Florida.

Epstein was criminally charged in 2006 in Florida on an accusation of state of solicitation of prostitution. He died in prison in 2019 pending trial.
