Democrats from the House oversight committee unveiled a suggestive letter addressed to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, allegedly signed by U.S. President Donald Trump. The letter, part of a 2003 birthday album for Epstein, showcases a drawing of a woman and a message signed by Trump. Trump denies involvement and has initiated a $10-billion lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal for reporting the story.
Despite being associated with Epstein in the past, Trump disavows any connection to the letter. The White House press secretary emphasized that Trump did not create the drawing or sign the message. Contrary to the reports, Trump’s deputy chief of staff shared examples of Trump’s authentic signatures, proving the discrepancy.
The disclosure of the letter has stirred controversy amidst bipartisan efforts to unveil Epstein’s files after years of speculation. Trump’s history with Epstein, including the latter’s criminal charges and their past relationship, has been extensively documented. Despite past ties, Trump has distanced himself from Epstein, citing reasons such as Epstein’s behavior towards young women.
The U.S. Justice Department has released records from the Epstein investigation to the House oversight committee. Subpoenas have been issued for various documents, including Epstein’s will, agreements with prosecutors, contact lists, and financial records, shedding light on the intricate web of associations surrounding the Epstein case.
