Democrats claim Donald Trump drew a celebratory note praising Jeffrey Epstein’s “great secret,” which included a sketch of a naked woman; Trump denies writing or signing it.
Trump Denies Involvement
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that “President Trump did not draw this image and did not sign it.” She also noted that legal proceedings regarding the matter are ongoing.
Democrats Display Alleged Note
On September 8, Democrats from the House Oversight Committee released a birth card allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. The card features a sketch of a naked woman and a dialogue between Trump and Epstein.
Trump Sues Over Allegation
On July 18, Donald Trump announced a lawsuit against the journalists involved, stating, “We have just filed a major lawsuit against all those involved in publishing a false, malicious, libelous, fake news article in the worthless trashcan called ‘The Wall Street Journal.'”
Origins and Links to Epstein Scandal
The matter first came to light in The Wall Street Journal, which reported that Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s associate and child sex trafficker, had requested birthday messages from friends and financed the book. One of the messages reportedly came from Donald Trump.
