Democrats on the US House Oversight Committee have released an alleged birthday letter attributed to President Donald Trump, purportedly addressed to Jeffrey Epstein. The document, initially reported by a news outlet last month, features a handwritten note and a sketch of a woman. Trump has denied authoring the letter or creating the accompanying artwork, stating he is pursuing legal action against the publication for defamation.
The letter, part of a 2003 album compiled for Epstein’s birthday, was obtained by the committee as part of documents from Epstein’s estate. A White House deputy chief of staff shared images of Trump’s signature on social media, asserting it does not match the one in the letter and accusing the publication of defamation. Conservative analysts have highlighted discrepancies between the signature in the document and Trump’s known handwriting.
The White House has not commented publicly on the matter, while the Associated Press sought clarification without immediate response. The article includes a guest post disclaimer and promotional content for bedding products, which are excluded from this rewrite.
