By Anjali Sharma
WASHINGTON – House Oversight Democrats on Tuesday released a 2003 birthday note allegedly signed by Donald Trump for Jeffrey Epstein, contained a handwritten message and a suggestive doodle.
Trump’s team denied its authenticity, called it “fake news” and pursuing a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal.
The letter comprised a handwritten note and what appears to be a doodle of a curvaceous woman, along with a mysterious message referencing a “wonderful secret.”
The full House committee released the complete album, which listed other prominent names including former President Bill Clinton and attorney Alan Dershowitz in a “friends” section, along with additional letters containing sexually suggestive language.
Oversight Democrats wrote on X “We got Trump’s birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein that the President said doesn’t exist. Trump talks about a ‘wonderful secret’ the two of them shared. What is he hiding? Release the files”.
The note allegedly written by Trump, reads: “A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret.”
White House issued a statement dismissed the authenticity of the note.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote on X: “The latest piece published by the Wall Street Journal PROVES this entire ‘Birthday Card’ story is false.”
“As I have stated all along, it’s very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it. President Trump’s legal team will continue to aggressively pursue litigation,” she added.
“Furthermore, the ‘reporter’ @joe_palazzolo, who wrote this hatchet job, reached out for comment at the EXACT same minute he published his story, giving us no time to respond. This is FAKE NEWS to perpetuate the Democrat Epstein Hoax!”
In July, The Wall Street Journal reported initial details about the alleged birthday note.
Trump denied any involvement, said the words were “not my words, not the way I talk,” and added “I don’t draw pictures.” He subsequently filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Journal, accusing the paper of publishing a “fake” report.
