Congressional Democrats Monday released a copy of a sexually suggestive letter ostensibly written by President Trump to Jeffrey Epstein to mark the pedophile’s 50th birthday, a missive Trump claimed he never wrote when it was first revealed by the Wall Street Journal.
The chummy letter, which was included in a batch of documents handed over by Epstein’s estate, includes Trump’s name and handwritten signature, though the White House says it’s a fake.
The typed text is framed by a hand-drawn outline of a curvy woman, as the Wall Street Journal described.
“A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret,” the letter said.
“We have certain things in common, Jeffrey,” Trump also wrote. “Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?”
A White House spokesperson Monday repeated Trump’s claim that the letter is a fake and the signature on it does not match Trump’s.
Trump sued The Wall Street Journal in July after the paper published a description of the letter from Trump, which was included in a birthday album for Epstein in 2003.
The president claimed that the letter doesn’t sound like his words and that he doesn’t draw pictures, although several of his sketches have surfaced over the years.
The new revelations come as Trump has struggled to turn the page on the politically damaging scandal.
Just last week, a group of Epstein victims called on the White House to release all the Epstein files, a step Trump has resisted fiercely since Attorney General Pam Bondi told him his name appears many times in the documents.
Trump and his allies have for years stoked claims of a cover-up in the case to protect wealthy and politically connected associates of Epstein, even though the president himself was once close friends with the financier and Palm Beach neighbor.
Epstein died by suicide in 2019 awaiting trial on federal charges of trafficking of scores of underage girls. His ex-girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, was convicted of helping him procure young girls for sex and is serving a 20-year sentence in federal prison.
Maxwell was moved to a cushy federal prison camp after she sat for two days of interviews with a top Department of Justice prosecutor in which she denied ever seeing Trump act inappropriately around Epstein.
