The Wall Street Journal published a photo of a birthday note Donald Trump wrote to Jeffrey Epstein, contradicting Trump’s assertion that it did not exist and the story was fabricated. The note, which was part of a collection celebrating Epstein’s 50th birthday, features a crude drawing of a naked woman and was signed by Trump. The president had previously denied writing the note and sued the Journal for its reporting on the matter, while Vice President J.D. Vance also questioned the story. Following the Journal’s story, sources close to Trump indicated his team attempted to stop the report’s release, but the story has still seen the light of day.

This act, introduced by Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, aims to compel the Justice Department and other agencies to release all files related to Epstein, regardless of the individuals who may be implicated.
