Trump Dodges Epstein Letter Questions as Defense Crumbles
In response to the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday book, which allegedly included a message and lewd drawing attributed to Donald Trump, the former president has dismissed the issue as “dead.” Trump initially denied the existence of the message before shifting his defense to question the authenticity of the signature. Despite this, analysis of Trump’s signatures indicates the handwriting aligns with other known examples. The White House has since denied that the message or the signature is Trump’s, with Trump filing a defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal over the initial reporting.
