WSJ: Sexualized letter bearing Trump’s name found in Epstein birthday book, Trump denies

UNITED STATES, JUL 21 – Trump denies authorship of a 2003 birthday letter to Epstein featuring a drawing and vows legal action against The Wall Street Journal for publishing the alleged note.

  • Last Thursday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Epstein’s 2003 birthday album included a note with Donald Trump’s name and a sketch of a naked woman.
  • Ghislaine Maxwell assembled the album, including entries from Leslie Wexner and Alan Dershowitz, with entries from Epstein associates, according to the Wall Street Journal report.
  • Within the album, the alleged entry shows typewritten lines and a hand-drawn sketch, Wall Street Journal said, noting a `squiggly` signature below the figure’s waist.
  • On Tuesday, Trump denied writing the note or drawing the picture, calling it a `fake Wall Street Journal story`.
  • Legal experts warn that discovery could stretch on for years before public release, and documents may take years to emerge in discovery.
