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.

“President Donald Trump’s bid to take down the Wall Street Journal over its coverage of his connection to Jeffrey Epstein has landed in the courtroom of Darrin Gayles, who is likely experiencing deja vu,” Politico reports. “That’s because Gayles, a 2014 appointee of Barack Obama, had another brush with a litigious Trump in 2023, when the then-former president sought to punish his onetime lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen.” “Trump sued Cohen in Apri…
