WASHINGTON — The White House slammed the release of President Trump’s alleged birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein as “FAKE NEWS”– as.
The White House slammed the release of President Trump’s alleged birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein as “FAKE NEWS”– as other prominent names were revealed in the book celebrating the dead pedophile’s 50th birthday in 2003.
The full book, provided to Congress by Epstein’s estate, was released publicly by the Republican-led House Oversight Committee Monday evening after Democrats on the panel released only the Trump page.
Trump, 79, told NBC News Tuesday morning that “I don’t comment on something that’s a dead issue … I gave all comments to the staff. It’s a dead issue.”
The president previously denied drafting the page, which included a rough outline of a woman’s naked body and the words, “may every day be another wonderful secret,” and is suing News Corp, The Post’s parent company, after the Wall Street Journal first described the illustration in July.
Trump’s top spokespeople said that the signature did not appear to be the president’s, though the Journal assessed it to be consistent with some of Trump’s prior autographs.
“The latest piece published by the Wall Street Journal PROVES this entire ‘Birthday Card’ story is false,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt tweeted Monday.
Trump ended his association with Epstein in the mid-2000s — before Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to Florida charges of soliciting sex from a minor, which saw him confined for 13 months, much of which was spent on work release.
“As I have said all along, it’s very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it. President Trump’s legal team will continue to aggressively pursue litigation. Furthermore, the ‘reporter’… who wrote this hatchet job reached out for comment at the EXACT same minute he published his story giving us no time to respond. This is FAKE NEWS to perpetuate the Democrat Epstein Hoax!”

The president revealed in late July that Epstein’s poaching of masseuses from Mar-a-Lago caused their falling out.
