Trump Denies Epstein Birthday Note, Vows Legal Action Against WSJ

 

U.S. President Donald Trump has forcefully rejected a report by The Wall Street Journal that alleges he contributed a suggestive birthday message to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. The note, reportedly part of a leather-bound album compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell for Epstein’s 50th birthday, included typewritten text framed by a hand-drawn sketch of a naked woman and bore Trump’s signature.

Trump responded with outrage, calling the letter “fake,” “malicious,” and “defamatory.” He denied ever writing or drawing anything of the sort, stating, “I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women. It’s not my language. It’s not my words”. He has since filed a libel lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, its parent company NewsCorp, and media mogul Rupert Murdoch.

The controversy has reignited scrutiny over Trump’s past ties to Epstein, whom he once described as “a lot of fun to be with” in a 2002 interview. Though the two reportedly fell out in 2004, their earlier social interactions—including at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate—remain a point of public interest.

The Justice Department is now reviewing the letter, while Attorney General Pam Bondi has been directed to seek court approval to release grand jury information related to the Epstein case. Trump’s legal team insists the Journal never showed them the original letter before publishing the story, further fueling claims of journalistic misconduct.

This latest episode adds to the growing tension surrounding the unreleased Epstein files, which have become a flashpoint among Trump’s supporters and critics alike.
