Donald Trump’s comms team and legion of loyal defenders were back at work spinning the latest development in the Jeffrey Epstein case on Monday.
News broke late Monday afternoon that members of the House Oversight Committee had received a batch of files from the estate of Epstein, who died in federal custody in 2019. Almost immediately, the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal and Democrats on the committee revealed that the batch contained the original copy of the so-called “birthday book” compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell for her then boyfriend’s 50th birthday celebration — including a “bawdy” letter supposedly penned to Epstein by Trump.
