The White House has denied that President Donald Trump signed a sexually suggestive letter to Jeffrey Epstein while agreeing to support a handwriting analysis of the disputed document. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said a Wall Street Journal story Monday about Democrats’ making the card public “PROVES this entire ‘Birthday Card’ story is false.” The controversy centers around a 2003 birthday book compiled for the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released the contents of Epstein’s birthday book earlier this week, which includes what they claim is a handwritten note and drawing from Trump. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee said the book included a tawdry drawing and note that appeared to include President Trump’s signature. The Trump administration’s response to this controversy follows a pattern of denials while facing ongoing political challenges.
