US President Donald Trump on Tuesday reiterated his denial that he had authored a lewd birthday note to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, after the alleged letter was released to the public a day earlier.

Axar.az reports, citing foreign media, Trump sued the Wall Street Journal over its initial report about it. He suggested someone else could’ve written it and signed his name.

That denial suffered another significant blow on Monday.

The House Oversight Committee received a copy of the “birthday book” containing the letter in question, and it matches the Journal’s description of the letter.

It’s a page long and features a silhouette of a woman’s body with an apparently imagined conversation between Trump and Epstein inside the drawing. Below it is a signature line that feature’s Trump’s name and a cursive “Donald” in an area made to look like a woman’s pubic area.

The key fact here is that this comes from Epstein’s estate. In other words, for this letter to have been fake, someone would have had to plant it in Epstein’s possessions a long time ago, somehow.

Trump has called the letter a “FAKE” and flatly denied authoring it. And plenty of allies lined up behind that denial. Vice President JD Vance called the Journal’s report “complete and utter bullshit.”
