White House, JD Vance slam WSJ over publication of Trump Epstein birthday letter: 'No one is falling for this BS'
Donald Trump,House Oversight Committee,Jeffrey Epstein
The Wall Street Journal on Monday reported that Jeffrey Epstein's estate had provided to Congress "a copy of the letter" the Journal says was written by Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. That letter was part of a "birthday book" of letters presented to Epstein on the occasion of his 50th birthday.
That image shows a drawing of a nude woman's silhouette with text, the signature, "Donald," where the woman's pubic hair would be. The Journal provided the copy to Congress in response to a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee, helmed by Rep. James Comer (R-KY).
The Journal reported that House Oversight confirmed they had received a copy of the entire "birthday book," though only the alleged Trump letter has been made public.
