Trump Explodes Over Epstein Letter Allegation
Donald Trump has fired back at a U.S. newspaper and threatened legal action after it published what it claims is a disturbing letter he allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003.
WSJ Publishes Alleged Epstein Birthday Note
This week, The Wall Street Journal reported that Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend and convicted accomplice, compiled messages from Epstein’s associates into a birthday album. One message, according to WSJ, was reportedly signed by Trump.
The letter allegedly contained typed text surrounded by a hand-drawn sketch of a n*ked woman. It ended with the line:
“Happy Birthday – and may every day be another wonderful secret,”
signed simply, Donald.
Trump Slams Report, Thr**tens Lawsuit
Trump immediately responded on Truth Social. He called the letter a “FAKE” and announced plans to sue The Wall Street Journal.
He wrote:
“The Wall Street Journal, and Rupert Murdoch, personally, were warned directly by President Donald J. Trump that the supposed letter they printed was a FAKE… If they print it, they will be sued.”
According to Trump, WSJ Editor Emma Tucker was directly informed by both himself and spokesperson Karoline Leavitt. He accused the paper of ignoring their warnings and pushing a “false, malicious, and defamatory” story.
He added that he will sue WSJ, NewsCorp, and Rupert Murdoch “shortly,” insisting:
“The press must learn to be truthful and not rely on sources that probably don’t even exist.”
Epstein’s D**th and Ongoing Investigations
Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted ped*ph.ile, d**d in August 2019 in his Manhattan jail cell. At the time, he was awaiting trial on s*x tra.ffic.king charges, which he denied. He was 66.
Authorities have since stated that the Department of Justice holds over 200 documents related to the Epstein case, while the FBI possesses thousands more.
Trump Demands Transparency in Epstein Case
In a follow-up post, Trump urged former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all grand jury testimony related to Epstein’s investigation.
Bondi responded promptly on Twitter:
“President Trump — we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts.”
Trump has acknowledged that any release would still require court approval.
