Trump Calls Birthday Letter to Epstein "Nonsense"


(MENAFN) US President Donald Trump on Tuesday refuted claims that he sent a birthday letter to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2003, describing the document released by House Democrats as "nonsense."

"It's not my signature and it's not the way I speak, and anybody that's covered me for a long time knows that's not my language," Trump told reporters, disputing the authenticity of the letter.

"It's nonsense. And frankly, you're wasting your time," he added.

The House Oversight Committee shared a copy of the letter on Monday, which was written within a doodle resembling a naked woman's body and signed "Donald."

The White House confirmed it would support a handwriting forensics expert to examine the purported birthday letter.

The Wall Street Journal was the first to report the letter's existence and published an analysis indicating potential similarities between the signature and fonts in other Trump correspondence from 2000 and 2006.

The White House has firmly rejected the letter’s authenticity, and the president has filed a lawsuit against the newspaper.

"The president did not write this letter. He did not sign this letter, and that's why the president's external legal team is aggressively pursuing litigation against The Wall Street Journal," White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told reporters.
