White House Denies Trump Epstein Birthday Letter Signature Amid Forgery Claims

President Donald Trump has vehemently denied signing a 2003 birthday note to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that includes a risqué sketch and a signature stylized as pubic hair, which was reported by The Wall Street Journal. The White House, through Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, has consistently called the letter a hoax and asserted that multiple forensic analyses demonstrate the signature is not authentic, with Trump's legal team pursuing litigation against the Wall Street Journal. Eric Trump also dismissed claims that his father drew the cartoon, despite evidence of Trump’s known doodles. Democrats and the House Oversight Committee have pushed for the release of related documents, questioning what Trump might be hiding, while online critics remain unconvinced by the White House's denials. Supporters of Trump highlight comparisons of his other known signatures to argue that the letter is fabricated, while critics highlight the administration's aggressive denial as suspicious. The controversy continues to fuel political tensions as Trump maintains his innocence and pursues legal action against the media outlets reporting on the letter.
