Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a copy of a birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein bearing the signature of President Donald Trump, a note he has denied writing.
The letter posted on social media Sept. 8 shows Trump's purported message to Epstein inside the outline of a woman's body, with the president's signature mimicking pubic hair.
The letter, which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal in July, ends with the message: "A pal is a wonderful thing - Happy Birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret."
"We got Trump’s birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein that the President said doesn’t exist," the Oversight Committee Democrats posted on social media Sept. 8. "Trump talks about a 'wonderful secret' the two of them shared. What is he hiding? Release the files!"
Trump called the letter a "FAKE" in an earlier social media post and said the Wall Street Journal story is "false, malicious, and defamatory." The president filed a lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal, its parent company, owner and two reporters claiming libel and slander and seeking $10 billion in damages.
