President Donald Trump has responded to accusations that he sent Jeffrey Epstein a lewd birthday card after Democrats released images of the alleged drawing.
Trump, declining to comment on the letter, told NBC News during a phone call this morning: 'I don't comment on something that's a dead issue. I gave all comments to the staff. It's a dead issue.'
Trump previously called the birthday message 'fake' and filed a $10billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the message.
The alleged note, which was included as part of a birthday scrapbook for the disgraced financier, concludes: 'may every day be another wonderful secret'.
A photo of the sexually suggestive card - which features a drawing of a curvaceous woman and appears to bare Trump's signature - was turned over to Congress by representatives of the late financier as part of the investigation into his crimes.
