As pressure mounts on President Donald Trump’s administration to make long-promised data pertaining to the disgraced financier’s sex trafficking case public, a fresh scandal has emerged around his previous relationships with Jeffrey Epstein.
The controversy started in 2003 when a report about a sexually provocative letter purportedly written by Trump and featured on Epstein’s record for his fiftieth birthday was published in The Wall Street Journal. According to reports, the letter, which has been detailed but not completely released, included a hand-drawn sketch of a nude lady along with the words, “Happy Birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret.” The Journal said that Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime associate, put together the letter.
The accusation was quickly refuted by Trump, who called it “false, malicious, and defamatory,” and claimed to have requested a retraction from editor-in-chief Emma Tucker and the paper’s owner, Rupert Murdoch. Declaring, “These are not my words, not the way I talk,” he asserted the message was a fake. I’m not a picture-drawer either. Additionally, he promised to sue the paper for the report.
J.D. Vance, the vice president, defended Trump by criticizing the Journal’s choice to publish the article without releasing the complete document. “Would you be shocked to learn they never showed it to us before publishing it?” X (previously Twitter) is where Vance asked.
