From Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/house-democrats-release-alleged-trump-birthday-letter-epstein-2025-09-08/

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released the letter after Congress received the 2003 "birthday book" from Epstein's lawyers, the Journal reported on Monday. The letter is dated three years before allegations of sex abuse by Epstein became public in 2006.

The letter contains text of a purported dialogue between Trump and Epstein in which Trump calls him a "pal" and says, "May every day be another wonderful secret." The text sits within a crude sketch of the silhouette of a naked woman.

White House deputy chief of staff Taylor Budowich denounced the release, saying the signature on the letter is not Trump's and alluding to Trump's lawsuit against the Journal's parent company, News Corp.

    Definitely the drawing of an innocent and completely normal person who has never raped any children

    Didn’t Colbert have a release of this like a month ago?

    The text of the note had been reported previously, but the actual image/layout had not been released

    Ah that’s it. They must have also included the description of the drawing around the text, and the location of the signature, because goddamn Colbert had a decent replica of this a long time ago.

    Has he tried to blame AI yet? On September 2nd, 2025, I heard Trump say in a press conference that if something really bad happens, he might have to blame AI

    Lt. Col. Bonespurs wouldn't know how to use "enigma" in a sentence and he sure as hell wouldn't be able to spell it properly.

    Now, yes, but even in 2016 he had shown significant cognitive decline from a decade or two before.

    But that's moot since I'm sure he had someone else type it up and he drew the underage girl on it.
