Fox News Panel Says Trump’s Signature on Epstein Note Looks Plausible

Conservative commentary challenging the denial coincides with renewed pressure in Congress for wider Epstein disclosures.

Overview

  • The House Oversight Committee’s recent release of Epstein estate materials included a 2003 birthday note bearing a signature attributed to President Donald Trump.
  • Trump has rejected the note as inauthentic, saying it is not his signature or voice, and he has sued the Wall Street Journal over earlier reporting on the birthday album.
  • On Fox News’s MediaBuzz, host Howard Kurtz and panelists Sarah Bedford and Charlie Gasparino said the signature appeared plausible and questioned the political wisdom of the White House denial.
  • Bedford argued the letter adds little new about Trump’s early‑2000s ties to Epstein, while Gasparino suggested Trump might not recall signing because he routinely signs many items.
  • Separately, lawmakers pressed for more records, with Rep. Jamie Raskin seeking answers from the FBI, Sen. Chuck Schumer arranging a procedural vote to compel DOJ releases, and Rep. Thomas Massie’s discharge petition nearing the threshold for a House vote.
