Overview

• Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee released an image showing a woman's silhouette with a fictional dialogue between “Donald” and “Jeffrey” and a signature presented as Donald Trump's.
• The White House and the president deny he drew or signed the note, and Trump is pursuing a multibillion‑dollar defamation suit against the Wall Street Journal over its July reporting.
• Committee members received the birthday album and related materials from lawyers for Epstein's estate under a legal order before posting the copy online.
• Republican chair James Comer criticized Democrats for selective disclosure and said the material does not allege misconduct by the president.
• The Wall Street Journal posted a photo of the purported letter on Monday, and the committee highlighted additional records it has obtained, including Epstein's will, address book entries, and the birthday book compiled for his 50th.
