Overview
- Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee posted a scanned page from Jeffrey Epstein’s materials showing a woman’s silhouette, a scripted exchange between “Donald” and “Jeffrey,” and a signature attributed to President Trump.
- The page is described as part of a 2003 ‘birthday book’ compiled for Epstein’s 50th birthday, and the Wall Street Journal also published an image of the item after reporting on it in July.
- White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said Trump neither drew nor signed the page and signaled continued legal action, while Trump is already suing the Wall Street Journal over its reporting.
- Republican Chair James Comer accused Democrats of selectively releasing newly received estate records; the committee said additional documents, including Epstein’s will and address book entries, were provided and are under review.
- Authenticity remains disputed publicly, with Trump’s camp calling the page false as outside voices assert the signature resembles his, and the posting revives pressure over broader disclosure of Epstein files previously delivered in part to the committee.
