Overview

• House Oversight Democrats posted an image from Epstein’s 2003 birthday book showing a typed message bordered by a hand‑drawn female silhouette and a handwritten “Donald.”
• The page came from materials delivered by Jeffrey Epstein’s estate to Congress, part of a broader document production that has included tens of thousands of pages.
• President Trump and the White House say he neither wrote the note nor drew the image, and his legal team is pursuing a $10 billion defamation suit against The Wall Street Journal over its earlier report.
• Signature reviews have produced conflicting assessments, with some analysts noting similarities to Trump’s prior first‑name signatures and aides circulating exemplars to dispute any match.
• The release has heightened pressure in Congress for wider disclosure of Epstein files, even as prior DOJ/FBI findings reaffirmed Epstein’s 2019 death as a suicide and reported no evidence of a compiled client list.
