WSJ Exclusive: Epstein's Friends Sent Him Bawdy Letters for a 50th Birthday Album. One Was From Trump.

The letter concludes: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”

In an interview with the Journal on Tuesday evening, Trump denied writing the letter or drawing the picture. “This is not me. This is a fake thing. It’s a fake Wall Street Journal story,” he said.

“I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women,” he said. “It’s not my language. It’s not my words.”

He told the Journal he was preparing to file a lawsuit if it published an article. “I’m gonna sue The Wall Street Journal just like I sued everyone else,” he said.

Then “fake news”

I don’t find this letter alone to be in any way all that damning. He’s a shitty person and always has been. Shitty people associate with shitty people and say shitty things. This is that.

Maga will not care about this letter.
