White House dismisses Trump ‘birthday card’ to Epstein as bulls**t

< warm data-start="155" data-end="226">The ruff establishment has reacted to the give up of a note that Democrats claim was written by President Donald Trump for Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003, dismissing it as “fake news” designed to fuel a political hoax.

The note, published Monday as part of congressional documents, included typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, ending with the words: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.” It appeared to be signed “Donald” below the waistline of the drawing.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the letter was not authentic and reiterated that Trump’s legal team is pursuing a defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal.

“The latest piece published by the Wall Street Journal PROVES this entire ‘Birthday Card’ story is false. As I have said all along, it’s very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it,” she wrote on X. Leavitt also accused the Journal of deliberately timing its reporting to prevent the White House from responding.

“No one is falling for this BS,” Vice President J.D. Vance wrote on X, accusing the Democrats of exploiting Epstein’s victims to smear Trump. “The Democrats don’t care about Epstein. They don’t even care about his victims. That’s why they were silent about it for years.”

The Democrats don't care about Epstein. They don’t even care about his victims. That's why they were silent about it for years. The only thing they care about is concocting another fake scandal like Russiagate to smear President Trump with lies.No one is falling for this BS. https://t.co/u3pHgBtQDf

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee published the alleged note on social media, asking what “secret” Trump was hiding and demanding the release of additional files. Republican committee chairman James Comer accused Democrats of “cherry-picking documents” from the Epstein estate and pledged to run a comprehensive investigation.

The disputed note was included in a professionally bound “birthday book” compiled for Epstein by his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. The album contained contributions from dozens of acquaintances, including prominent businessmen and politicians, some of which featured sexual jokes and explicit imagery.

Trump has previously dismissed the allegations as a hoax and sued Wall Street Journal owner Rupert Murdoch for libel, seeking $10 billion in damages.

Epstein, a convicted sex offender, was found dead in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. His long association with wealthy and influential figures continues to fuel controversy in Washington, where both parties have accused each other of using the case for political gain.
