Democrats in Congress have published a letter with a drawing addressed to financier Jeffrey Epstein, convicted of child prostitution and other crimes, which was allegedly signed more than 20 years ago by the current US President Donald Trump.
The American leader has repeatedly stressed that he has nothing to do with this letter.
„We received a letter from Trump to Jeffrey Epstein on the occasion of his birthday, which, according to Trump, did not exist. Trump writes that the two have a “beautiful secret“. What is he hiding? Publish the documents“, commented in X Democratic lawmakers who are members of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. The committee had previously received materials from the U.S. Department of Justice regarding the Epstein case investigation.
Trump has repeatedly stressed that he had nothing to do with the aforementioned letter with a drawing of a naked woman. In July, the U.S. president filed a defamation lawsuit over an article in The Wall Street Journal that allegedly signed the letter. The defendants in the case are media mogul Rupert Murdoch and his media holding News Corporation, which owns the newspaper.
The publication claims that the congratulatory letter is part of an album prepared for Epstein's 50th birthday. The message from Trump, published by the Democrats, says that he and Epstein "have something in common". The letter also says: "Friend - that's great. Happy birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret.“
Trump stressed that the expressions used in the letter were not typical of him. He assured that he was not in the habit of drawing anything.
