"Trump's Birthday Message to Epstein Exposed as Fake, White House Claims"

White House Denies Authenticity of Trump's Birthday Message to Epstein The White House has denied the authenticity of a letter allegedly written by President Donald Trump to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, claiming that the president did not draw or sign it. The letter was part of a "birthday book" given to Epstein in 2003, which included messages from notable figures such as Lord Peter Mandelson. According to documents released by a US House committee, the birthday book was a collection of letters and drawings compiled by Epstein's friends. The book also contained a message from Trump, which has been widely reported as featuring a drawing of a woman's body. However, the White House has disputed this, saying that Trump "did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it." The denial comes amid growing pressure for transparency regarding investigations into Epstein's activities and connections with prominent individuals. The controversy has sparked renewed scrutiny of Trump's ties to Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Epstein's will and personal address book were also released as part of the documents. According to a report by Deutsche Welle, the address book includes the names of royalty, celebrities, models, and politicians from around the world. The book was seen as evidence of Epstein's extensive network of influential connections. The White House's denial has been met with skepticism by some lawmakers. "This is just another example of the Trump administration trying to cover up their ties to Epstein," said a Democratic politician, who wished to remain anonymous. "We demand transparency and accountability from this administration." According to a report by BBC World, the birthday book was given to Epstein in 2003 as part of his 50th birthday celebrations. The book also included messages from other notable figures, such as Lord Peter Mandelson. The controversy has sparked renewed calls for an investigation into Trump's ties to Epstein. "We need to get to the bottom of this and find out what really happened," said a spokesperson for the US House committee that released the documents. As the investigation continues, the White House remains tight-lipped about the matter. However, according to a report by BREAKING: BBC Breaking, the White House has stated that they are "cooperating fully" with the investigation and will provide any necessary information. The current status of the investigation is unclear, but it is expected to continue in the coming weeks. As the story unfolds, one thing is certain: the public's demand for transparency and accountability from the Trump administration shows no signs of abating.
