Washington DC - The White House said President Donald Trump did not sign or draw an alleged birthday note to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2003 that was released on Monday by Democratic lawmakers.

"As I have said all along, it's very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it," Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on X.

Leavitt added that the story about the lewd note was "false" and said Trump's legal team would "continue to aggressively pursue litigation" against the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the existence of the letter.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, which is probing the handling of criminal investigations into the financier, published the letter on social media after it was delivered by Epstein's estate.

The note is inserted into the sketched outline of a nude woman, and was allegedly part of a book of letters from Epstein's friends, compiled by his now-imprisoned associate Ghislaine Maxwell for the financier's fiftieth birthday.

The note consists of a short dialogue between "Donald" and "Jeffrey."

"A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday – and may every day be another wonderful secret," the note ends, followed by Trump's signature.

Trump (79) sued the Wall Street Journal for $10 billion after it originally reported the existence of the letter, insisting that he had never sent it.
