MeidasNews: “The House Oversight Committee escalated its investigation Monday into Jeffrey Epstein’s connections to political figures by subpoenaing documents from the late financier’s estate. Among the materials delivered was an image Democrats allege is a suggestive drawing signed by former president Donald Trump.”
The image was taken from a notorious 2003 “birthday book” – that also contains a letter from another Epstein associate that references Trump with a crude joke about a “fully depreciated” woman. You might just think the joke might mean Epstein was selling women to Trump.
But wait – there’s more! Bluesky user DevinCow has assembled the most disturbing pages of the Epstein birthday book in a single (note: NSFW) thread. View at your own risk.
Trump and his cadre continue to vehemently deny that the letter is genuine, with Trump having gone so far as to call hot a “dead issue” – but those denials are falling flat.
WaPo: Release of the book “prolonged the political problem for the president.”
The pundits are having a field day, including CNN’s Kaitlin Collins and MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough. And Donald Trump’s niece Mary issued a blistering six-word verdict over his birthday letter to Epstein.
Meanwhile, “[p]olitical insiders on Monday worked to prove a signature on a lewd birthday card to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein matches that of President Donald Trump — even as MAGA diehards insist the autograph is ‘fake.’” (More at AlterNet.)
