President Donald Trump responded to a Wall Street Journal story published Thursday that revealed an alleged birthday letter sent by Trump to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday.
The letter bearing Donald Trump’s name, reviewed by the Journal, reportedly features several lines of typewritten text surrounded by the outline of a naked woman, sketched in marker. The illustration also includes two small arcs representing breasts, with Trump’s signature—a “Donald”—positioned below the waist, resembling pubic hair.
The letter concludes: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”
The president told the Journal on Tuesday, “This is not me. This is a fake thing. It’s a fake Wall Street Journal story,” he said. “I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women. It’s not my language. It’s not my words.”
He also said he would file a lawsuit against the publication if it published the story:
“I’m gonna sue The Wall Street Journal just like I sued everyone else,” he said, according to the newspaper.
