Lawyers for Jeffrey Epstein’s estate have given Congress a copy of the birthday book put together for the financier’s 50th birthday, which includes a letter with President Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist. On Monday, House Oversight Committee members confirmed that they received a copy of the birthday book including the  letter bearing Trump’s signature  and a letter that references Trump with a crude joke about a woman from another Epstein associate.
“President Trump called the Epstein investigation a hoax and claimed that his birthday note didn’t exist. Now we know that  Donald Trump  was lying and is doing everything he can to cover up the truth,” said Rep. Robert Garcia (D., Calif.), who is the committee’s Democratic ranking member. “Enough of the games and lies, release the full files now.” Exclusive | Epstein Birthday Letter With Trump’s Signature Revealed - WSJ

Another leftist manufactured hoax, no way to validate the authenticity of the any aspect of the story. 

I can't wait for the 'TRUTH' to be revealed!  LOL

The letter was sent by the Epstein estate to a congressional committee. I doubt that can be a "hoax". 

What does Trump mean when he says "Happy Birthday, and may every day be a another wonderful secret."

What validation do you have to authenticate that?

Who are the leftists? Epstein? His estate’s lawyers?

Since you want so badly for this to be a hoax, that seems to be an admission that if Trump was part of this, that would be a bad thing. 

If Trump was raping underage girls, should he be impeached and removed from office? Should he be criminally prosecuted afterward?

For my part, I want them all prosecuted, and I don’t care who they are.

Agreed, but at the federal level history shows us that rich powerful people don’t go to jail unless they steal from richer more powerful people.

Here's a list of Jeffrey Epstein's associates and acquaintances.

I did not see Donald Trump's name on this list.  Maybe I missed it?  Chuck Schumer shows up quite often.  So does Bill Clinton.  But no Trump.

We know Biden was senile, and Harris was completely incompetent, but there had to be at least 1 person in the Biden administration that had 3 digits in their IQ, if there was anything that could be used against Trump it would have been leaked, you have to be a moron or a moronic partisan hack to think otherwise.

A Visual Breakdown of the Trump Birthday Letter to Epstein

An analysis of the text and drawing long hidden in a 2003 birthday book

An image of the letter, which has been turned over to Congress by the Epstein estate.

Here’s an analysis of the letter bearing   Donald Trump ’s name that was included in a 50th birthday book for   Jeffrey Epstein.

The Wall Street Journal in July reported on the 2003 birthday book and   letter bearing Trump’s name . Trump has denied writing the letter or drawing the picture, calling it “a fake thing.” 

Karoline Leavitt, White House press secretary, said Monday in a social-media post, “As I have said all along, it’s very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it.”

A copy of the letter was provided Monday to Congress in response to a subpoena from Rep.   James Comer   (R., Ky.), the chair of the House Oversight Committee. Reps.   Robert Garcia   (D., Calif.) and   Ro Khanna   (D., Calif.) had pressed for the release of the book from the Epstein estate.

Here is a look at key features of the document.

Signature and typeface

In the Epstein letter, Trump’s signature is a squiggly “Donald” mimicking pubic hair. Trump often signs with his full name, but there are other examples of personal letters he sent with a similar signature and bold serif lettering.

The signature and font used in the 2003 Epstein letter resemble…

…a thank-you letter Trump sent in April 2006 to attorney George Conway…

…and a letter sent in November 2000 to Hillary Clinton congratulating her on her election to the U.S. Senate.

Line drawings

The Epstein letter has a line drawing that appears to be hand-drawn with heavy marker, including a pair of small arcs denoting a woman’s breasts. Over the years, doodles and drawings of cityscapes and other subjects with similar strokes have been attributed to Trump and auctioned for charity.

Third person

The Epstein letter has a typewritten note styled as an imaginary conversation between Trump and Epstein, written in the third person. In speeches and social-media posts, Trump has often referred to himself in the third person. Here are four video clips:

Word choices

The Epstein letter says, “Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?” and ends with “A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday—and may every day be another wonderful secret.” Trump used the word “enigma” to describe Don King and Mike Tyson in his 1990 book and to describe Dan Rather in his 2004 book. In social-media posts and in speeches, Trump has often used the phrase “a wonderful thing.” Here are some examples.

‘Enigma’

im-62287567
“Any discussion of Mike’s affairs eventually leads to the subject of Don King. Don, like Mike, is something of an   enigma.   The difference between the two is that Don delights in being one; he likes keeping people a bit off balance all the time because it usually works to his advantage.”

“This is one of those gray areas that remain an   enigma   even to those who have finely honed business instincts. There are inexplicable signs that can guide you to or away from certain deals and certain people.”

“Dan Rather is an   enigma   to me. He’s got absolutely no talent or charisma or personality, yet year after year, CBS apologizes for his terrible ratings.”
