Trump Team Slams Wall Street Journal Over Fake Epstein Letter

The Wall Street Journal’s latest attempt to smear President Donald Trump blew up in their faces this week, after they published what they claimed was a 2003 birthday letter from Trump to Jeffrey Epstein complete with a bizarre drawing of a nude woman and an alleged Trump signature.

The letter, which was allegedly handed over to Congress by Epstein’s estate, has no chain of custody, no authentication, and no credibility yet the corporate media jumped on it as if it were gospel.

President Trump and his team, however, aren’t playing along.

“The latest piece published by the Wall Street Journal PROVES this entire ‘Birthday Card’ story is false,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt declared on X. “President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it.”

Leavitt blasted the Journal’s journalist for publishing the article simultaneously with his request for comment, giving the Trump team zero opportunity to respond. She called the move a “hatchet job” and “FAKE NEWS to perpetuate the Democrat Epstein Hoax.”

Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich also pushed back hard, pointing out that the signature on the card doesn’t match President Trump’s real signature and noting that News Corp should prepare to open its checkbook for what’s shaping up to be a major defamation case.

This isn’t the first time Trump has gone to legal war with the Murdoch empire. In July, he filed a federal libel lawsuit against Dow Jones, News Corp, Rupert Murdoch, and two Wall Street Journal reporters, accusing them of defamation, assault, and slander over earlier reporting on this so-called “letter.”

“The Wall Street Journal, and Rupert Murdoch personally, were warned directly… that the supposed letter they printed… was a FAKE and, if they print it, they will be sued,” Trump said on Truth Social. “But, obviously, [Murdoch] did not have the power to do so.”

Even Vice President JD Vance weighed in, calling out the media’s convenient timing:

“The Democrats don’t care about Epstein. They don’t even care about his victims… The only thing they care about is concocting another fake scandal like Russiagate to smear President Trump with lies.”

He added, “No one is falling for this BS.” And he’s right.

Here are the facts the media won’t highlight:

• Trump cut ties with Epstein in 2004, after reportedly banning him from Mar-a-Lago.

• Trump has never been accused let alone charged in any of Epstein’s criminal actions.

• Epstein’s arrest and the majority of his known crimes came after his friendship with Trump had ended.

Meanwhile, Democrats stayed silent for years as Epstein networked with Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and others in elite circles. But now that Trump is leading in the polls, the Epstein file is suddenly relevant again not to seek justice, but to build another phony scandal.

What we’re witnessing is Russiagate 2.0: another baseless hit job designed to damage President Trump ahead of 2024.

The media’s obsession with Donald Trump isn’t journalism it’s opposition research for the Democratic Party.

And this time, Trump is fighting back not just in court, but in the court of public opinion.
