The Spin
Democratic narrative
This letter proves Trump misled the American people about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. When the Wall Street Journal reported it in July, Trump called it "a fake thing" and sued for $10 billion, while MAGA allies dismissed it as a hoax. Thanks to sustained pressure from House Democrats, the Oversight Committee has now brought the letter to light — the note Trump denied exists — showing him writing about sharing "wonderful secrets" with a convicted sex trafficker. The cover-up is over. Release the full Epstein files now.
Republican narrative
The alleged Epstein letter — which looks nothing like President Trump's actual signature — is a fake designed to smear him. Democrats leaked the 2003 Birthday Book, cherry-picking what they believed was damaging, while ignoring the full trove of files released by the Oversight Committee. Republicans note the card attributed to Trump was likely falsified, and the complete documents — including Epstein's will, his sweetheart plea deal from the Florida prosecution, and his address book — provide the broader context ignored in the partisan leaks.
