Trump Denies Epstein Birthday Drawing, but Signature Matches Personal Letters - The New York Times

The White House has denied the authenticity of a lewd birthday message to Jeffrey Epstein with what appears to be Donald Trump's signature. However, a comparison of the signature on the birthday card with Trump's personal letters to New York City officials from 1987 to 2001 reveals a striking similarity, particularly in the long tail following the final 'd' in Trump's first name. The New York Times obtained copies of these letters from the official New York City archives, which suggest that Trump's signature on the Epstein birthday card may be genuine.
