A report about a birthday letter allegedly sent by President Trump to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003 has gained significant attention, achieving 4.4 million page views. The letter allegedly included a lewd drawing and questionable content, sparking Trump's denial and a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal. The backlash complicates Trump's narrative regarding Epstein and has drawn attention from Congress. Trump's attempts to influence the Journal's editor to retract the story were unsuccessful, increasing her support among staff.
The July 17 piece, headlined Jeffrey Epstein's Friends Sent Him Bawdy Letters for a 50th Birthday Album. One Was From Donald Trump, has racked up 4.4 million page views and 3.3 million unique readers.
The story described a birthday letter allegedly penned by Trump for Epstein that included a hand-drawn outline of a naked woman and signed Donald with the name placed to resemble pubic hair.
Trump has called the letter fake and is now suing the Journal, parent company News Corp, owner Rupert Murdoch, and the reporters for defamation, seeking $10 billion.
Sources say Trump personally phoned the Journal's editor-in-chief Emma Tucker in a bid to kill the piece. She didn't budge, winning her a new fan base from staff.
