As allegations over Donald Trump‘s relationship with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein escalate, the latest report claims that the president’s name appears in a list of contributors for a 50th birthday book to Epstein and that in another book, a copy of Trump: The Art of the Comeback, Trump left Epstein a flattering note.
On Thursday, The New York Times alleged that among a list of Epstein associates asked to contribute birthday messages to the book, Trump’s name appeared among the likes of Victoria’s Secret owner Leslie H. Wexner and Alan C. Greenberg, CEO of the failed Wall Street investment bank Bear Stearns.
The Wall Street Journal also reported this week that Bill Clinton, billionaire Leon Black, and fashion designer Vera Wang were among five dozen contributors to the 2003 book.
The Times report arrives a week after The Journal dropped a bombshell report claiming Trump wrote a birthday letter to Epstein in the early 2000s in which the future president, addressing the future convicted sex offender, wrote that “we have certain things in common.” The Journal alleged that the letter signed with Trump’s name was outlined by a drawing of a naked woman. Trump has vehemently denied that he wrote the letter and claimed that he doesn’t “draw pictures,” despite having a well-documented history of drawing pictures for charity events.
In the Times report published Thursday, the newspaper also claimed that Trump once addressed Epstein in a note left in a copy of his book, Trump: The Art of the Comeback, that belonged to Epstein. The inscription was allegedly signed “Donald,” dated the month the book released, “Oct ’97,” and praised Epstein: “To Jeff — You are the greatest!”
While Trump continues to deny the mounting allegations against him, The Journal reported on Wednesday that the Justice Department told the president that his name appears multiple times in the government’s files related to the convicted sex offender.
A recent South Park episode took a jab at the president’s alleged relationship with Epstein, attacked his “teeny tiny” manhood and depicted him as literally in bed with the devil. The White House has been raging since it aired. “Just like the creators of South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows. This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention,” Trump White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Rolling Stone in a statement Thursday morning. President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history — and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak.”
