Patel says he will investigate Trump claim that birthday note to Epstein is fake

FBI Director Kash Patel agreed to investigate the disputed birthday note amid congressional scrutiny and Trump's $20 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal.

  • Kash Patel, the FBI Director, has committed to investigating the authenticity of a 2003 birthday card purportedly signed by President Trump and addressed to Jeffrey Epstein.
  • The investigation follows the House Oversight Committee's public release of documents that include a leather-bound birthday album featuring a provocative sketch and an ambiguous note.
  • President Trump and the White House repeatedly denied the card's authenticity, calling it a fake document with a forged signature.
  • Congressman Jared Moskowitz claimed that a forged document bearing the president's signature was released, and Patel responded affirmatively to the possibility of investigating the matter.
  • The probe could clarify claims linking Trump to illicit activities via Epstein and responds to mounting Congressional pressure for full case file disclosure.
