Trump calls Epstein birthday letter a 'dead issue'
- President Donald Trump called the controversy over the alleged birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein a "dead issue" during a phone interview in September 2025.
- The statement followed the House Oversight Committee's release of Epstein-related documents, including a 2003 birthday book featuring a naked woman drawing and a message purportedly signed by Trump.
- Trump and White House officials, including Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich, denied the message's authenticity, disputing the signature and calling the report a fake Wall Street Journal story.
- Trump initiated a $10 billion defamation suit targeting the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch over their reporting on the birthday letter, while also alleging that Democrats are pushing an "Epstein hoax" as a political attack against him.
- The ongoing dispute highlights Trump's long-term ties to Epstein before his 2019 arrest and suggests continued political fallout amid efforts to fully release Epstein investigation files.
