Jeffrey Epstein’s estate handed over Epstein’s birthday book and other documents to the House Oversight Committee… and it’s worse than we thought.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Trump’s letter in July, describing it as, “several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker… and the future president’s signature is a squiggly “Donald” below her waist, mimicking pubic hair.”
They only got one thing wrong. It wasn’t a woman — it’s an outline of a girl.
When the article first came out, Trump, JD Vance, and others in the admin all argued it was fake and it didn’t exist — Trump even sued. Now, it’s clear that the letter did exist — and that Donald Trump is a pedophile.
Trump has argued that it’s not his signature, that it was forged, and that the document is a fake. But for that to be true, it would’ve had to have been forged around 30 years ago, along with another letter in which Trump is mentioned.
Another longtime Epstein associate and Mar-a-Lago member wrote a letter that says Epstein sold a ‘fully depreciated’ woman to Donald Trump. Even worse, they seem to have joked about selling Trump a sex slave enough to create props about the joke — above the letter, there’s a photo of Epstein and the associate and two others that are redacted holding a large mock check for $22,500. The check was made out to Epstein from Trump.
If the Epstein birthday book is a bunch of pedophiles joking and giggling about being pedophiles, I can’t imagine what’s in the rest of the files (nor do I want to) — but they must be released for transparency, and for survivors seeking justice.
Rep. Thomas Massie, who has been relentless in his pursuit of a full release of the Epstein files with Rep. Ro Khanna, already dropped one name from the files last week.
John Paulson, a billionaire hedge fund manager with an estimated net worth of $4 billion and one of the ‘most prominent names in high finance’ was named by Massie on live TV — and he’s one of Donald Trump’s largest supporters. In addition to giving Trump $831,370 during his 2020 campaign and hosting a fundraiser at his home that raised $50.5 million during Trump’s 2024 campaign, Paulson has also spent millions on ads attacking Massie in his home district since Massie came out in favor of releasing the files.
Massie alluded to this when he released Paulson’s name, saying, “He is a major donor to the Republican party, a major donor to the Speaker of the House, a major donor to the President’s campaign and he is in Epstein’s black book. That is indicative of the types of people who may be implicated or embarrassed by a complete release of these files.”
Trump was reportedly considering Paulson for Treasury Secretary, but Paulson took himself out of the running, citing ‘complex financial obligations.’ So basically, Donald Trump is definitely all over those files, and:

Unclear how literal this is, but it indicates, attitudinally anyway, what Trump’s circle thought of women.
Paulson withdrawal from Treasury Secretary is probably because he didn't want to go through the vetting process.
