Trump's Name Is on Contributor List for Epstein Birthday Book

This is Lawrence's lead story tonight, so I thought I'd post the article on which it is pegged.

The big news is that the b'day book is coming out, one page at a time. As you probably know, the book is in the hands of attorneys in FL. "Other news organizations," according to Lawrence, have been working on getting the book and making it public. I assume one of those is the NY Times, which has this story.

This means we'll eventually get to see trump's lewd drawing, LOLOL. This is going to be great!

In addition, there is this news from this article: that trump wrote this note on the inside page of his ghost-written book, The Art of the Deal. Here's what it says: "Oct. 97 To Jeff, You are the greatest! Donald."

See a pic of the inscription:

President Trump’s name appeared on a contributor list for a book celebrating the 50th birthday of the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, evidence that he participated in the collection even as he denied that he signed a sexually suggestive note and drawing.

Mr. Trump’s name is listed among dozens of Mr. Epstein’s acquaintances who were asked to contribute birthday messages for the leather-bound book in 2003. The list, reviewed by The New York Times, includes well-known Epstein associates like Leslie H. Wexner, then the owner of Victoria’s Secret and other retailers; Alan C. Greenberg, who ran the doomed Wall Street firm Bear Stearns; and the physicist Murray Gell-Mann. Mr. Greenberg and Mr. Gell-Mann both have since died.

The Times also reviewed an introductory letter to the book, which was handwritten by Ghislaine Maxwell, Mr. Epstein’s longtime associate who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for conspiring to sexually traffic minors.
It is no secret that Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein were friendly in the 1990s and early 2000s, before Mr. Epstein was convicted of sex crimes in 2008. But facing intense criticism over his administration’s refusal to release files related to government investigations of Mr. Epstein, Mr. Trump recently has sought to play down the extent of their relationship.
