Related: About this forumBREAKING: Trump sent Epstein birthday letter reviewed by DOJ, Wall Street Journal reports - The Weeknight - MSNBC
The Wall Street Journal reveals Trump sent Epstein a bawdy birthday letter, framed by a nude sketch and ending with: Happy birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret. The letter was part of a birthday album assembled by Ghislaine Maxwell, portions of which were later reviewed by Justice Department officials during earlier probes into Epstein and Maxwell.
Trump denies writing the letter and calls the story fake. The Justice Department has not responded to the Wall Street Journal, and the FBI declined to comment. The Weeknight panel breaks it down. - Aired on 07/17/2025.

some evidence that something you did isn't on the up and up is getting boring.

If I remember correctly, and I do, Bob Guccione Jr. used to refer to DJT as a bottom feeder.

WSJ had to get it from somewhere.
My guess is that GM gave it to her legal counsel, to be released with her direction at a particular moment.
And the moment is now.
