Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released a sexually suggestive letter to Jeffrey Epstein purportedly signed by President Donald Trump, which he has denied. Trump has said he did not write the letter or create the drawing of a curvaceous woman that surrounds the letter. He filed a $10 billion lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal for a report on the alleged letter. The letter was included as part of a 2003 album compiled for alleged sex trafficker Epstein's birthday. The president has denied having anything to do with it. The White House did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

First lady Melania Trump is demanding that Hunter Biden retract comments linking her to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. She threatens to sue if he does not. Biden made the comments in an interview this month, claiming Epstein introduced Melania to Donald Trump. Melania Trump's lawyer, Alejandro Brito, calls the statements false and defamatory. Brito says the comments have been widely shared on social media, causing harm to the first lady's reputation. Biden attributed the claim to author Michael Wolff, whom Trump has criticized. The Trumps have long said they were introduced by a modeling agent in 1998.

A legal organization challenging President Donald Trump's administration on multiple fronts is suing the Justice Department and the FBI for records detailing their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation. Friday's lawsuit by the group Democracy Forward seeks records related to senior administration officials' communication about Epstein documents and any regarding correspondence between Epstein and Trump. Since Epstein's 2019 death in a New York jail cell as he awaited trial, conservative conspiracists have stoked theories about what information investigators gathered on the wealthy financier and who knew about his sexual abuse of teenage girls. The Republican president denies prior knowledge of Epstein's crimes and says he cut off their relationship long ago.
