  • White House denies that Trump wrote Epstein letter and calls investigation a Democrat ‘hoax’ – live

    White House press secretary denies that president wrote Epstein a card that included the outline of a woman’s body for the sex trafficker’s 50th birthdayPhoto of novelty check suggests Epstein ‘sold’ Trump a womanJeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday book – in picturesMy colleague, Oliver Holmes, has been going through the Jeffrey Epstein 50th birthday album that House Democrats on the oversight committee released on Monday, after they subpoenaed Epstein’s estate.As Oliver notes, much of the book seems to be a collection of flattering and celebratory letters – often highly sexualised – from people who knew Epstein. They include photos of him embracing women in bikinis whose faces were redacted, and others showing scenes featuring wild animals having sex.Bill Clinton, who had left the US presidency a couple years before the publication of the book, is listed in the “friends” section.Peter Mandelson, the current UK ambassador to the United States, called Epstein his “best pal”. There are also photographs in the book which show Mandelson in shorts gazing from a balcony and in a white dressing gown laughing with Epstein.One of the most striking images in the collection is a drawing of Epstein handing young girls balloons and a lollipop in 1983, alongside another drawing of him 20 years later, receiving a massage from topless women in 2003.

  • Photo of novelty check suggests Epstein ‘sold’ Trump a woman for $22,500

    Convicted sex offender appears in birthday scrapbook photo with giant check signed by ‘DJ Trump’US politics live – latest updatesA scrapbook for Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday released on Monday contains a photo of him holding a novelty check bearing Donald Trump’s signature, along with a note suggesting Epstein “sold” him a woman for $22,500, shedding further light on the longtime relationship between the president and the convicted sex offender.The photo shows Epstein and Joel Pashcow, a longtime member of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, and a third figure, apparently a woman, whose face is redacted in the image, which was shared on social media by Democrats on the House oversight committee.

  • What is the truth about Trump and Epstein? The story keeps getting murkier ... | Arwa Mahdawi

    Whatever happened between the pair, questions about their relationship are not going away. This enigma is ageing like raw milkYou have to keep this hush-hush, OK? I have top-secret information to share. You know Donald Trump has been reluctant to release the Epstein files? Well, it’s not because there’s anything nefarious going on. Trump may be an adjudicated sexual predator accused of sexual misconduct by at least 27 women (all of which he denies), who publicly boasted in 2002 about how his “terrific” pal Jeffrey Epstein liked women “on the younger side”, but you shouldn’t read too much into all that. Nor should you overanalyse a Wall Street Journal report claiming White House officials told Trump in May that his name appeared multiple times in the files. Or that House Democrats have now released a sexually suggestive letter and drawing sent to Epstein in 2003 for his birthday that appears to show Trump’s signature, the same note the president has denied writing. Nor should you worry yourself with the photo that has been released showing Epstein holding a novelty check signed by Trump with the suggestion that Epstein “sold” him a woman for $22,500.No, the real reason Trump is being weird about Epstein is … drum roll, please … because the president may or may not have been covertly operating as an FBI informant and investigating the disgraced financier.
