Trump denies writing letter to Jeffrey Epstein with drawing of a naked woman

The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump was among dozens of associates who wrote Epstein a letter in 2003 to mark his 50th birthday. Trump said he will sue the newspaper.

President Donald Trump on Thursday denied writing a letter to Jeffrey Epstein more than two decades ago that reportedly included an outline of a naked woman and a "Donald" signature.

The denial came in response to a Wall Street Journal article that said Trump was among dozens of Epstein's associates enlisted by his then-confidant Ghislaine Maxwell to contribute to a collection of letters she planned to give him in a birthday album.

According to documents reviewed by the Journal, Trump’s letter featured several lines of typewritten text framed by what appeared to be a hand-drawn outline of a naked woman. The outline, according to the Journal, included details meant to depict the woman’s breast. Trump’s signature was drawn across the woman’s waist, meant to mimic the appearance of pubic hair.

NBC News has not independently verified or seen the letter.
