The White House press office forcefully rejected claims Monday that President Donald Trump wrote or signed a birthday card allegedly linked to Jeffrey Epstein.

The document surfaced as part of material turned over to the U.S. House Oversight Committee in response to a subpoena.

The card, first reported by the Wall Street Journal in July, was described as a crude drawing of a naked woman paired with an imagined dialogue between Trump and Epstein.

The Journal alleged the card was among entries in a book compiled for Epstein’s 50th birthday.

President Trump has denied any connection to the document, calling it “fake” and stating that he does not “do drawings” in correspondence.

A copy of the card was delivered to House investigators on Monday.

Shortly after, the document was posted on X, where observers quickly noted that the signature attributed to Trump did not match the distinctive autograph that has appeared on presidential documents, letters, and legislation.

Taylor Budowich, White House Deputy Chief of Staff, wrote in a post on X: “Time for @newscorp to open that checkbook, it’s not his signature. DEFAMATION!”

Budowich’s comment referenced Trump’s $10 million lawsuit filed against News Corp, parent company of the Wall Street Journal, and its founder Rupert Murdoch, over the original report.

The U.S. House Oversight Committee, chaired by Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., issued subpoenas in August to Epstein’s estate seeking a wide range of records.

Those included flight logs, visitor lists, financial accounts, and communications, along with all unredacted versions of Epstein’s so-called “birthday book.”

“It is our understanding that the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein is in custody and control of documents that may further the Committee’s investigation and legislative goals. Further, it is our understanding the Estate is ready and willing to provide these documents to the Committee pursuant to a subpoena,” Comer said Monday in a statement provided to ABC News.

Dow Jones, the Journal’s parent company, responded that it stands by its reporting.

“We have full confidence in the rigor and accuracy of our journalism and will vigorously defend against any lawsuit,” the company said in a statement.

Ghislaine Maxwell, who compiled the birthday book for Epstein, was questioned by authorities in August.

When asked whether Trump had contributed to the book, Maxwell said she could not recall.

Her remarks came during an interview with Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche. Maxwell, convicted in 2021 of sex trafficking and other charges related to Epstein, has maintained her innocence and is currently appealing her case.

The Oversight Committee confirmed Monday that the Epstein estate has begun producing records in response to its subpoena.

While some documents have been shared with lawmakers, it remains unclear which materials will be made public.

The renewed focus on Epstein’s files comes as congressional Republicans and Trump allies press for further disclosures about the scope of Epstein’s activities and his ties to prominent figures.

Epstein died in federal custody in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Committee staff are currently reviewing the newly delivered documents.

Lawmakers have said they expect additional records to be released in the coming weeks.
