Exclusive | Jeffrey Epsteinโ€™s Friends Sent Him Bawdy Letters for a 50th Birthday Album. One Was From Donald Trump. The leather-bound book was compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell. The president says the letter โ€˜is a fake thing.โ€™

Everyone in America needs to read this FREEโ€”Iโ€™ve gifted it belowโ€”report from the conservative WALL STREET JOURNAL about Trump and Epstein.

Apparently the president has now threatened to sue the WSJ over this 100% accurate report due to how damaging it is.
