The White House has denied that an alleged letter from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein is authentic, asserting that the president did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it.

US lawmakers released the letter, which features a drawing of a woman's body, as part of a birthday book given to Epstein in 2003.

The book was part of a trove of documents released by a US House committee, which includes Epstein's will and a personal address book containing names of prominent figures.

The birthday book also features a message from Lord Peter Mandelson, the UK ambassador to the US, who called Epstein my best pal.

The House Oversight Committee previously issued a legal summons for documents related to Epstein's estate, contributing to ongoing pressures for transparency surrounding the investigations.

As more information surfaces, including Trump’s previous comments regarding Epstein and a legal dispute he has engaged in with the Wall Street Journal, the story continues to develop with significant public interest.
