‘Democrat Epstein Hoax!’: Karoline Leavitt says Trump still suing Rupert Murdoch for $10bn, Epstein birthday book all a lie

The Epstein can of worms has been opened, and the disgusting, slimy creatures are crawling all over the place. Speaking of “disgusting, slimy creatures”, let’s head over to the White House, where the Trump administration is currently in meltdown over the fabled Jeffrey Epstein birthday book being released in full.

Back in July, the Wall Street Journal’s description of Donald Trump‘s 50th birthday message to Jeffrey Epstein was nauseating enough. Now we have the image of the message itself, and it’s somehow much much worse, as what was previously described as a “drawing of a naked woman” looks very much like the nude body of an underage girl.

In other circumstances, you might charitably conclude that Trump’s image simply shows a small-breasted woman. However, given that it’s a birthday message to Jeffrey Epstein – internationally renowned pedophile and a prolific predator of underage teenage girls – that being some crazy coincidence is hard to believe

So, how is the White House responding? Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was soon on the case, calling it “false”, a “hatchet job”, and “FAKE NEWS”:

“It’s very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it.”

Is it though? Is it really Karoline? Because it really does look like he did sign it – and his signatures from around this time look identical. I guess we’ll just have to see how well yelling “please disperse, nothing to see here!” while a fireworks factory explodes behind you works out.

Not a great day for Trump’s lawyers

Leavitt also underlined that, “President Trump’s legal team will continue to aggressively pursue litigation.” This references Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), its parent company News Corp., publisher Dow Jones, owner Rupert Murdoch, and reporters Joe Palazzolo and Khadeeja Safdar.

Trump yelled that the birthday note is “fake” and “nonexistent”, a legal position considerably undermined by it very much appearing to be real and also existing. But maintaining this ridiculous lawsuit isn’t about actually winning, the tactic is to try and muddy the waters so that his supporters have something – anything – to cling to so they can believe they haven’t spent years boosting a man up to his eyeballs in Epstein’s sick crimes.

In reality, Trump and his lawyers will do everything they possibly can to delay or prevent this lawsuit from ever going to court, as the Wall Street Journal has clearly done their due diligence on this story, and the last thing the White House needs is a judge ruling “duh, this is definitely real”.
