House Democrats post 2nd Epstein birthday book page referencing Trump [View all]

Source: Axios

10 hours ago


Democrats on the House Oversight Committee publicly posted on X another page from Jeffrey Epstein's birthday book that referred to President Trump.

The big picture: The post that features an image of Epstein holding a large check with the caption, "Epstein and a longtime Mar-a-Lago member joking about selling a 'fully depreciated' woman to Donald Trump for $22,500," came hours after they posted a doodle in the document containing the president's name — which he strongly denies any association with.
