'It's a dead issue': Trump declines to comment on alleged Epstein letter [View all]

President Donald Trump declined to comment on the letter he allegedly signed for Jeffrey Epstein's 50th "birthday book" in 2003, calling it a "dead issue" when asked by NBC News.

"I don't comment on something that's a dead issue. I gave all comments to the staff. It's a dead issue," Trump said on Tuesday morning, according to NBC News.

On Monday, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released an image of the birthday message allegedly sent by Trump, after the panel received documents and communications from Epstein's estate.

Trump's denied writing the letter, calling it "fake" after the Wall Street Journal first reported on the alleged birthday book and the contribution from Trump in mid-July. Trump also filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the newspaper. Dow Jones, the parent company of the Journal, said it has full confidence in the accuracy of the reporting.
