What is happening?
FBI Director Kash Patel has confirmed he will open an investigation into a controversial birthday note allegedly written by Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein
The decision came during a tense House Oversight Committee hearing, where Rep. Jared Moskowitz pressed Patel on the matter.
The alleged note
The document in question, released by Epstein’s estate, features a sketch of a female figure alongside a message suggesting Trump and Epstein “have certain things in common.”
It’s allegedly signed by Trump—a claim the White House strongly denies.
White House: The signature is a forgery
White House officials have insisted the note is fake. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “It’s very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it.”
The administration maintains the signature is forged and has pledged legal action.
Patel reluctantly commits to inquiry
When Moskowitz asked Patel if he would investigate what he called a forged presidential signature, Patel hesitated.
But after the congressman emphasized the seriousness of forging a U.S. president’s name, Patel replied, “Sure, I’ll do it.”
GOP Chair dismisses handwriting expert proposal
House Oversight Chair James Comer rejected Democratic efforts to bring in a handwriting expert to verify the note.
He argued that the committee’s focus should remain on Epstein’s victims and any possible government involvement in the case.
Trump sues news paper
In response to a July article by The Wall Street Journal detailing the alleged note, Trump has filed a defamation lawsuit.
His legal team has vowed to pursue litigation aggressively, maintaining that the document is fabricated.
Trump labels Epstein transparency push a “Democrat hoax”
Trump has dismissed growing demands for transparency in the Epstein case as politically motivated.
“It’s really a Democrat hoax,” he told reporters, arguing that the focus is meant to distract from his accomplishments as president.

Meanwhile, pressure continues to build on Congress to release the full set of Epstein case documents.
Lawmakers from both parties are calling for answers, amid ongoing public concern over who may have been involved.
Questions swirl, but answers remain elusive
As legal battles and political debates continue, the mystery surrounding the Trump-Epstein birthday note reflects broader tensions in the search for truth in the Epstein case.
Whether the note is real or fake, its release has reignited scrutiny of a long-running scandal.
