  • Yesterday, our colleague Khadija Safdar broke a story about a book of letters.

  • The book was a gift for Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex offender.

  • I discovered that there was a birthday book that was given to Epstein for his 50th birthday that Guylaine Maxwell had compiled it.

  • And it contained poems, pictures, drawings, and letters from Epstein's family and friends.

  • And among those were some powerful people.

  • And there was like dozens of associates in this book.

  • The leather-bound book of letters was from 2003, before Epstein was first arrested in 2006.

  • One of the letters was from now President Donald Trump.

  • There was a letter in the book and it had Trump's signature on it and several lines of typewritten text.

  • And then around that text was an outline of a naked woman.

  • And it looked like it had been drawn almost like with a Sharpie.

  • And then in the midst of the text,

  • like there was two small arcs that showed what appeared to be like the woman's breasts.

  • And on the bottom was Trump's signature, but just the first name, Donald.

  • The future president's signature was written below the woman's waist.

  • a squiggle mimicking pubic hair.

  • The text itself was like this fictitious conversation between Donald and Jeffrey.

  • What did it say?

  • It started voiceover.

  • There must be more to life than having everything.
