House Oversight Committee Democrats released a note allegedly signed by Donald Trump and given to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday. The White House vehemently denies the signature's authenticity, claiming it's a forgery. Trump previously dismissed the note as fake and is pursuing legal action against the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the story. The note, reportedly part of a birthday book compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell, reads "Happy Birthday - and may every day be another wonderful secret." The White House has presented counter-evidence, and the legal battle continues.
