Megyn Kelly Calls Alleged Trump-Epstein Letter "Dumbest Attempted Hit Piece" Amid WSJ Report

New York, NY – Conservative media personality Megyn Kelly has vehemently dismissed a recent Wall Street Journal report detailing an alleged "bawdy" birthday letter from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, labeling it "the dumbest attempted hit piece I’ve ever read." The critique, shared on social media, was echoed by Elon Musk, who stated, "Yeah, the letter sounds bogus."

The controversy erupted following the Wall Street Journal's publication of a report claiming that a 2003 birthday album for Jeffrey Epstein, compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell, contained a letter from Donald Trump. The Journal described the letter as featuring typewritten text within the outline of a naked woman, with Trump's signature "squiggly 'Donald' below her waist, mimicking pubic hair." The message reportedly included an imaginary dialogue between Trump and Epstein, concluding with "Happy Birthday – and may every day be another wonderful secret."

Donald Trump has strongly denied authoring the letter or drawing the image, telling the Wall Street Journal, "This is not me. This is a fake thing. It’s a fake Wall Street Journal story." He further asserted that he warned Rupert Murdoch, owner of the Journal's parent company NewsCorp, against publishing the story and intends to sue the publication. Trump stated on Truth Social that he personally informed Murdoch and the Journal's editor-in-chief Emma Tucker that the letter was "FAKE."

The report surfaces amidst ongoing scrutiny of the Justice Department's handling of Epstein-related documents and a broader public demand for transparency regarding the disgraced financier's connections. Trump has previously called the entire controversy "the Epstein Hoax" and has urged his supporters to move past the issue.

The alleged letter was reportedly part of documents reviewed by Justice Department officials during earlier investigations into Epstein and Maxwell. The Wall Street Journal noted that it was unclear whether these specific documents were part of the Trump administration's recent review of the Epstein case, which concluded there was no evidence of a client list or foul play in Epstein's death. Vice President JD Vance also defended Trump, tweeting, "Forgive my language but this story is complete and utter bullshit. The WSJ should be ashamed for publishing it."
