Trump sued The Wall Street Journal for reporting on the letter over the summer, claiming it was a fake, but it was released on Monday by the House Oversight Committee after it received the book from Epstein’s estate.
“Trump claims he didn’t write this or draw this,” Kimmel said. “Which would mean someone went back in time to frame him for it.”
The letter has a silhouette of a woman’s torso, with two lines for breasts, and reads like the script of a dialogue between Trump and Epstein.
The letter mentions that Trump and Epstein have “certain things in common,” and includes Trump’s wish for Epstein that “every day be another wonderful secret.”
It ends with a signature that appears to be Trump’s.
“That is not a birthday note,” Kimmel declared. “That is a signed confession. That letter is so creepy it should have its own documentary series on Netflix.”
Epstein was arrested again in 2019 and died in custody of an apparent suicide while awaiting trial on allegations of trafficking underage girls and other charges.
