White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that "many forensic analyses" showed that President Donald Trump did not sign a birthday letter to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
During Tuesday's White House briefing, Leavitt was asked about a birthday note that House Democrats said Trump sent to Epstein. The note, which was first reported by The Wall Street Journal, included Trump's signature.
"About the Epstein case, would the White House support a professional handwriting expert review of the document released yesterday to prove that it's not the president's signature?" one reporter wondered at the briefing.
"Sure," Leavitt replied. "We would support that. And in fact, I have already seen many forensic analyses of signatures coming out."
The press secretary referred to one report from the Daily Signal, a fringe right-wing outlet, that she claimed had "three separate signature analysts who said that this absolutely was not the president's authentic signature."
"And we have maintained that position all along," Leavitt remarked. "The president did not write this letter."
"He did not sign this letter. And that's why the president's external legal team is aggressively pursuing litigation against The Wall Street Journal, and they will continue to."
A report by The New York Times determined that the signature on the Epstein letter was "similar" to other personal correspondence from Trump.
