WASHINGTON, DC: A member of the Mar-a-Lago Club made a crude joke about s*x offender Jeffrey Epstein selling President Donald Trump a "fully depreciated" woman for $22,500 back in 2003, a new report revealed.

Members of the House Oversight Committee received a copy of a birthday book on Monday, September 8, that had been put together for Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003. The book included a bizarre birthday message Trump reportedly sent to the disgraced financier, which the president has denied penning.



 

Mar-a-Lago member said 'I didn’t get any of the money on the girl!'

Jeffrey Epstein’s birthday book reportedly included contributions from former President Bill Clinton, billionaire investor Leon Black, and a letter written by Mar-a-Lago member Joel Pashcow joking about the s*x offender selling Donald Trump a woman.

The letter, published by The Wall Street Journal, read: “Jeffrey showing early talents with money + women! Sells ‘fully depreciated’ [redacted] to Donald Trump for $22,500. Showed early ‘people skills’ too. Even though I handled the deal I didn’t get any of the money on the girl!” The letter also featured a photo of Epstein and others holding up a giant fake check, purportedly from Trump to Epstein for $22,500.

The woman’s name was redacted in the letter, and she was reportedly someone Trump and Epstein “socialized with in the 1990s,” the Journal stated, citing unnamed sources “familiar with the matter.”

Moreover, the woman’s lawyer told the outlet that their client had no knowledge of the letter and did not know Pashcow. Meanwhile, the president is currently suing the Wall Street Journal over its reporting on his alleged birthday letter to Epstein, claiming the document was fake.

The White House insisted that Trump was not responsible for signing the letter or for drawing the figure of a naked woman, after the Journal published a photo of it.

House committee releases image of apparent Trump birthday note

On September 8, House Democrats released an image of a s*xually suggestive letter and drawing that appeared to bear the signature of Donald Trump.

It is the same note that the president has denied writing, after reports of its existence were published a few months ago in the Wall Street Journal.

The image consisted of a letter that matched the description in the Journal’s July report. Inside a sketch of a woman’s torso, the note depicted an imagined conversation between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, with what appeared to be Trump’s signature below.



 

Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the panel, said in a statement, “The Oversight Committee has secured the infamous ‘Birthday Book’ that contains a note from President Trump that he has said does not exist. It’s time for the president to tell us the truth about what he knew and release all the Epstein files.”



 

Meanwhile, Taylor Budowich, deputy chief of staff for communications, suggested in a post on X that the letter or the signature had been falsified. “Time for News Corp to open that check book, it’s not his signature. DEFAMATION!” Budowich wrote.
