The White House on Monday refuted allegations that President Donald Trump penned a birthday card to Jeffrey Epstein decades ago and said that it would “continue to aggressively pursue litigation” against The Wall Street Journal.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee said that the Epstein estate released the card to them, and the Wall Street Journal published the alleged card online. The Wall Street Journal had first reported in July on Trump’s inclusion in a birthday book for Epstein.
