The report claims that Trump wrote a birthday letter with a drawing of a nude female body to Epstein in 2003. Trump has denied the allegations,calling the story &#8220;false,malicious,and defamatory,&#8221; and has filed a lawsuit against WSJ owner Rupert Murdoch and Dow Jones &#038; Co. <\/p>\n<p>Journalist Salena Zito, appearing on blazetv, expressed skepticism about the report, stating she did not believe it and arguing that the purported signature and drawing did not seem authentic or consistent with Trump&#8217;s behavior. She highlighted Trump&#8217;s recent political achievements and questioned the intentions behind the WSJ story, suggesting it was an attempt to hinder Trump&#8217;s success.<\/p>\n<p>Tesla CEO Elon Musk also voiced doubts publicly on social media, saying the report &#8220;doesn&#8217;t sound like something Trump would say.&#8221; Meanwhile, there is speculation that this story may be part of a broader effort against Trump, especially as political tensions rise.
