Trump Signature on Epstein-Linked Documents Faces Scrutiny
Washington, D.C.- September 10, 2025, 02:11:46 AM EDT – fresh questions are emerging regarding Donald Trump’s potential authorship of documents connected to the late Jeffrey Epstein, including a health letter previously revealed in July and a newly publicized check. Democrats released a photograph Monday showing Epstein alongside individuals and a $22,500 check bearing the signature “DJTRUMP,” alongside text referencing the “sale” of a “fully devalued” woman. Simultaneously, the New york Times published several letters signed by Trump dating from the late 1990s or early 2000s, prompting comparisons to the signature on a 2003 letter linked to Epstein.
The surfacing of these documents intensifies scrutiny of Trump’s past associations with Epstein, a convicted sex offender, and fuels ongoing debate about the extent of those connections. The controversy arrives at a sensitive moment for the former president, as he navigates a landscape of persistent conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein’s death and potential involvement of prominent figures. The authenticity of the signatures is now central to the unfolding narrative, with potential legal and political ramifications.
The newly released photograph depicts Epstein holding the check, which is made out to an unidentified recipient. Accompanying text on the check alludes to a disturbing transaction. Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for Trump, vehemently denied the authenticity of the check’s signature, stating, “This is not the signature of Donald Trump. Absolutely not. The president has not signed this check.”
The New York Times‘ publication of older Trump-signed letters was intended to provide a comparative analysis of his signature, highlighting perceived discrepancies between those examples and the signature on the check and the 2003 letter. The Epstein affair has been a recurring source of controversy for Trump, notably among his supporters, many of whom subscribe to theories suggesting Epstein was murdered to silence him and protect others.
