FBI signature expert doubts Trump personally signed letter to Epstein: ‘Highly unlikely’

The retired FBI agent whom the bureau relied on for decades to analyze handwritten signatures in cases ranging from financial ripoffs to Russian spies is casting serious doubt that President Donald Trump hand-signed a two-decade-old birthday letter to the late Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting the first-name-only signature may have been artificially affixed.

Wayne Barnes, widely regarded as one of the nation’s premier signature experts, analyzed the Trump signature at the request of Just the News after the House Oversight Committee released a photocopy of the letter in Epstein’s 50th birthday book from the early 2000s.

Democrats immediately pounced on the revelation even though the president has adamantly denied writing or signing the letter, which has a sexually suggestive message imposed over a sketch of a woman’s body.

The paper itself upon which the signature was placed was a giveaway 

Barnes wrote in a detailed analysis report for Just the News that the signature appears similar to ones in letters that Trump signed for personal friends over the years when using only his first name. But the expert said he noticed a stunning clue when looking at the copy released by Congress and other personal letters: the coloration of the paper.

“Whoever created the dialogue page seems to have put a good deal of thought into it, but something was overlooked,” Barnes wrote. “By far, the pages where Mr. Trump signs with his first name only, are outgoing letters where there is some coloration to the paper used. It is off-white or yellow-to-beige, but it never seems to be white.

“That means that if someone cut out an appliqué of the ‘Donald’ signature and tried to affix (paste or tape) it to a piece of white paper, the difference in color around the ‘Donald’ would stand out. So, the colored paper had to be photocopied onto a white page, so the trimming around the signature could take place and not be observed because of a different tone of the paper,” he wrote. 

“This would mean that the ultimate color of the target paper used, on which to place the applique, would also have to be white, which is the case with the dialogue page in the birthday book,” he added.

EPSTEIN CURSE IN THE UK: Fired US Ambassador Lord Peter Mandelson Is Ousted From His Own Lobbying Firm, Loses University of Manchester Honors

A reduced version of Prince Andrew’s fall from grace is ongoing with Mandelson.

Like we have been reporting here on TGP since December 2024, the long and close relationship between Labour peer Lord Peter Mandelson and the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein made him a very poor choice for a British Ambassador to the US – not to talk about his reportedly shady EU and China ties.

In January, reports arose of pushback on the part of the Donald J. Trump administration, who much preferred Dame Karen Pierce as the Washington envoy.

These reports have partially been confirmed since Trump invited Pierce to a state banquet during his upcoming UK state visit – and not Mandelson.

Revealed: 100 new Epstein emails ‘that could destroy’ Prince Andrew: Cache of ‘devastating’ messages between the Duke and convicted paedophile unearthed in US probe

Prince Andrew could be ‘destroyed’ by a cache of more than 100 secret emails contained in the Epstein Files, The Mail on Sunday has been told.

Multiple well-placed sources have revealed that potentially ‘incriminating’ emails between the Duke of York and the convicted paedophile are contained in hundreds of thousands of documents currently being reviewed by the US Congress before they are made public.

One source said: ‘If you think what’s happened to Peter Mandelson is bad then you have no idea what will happen when the Andrew emails are released. They are embarrassing and incriminating and he could be destroyed.’

Lord Mandelson was fired as British ambassador to Washington last week after a string of embarrassing emails between himself and Epstein were released. 

In one, ‘Petie’ urged the billionaire to fight back against his conviction for soliciting a child for prostitution. 

David Boies, the high-powered lawyer who represented Andrew’s accuser Virginia Giuffre, says he believes there is enough evidence to open a criminal investigation into the prince.

Andrew vehemently and consistently denied Ms Giuffre’s claims that she was sex-trafficked to him by Epstein. 

In 2022, the duke reached a reported £12 million civil settlement with Ms Giuffre – who committed suicide earlier this year – with no admission of guilt.

Several embarrassing emails between Andrew and Epstein have already been revealed in legal papers over the years, including one in which the prince said: ‘Keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!’

That email, from February 2011, was unearthed in court documents from a case brought by the Financial Conduct Authority against Epstein’s personal banker Jes Staley.

Legal documents said the email was sent ‘by a member of the British Royal Family’, which the BBC and others widely reported was Prince Andrew.

When Ms Giuffre, previously known as Virginia Roberts, first made claims against the duke he fired off an email to his close friend Ghislaine Maxwell, who was subsequently jailed for her role as a child sex trafficker for Epstein. 

In the message, sent on January 3, 2015, he said: ‘Let me know when we can talk. Got some specific questions to ask you about Virginia Roberts.’

Maxwell replied: ‘Have some info. Call me when you have a moment.’

The MoS understands that there are ‘at least’ 100 emails involving Andrew contained within the Epstein files. 

Some come from an account with Pipex, one of the UK’s first commercial internet providers. That email address is listed alongside multiple phone numbers for the duke found in Epstein’s infamous ‘little black book’.

Epstein’s Inbox Lays Out Gift Networks, PR Tactics, And Strange Habits

Nearly two weeks ago the House Oversight Committee released a trove of emails related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Today Bloomberg revealed they have obtained over 18,000 more – and dedicated a fleet of journalists to sift through them – with what we imagine was an effort to find dirt on President Donald Trump. 

And while mentions of Trump are scant, the emails reveal a vast network of gifts spanning Epstein victims, recruiters, and associates. 

Trump Stuff

Donald Trump is mentioned a few times in the cache; he appears alongside Epstein and Maxwell at Mar-a-Lago in 2000, and in a 2003 New York Magazine–described dinner Maxwell arranged at Epstein’s townhouse with “barely clad models”; in a Sept. 14, 2006 email in which Maxwell sends Epstein a 51-name VIP list that includes Trump – to which Epstein replies “Remove trump,” with the list’s purpose unclear. On Aug. 23, 2007 Maxwell writes to Epstein that reporters likely “went to donald trump” as the Epstein investigation into his sex crimes intensified.

And there’s one message recounting Trump and Epstein’s real-estate rivalry over Abe Gosman’s former mansion (which Trump ultimately bought). 

The correspondence, most active from 2005 to 2008, includes a 2007 accountant’s spreadsheet itemizing nearly 2,000 gifts, purchases and payments totaling about $1.8 million. Many entries bear Maxwell’s initials, “GM,” indicating she helped arrange them. The records log intended recipients ranging from political aides and financiers to assistants and women who later identified as victims. The spreadsheet does not confirm whether gifts were actually delivered or accepted.

The emails also show Maxwell’s role was broader than she has publicly claimed.

Senate Republicans defeat Democrats’ effort to force the release of Epstein files

In a close vote, Senate Republicans defeated an effort Wednesday by Democrats to insert language into Congress’ annual defense authorization bill that would have forced the public release of case files on the sex trafficking investigation into the late Jeffrey Epstein.

The Senate voted 51-49 to dismiss the changes to the bill, with Republican Sens. Josh Hawley of Missouri and Rand Paul of Kentucky joining with all Democrats in opposition.

For months, Democrats have clamored for the release of what’s become known as the Epstein files, looking for practically every opportunity to force Republicans to either join their push for disclosure or publicly oppose a cause that many in the Republican base support. President Donald Trump signaled as he was running for president that he was open to releasing a full accounting of the case, but is now trying to dismiss the push as a “Democrat hoax.”

So far, Democrats have been successful in forcing Republican leadership to grapple with the issue, yet it was unclear whether they would actually be able to crack Trump’s hold on congressional Republicans to force legislation through Congress.

FBI Official FIRED, Escorted Out of Building After Leaked Audio Released of Him Claiming “There’s Something Being Covered Up” in Epstein Case – “A Lot of Powerful Democrats” Are on Epstein List

The O’Keefe Media Group on Monday released leaked audio of Mitch Rosas, an FBI Senior Paralegal Specialist, confessing there is “something” being covered up in the Epstein case.

Rosas also said the FBI won’t release all Epstein files until “this Administration is over.” He also suggested a lot of powerful Democrats are on the Epstein client list.

“None of the people that are in a position to answer the questions are willing to do it because it’s clear that they’re covering something and protecting someone or some people,” Rosas said.

Rosas was fired on Monday and escorted out of the FBI building.

Per James O’Keefe:

“The individual Mitchell Reyes Rosas has been dismissed/fired as of today, Rosas was escorted from the FBI building earlier.”

Rosas, the FBI official, also sent OMG a message trying to stop the publication of this damning audio on Epstein.

“I am not a government official and was not speaking on behalf of anyone but myself. I was not informed the conversation was on the record. The transcript you reference is a fabrication and does not reflect what I said. I do not consent to publication. Any portrayal otherwise would be false, misleading, and damaging.
I reserve all legal rights and remedies, including defamation, false light, and intrusion upon seclusion. Do not publish. l will be represented by counsel.”

Bill Clinton’s Creepy Birthday Letter to Jeffrey Epstein Revealed After Wall Street Journal Leaks Alleged Trump Letter to the Deceased P*dophile

A certain former president and longtime friend of Jeffrey Epstein is back in the spotlight after the Fake News Media tried to once again smear President Trump regarding his ties to the deceased p*dophile.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released the first batch of documents from Epstein’s estate on Monday afternoon.

Included in the documents received was the birthday book compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell for Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday; the last will and testament of Epstein immediately preceding August 8, 2019; the September 24, 2007 non-prosecution agreement between the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida and Epstein; entries from Epstein’s address/contact books from January 1, 1990 through August 10, 2019; and information about Epstein’s known bank accounts.

The disgraced Wall Street Journal also leaked a supposed sexually suggestive letter from Trump to Epstein that the President allegedly signed. But many conservatives and the White House have pointed out that Trump’s actual signature looks different.

Now, Fox News reports that the House Oversight Committee has released another batch of files, including a message from former Clinton in the Epstein “birthday book.” In the letter, Clinton hails their friendship and Epstein’s “childlike curiosity.”

Considering Epstein’s sick predilection toward minors, that’s definitely an interesting and creepy choice of words from Clinton.

“Go Talk To Bill Gates About Me”: How JP Morgan Enabled Jeffrey Epstein’s Crimes, Snagged Netanyahu Meeting

On an autumn day in 2011, Jeffrey Epstein stepped into JPMorgan Chase’s headquarters at 270 Park Avenue and rode the elevator to the executive floors where the bank’s leaders, including Chief Executive Jamie Dimon, kept their offices. Epstein, who had pleaded guilty to a sex crime in Florida three years earlier, had a message for the bank’s top lawyer, Stephen Cutler: he had “turned over a new leaf,” he said, and powerful friends could vouch for him. “Go talk to Bill Gates about me.”

Key takeaways:

  • Epstein was connected to Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, not just former PM Ehud Barak
  • He wired ‘hundreds of millions of dollars in payments to Russian banks and young Eastern European women‘
  • Accounts for young women were opened without in-person verification (in one case a SSN could not be confirmed)
  • Jes Staley was constantly running interference for Epstein vs. JPM compliance concerns
    • At Jes Staley’s urging, compliance spoke with Epstein’s lawyer Ken Starr, who insisted “no crimes” had been committed. 
  • Epstein had accounts at JPM for at least 134 (!) entities
  • JPMorgan funded/serviced pieces tied to Ghislaine Maxwell (millions, incl. $7.4M for a Sikorsky helicopter) and helped finance MC2, the modeling agency linked to Jean-Luc Brunel.

For more than a decade, JPMorgan Chase processed over $1 billion in transactions for Jeffrey Epstein – including hundreds of millions routed to Russian banks and payments to young Eastern European women, opened at least 134 accounts tied to him and his associates, and even helped move millions to Ghislaine Maxwell – including $7.4 million for a Sikorsky helicopter – while anti–money laundering staff repeatedly flagged large cash withdrawals and wire patterns aligned with known trafficking indicators, according to a new report from the NY Times following a six-year investigation that involved “some 13,000 pages” of legal and financial records. Funny how they sat on this until now – maybe it’s related to this, but do read on.

Rep. James Comer Slams Dems for ‘Cherry-Picking’ Epstein Docs to Target Trump – House Oversight Committee Releases All Documents and Records Received From Late Pedophile’s Estate

Dems tried to leak bits of information, now the Oversight Committee has released it all.

Absolutely no one is surprised that the Democrats in the House Oversight Committee would selectively choose materials from the first batch of documents and records sent by the Jeffrey Epstein estate, and try to make a show out of it.

After the Democrats leaked the 2003 Epstein Birthday Book, where there is a patently fake card attributed to Trump, and tried to turn it into a big scandal, the Committee Chairman James Comer lambasted them on social media.

The Republican representative from Kentucky called it ‘appalling’ that Oversight Democrats are ‘cherry-picking documents and politicizing information received from the Epstein Estate today’.

Speaker Johnson Clarifies Comments Claiming Trump Was “An FBI Informant” in Epstein Case

Speaker Mike Johnson appeared to walk back his statements on Trump working as an FBI informant in the Epstein case.

Last week CNN reporter Manu Raju asked Speaker Johnson why President Trump keeps calling the Epstein case a hoax.

“What he’s talking about is the Democrats who are doing this with impure motives. If they cared so much about this, why didn’t they do something during the four years of the Biden administration when the Biden DOJ had all the records,” Johnson said to reporters on Thursday.

Johnson: What Trump is referring to is the hoax that the Democrats are using to try to attack him. He has never said or suggested or implied— I’ve talked to him about this many times, many times. He is horrified. It’s been misrepresented. He’s not saying that what Epstein did is a hoax. It’s a terrible, unspeakable evil. He believes that himself.

When he first heard the rumor, he kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago. He was an FBI informant to try to take this stuff down. The president knows and has great sympathy for the women who have suffered these unspeakable harms. It’s detestable to him. He and I have spoken about this as recently as 24 hours ago. What he’s talking about is the Democrats who are doing this with impure motives. If they cared so much about this, why didn’t they do something during the four years of the Biden administration when the Biden DOJ had all the records. They didn’t say a word about it. Now, they’re doing it for political purposes. Not everybody, but a lot of them, and that’s what the President’s frustrated about, and we all are, that they’re creating a hoax, just like they did with the Russian dossier, because they think it’s going to somehow be mud thrown on him. It’s not. He has no culpability in this thing at all. The president has clean hands. He wants all the records out. He has told me that himself.
