A member of President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club joked about the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein selling Trump a “fully depreciated” woman for $22,500 in 2003, according to a new report.
On Monday, members of the House Oversight Committee received a copy of a birthday book that was put together for Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003, including a bizarre birthday message Trump reportedly sent to Epstein – which the president has denied penning.
The birthday book also reportedly featured contributions from former President Bill Clinton and billionaire investor Leon Black, as well as a letter written by Mar-a-Lago member Joel Pashcow joking about Epstein selling Trump a woman.
“Jeffrey showing early talents with money + women! Sells ‘fully depreciated’ [redacted] to Donald Trump for $22,500,” read the letter published by the Wall Street Journal. “Showed early ‘people skills’ too. Even though I handled the deal I didn’t get any of the money on the girl!”
The letter included a photo of Epstein and others holding up a giant fake check purportedly from Trump to Epstein for $22,500.
While the woman’s name was redacted in the letter on Monday, she was reportedly someone whom Trump and Epstein “socialized with in the 1990s,” according to the Journal, which cited unnamed sources “familiar with the matter.”
A lawyer for the woman told the newspaper that their client had no prior knowledge of the letter and did not know Pashcow.
Trump is currently suing the Wall Street Journal for reporting on his alleged birthday letter to Epstein, claiming the document was a “FAKE.”
After the Journal published a photo of the letter on Monday, the White House insisted that Trump was not responsible for signing it or for drawing the figure of a naked lady.
