The White House, while continuing to deny Trump\u2019s involvement, now says it is willing to allow a handwriting expert to analyze the disputed signature.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\"><!-- RevContent --><\/p>\n<div data-widget-host=\"revcontent\" data-pub-id=\"180567\" data-widget-id=\"284824\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"734\" data-end=\"927\">Press secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the issue during a briefing on Tuesday, emphasizing that the administration stands by Trump\u2019s denial but would not oppose a professional evaluation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"929\" data-end=\"1112\">\u201cSure, we would support that,\u201d Leavitt said when asked if the White House would accept a handwriting expert\u2019s assessment of both the signature and the sketch included in the letter.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1114\" data-end=\"1531\">At the same time, Leavitt argued that the authenticity of the note had already been dismissed, claiming three handwriting specialists determined the signature to be fake. However, as Media Matters\u2019 Matt Gertz noted, this appeared to be a misrepresentation of a <em data-start=\"1375\" data-end=\"1387\">Daily Wire<\/em> report. That story described three artificial intelligence research systems reviewing the letter\u2019s text and artwork\u2014not the signature itself.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1533\" data-end=\"1802\">In contrast, one expert who has studied the signature directly has reached the opposite conclusion. Graphologist Emma Bache told <em data-start=\"1662\" data-end=\"1672\">Sky News<\/em> that the handwriting in question is unmistakably Trump\u2019s, bearing a striking resemblance to his autograph from the early 2000s.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1804\" data-end=\"1969\">\u201cThe signature attributed to Trump on the Epstein message is very much the signature he had in the 2000s,\u201d Bache said. \u201cI can absolutely say it is Donald Trump\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1971\" data-end=\"2407\">She elaborated on her analysis, calling Trump\u2019s handwriting \u201cincredibly distinctive.\u201d According to Bache, the letter displays his trademark characteristics, including a particularly long horizontal stroke at the end of his name. \u201cFunnily enough,\u201d she added, \u201cthat stroke is essentially telling people, \u2018keep away.\u2019 The pressure, length, and formation of every single stroke are absolutely identical to his current official signature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2409\" data-end=\"2616\">Although Bache expressed confidence in her conclusion, she acknowledged that Trump\u2019s denial was predictable. \u201cHe has an awful lot to lose,\u201d she told <em data-start=\"2558\" data-end=\"2568\">Sky News<\/em>. \u201cBut that doesn\u2019t affect my analysis of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2618\" data-end=\"2902\">Others who have familiarity with Trump\u2019s handwriting also weighed in. Public figures such as attorney George Conway, commentator Keith Olbermann, and television host Lawrence O\u2019Donnell remarked that the signature bears a strong resemblance to the former president\u2019s known autograph.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2904\" data-end=\"3125\">The debate over the alleged birthday letter has only deepened with Bache\u2019s expert assessment, creating yet another layer of scrutiny in a story that has already ignited political controversy and intense public interest.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@realDonaldTrump<\/a>\u2018s letter to me, April 13, 2006: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3VZ701ipYv\">https:\/\/t.co\/3VZ701ipYv<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FTGHp2oOFH\">pic.twitter.com\/FTGHp2oOFH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 George Conway \ud83d\udc4a\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83d\udd25 (@gtconway3d) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/gtconway3d\/status\/1965161506343108998?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 8, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIn the second week of January 2016, I received my one and only handwritten note from Donald Trump,\u201d Lawrence O\u2019Donnell recounted Monday night on MSNBC. \u201cIt was signed, \u2018Best wishes, Donald\u2019\u2014using just his first name, the same way he signed the birthday letter to Epstein.
