Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayRep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.) on Tuesday claimed that he didn’t see the creepy card President Donald Trump allegedly made in Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous “birthday book” just before he was confronted with a copy of it outside the Capitol.
“I would love to see it matched with his handwriting. It just seems really, really wild —,” said Burlison as CNN’s Manu Raju began to show him the letter, a typewritten message inside a crude drawing of an outline of a woman’s body.
“Here’s the letter,” Raju said.
“Yeah, I don’t — I don’t want to, I don’t want to see that,” replied Burlison before letting out a chuckle.
Burlison joined a number of his GOP colleagues who have churned out stunning responses to the president purported message to the late convicted sex offender on his 50th birthday back in 2003.
On Tuesday morning, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told HuffPost that he didn’t get “a chance to even look at it” as he’s “been a little busy.”
Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and James Comer (R-Ky.) opted to “take the president’s word” on it while Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) turned his attention to Democrats, arguing that they did “absolutely nothing” on Epstein during Joe Biden’s administration.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) — who is part of a bipartisan push for the House to vote on a bill to require the Justice Department to release the so-called Epstein files in their entirety — suggested that an autograph expert similar to those seen on the show “Pawn Stars” confirm the signature on the letter.
Trump — in remarks to reporters outside a Washington, D.C. restaurant on Tuesday night — stressed that it’s not his signature on the letter and the message doesn’t depict how he speaks.
“Anybody that’s covered me for a long time knows that’s not my language. It’s nonsense and frankly you’re wasting your time,” said the president, who has referred to the letter as a “dead issue.”

REPORTER: Did you sign Epstein's birthday letter?
TRUMP: It's not my signature. And it's not the way I speak. And anyone who knows me for a long time knows that's not my language. And frankly you're wasting your time. pic.twitter.com/M5jM0iIyac
