#PI# Breaking News: Donald Trump ( has encountered a nightmarish Jeffrey Epstein ) news, with The New York Times discovering his name on the list of contributors for this billionaire pedophile's birthday book.

Trump insists that the obscene letter containing lewd drawings and his signature, recently exposed by The Wall Street Journal, was not written by him. In fact, he is suing the media over this matter. Now, it has been proven that he was involved in the publication of this book.

According to the New York Times, "In 2003, dozens of Mr. Epstein's acquaintances were invited to write birthday wishes for this leather-bound book, and Trump's name was among them."

The list reviewed by The New York Times includes some of Epstein's notable associates, such as Leslie H. Wexner, the then-owner of Victoria's Secret and other retail businesses, Alan C. Greenberg, who ran the now-bankrupt Wall Street firm Bear Stearns, and physicist Murray Gell-Mann. Both Mr. Greenberg and Mr. Gell-Mann have passed away, the report added.

Earlier today, Trump was questioned again about this book, and this time he admitted that the book might exist, but suggested that his name might be fake.

A reporter asked, "Did you not write a letter for Jeffrey Epstein's birthday?"

"I don't even know what they're talking about. Now, someone might have written a letter, even impersonating my name," Trump said. "This kind of thing happens all the time."

"All you have to do is look at that file, that fake file," he continued, turning to change the subject. "Everything about that government is fake. Everything about the Democrats is fake. Look at the file they just discovered. Everything is fake. They are a bunch of perverts."

Trump now acknowledges that this book may exist, indicating that he is worried it will soon come to light. He is preparing to dismiss it as a forgery.

Earlier this week, lawyers for some of Epstein's victims revealed that the book is currently owned by Epstein's estate management and predicted that if a subpoena is received, the executor will hand the book over to Congress. Congressman Ro Khanna has already announced this plan.

The New York Times also found that the introduction to the book was written by Epstein's close assistant and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Trump had posed for photos with Maxwell and Epstein.

In addition, The New York Times also discovered that Trump personally wrote a note to Epstein at least once. On the title page of the book "The Art of the Comeback," it says: "To Jeff - You are the best!" signed "Donald" with the date "October 1997," which is the year this book was published.

Clearly, Trump and Epstein were very close friends. The American people have the right to know just how close they were.
