Daily Report
Jeffrey Epstein’s Friends Sent Him Bawdy Letters for a 50th Birthday Album. One Was From Donald Trump.
Why Troubling News:
This article from The Wall Street Journal has become a source of contention, as it alleges that President Trump sent Epstein an inappropriate letter, describing the letter in some detail. I consider this concerning news because no confirmation of the letter's veracity or even existence has been shared, so it is contributing to misinformation by sparking the blaze of attention from the public without establishing reliable credibility. Essentially, it is the start of a rumor to cap many other existing rumors, which is concerning, whether it's true or not.
