A former FBI Forensics handwriting analyst has reported that USA Today should be able to tell whether the obscene letter is forgery or written by Trump.
The White House denied Trump’s signature on Epstein’s birthday letter
The White House said President Donald Trump never signed Jeffrey Epstein’s birthday letter and vowed to take legal action against the Wall Street Journal.
WASHINGTON – The White House said on September 9 that it welcomed professional handwriting experts to allow them to paint notes and indecent pictures in the birthday book of dishonest financier Jeffrey Epstein to prove they don’t come from President Donald Trump.
“We’re certainly going to support that,” White House spokesman Caroline Leavitt said during a briefing with a reporter. “The president did not write this letter. He did not sign this letter.”
Leavitt said he has already seen some forensic analysis of signatures that show that this is “absolutely not a real signature of the president.”
One former FBI forensic handwriting analyst told USA Today that a consideration of Trump’s alleged signature on a birthday card by a qualified professional forensic document examiner can be crucially proven that it is his signature or based on a variety of specific markers that cannot be easily detected with the naked eye.
“You’re basically comparing side-by-side the entire list of features, including letter spacing, size, slants, letter formation and stroke formation, and overall alignment,” Meredith DeKalb Miller was the supervising forensic documentary examiner at Quanto’s FBI Laboratory since 1998.
Dekalb Miller currently runs his own consulting business, analyzing hundreds of documents and testifying as an expert on whether he has been proven as a qualified professional in federal and state courts. “There’s a precedent because there are a lot of legal cases in which forensic handwriting has been hospitalized in court as evidence for over 100 years,” she said in relation to the lawsuit Trump filed against the Wall Street Journal about the report.
In June, Trump sued Journal, the first news outlet to report the letter on July 17, condemning the release of the honor and amidst losses and sought $10 billion in damages. The Journal was based on reports, but the White House continues to call the letters fake.
“We have a specific one, Jeffrey.”
The 2003 book given to Epstein on his 50th birthday, including a letter Trump allegedly sent to Epstein, was one of numerous documents from the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, released on September 8th.
Notes in question – Signed by “Donald” in cursive surnameless – includes a drawing that outlines a naked woman and a typed note depicting the conversation between Trump and Epstein. “We have something in common, Jeffrey,” says Memo.
“Happy birthday – it could be another great secret every day,” says Trump to Epstein.
The most distinguishing feat of the signature is the long tail of the second “D” in Trump’s name. Trump’s signatures do not include tails in his official signatures on executive orders, bills and other official White House documents, from both his second and first term.
However, an analysis by The New York Times revealed that several letters Trump wrote to New York City officials from 1987 to 2001 were similar to signing Epstein’s book. Other Trump critics, including lawyer George Conway and liberal commentator Keith Olberman, have posted past letters received from Trump, similar to his signature.
Dekalb Miller refused to speculate on the authenticity of the letter, and whether the signature belongs to Trump or forgery.
She told USA Today that a professional forensic document examiner is using a “conclusion scale” with nine levels of probability, from aggressive identification to “exclusion.” There are various odds between these two extreme conclusions.”
Dekalb Miller said various groups are perfecting and standardizing the techniques and techniques used in handwriting analysis, including an expert working group on human factors in handwriting inspections. The group is supported by the National Institute of Justice and the National Institute of Standards and Technology or NIST.
Forensic Document Examiners can be found at local, state, and federal crime labs. It also provides training to select individuals for analysis, comparison and evaluation of the documents asked, says Dekalb Miller’s website.
Forensic Document Examiners work for the FBI, Secret Service, Internal Revenue Service, Postal Inspection Services, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Army Crime Institute and other agencies. Many of them continue to work in the private sector after leaving the government.
