This is from the wsj article, the important bit:
Dershowitz, who represented Epstein after his first arrest, said, “It’s been a long time and I don’t recall the content of what I may have written.”
The book was put together by a New York City bookbinder, Herbert Weitz, according to people who were involved in the process. Weitz, who died in 2020, listed Epstein as a client on his website in 2003.
It isn’t clear how the letter with Trump’s signature was prepared. Inside the outline of the naked woman was a typewritten note styled as an imaginary conversation between Trump and Epstein, written in the third person.
“Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything,” the note began.
Donald: Yes, there is, but I won’t tell you what it is.
Jeffrey: Nor will I, since I also know what it is.
Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.
Jeffrey: Yes, we do, come to think of it.
Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?
Jeffrey: As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you.
Trump: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.

Could not possibly be less explicit, holy shit. Not even plausible deniability.
You forgot this one too
“I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women,” he said. “It’s not my language. It’s not my words.”
Sincerely, I believe him on that one. Even in the early aughts, Trump spoke like a dipshit. I believe he probably paid someone to write it for him. 2003 they were in preproduction for the first season of the Apprentice. I bet he had a whole creative team on payroll, and just staffed it out.
The overlords have decided the don is costing them too much money and attention.
Or Musks putting his money to work.
For once I hope he succeeds
Article is paywalled, but here’s another with a description and partial text of the letter:
