    The biggest name in Jeffrey Epstein’s birthday book back in 2003 was a past president rather than a future one.

    Very deliberate first line. As it’s written, it implies that Donald Trump’s name isn’t in the book. The reference in the tagline wasn’t even necessary. These companies know most people stick to the tagline and don’t read the whole article.

      I think you just misread it. It implies that Trump was in it but not the biggest name. Aren’t you more concerned they didn’t name Trump, so you might think it was Obama or Biden?

      The WSJ is the one that broke the story of Trump’s letter - 10 days ago! Why break a story you’re trying to hide?

        Trump was in it but not the biggest name

        I’ve seen his signature. It’s always the biggest.
