Former Obama White House communications director, Biden’s press secretary, and long-time Democrat activist Jen Psaki is back at it on MSNBC—this time ridiculing Republicans and dismissing Donald Trump’s denial of a so-called “signature” tied to Jeffrey Epstein. The on-screen headline blared “Ink-credible” as she mocked the story. The irony? Psaki didn’t investigate the story. For her, a clever pun is enough—no science, no verification, just a slogan and a smirk.
Donald Trump himself has flatly denied the claim, saying, “It’s not my signature and it’s not the way I speak.” He argued that anyone who has followed him over the years knows the writing style is nothing like his own and dismissed the allegation as nonsense.
After playing a clip of Trump’s denial, Psaki offered no new evidence—only mockery:
“I mean, look at JD Vance, in that whole video there. And now, as implausible as it may be, that fake signature theory has become kind of the official party line.”
That was presented as her “proof”—a sarcastic jab at the way Trump’s running mate looks, not a serious argument.
Psaki also stretched her theory further, saying:
“The theory James Comer’s referencing is that 22 years ago when Donald Trump was still a Democrat sending texts to Hillary Clinton of all people by the way. When Trump and Epstein were still friends who partied openly together at Mar-a-Lago. And before Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes became known to the public someone out there, somewhere had the foresight to fake Trump’s signature, and then included it in a book to his close friend in the hopes that it would damage his reputation when he was miraculously sitting in the Oval Office 22 years later, which nobody on the planet predicted”
Trump (and his administration) is calling for ink testing, urging forensic verification of the alleged signature in Epstein’s birthday book. Jen Psaki, if she were serious about truth instead of partisan spin, should be calling for the same thing. But she won’t—because actually testing the evidence could destroy the story she wants to sell.
Treating this scrapbook page as fact without evidence isn’t journalism—it’s propaganda.
Psaki summed up her attack this way:
“Trump’s claim that this is all fake as well is pretty laughable. But frankly that’s to be expected with this guy. Because anytime he encounters a story he doesn’t like, he reflexively calls it fake.”
But she has it backwards. Trump denying it isn’t the problem—it’s her and the media turning unverified, shaky evidence into headlines and calling it truth. That’s the real definition of fake. If anything is “laughable,” it’s Psaki’s show itself—half pun, half propaganda, and zero proof.
