Leading into the overnight hours a story emerged from the Wall Street Journal claiming US President Donald Trump had sent the convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein "bawdy" 50th birthday messages complete with a drawing of a woman with his name signed across her private parts, which they claim resembled pubic hairs.  The president has denied ever sending such a drawing and threatened to sue the paper if they published the report, which they did .  Gambling911.com will continue to monitor Trump-related betting markets to see what, if any, impact this might have.  Already, a number of right wing influencers who have been critical of the DOJ for declining to release any files pertaining to Epstein, have come to Trump's defense.  Megyn Kelly, for instance, referred to the WSJ's report as "the dumbest attempted hit piece I've ever read".  Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi's odds of leaving the administration jumped from 24% to 27% Thursday.  Despite how hot the news has been related to Epstein, Gambling911.com is only reporting mild interest here as it pertains to betting markets (for now at least).  Last 24 Hours Gambling911 Impressions: 51,875.
