On October 15, 2016, Timothy Thomas Talbott, 96, fell to his death from the front porch of his home in Masspeth, Queens. Mr. Talbott had been an employee of the NYC Department of Health from 1939 until his retirement in 1984.  Among his possessions was a sealed plastic bag taped inside a toilet tank. It contained 38 state-mandated physician reports of venereal disease in prominent New York socialites dating back to 1942, and the original paper record of the birth of one Donald John Doe on June 14, 1946, which bore a number of similarities to the document above, including the certificate number.  (Shown below)

Update 2: On January 5, 2024, Mr. Trump reposted a story on the Gateway pundit, claiming that Nikki
