Letter penned on Trump's birthday contains his signature, depicting a nude female figure, referencing Epstein.
In a recent report by the Wall Street Journal, it has been alleged that Donald Trump sent a controversial letter with a sketch of a naked woman to Jeffrey Epstein as part of a leather-bound album compiled to mark Epstein's 50th birthday in 2003.
The drawing, which included the outline of a naked woman with Trump's signature mimicking pubic hair and contained typed text depicting a conversation between Trump and Epstein, was reportedly found in Epstein's birthday album.
However, Trump has denied writing the letter or drawing the sketch, calling the Wall Street Journal story "fake" and a "scam." He stated that "these are not my words, not the way I talk," and claimed he does not draw pictures. Trump also threatened to sue the Wall Street Journal and its owner Rupert Murdoch over the report.
The letter, which concluded with the phrase "Happy Birthday - and may every day be another wonderful secret," was included in a birthday album assembled by Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell, a former associate of Epstein, collected letters from Trump and dozens of others for Epstein's 50th birthday.
The Justice Department has stated that there is no Epstein "client list" and will not release any more documents related to the case. This decision has infuriated Trump supporters, who are calling for more transparency.
Epstein was charged with sex trafficking minors in Florida and New York in 2019, and was found dead in his jail cell. Medical examiners ruled his death a suicide, but the circumstances have since spawned conspiracy theories.
As this is a developing story, further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
