The White House has denied that an alleged letter from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein is authentic, stating that Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it.
Recently, U.S. lawmakers shared a letter featuring a drawing of a woman's body, which was part of a birthday book given to Epstein in 2003.
The book, part of a trove of documents released by a House committee, also contains Epstein's will and personal address book, listing many high-profile names.
The birthday book includes messages from several contributors, including UK Ambassador Lord Peter Mandelson, who referred to Epstein as my best pal.
Last month, the House Oversight Committee issued legal summons for executors of Epstein's estate to produce various documents, leading to this release that includes the controversial birthday book.
Despite initial claims during his 2024 campaign that he would be more transparent about Epstein-related issues, Trump has maintained a different stance since taking office. He referred to the investigations into Epstein as a hoax in the past.
Lawmakers are pushing for the release of more documents as Epstein's victims continue to come forward, calling for accountability.
The alleged birthday note by Trump, which surfaced earlier this year, featured a conversation between him and Epstein with a concluding line wishing him a happy birthday and suggesting their shared secrets.
In a surprising turn, Democratic lawmakers released an image of the note on social media ahead of the committee's release, raising questions about truthfulness.
In response to the release, Trump’s legal team has stated they will continue their lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal over previous allegations regarding the note.
