Trump’s Name Is on Contributor List for Epstein Birthday Book
UNITED STATES, JUL 25 – Trump's 1997 note and a photo with Jeffrey Epstein and James Brown surface amid political pressure to access Justice Department files on Epstein, Democrats say.
- On July 17, 2025, The Wall Street Journal reported that Donald Trump signed a sexually suggestive drawing and note in Jeffrey Epstein's 2003 leather-bound birthday book.
- The report led Trump to sue the Journal for defamation, amid ongoing criticism of his administration's refusal to release Epstein-related investigation files.
- Trump and Epstein had a known relationship dating back to at least 1992, which reportedly ended around 2004 after a falling-out and Epstein's removal from Mar-a-Lago.
- Trump denied all allegations, called the reports false and malicious, and posted on Truth Social that the supposed letter was a "FAKE" and the accusations a "Jeffrey Epstein SCAM" by "Radical Left Democrats."
- The controversy intensified federal and congressional pressure on the Justice Department to release grand jury files, while Epstein's estate pledged full cooperation with lawful requests.
