Epstein Birthday Card Signed by Trump Published
By Goldsea Staff | 08 Sep, 2025

Epstein estate attorneys turned over a birthday message that Trump had denied existed and for the reporting of which he's currently suing the Wall Street Journal.

This page of the birthday book bound for Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday contains a drawing signed by Donald Trump, a close Epstein friend at the time.

In a blow to President Donald Trump's image and veracity, a copy of a birthday book commemorating Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday was turned over to Congress Monday by lawyers for Epstein's estate.

The book was turned over in response to a subpoena from House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer, a republican from Kentucky.  It contains a page with a crude hand drawing of the silhouette of a woman's body with Trump's signature in place of pubic hair.  

When this birthday message had been reported by the Wall Street Journal in July, Trump had denied its existence, calling it a "fake thing".  He also filed suit seeking a billion dollars against the reporter, WSJ parent Dow Jones and its parent company News Corp, as well as individual executives.  

“President Trump called the Epstein investigation a hoax and claimed that his birthday note didn’t exist," noted California democrat Robert Garcia, ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, as reported by the WSJ.  "Now we know that Donald Trump was lying and is doing everything he can to cover up the truth.  Enough of the games and lies, release the full files now.”

The birthday book was professionally bound for Epstein in 2003, prior to his first arrest in 2006.  Most of the dozens of letters from friends and associates, including Bill Clinton, were standard birthday wishes while a few contained suggestive drawings or photos and sexual allusions.  One other letter in the book references Trump in the context of a crude joke about an unnamed woman with whom Trump and Epstein had socialized in the 1990s.  

The release of the book suggests that the Trump administration’s ultimate refusal to turn over the full Epstein files was motivated at least in part by the desire to keep hidden Trump's contribution to the birthday book.  Trump went as far as to characterize as a "democratic hoax" the pleas of the victims of sexual abuse, who had been minors at the time of the abuse, to release the full Epstein files.  

One of Trump's election pledges had been to release the complete Epstein files.
