US Congress has obtained a controversial birthday book belonging to the late Jeffrey Epstein, revealing a signed letter from former President Donald Trump that he previously claimed did not exist. The discovery was reported by The Wall Street Journal on Monday, September 8, 2025.
The 2003 album, compiled by Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, features a typewritten note from Trump, which includes a hand-drawn outline of a naked woman. The message, signed simply "Donald," reads, "Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret." Despite the evidence, Trump has dismissed the letter as a forgery and has threatened legal action against the Wall Street Journal.
This revelation adds to the complex narrative surrounding Epstein, who was arrested in 2019 on federal charges of sex trafficking minors before dying in jail. Trump"s connections to Epstein have been scrutinized for years, with the former president previously downplaying their relationship.
The implications of this discovery could further complicate Trump"s political landscape as he prepares for the upcoming 2026 elections. As previously reported, this week has seen a series of political upheavals, including the recent developments in the French government, which may resonate with voters concerned about integrity in leadership.
