Lawyers representing Jeffrey Epstein have provided Congress with a birthday letter from Donald Trump to the convicted sex offender, challenging Trump"s previous denials regarding its existence. The letter, dated June 26, 2000, features Trump"s signature and expresses his well-wishes for Epstein"s birthday.
This revelation comes amidst ongoing investigations into Trump"s relationships with Epstein, who was arrested in 2019 for sex trafficking minors. Trump has consistently denied having a close relationship with Epstein, claiming he was "not a fan" of the financier. However, this newly surfaced letter contradicts those assertions, adding fuel to the scrutiny surrounding Trump"s past associations.
The letter was submitted as part of a broader inquiry into Epstein"s connections with high-profile individuals. Earlier this year, House Democrats unveiled another letter from 2003 in which Trump appeared to express admiration for Epstein, further complicating his narrative.

The emergence of this letter raises questions about Trump"s transparency regarding his past associations and could have implications for his political future as he campaigns for the presidency in 2024. As investigations continue, Congress is expected to delve deeper into the connections between Epstein and various influential figures, including Trump.
