The Democrats published a note featuring a drawing of a woman\u2019s body and allegedly signed by the US president<\/p>\n
The White House has dismissed as\u00a0\u201cfake news\u201d\u00a0the release of a note that Democrats claim was written by US President Donald Trump for notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s 50th birthday in 2003.
\nThe note, published on Monday as part of congressional documents, included typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, ending with the words: \u201cHappy Birthday\u00a0\u2013 and may every day be another wonderful secret.\u201d It appeared to be signed \u201cDonald\u201d below the waistline of the drawing.
\nWhite House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the letter was not authentic and reiterated that Trump\u2019s legal team is pursuing a defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal.
\n\u201cThe latest piece published by the Wall Street Journal PROVES this entire \u2018Birthday Card\u2019 story is false. As I have said all along, it\u2019s very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it,\u201d she wrote on X. Leavitt also accused the Journal of deliberately timing its reporting to prevent the White House from responding.
\n\u201cNo one is falling for this BS,\u201d Vice President J.D. Vance wrote on X, accusing the Democrats of exploiting Epstein\u2019s victims to smear Trump. \u201cThe Democrats don\u2019t care about Epstein. They don\u2019t even care about his victims. That\u2019s why they were silent about it for years.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Democrats don’t care about Epstein. They don\u2019t even care about his victims. That’s why they were silent about it for years. The only thing they care about is concocting another fake scandal like Russiagate to smear President Trump with lies.No one is falling for this BS. https:\/\/t.co\/u3pHgBtQDf\u2014 JD Vance (@JDVance) September 8, 2025 <\/p>\n
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee published the alleged note on social media, asking what \u201csecret\u201d Trump was hiding and demanding the release of additional files. Republican committee chairman James Comer accused Democrats of \u201ccherry-picking documents\u201d from the Epstein estate and pledged to run a comprehensive investigation.<\/p>\n

The disputed note was included in a professionally bound \u201cbirthday book\u201d compiled for Epstein by his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. The album contained contributions from dozens of acquaintances, including prominent businessmen and politicians, some of which featured sexual jokes and explicit imagery.
\nTrump has previously dismissed the allegations as a hoax and sued Wall Street Journal owner Rupert Murdoch for libel, seeking $10 billion in damages.
\nEpstein, a convicted sex offender, was found dead in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. His long association with wealthy and influential figures, including the likes of Bill Clinton, continues to fuel controversy in Washington, where both parties have accused each other of using the case for political gain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
