Washington, Sep 9 (NationPress) The estate of Jeffrey Epstein has submitted a 2003 birthday book to Congress, which features a graphic drawing of a woman alongside a note purportedly signed by US President Donald Trump. This note reportedly congratulates Epstein with an innuendo-laden remark, as reported by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
In response, House Democrats from the Oversight Committee shared the image on X, emphasizing Trump's past connections to Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in custody in 2019.
In a post on X, the Democrats stated, "Trump mentions a 'wonderful secret' they shared. What is he concealing? Release the files!"
The book, which was a gift for Epstein's 50th birthday in 2003, contained messages from several high-profile individuals, drawing attention to the nature of Trump's relationship with Epstein.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt refuted the claims, asserting that the entire narrative is "false" and a "hoax."
"Clearly, President Trump did not draw this image nor did he sign it," she asserted on X.
Additionally, US Vice President JD Vance reiterated the party's position, stating, "The Democrats are not concerned about Epstein or his victims; they only aim to fabricate another false scandal to tarnish President Trump's reputation. No one is buying this nonsense," he posted on X.
Trump has previously dismissed the authenticity of the 2003 letter, branding it as "fake" following the WSJ's report in June 2025. He subsequently filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the WSJ in July 2025.
In early September, Democrats convened a press conference alongside several survivors of Epstein to press for the thorough release of governmental records regarding his abuse network.
Epstein's accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison term for sex trafficking, participated in a two-day interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in July. The transcript indicates Maxwell denied any involvement or wrongdoing by Trump. In August, she was moved to a minimum-security federal prison in Texas.
