As part of a trove of documents released by the House Oversight Committee in September 2025, a redacted copy of a “birthday book” compiled for Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003 was made public. The book’s contributor list and a specific submission bearing Donald Trump’s name have received significant attention. 

The alleged Trump submission

• The item: The book contains a message with an apparent signature of “Donald” written inside the silhouette of a naked woman.
• The content: The note quotes a fabricated conversation between Epstein and Trump and concludes, “A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret”.
• The denial: Trump and the White House have repeatedly denied that he wrote the note or drew the picture. When the Wall Street Journal first reported on the item in July 2025, Trump called it “a fake thing” and sued the newspaper. The White House continues to deny the note’s authenticity, stating that the signature is not Trump’s.
• The context: The Wall Street Journal and other outlets have reported that the signature and wording bear similarities to other authenticated Trump writings from that era. 

Other notable information in the book

• Other contributors: The book lists other prominent figures, including former President Bill Clinton, investor Leslie Wexner, and then-UK ambassador Peter Mandelson, as “friends” who submitted messages.
• Content and tone: Compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s associate, the book features a wide range of content, from innocent notes from Epstein’s mother to numerous crude and lewd messages that celebrated Epstein’s behavior.
• Another Trump mention: A separate page includes a photo of an oversized, novelty check with a phony “DJTRUMP” signature. A handwritten caption below jokingly states that Epstein “sells a ‘fully depreciated’ [redacted] to Donald Trump for $22,500”.
• Trump-Epstein relationship: The birthday book provides further evidence of the social connection between Trump and Epstein during the late 1990s and early 2000s, before Epstein’s first conviction. 

Political and legal fallout

• Political firestorm: The release of the book has intensified the political debate over the handling of Epstein-related documents. The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed the files, but the process has been marked by partisan disagreements over what should be released and whether to compel testimony from certain figures.
• Ongoing litigation: Trump’s defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal is ongoing. The White House has stated it will “aggressively pursue litigation” over the publication of the material.
