Shocking new claim that Trump is in Epstein’s birthday book after disturbing letter he allegedly wrote revealed
Donald Trump may have been one of many names of people who contributed to a birthday gift book given to Jeffrey Epstein, according to a new report.
Despite Donald Trump’s wish that people stop talking about disgraced pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, new claims continue to amass.
The Trump administration’s insistence that people should move on from Epstein has resulted in more people delving deeper into Epstein’s past, including his relationship with Trump.
This has also intensified since the DOJ and FBI said they found no evidence of a ‘client list’ that Epstein used to blackmail powerful individuals.

Trump’s friendship with Epstein has not been a secret, however the president has repeatedly claimed that he did not like Epstein and had not spoken to him for years prior to him facing accusations of sex crimes.
What is Epstein's birthday book?
Last week the Wall Street Journal published a piece that claimed Ghislaine Maxwell, a former partner and accomplice of Epstein, collected messages from Epstein’s associates to celebrate his 50th birthday in 2003.
WSJ reports the letter featured a few lines of typewritten text, which was seemingly framed by a hand-drawn outline of a naked woman.
"Happy Birthday - and may every day be another wonderful secret," the alleged letter concluded, before being signed off with just 'Donald'.
Trump went on to claim the letter was fake, but a report by the New York Times has now claimed Trump’s name is also on a list of contributors for Epstein’s birthday book.
Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20 year sentence for helping Epstein sexually abuse minors, wrote in an introductory letter that she had gathered messages and old photographs from the convicted pedophile's friends, adding: "I know you will enjoy looking through the book, and I hope you will derive as much pleasure looking through it as I did putting it together for you."
Where is Epstein's birthday book now?
The alleged birthday book is in possession of the Epstein estate, according to Brad Edwards, a lawyer for Epstein's victims.
But California representative Ro Khanna, a Democrat, has said he plans to try and subpoena the book - meaning there might soon be definitive proof as to whether the book, and Trump's message, is real.
The Epstein estate told ABC it would 'comply with all lawful processes', but did not confirm if the estate has the book or if it contains a letter from Trump.
Has Trump responded to the Epstein claims?
Trump has not addressed his name appearing in the contributors list. However, he denounced the report from the WSJ and insisted they were peddling a ‘fake’ letter.
Writing on Truth Social, he commented: "The Wall Street Journal, and Rupert Murdoch, personally, were warned directly by President Donald J. Trump that the supposed letter they printed by President Trump to Epstein was a FAKE and, if they print it, they will be sued.
"Mr. Murdoch stated that he would take care of it but, obviously, did not have the power to do so.
"The Editor of The Wall Street Journal, Emma Tucker, was told directly by Karoline Leavitt, and by President Trump, that the letter was a FAKE, but Emma Tucker didn't want to hear that. Instead, they are going with a false, malicious, and defamatory story anyway.
"President Trump will be suing The Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp, and Mr. Murdoch, shortly. The Press has to learn to be truthful, and not rely on sources that probably don't even exist."
UNILAD has contacted the White House for comment.
