A note that was allegedly sent to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by President Donald Trump, including his name and alleged signature, has been released by Democrats.
In a post over on X, the Democrats on the Oversight Committee shared an image allegedly taken from Epstein's 'birthday book', which they claim was sent to Epstein on his 50th birthday.
"HERE IT IS: We got Trump’s birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein that the President said doesn’t exist," the caption reads.
"Trump talks about a 'wonderful secret' the two of them shared. What is he hiding? Release the files!"

President Donald Trump has always vehemently denied signing the book, explaining: "I never wrote a picture in my life. I don't draw pictures of women."
The note appears to be a drawing of an outline of a woman's body, with a type of script written over the top.
It begins: “Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything.

“Donald: Yes, there is, but I won’t tell you what it is.
“Jeffrey: Nor will I, since I also know what it is.
"Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.
"Jeffrey: Yes, we do, come to think of it.

“Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?
"Jeffrey: As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you.
“Donald: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday—and may every day be another wonderful secret.”
The note was released after The House Oversight Committee issued a legal summons for the executors of Epstein's estate to release a number of documents relating to the disgraced financier.

Alongside the 'birthday book', Epstein's will, entries from his contact book and addresses were released.

The letter matches the description given by The Wall Street Journal back in July, when they first published having seen the note.
They claimed Ghislaine Maxwell - the former girlfriend and accomplice of Epstein - collected messages from Epstein's associates and added them to a birthday album for a celebration in 2003.

Trump swiftly took to Truth Social to address the article, stating he planned to sue the WSJ after deeming the letter 'fake'.

The president wrote: "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 reached out to The White House for comment.
