Donald Trump’s Name Resurfaces Amid Epstein Birthday Book Controversy
Despite calls from Donald Trump to move past the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, his name keeps appearing in new and unsettling contexts tied to the disgraced financier. The latest controversy centers on a peculiar artifact known as Epstein’s “birthday book”
—a compilation of personal messages and cryptic notes from Epstein’s inner circle, now sparking renewed questions about Trump’s involvement.
The Birthday Book Mystery
Reports reveal that Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former partner and convicted aide, assembled a special keepsake for Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003. This book reportedly contained handwritten notes and typed greetings from prominent figures associated with Epstein.
One of these messages allegedly includes a typewritten note framed by a hand-drawn nude woman, ending with an enigmatic wish:
“Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”
The note was signed simply with the name “Donald.”
While Trump vehemently denies that the note is genuine—labeling it a forgery—recent investigative coverage from The New York Times has added complexity by revealing that Trump’s name appears on a list of contributors to this birthday book, suggesting he may have had some involvement beyond the disputed signature.
What’s the Status of the Birthday Book?
Attorney Brad Edwards, representing multiple victims of Epstein’s crimes, states that the original book is currently held by Epstein’s estate. This revelation has caught the attention of lawmakers such as California Representative Ro Khanna, who has signaled intentions to subpoena the book, potentially bringing its contents into public view.
While the Epstein estate has pledged to comply with valid legal requests, they have not confirmed whether the birthday book still exists or if it includes a note from Trump.
Trump and Epstein: A Troubled History
Trump’s association with Epstein is well-documented, though he claims their relationship ended years before Epstein’s criminal charges surfaced. Despite Trump’s repeated demands to shift focus away from the Epstein saga, these new disclosures only deepen public and legal scrutiny over their ties.
The Justice Department and FBI’s recent statements that no definitive “client list” has been uncovered have done little to quell speculation—especially as items like the birthday book resurface, hinting at potentially hidden connections.
Final Thoughts
Whether the “Donald” note in Epstein’s birthday book is authentic remains uncertain, but the growing interest in Epstein’s archives suggests more revelations could be on the horizon. With lawmakers ready to pursue transparency and victims demanding justice, the layers of Epstein’s secretive network continue to unfold—raising pressing questions about who else might be entwined in its shadows.
