New Allegation Links Trump to Epstein’s Birthday Book
A new allegation suggests Donald Trump was one of several individuals featured in a birthday gift book created for Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump Urged Silence, But Questions Continue
Although Trump has urged the public to stop discussing Epstein, fresh claims continue to emerge. His past connection to the disgraced financier has sparked renewed interest, especially following his administration’s call to “move on.”
That push, ironically, has led many to dig even deeper into Trump’s ties with Epstein. The issue intensified after the DOJ and FBI said they found no evidence of a so-called Epstein “client list” used to blackmail powerful figures.

Trump and Epstein: A Complicated History
Trump’s acquaintance with Epstein is no secret. While Trump has claimed he disliked Epstein and cut ties with him years before his criminal charges, their former association remains a point of public curiosity.
What Is Epstein’s Birthday Book?
Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s ex-girlfriend and alleged accomplice, organized a birthday book for his 50th birthday in 2003. The book reportedly included notes from friends and associates.
One note, printed on a sheet with a hand-drawn nude woman, read:
“Happy Birthday – and may every day be another wonderful secret,”
and was allegedly signed “Donald.”
Trump dismissed the letter as a forgery. However, The New York Times later claimed Trump’s name also appears on a donor list tied to the birthday book.
Who Has the Book Now?
Brad Edwards, a lawyer for several Epstein victims, said the Epstein estate currently holds the birthday book. California Representative Ro Khanna has announced plans to subpoena it, which could determine whether Trump actually contributed to the book.
The Epstein estate told ABC News it would comply with “any legitimate processes” but refused to confirm whether it possesses the book or if it includes any letter from Trump.
