10-Foot-Tall Replica of Trump’s Alleged Birthday Message to Epstein Appears on National Mall
The 10-foot installation includes redacted Epstein files and invites public messages amid pressure on the Trump administration to release over two million unreleased documents, DOJ said.
- Overnight on Sunday, The Secret Handshake erected a 10-foot replica of a reported Donald Trump birthday card near the U.S. Capitol on the National Mall, with the Washington Monument visible behind it.
- Organizers timed the display around Jeffrey Epstein's Jan. 20 birthday to highlight pressure on the Justice Department to release files, with 12,285 documents out and more than 2 million under review.
- One half reproduces a note bearing a naked woman outline and `Donald` signature ending `Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.`, alongside the replica, plaque and redacted-file boxes invite visitors to leave messages.
- Donald Trump denies writing the note and has sued The Wall Street Journal for $10 billion, while The Secret Handshake artworks face removal and online critics highlight other Trump doodles.
- The Secret Handshake said the installation is permitted to remain on the National Mall until Friday, Jan. 23, as part of a broader campaign highlighting Trump-Epstein ties, following fall 2025 displays.
