US EditionTrump’s Name Is on Contributor List for Epstein Birthday Book
UNITED STATES, JUL 25 – Trump's 1997 note and a photo with Jeffrey Epstein and James Brown surface amid political pressure to access Justice Department files on Epstein, Democrats say.
- President Donald Trump faced renewed scrutiny in 2025 after reports linked his name to a 2003 leather-bound birthday book honoring Jeffrey Epstein.
- The controversy followed initial Wall Street Journal claims of a sexually suggestive drawing and letter allegedly signed by Trump in the book, which Trump denies as fake.
- Trump and Epstein had a longstanding acquaintance beginning in the 1990s, which ended around 2004 following a dispute that resulted in Trump barring Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago property due to inappropriate conduct.
- Legal and political actions include Trump's defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal, ongoing DOJ interviews with Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell, and House committee subpoenas for Epstein files.
- The events intensified bipartisan pressure on the Justice Department to release investigative files, while Trump calls the situation a Democratic 'scam' designed to distract from his administration’s record.
