Donald Trump is under fresh scrutiny after Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a lewd 50th birthday message allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein. The message contains a hand-drawn sketch of a naked woman and hints at a “wonderful secret” between Trump and Epstein.
Since The Wall Street Journal revealed this six weeks ago, Trump and his team have gone back and forth. Sometimes they deny the document exists, other times they claim it is not real lewd 50th birthday message Donald Trump Jeffrey Epstein.
Their approach is simple: deny everything. Vice President JD Vance called The Wall Street Journal’s report “complete and utter nonsense.” Trump’s lawyers even threatened to sue the newspaper, targeting its owner Rupert Murdoch and editor Emma Tucker Defamation lawsuits flew in the direction of the Journal Rupert Murdoch.
This week, the Epstein estate handed the so-called “birthday book” to Capitol Hill after a subpoena delivered the “birthday book” to Capitol Hill. The White House quickly declared the signature on the sketch to be fake to claim. However, experts say the signature closely resembles other personal notes Trump wrote around Epstein’s 2003 birthday.
The latest piece published by the Wall Street Journal PROVES this entire “Birthday Card” story is false.
As I have said all along, it’s very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it.
President Trump’s legal team will continue to aggressively…

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt took to social media to say Trump “did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it.” She added that his legal team plans to aggressively pursue litigation against those spreading false information Trump’s initial claim.
Eric Trump repeated the claim on Newsmax TV, saying, “My father does not sketch out cartoon drawings.” This matches Trump’s earlier statement in July, when he said, “I don’t draw pictures.”
These denials conflict with Trump’s own past statements and actions. He has admitted to drawing and even donated sketches to charity he wrote. In 2008, Trump said that it only takes a few minutes to create a sketch and sign it, raising thousands of dollars to help the hungry in New York. During his presidency, one of his sketches of the Manhattan skyline sold for $29,000 at auction sold.
While Trump’s denials appeal to his supporters, many critics remain doubtful. MAGA followers have been told that the document is fake and created by Democrats. Podcaster Charlie Kirk, who has warned the White House about Trump’s Epstein ties, asked his followers on X if the signature looked real.
He concluded, “I don’t think so at all. Fake” warned the White House asked his followers. Another pundit, Benny Johnson, called the doodle weak evidence and said Trump should sue to silence his critics.
This controversy is becoming a bigger problem for Trump in Congress. Some Republican lawmakers like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Nancy Mace, and Thomas Massie want full transparency about Trump’s dealings with Epstein and have expressed concern for the victims of Epstein’s crimes growing Epstein problem.
Faced with these questions, Trump may try to distract the public. The release of the drawing could lead him to deploy national guard troops in Chicago, citing a crime wave as justification deploy national guard troops onto the streets of Chicago.

He might also boost mass deportation efforts or take extrajudicial action against Venezuelan drug traffickers to shift attention from the Epstein revelations extrajudicial attacks on Venezuelan drug traffickers.
The situation remains tense as questions about Trump’s connections to Epstein continue to haunt him and raise calls for accountability.
