President Donald Trump sent a salacious birthday message to Jeffrey Epstein that included a risqué hand-drawn picture of a naked woman with a cryptic message inside, according to a new report.
Trump has vehemently denied the allegations published in The Wall Street Journal that he took part in a 50th birthday album organized for the disgraced billionaire by his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
The birthday letter included Trump's signature and was obtained by the WSJ.
The outline of a naked woman allegedly frames typewritten text which reads: 'Happy Birthday - and may every day be another wonderful secret.'
According to the Journal, the naked woman appeared to have been hand-drawn with a marker, with a pair of arcs indicating the woman's breasts and a squiggly signature reading 'Donald' appearing in her pubic region, mimicking hair.
Trump categorically denied any involvement in the drawing or writing of the text.
'This is not me,' he said. 'This is a fake thing. It's a fake Wall Street Journal story.
'I never wrote a picture in my life. I don't draw pictures of women. It's not my language. It's not my words.'
Trump vowed to sue the Wall Street Journal if it published the story, warning: 'I'm gonna sue The Wall Street Journal just like I sued everyone else.'
Although Trump claimed he 'never wrote a picture in my life', several sketches he made of New York City landmarks as early as 2004 are readily available online.
The alleged letter reportedly contained an imaginary conversation between Epstein and Trump, written in third person.
In the imaginary conversation, 'Donald' writes: 'We have certain things in common, Jeffrey', to which 'Jeffrey' replies: 'Yes we do, come to think of it.'
'Donald' then responds: 'Enigmas never age, have you noticed that', and imaginary 'Jeffrey' says 'as a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you.'
Vice President JD Vance rubbished the allegations on Thursday night, writing on X: 'Forgive my language but this story is complete and utter bulls**t. The WSJ should be ashamed for publishing it.
'Where is this letter? Would you be shocked to learn they never showed it to us before publishing it? Does anyone honestly believe this sounds like Donald Trump?'
'Will the people who have bought into every hoax against President Trump show an ounce of skepticism before buying into this bizarre story?'
The publication states that a compilation of letters were put together in a leather-bound album, organized by Maxwell for Epstein prior to his first arrest in 2006.
The album contained poems and photos from businesspeople and high-flying executives.
It is understood the letter forms part of the initial investigation into Epstein and Maxwell that the Justice Department conducted years ago, however it is unclear whether it was examined during Attorney General Pam Bondi's recent search.
Bondi and Trump are both under immense pressure from MAGA loyalists after failing to deliver on a campaign promise to expose Epstein's client list and reveal the truth about his alleged suicide inside his cell in 2019 while awaiting trial for child sex trafficking charges.
Bondi in February shared binders with MAGA influencers called 'Phase 1' of the Epstein release, but the folders contained previously published information.
She assured the public at the time that the client list was 'on her desk to be reviewed' and that more bombshell information would soon follow.
Last week, she backtracked and insisted the highly sought after client list 'doesn't exist.' She also said that Epstein killed himself in jail, and that there was no evidence to suggest he was murdered.
The lack of new information has sparked mutiny among MAGA and deeply divided Trump's base.
Trump on Wednesday lashed out at his own supporters and accused them of being duped by Democrats over the Epstein saga as he looks to shield himself and Bondi from backlash.
'Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this 'bulls**t,' hook, line, and sinker,' Trump wrote Wednesday.
'They haven't learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years.'
'Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don't even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don't want their support anymore!'
There is no evidence former Democratic officials tampered with the documents or played any role in promoting conspiracies about the files, which members of Trump's administration stoked for years.
Elon Musk, Trump's former first buddy, has been among the loudest critics, unfollowing Bondi on X and describing her comments as 'the final straw.'
Back in early June when he and Trump first fell out over the Big Beautiful Bill, Musk sensationally claimed on X that the president was 'in the Epstein files' and thus trying to delay their publication.
'Time to drop the really big bomb: [Trump] is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!',' he wrote, before ultimately deleting the post and apologizing.
On July 8, Musk weighed in again, writing: 'How can people be expected to have faith in Trump if he won't release the Epstein files?'
But on Thursday even Musk questioned the validity of the letter the Journal has cited, responding to Megyn Kelly's X post with a statement which read: 'Yeah, the letter soudns bogus.'
