A Congressional panel has revealed a suggestive note believed to have been sent by Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday. The Oversight Committee Democrats shared an image of the note on Twitter, contradicting Trump’s previous denial of its existence. The note was part of a collection of undisclosed documents from Epstein, which also included his will and contact book with various high-profile individuals.
The note hinted at a shared “wonderful secret” between Trump and Epstein, with the President allegedly extending birthday wishes. Despite their friendship in the 1990s and early 2000s, Trump distanced himself from Epstein after a dispute over employee recruitment at one of his properties. Notably, Trump’s involvement in the documents does not imply any criminal activity related to Epstein.
Additional entries in the birthday book included remarks from former President Bill Clinton and Lord Peter Mandelson, the current US ambassador. Clinton’s entry praised Epstein’s philanthropic endeavors, while Mandelson described him as a close friend. The book, however, lacked an entry from Prince Andrew, although an unidentified woman claimed to have met powerful figures including the prince through Epstein.
The entries in the book offered insights into Epstein’s life, showcasing varied perspectives from acquaintances ranging from White House figures to service providers. The documents also featured numerous photos of Epstein over the years, including shots on a private jet and interactions with redacted individuals. Notably, Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend, penned an introduction to the book, expressing hope for his enjoyment of it.
Throughout the book, comments from Epstein’s mother and others highlighted his academic prowess and later accomplishments. The release of these documents has sparked renewed interest in Epstein’s associations and activities, shedding light on his network of connections and the dynamics of his relationships.
