It also once again puts a spotlight on Trump\u2019s former friendship with Epstein, which the president has said ended two decades ago after a falling-out. Trump said recently that he cut ties with Epstein\u00a0because he \u201cstole\u201d young women<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 including\u00a0Virginia Giuffre<\/a>, who was among Epstein\u2019s most well-known sex trafficking accusers \u2014 who worked for the spa at his Mar-a-Lago resort.\n<\/p>\n

The case against Epstein was brought more than a decade after he secretly cut a deal with federal prosecutors in Florida to dispose of nearly identical allegations. Trump had suggested during the presidential campaign that he\u2019d seek to open the government\u2019s files into Epstein, but much of what the government has released so far had already been out there.\n<\/p>\n

Democrats on the\u00a0House Oversight Committee<\/a>\u00a0received a copy of the birthday album on Monday as part of a batch of documents from Epstein\u2019s estate.\n<\/p>\n

Trump has denied writing the letter and creating the drawing, calling The Wall Street Journal report on it \u201cfalse, malicious, and defamatory.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\u201cThese are not my words, not the way I talk. Also, I don\u2019t draw pictures,\u201d Trump said.\n<\/p>\n

The letter released by the committee looks exactly as described by The Wall Street Journal in its report.\n<\/p>\n

The letter bearing Trump\u2019s name and what appears to be his signature includes text framed by a hand-drawn outline of a curvaceous woman.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cA pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday \u2014 and may every day be another wonderful secret,\u201d the letter says.\n<\/p>\n

The letter\u2019s disclosure comes amid a bipartisan push in Congress for the release of the so-called Epstein files amid years of speculation and conspiracy theories. Calls for the release of the records came from Republicans, including Vice President JD Vance, before he was sworn into the country\u2019s No. 2 position.\n<\/p>\n

The Justice Department in August began turning over records from the Epstein sex trafficking investigation to the House Oversight Committee.\n<\/p>\n

The committee subpoenaed the Epstein estate for documents last month. In addition to the birthday book, lawmakers requested Epstein\u2019s last will and testament, agreements he signed with prosecutors, his contact books, and his financial transactions and holdings.\n<\/p>\n
