A purported “birthday letter” attributed to former U.S. President Donald Trump allegedly sent to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has been widely dismissed as a fake, with critics highlighting its inauthentic tone and poor imitation of Trump’s style. The text, which includes phrases like “Enigmas never age” and “may every day be another wonderful secret,” was described as a clumsy attempt to mimic Trump’s voice, featuring a signature that appears artificially created.

The document emerged amid ongoing scrutiny of Epstein’s connections, including a recently released set of materials by the House Oversight Committee. Among these files is an entry reportedly from former President Bill Clinton, praising Epstein’s “childlike curiosity” and “drive to make a difference.” The message, part of a compilation known as Epstein’s “birthday book,” has drawn attention despite claims of its authenticity.

The White House has denied any involvement, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt stating, “President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it.” Meanwhile, Clinton’s office has yet to comment on the alleged message. Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges, maintained relationships with prominent figures, including Clinton, who reportedly traveled on his private jet.

The controversy underscores lingering questions about Epstein’s network, though no criminal charges have been filed against Trump or Clinton related to the case.
