A previously unseen birthday card sent by Donald Trump to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has emerged, sparking renewed debate about their relationship. The card, obtained by The Independent, includes a handwritten note and a doodle of what appears to be a stick figure.
The Controversial Connection
The existence of the card adds fuel to long-standing questions about the nature of Trump's ties to Epstein, who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. While Trump has repeatedly denied any close friendship with Epstein, the personalised nature of the card suggests a more familiar relationship than previously acknowledged.
Details of the Card
The birthday message, written in Trump's distinctive style, accompanies a simple drawing. Experts suggest the doodle may have been intended as a lighthearted gesture, but its emergence years later takes on new significance given Epstein's notoriety.
Political analysts note that this revelation comes at a sensitive time for Trump, who is currently campaigning for another presidential term. Opponents are likely to seize on the card as evidence of questionable associations in Trump's past.
White House Response
Representatives for the former president have not yet commented on the authenticity of the card. However, Trump has previously stated that he had "fallen out" with Epstein years before the financier's legal troubles became public.
This development follows other recent revelations about Epstein's network of powerful associates, keeping public interest in the case alive despite his death.
