A newly revealed birthday card sent by Donald Trump to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has sparked renewed scrutiny over their relationship. The card, obtained by The Independent, includes a strange doodle alongside Trump's signature, adding another layer to the long-standing controversy.
The Mysterious Doodle
The card, sent in the early 2000s, features an odd sketch resembling a stick figure or abstract shape. While its meaning remains unclear, its presence has fuelled speculation about the nature of Trump and Epstein's association.
History of Connections
Trump and Epstein were known to socialise in the same circles during the 1990s and early 2000s. Though Trump later claimed to have "fallen out" with Epstein, this newly uncovered correspondence suggests their relationship may have been more cordial than previously admitted.
Ongoing Controversy
Epstein's 2019 death in prison while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges remains shrouded in conspiracy theories. The emergence of this birthday card is likely to reignite debates about powerful figures' ties to the disgraced financier.
Legal experts suggest such personal correspondence could potentially be relevant to ongoing civil cases related to Epstein's activities, though Trump faces no direct allegations of wrongdoing in these matters.
