A suggestive note and drawing, allegedly created by United States President Donald Trump for sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein in 2003, has been released to the public by the Democratic Party.
This comes after Trump threatened to sue the Wall Street Journal in July for reporting Trump had produced the suggestive letter and drawing as part of an album created by Ghislaine Maxell for Epstein at the time.
The president has denied having anything to do with it.
In response, Trump called the creations “a fake thing,” and added “I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women.”
The Democrats House Oversight Committee says it received a copy of the supposed birthday album on Monday as part of Epstein’s estate along with other documents.

There was no immediate response from the White House or from the President after the release of the images.
In the tweet sent out by the Oversight Committee, the group urged for the release of more files.
“We got Trump’s birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein that the President said doesn’t exist,” the Oversight Committee said in the post.

“Trump talks about a ‘wonderful secret’ the two of them shared. What is he hiding? Release the files!”
The letter bearing Trump’s name and signature includes text framed by a hand-drawn outline of what appears to be a curvaceous woman, consistent with what the Wall Street Journal described in its previous reports.
“A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret,” the letter says.
The letter’s 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’s No. 2 position.
Epstein, a wealthy and well-connected financier, killed himself in a Manhattan jail while awaiting trial in 2019 on charges that said he sexually abused and trafficked dozens of underage girls.
The case was brought more than a decade after he secretly cut a deal with federal prosecutors in Florida to dispose of nearly identical allegations. Epstein was accused of paying underage girls hundreds of dollars in cash for massages and then molesting them.
Trump’s ties to Epstein have been well-documented, though he said they had a falling-out two decades ago.
He has said he kicked the financier out of his private club in Florida after Epstein betrayed him more than once by hiring people who had worked for him.
The president has not been accused of misconduct in connection with their social relationship.
The Justice Department in August began turning over records from the Epstein sex trafficking investigation to the House Oversight Committee.
The committee subpoenaed the Epstein estate for documents last month. In addition to the birthday book, lawmakers requested Epstein’s last will and testament, agreements he signed with prosecutors, his contact books, and his financial transactions and holdings.
