‘Wonderful Secret’: Epstein Files Include Drawing of Nude Woman Trump Sent to Late Sex Trafficker For His Birthday, WSJ Reports

The Wall Street Journal published its highly anticipated story on the relationship between President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday, and Trump is already threatening to sue.

In the article, the Journal reported that for Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003, Trump sent the future convict a birthday letter containing a drawing of a nude woman:

The letter bearing Trump’s name, which was reviewed by the Journal, is bawdy—like others in the album. It contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker. A pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the future president’s signature is a squiggly “Donald” below her waist, mimicking pubic hair.

The letter concludes: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”

The letter was part of an album compiled by Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for child sex trafficking.

“Pages from the leather-bound album—assembled before Epstein was first arrested in 2006—are among the documents examined by Justice Department officials who investigated Epstein and Maxwell years ago, according to people who have reviewed the pages,” the Journal stated.

The president denies he drew the image.

“This is not me. This is a fake thing. It’s a fake Wall Street Journal story,” he told the publication on Tuesday. “I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women,” he said. “It’s not my language. It’s not my words.”

Trump also threatened to sue the Journal.

“I’m gonna sue The Wall Street Journal just like I sued everyone else,” he said.

The Journal further reported that Trump’s note featured an imaginary conversation between Trump and Epstein:

“Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything,” the note began.

Donald: Yes, there is, but I won’t tell you what it is.

Jeffrey: Nor will I, since I also know what it is.

Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.

Jeffrey: Yes, we do, come to think of it.

Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?

Jeffrey: As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you.

Trump: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.

Epstein was later revealed to be a child sex trafficker. In 2019, authorities say he committed suicide while in a Manhattan jail cell.

Shortly before the Journal published the story, Oliver Darcy of Status News reported that Trump had personally appealed to editor-in-chief Emma Tucker in an attempt to spike the story.

Trump pledged to release the Epstein files to the public, but has since backtracked. Last week, the Department of Justice sparked a furor after it concluded that Epstein did not have the long-rumored client list many believed he had. That finding was a far cry from what Attorney General Pam Bondi said in February, when she claimed the list was “sitting on my desk right now.”

This week, Trump lashed out at his own supporters for demanding the release of the files.

“It’s pretty boring stuff,” he said on Tuesday. “It’s sordid, but it’s boring. And I don’t understand why it keeps going. I think, really, only pretty bad people, including fake news, wanna keep something like that going.”
