From Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/house-democrats-release-alleged-trump-birthday-letter-epstein-2025-09-08/

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released the letter after Congress received the 2003 “birthday book” from Epstein’s lawyers, the Journal reported on Monday. The letter is dated three years before allegations of sex abuse by Epstein became public in 2006.

The letter contains text of a purported dialogue between Trump and Epstein in which Trump calls him a “pal” and says, “May every day be another wonderful secret.” The text sits within a crude sketch of the silhouette of a naked woman.

White House deputy chief of staff Taylor Budowich denounced the release, saying the signature on the letter is not Trump’s and alluding to Trump’s lawsuit against the Journal’s parent company, News Corp.

      The text of the note had been reported previously, but the actual image/layout had not been released

        Ah that’s it. They must have also included the description of the drawing around the text, and the location of the signature, because goddamn Colbert had a decent replica of this a long time ago.
