On July 17, 2025, The Wall Street Journal published an exclusive report claiming U.S. President Donald Trump once sent a birthday card to since-deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein with a drawing of a nude woman. The card, according to the report, was risqué, and ended with Trump writing, "may every day be another wonderful secret."

Growing controversy over the criminal case files of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein now includes a the Wall Street Journal report of a Trump letter.

The president furiously blamed Democrats and claimed there was no damaging evidence about him in the files, even though the issue has caused a massive split within his right-wing MAGA movement.
