New details have emerged about the personal relationships of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, revealing that several high-profile friends sent him bawdy, irreverent letters to commemorate his 50th birthday. Among them was former U.S. President Donald Trump, who contributed a note to what insiders describe as a racy and ego-stroking birthday album.
The album, assembled in the early 2000s, featured messages from Epstein’s elite circle — a mix of wealthy businessmen, celebrities, and political figures — filled with humor, off-color jokes, and personal anecdotes. Trump’s contribution reportedly reflected their once-friendly rapport during a period when both men were active in New York’s social scene and the Palm Beach circuit.
The contents of the birthday album, now part of sealed court documents under renewed legal scrutiny, provide a glimpse into the social ecosystem that shielded Epstein for years. While the tone of the letters may appear light-hearted, their inclusion in the wider investigation highlights the close ties Epstein maintained with figures of influence.
Trump has previously acknowledged knowing Epstein, once calling him a “terrific guy” in a 2002 interview, though he later distanced himself after Epstein’s arrest. The birthday album raises fresh questions about the extent and nature of their relationship prior to Epstein’s public fall from grace.
The resurfacing of these documents comes as multiple lawsuits continue to unwind Epstein’s network and legacy, placing new attention on those who maintained personal or professional relationships with him during his peak.
