Trigger Warning: Topic mentions sex-trafficking and misogynistic and abusive behavior

On Monday, the GOP-led House Oversight Committee released digital images of the entire birthday album compiled for Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday by his sex-trafficking accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. The images include a hand-drawn sketch of a naked woman with arguably under-developed breasts, wording that speaks to the “wonderful secret” shared between Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump, and a hand-drawn “Donald” signature on the sketch that mimics pubic hair.

While the White House continues to deflect all things Epstein, has claimed that the book doesn’t exist and denies that the signature is Donald Trump’s, Mary Trump thinks otherwise. On Monday, Donald Trump’s out lesbian niece weighed in on X: “That’s definitely his signature. Just saying.”

Mary Trump’s statement came after Epstein estate lawyers gave Congress a copy of the birthday book, which is now in the hands of the House Oversight Committee which had subpoenaed the material. The existence of the Trump birthday sketch tribute was first reported by The Wall Street Journal in July.

According to the New York Times, Trump typically reserved a first-name only signature for personal notes. Letters he wrote to New York City officials from 1987 through 2001 show him signing with just the name, “Donald” – those signatures closely matching the version of his signature on the Epstein note. The Times also notes that they all include a long tail following the final “d” of his name.

The 238-page birthday book contains numerous tributes from Epstein’s friends and colleagues that were gathered by Maxwell in 2003. “It offers a vivid portrait of how Mr. Epstein’s lewd and lecherous behavior with young women was both widely known and widely celebrated by people who described themselves as his closest friends and associates,” the Times reported. The tributes to Epstein’s debauchery are many:

Venture capitalist William Elkus described Epstein conjuring a beautiful woman out of thin air in a farm town in Iowa, where it was hard to “tell the difference between the girls and the hogs.” Another contributor included photos of zebras and lions having sex. Another alludes to when Epstein first “discovered the Maxwell teen-age daughter” in the mid-1970s. One cartoon depicted a nude Epstein on a beach chair getting massaged by four topless women. Joel Pashcow, a member of Mar-a-Lago club, joked about brokering the sale of a depreciated woman by Epstein to Trump for $22,500. Other well-wishers include former Victoria’s Secret CEO Les Wexner, attorney Alan Dershowitz and Jean Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent who died by suicide in jail after being charged with raping teenage girls.

And then there’s Donald’s sketch with a mock voice-over in a now well-known poem that includes the wording: “We have certain things in common…A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”
