Donald Trump is once again in the spotlight after recently unsealed documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein’s estate revealed a signed note allegedly written by Trump in a “birthday book” given to Epstein for his 50th birthday.
In the note, Trump reportedly penned a message referring to Epstein as a “terrific guy”—a line that has reignited controversy over his past ties to the disgraced financier. While Trump has previously downplayed his relationship with Epstein, the resurfaced scrapbook is reviving public interest and raising questions.
When pressed on the matter during a media appearance on September 9, 2025, Trump brushed it off entirely, calling it a “dead issue.” He added that any necessary comments had already been provided through his staff and that he had nothing further to say.
The Epstein birthday book was among a collection of newly released materials made public by a House committee investigating connections between Epstein and various high-profile individuals. While the note itself doesn’t imply any direct involvement in Epstein’s criminal activities, critics argue it adds to a troubling pattern of associations.
As more Epstein-related documents trickle out, it remains to be seen whether this truly is a “dead issue” or one that’s just beginning to heat up again.
