Just when you thought the Trump saga couldn't get any stranger, here comes another twist: a scandal involving an allegedly scandalous sketch and a notorious birthday album.

In an unexpected turn of events, former President Donald Trump has directed his attorney general, Pam Bondi, to release grand jury testimonies related to the infamous Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking case. The directive aims to quell a controversy swirling around an explosive report: a Wall Street Journal claim that Trump contributed a 'bawdy' sketch of a naked woman to Epstein's 50th birthday album, compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell.

According to the report, the alleged letter features a silhouette of a nude woman with Trump's signature strategically placed as a 'squiggly' mark, mimicking pubic hair. The letter ends with a birthday wish: 'Happy Birthday – and may every day be another wonderful secret.'

Trump vehemently denies the authenticity of this letter, calling it part of a 'Epstein Hoax,' and announced plans to sue the Wall Street Journal, News Corp, and Rupert Murdoch for defamation. The former president claims he personally warned both Murdoch and the Journal's editor-in-chief against publishing the story, as the letter was reportedly fake.

As the intrigue deepened, the Journal disclosed that Maxwell had amassed birthday messages from Trump and other notable friends of Epstein, including L Brands owner Les Wexner and attorney Alan Dershowitz. The album, examined by the Justice Department during investigations of Epstein and Maxwell, remains a topic of intense speculation.

While the authenticity of the letter remains under scrutiny, the saga has sparked fresh debate and curiosity among Trump's supporters, critics, and the media. The grand jury testimonies, if released, could shed more light on the connections between Epstein and his high-profile acquaintances.
