The lawsuit comes after The Wall Street Journal reported on a 50th birthday greeting to Jeffrey Epstein that Trump allegedly sent in 2003 that included a sexually suggestive drawing and a reference to secrets they shared.

1997 Trump and Epstein were photographed standing near each other at a Victoria’s Secret “Angels” party, according to a Getty image of Trump posing with model Ingrid Seynhaeve that shows Epstein in the background.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Under intense pressure from President Donald Trump’s own supporters, his administration now says it will push a court to unseal secret documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s case in an effort to put to rest for good a political crisis largely of its own making.

Steve Bannon joined a growing chorus of MAGA influencers coalescing behind President Donald Trump in the wake of the Wall Street Journal report about a ribald birthday letter bearing Trump’s name that was sent to Jeffrey Epstein,

The cards were surreptitiously inserted onto a souvenir carousel and featured an old photo of Trump with the late convicted sex offender Epstein, when the pair were close friends, said comedy duo Davram Stiefler and Jason Selvig, known as The Good Liars, who were behind the stunt.

Elon Musk has weighed back into the Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein drama he helped create with a string of spicy social media posts. On Thursday, the president was pulled back into the Epstein saga after a Wall Street Journal article claimed Trump once sent the sex offender a letter including a drawing of a naked woman.

The passing of the spending clawback comes at a time when Trump's MAGA base has revolted over findings that there was not a "client list" of Epstein's.

Calls for transparency on Epstein came from several Republicans on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. And Trump's own former vice president, Mike Pence, called for the administration to "release all of the files" regarding the Epstein investigation.
