The release comes after Trump had previously denied the letter's existence.
The letter concludes with the phrase, "Happy birthday – and may every day be another wonderful secret."
The signature is placed below the woman's waist, resembling pubic hair.
Trump, a long-time acquaintance of Epstein's, has denied any wrongdoing and is suing The Wall Street Journal for at least $10 billion after it reported on the letter's existence. He maintains that he never sent it.
Political Fallout and Broader Controversy
Epstein, a wealthy financier with high-level connections worldwide, was found dead in his jail cell in 2019 before his trial for sex trafficking.
The Epstein case has been closely followed by Trump supporters for years, with many believing that "deep state" figures in the Democratic Party and Hollywood are protecting Epstein's associates.
However, some supporters of the Republican billionaire were frustrated after the FBI and the Department of Justice confirmed in July that Epstein died by suicide and did not have a "client list."
The American president has intensified initiatives to quell the controversy over the Epstein case, which has spread even to his electoral base.
