A 10-foot replica of the alleged birthday card from President Donald Trump to the late convicted sex offender Jefferey Epstein is on display at the National Mall for roughly a week.
Photos of the display depict a replication of the card that Trump allegedly gave to Epstein, which was previously covered by the press in July 2025.
The letter has Trump’s signature and shows a drawing of a nude woman’s body. The card was allegedly given to Epstein in 2003, whose birthday was on Jan. 20.
Another nearby display encourages onlookers to sign their own message to the Trump administration on the card.
The display comes from the Secret Handshake, a group that said the statement appeared overnight Sunday and is permitted to remain up until Friday, according to CNN.
It is not the first display the group has shown off on the National Mall. In September 2025, a statue depicting Trump and Epstein holding hands was displayed “in honor of friendship month,” according to the statue’s plaque. The National Park Service issued a permit to allow this statue to be displayed for a time, though it was removed “due to it not being in compliance with the permit.”
Trump has denied the validity of this birthday card, saying in September that it is “not my signature and not the way I speak.” His son Eric Trump compared the letter’s authenticity in September to the “Russia hoax” and said his father threw Epstein “out of” Mar-a-Lago because he believed Epstein was “a scumbag.”
The president sued the Wall Street Journal, the paper that first reported on the card, and other related parties for its story in July, with Trump seeking $20 billion in damages. The paper has sought to dismiss the lawsuit, calling it an “affront” on the First Amendment.

The Wall Street Journal stood by its story’s authenticity in its motion to dismiss. The outlet also said Trump did not plead that the defendants shared the story with “actual malice” or a subjective awareness of “probable falsity.”
The Washington Examiner contacted the White House for comment and requested a copy of the replica’s permit from the National Park Service.
