The Wall Street Journal contains the same allegations about L Brands founder and New Albany billionaire Leslie Wexner.
Wexner, the prominent Ohio State University alumnus and donor, was a former business associate of Epstein and is now Ohio's richest person with an estimated worth of $10 billion. Epstein, who died by suicide while in prison in 2019, allegedly ran a sex trafficking ring that trafficked underage girls to rich people.
The Wall Street Journal alleges both Trump and Wexner, along with dozens of other people, wrote birthday cards to Epstein on his 50th birthday that were compiled together in a book. Both Trump and Wexner allegedly wrote notes to Epstein and drew naked photos of women.
The newspaper wrote, "Among those who submitted letters were billionaire Leslie Wexner... Epstein was Wexner鈥檚 money manager at the time. The longtime leader of wrote a short message that said: 'I wanted to get you what you want鈥o here it is'鈥�.鈥� After the text was a line drawing of what appeared to be a woman鈥檚 breasts.
A spokesman for Wexner declined to comment to both 星空无限传媒 and the Wall Street Journal.
The newspaper wrote the leather-bound birthday book , who wrote 鈥淗appy Birthday 鈥� and may every day be another wonderful secret."
The wall Street Journal reported Trump's signature on the letter was written in the form of text inside a hand-drawn outline of a nude woman, is "a squiggly 'Donald' below her waist, mimicking pubic hair."
Trump has denied writing the note and has vowed to sue the newspaper.
Wexner has previously denounced Epstein and said he cut ties with him in 2007, after allegations against Epstein for sleeping with a minor first emerged.
The relationship between Wexner and Epstein ran deep. Wexner granted Epstein authority to act on his behalf with power of attorney. At one point, Wexner was Epstein's only known client.
The two also created the New Albany Corporation together to help develop the Columbus suburb. Epstein also once owned a house in the town.
Epstein was also a Wexner Foundation trustee. The foundation focuses on Jewish education and leadership. The organization has downplayed Epstein's involvement, saying he participated in name only and was not involved in any day-to-day activities.
The news comes as the 2019 death of the disgraced financier and sex-offender is the source of turmoil in the world of Trump's MAGA base of supporters. Many in Trump's base are furious over his administration's handling of the Epstein files.
Many conspiracy theorists think files and evidence compiled by law enforcement against Epstein will link prominent politicians and rich people to the alleged sex trafficking ring.
Wexner and Trump have denied taking part in Epstein's wrongdoing.
