Donald Trump's "birthday note" to Jeffrey Epstein has been released - despite the President denying he ever sent it.
The note, apparently a signed sketch of a naked woman's torso, ends with what appears to be Mr Trump's signature.
It contains a transcribed "voice over" exchange between the two men in which Mr Trump allegedly says: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."
The exchange continues with the President saying: "Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?" to which Epstein replies: "As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you."
Mr Trump's "note" finishes: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy birthday - and may every day be another wonderful secret."

Lawyers for Epstein's estate had given Congress a copy of the "birthday book" put together for the disgraced financier's 50th birthday - which Democrats then released.
The Wall Street Journal had reported on the letter's existence earlier this year - which the President has labelled "false, malicious, and defamatory" and the White House firmly denies.
Mr Trump is suing the newspaper and its owners, including Rupert Murdoch, for some £7.4billion as a result.
This is the first time the "birthday note" has been pictured.
Last night, the White House issued another denial - with press secretary Karoline Leavitt blasting "fake news" and the "Democrat Epstein hoax".

"The latest piece published by the Wall Street Journal proves this entire 'birthday card' story is false," Ms Leavitt said.
"As I have said all along, it's very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it.
"President Trump's legal team will continue to aggressively pursue litigation.
"Furthermore, the 'reporter' Joe Palazzolo who wrote this hatchet job reached out for comment at the exact same minute he published his story, giving us no time to respond.
"This is FAKE NEWS to perpetuate the Democrat Epstein hoax," she added.

Mr Trump was allegedly listed under the "friends" section of the book's contents, along with Bill Clinton and around 20 other associates.
"President Trump called the Epstein investigation a hoax and claimed that his birthday note didn't exist," Democrat Congressman Robert Garcia said on Monday.
"Now we know that Donald Trump was lying and is doing everything he can to cover up the truth... Enough of the games and lies, release the full files now."
