Donald Trump has been dogged by the Jeffrey Epstein scandal for years, as resurfaced documents, photos, and court filings keep linking his name to the disgraced financier’s social orbit. Trump and Epstein were well-acquainted throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, sharing appearances at Mar-a-Lago, social gatherings in Palm Beach, and the same circles of models, moguls, and politicians. While Trump has repeatedly claimed to have cut Epstein off years before his arrest, newly surfaced “Epstein files” — a collection of deposition records, contact lists, and sealed court documents — have reignited speculation about how close their relationship really was. The release of a so-called “birthday book” signed by Trump and letters allegedly exchanged between the two have only deepened the public’s curiosity and the media’s fixation.

Within these documents, online investigators and media outlets have pointed to references to a “John Doe 174,” alleging that this pseudonym refers to Donald Trump. The claim stems from court redactions in Epstein-related filings where certain high-profile individuals were anonymized, fueling widespread debate over who each “Doe” represents. The theory surrounding Trump’s alleged designation as John Doe 174 has spread rapidly since several European and U.S. outlets drew connections between the redacted entries and Trump’s known interactions with Epstein. Whether or not the identification can be proven in court, the allegation alone has amplified political fallout, revived old questions about his social connections, and ensured that the Epstein scandal continues to shadow his public image well into 2025.
