House Oversight Receives Epstein Estate Documents Including Birthday Book

The House Oversight Committee has begun receiving a series of documents from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, including the so-called "birthday book" compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell for Epstein's 50th birthday, which reportedly contains a letter from President Donald Trump when he was a private citizen. The committee had subpoenaed the estate last month seeking a wide range of materials such as Epstein's will, flight logs, financial records, and potentially a client list related to Epstein's sex trafficking charges. President Trump has denied writing any letter for the birthday book and has filed a defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, which first reported on the letter's existence. The document transfer to the committee is part of a broader bipartisan investigation into Epstein's network and the Department of Justice's handling of the case. Committee members hope these documents will shed new light on Epstein's relationships with elite individuals and provide transparency in the ongoing probe. The estate's executors have committed to complying with the subpoena and producing documents on an agreed schedule.
