House Oversight Committee Receives Epstein Estate Documents Including Birthday Book

The House Oversight Committee has received the first batch of documents from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate in response to a subpoena issued by Chairman James Comer, including Epstein's last will and testament, his 2007 non-prosecution agreement, address and contact books, bank account information, and the infamous "birthday book" compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell for Epstein's 50th birthday. The birthday book contains a note purportedly from President Donald Trump, which Trump has denied writing, leading to a legal dispute with the Wall Street Journal and others over the authenticity of the letter and signature. Democrats on the committee have publicly highlighted this note, accusing Trump of dishonesty and attempting to cover up the truth, while Trump and his supporters maintain the note is forged. Committee staff are reviewing the documents and plan to make them public soon, though some partisan disagreement remains over the implications of the materials. The document release marks a significant step in ongoing congressional investigations into Epstein’s sex trafficking network and the connections of various individuals, with further interviews and subpoenas anticipated. The controversy underscores the continuing political battles surrounding Epstein’s legacy and the scrutiny of President Trump’s ties to the financier.
