House Oversight Committee Releases Jeffrey Epstein Birthday Book with Notes from Trump, Clinton

The U.S. House Oversight Committee released a 238-page "birthday book" compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell for Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday, revealing crude and salacious content including photos, drawings, and notes from high-profile individuals. Notably, the book contains a poem and an illustration allegedly signed by President Donald Trump, which the White House has denied, calling the signature fake, and Trump himself dismissed the matter as a "dead issue." The book also includes a handwritten note from former President Bill Clinton praising Epstein's "childlike curiosity," highlighting Epstein's connections with prominent political figures. Epstein died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, and Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for aiding his crimes. The release of the book followed a subpoena of Epstein's estate and was part of a larger trove of documents including Epstein's will and address book. The contents of the book provide new insight into Epstein's social circles and the troubling nature of his relationships with wealthy and powerful individuals.
