Epstein Estate to Deliver 'Birthday Book' to House Oversight by Sept. 8, Lawmaker Says

The book reportedly contains a 2003 message to Jeffrey Epstein that The Wall Street Journal attributed to President Trump.

Overview

  • Rep. Robert Garcia said the estate will provide the leather-bound birthday book and additional records to the committee around Sept. 8 in response to a subpoena.
  • A spokesman for Chairman James Comer said the panel expects a scanned copy of the book and other materials from the estate.
  • Garcia said many Epstein victims are scheduled to meet with lawmakers on Capitol Hill next week to share their accounts.
  • Trump denies the Journal’s reporting about the 2003 message and has sued the outlet and its parent companies for libel, seeking at least $10 billion.
  • The committee’s broader probe continues after an unsigned DOJ/FBI memo declined further public releases, and it has scheduled a Sept. 19 transcribed interview with former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta while withdrawing a subpoena to Robert Mueller for health reasons.
