Epstein Estate to Hand Over 2003 ‘Birthday Book’ to House Panel by Sept. 8

The expected production would give investigators direct access to material the Justice Department has not publicly released.

Overview

  • Rep. Robert Garcia said the estate will provide the leather‑bound birthday book and additional documents to the House Oversight Committee around Sept. 8 in response to a subpoena.
  • The book reportedly includes a 2003 message attributed to President Donald Trump; he denies authorship and has sued the Wall Street Journal and related parties for libel seeking at least $10 billion.
  • The subpoena signed by Chairman James Comer directs the estate to produce a scanned copy of the birthday book and any records that could be reasonably construed as a potential list of clients.
  • The committee intensified its inquiry after a DOJ/FBI memo said no further files would be released, and Garcia said many Epstein survivors will meet with lawmakers next week.
  • A committee spokesperson said former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta will sit for a transcribed interview next month, while a subpoena for Robert Mueller was withdrawn due to health reasons.
