Overview

• The subpoena seeks unredacted materials including Epstein’s will, contact and address books, any “Black Book,” flight logs, financial and banking records, nondisclosure agreements, and any record that could be construed as a client list, with production due by Sept. 8.
• Lawmakers requested all entries from a leather-bound 50th birthday book compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell; the Wall Street Journal reported it included a note bearing President Donald Trump’s name, which he denies and is suing the paper over.
• Chairman James Comer set a Sept. 19 transcribed interview with former U.S. attorney Alex Acosta, whose office approved the 2007–08 non-prosecution agreement that DOJ later said reflected poor judgment.
• Counsel for Epstein’s estate said the co-executors are reviewing the subpoena and intend to comply with all lawful process.
• The Justice Department delivered thousands of pages of records to the committee last week that Democrats say were largely already public, as courts have resisted broad unsealing of grand-jury material and the committee accepts written declarations from former attorneys general stating they have no relevant information.
