"The GOP-led House Oversight Committee has obtained documents and communications from the Jeffrey Epstein estate on Monday -- including the Epstein "birthday book," which is said to contain the letter that President Donald Trump purportedly signed for Epstein's 50th birthday. Democrats on the committee have shared a photo they say is the page purportedly written by Trump. Ranking Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia posted a photo on X that Democrats say is the page attributed to Trump."
"The committee issued a subpoena in late August for information from the estate, which included a copy of the alleged birthday book compiled for the disgraced financier's 50th birthday. The committee had requested a delivery of the documents -- which includes banking and financial records, flights logs and calendars -- on or before Sept. 8, 2025. The "birthday book" was compiled for Epstein's 50th birthday in 2003, and the Wall Street Journal reported contains a "bawdy" letter from Trump."
"Trump has denied the existence of the letter and filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal. ABC News has not been able to confirm the existence of the letter. Dow Jones, the parent company of the newspaper, said in a statement that it has "full confidence in the rigor and accuracy" of its reporting and "will vigorously defend against any lawsuit.""
"Epstein's former associate Ghislaine Maxwell told a top official for the Justice Department that Epstein asked her to coordinate contributions to his 50th birthday book, but said she could not recall if Trump, then a private citizen, was among those who responded, according to a transcript of Maxwell's interview last month with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche."
