The House Oversight Committee has deepened its probe into the federal government’s investigation of the late, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, issuing a subpoena to his estate for an array of documents.
The GOP-led committee issued the subpoena to Epstein’s estate Monday, demanding a slew of documents that include the so-called “birthday book” – a reported collection of letters gifted to Epstein for his 50th birthday that included a note bearing President Donald Trump’s name. Trump has repeatedly denied writing the letter and sued The Wall Street Journal, which first reported on it, for defamation.
“Recent reporting indicates the estate of Mr. Epstein has access to documents relevant to the Committee’s investigation, including the alleged ‘birthday book’ prepared for Mr. Epstein by Ms. Maxwell,” GOP Chairman James Comer wrote in a letter to Epstein’s estate.
The committee is also seeking Epstein’s will, all non-disclosure agreements executed by him, his financial documents and “any document or record that could be reasonably construed to be a potential list of clients involved in sex, sex acts, or sex trafficking” facilitated by Epstein. In a statement, Comer signaled that people involved in Epstein’s estate are willing to comply with the subpoena. He set a deadline of September 8 for the estate to hand over the documents.
