US House Oversight Committee receives Epstein 'birthday book,' including alleged Trump letter

By Yasin Gungor

ISTANBUL (AA) - The Oversight Committee of the US House of Representatives on Monday obtained a series of documents from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, including a so-called “birthday book” that allegedly contains a 2003 letter from President Donald Trump.

"HERE IT IS: We got Trump's birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein that the President said doesn't exist," the House Oversight Committee's Democratic minority wrote on US social media company X, posting an image of the alleged letter, written within a doodle of what appears to be a naked woman's body.

"Trump talks about a 'wonderful secret' the two of them shared. What is he hiding? Release the files!" said the post on the documents, received in response to a late-August subpoena as part of its probe into Epstein.

Congressman Robert Garcia, leader of Oversight Democrats, announced that they received "the Epstein birthday book and additional documents from the Epstein estate," suggesting more information would be forthcoming.

The revelation comes amid ongoing bipartisan congressional efforts to force the release of all federal documents related to Epstein, the disgraced financier who died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking charges.

Representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna introduced a bill requiring the Justice Department to release documents, and filed a discharge petition to force a House vote on transparency.
