## Resource

On September 8–9, 2025, lawyers for Jeffrey Epstein’s estate turned over a leather-bound “birthday book” created for his 50th birthday in 2003 to the House Oversight Committee, complying with a subpoena. The committee then made the material public, including a controversial page featuring a crude sketch of a naked woman, allegedly signed by Donald Trump with the message: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.” The Trump team and the White House immediately denounced the page as fake, with Trump filing a massive defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, which first reported on the letter. The release instantly triggered partisan battles in Congress, with Democrats arguing the book exposed the scope of Epstein’s influence while Republicans dismissed the publication as politically motivated. Beyond the Trump controversy, the collection contained contributions from a wide array of Epstein’s powerful associates. Pages included notes from Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz, and Leon Black, as well as a striking letter from UK diplomat Peter Mandelson calling Epstein “my best pal.” Compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell, the book also featured photos of Epstein’s youth, a copy of his birth certificate, and personal memorabilia. While the estate redacted some images of women and minors for privacy reasons, the book’s publication has fueled renewed calls from victims and lawmakers for total transparency, underscoring how Epstein’s connections spanned politics, business, and academia at the highest levels. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Jeffrey Epstein: House committee releases ‘birthday book,’ other records from Epstein estate | CNN Politics
