• House oversight committee releases Epstein birthday book documents in response to subpoena — The House oversight committee released a batch of documents, including Epstein's birthday book containing the disputed letter allegedly signed by Trump, in response to a subpoena. The release reignited public controversy over Trump's connection to Epstein and prompted the White House to intensify its denial campaign. The committee's action also prompted discussion of a bipartisan resolution directing the Department of Justice to release all investigative files on Epstein, which appears headed toward gaining sufficient support to force action on the House floor.
• House Oversight Committee released Epstein estate documents including Trump letter — The House Oversight Committee, which had subpoenaed Epstein's estate for documents, publicly released materials on September 8 including a 238-page birthday book from 2003. Page 165 contained a letter from Trump to Epstein that precisely matched the description in the Wall Street Journal article Trump had sued over, directly contradicting Trump's claim that the letter was "fake and nonexistent" and undermining his assertion that Democrats had planted damaging material in DOJ files.
• House Oversight released Epstein estate records with Trump birthday note — The House Oversight Committee released records from Jeffrey Epstein's estate, including a note signed by Trump that was part of the sex trafficker's 50th birthday "book." The text read "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey" and "Happy birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret." The records also included another entry from a Mar-a-Lago member featuring a photo of Epstein with a caption about selling a woman to Trump for $22,500.
