Epstein ‘birthday book’ to be delivered to Congress by Sept. 8 deadline

Lawmakers are on the brink of obtaining Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous “birthday book,” a potential treasure trove of information regarding the late financier’s social connections. Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, recently revealed to MSNBC that Epstein’s estate has agreed to hand over the book, along with other undisclosed documents, to lawmakers. The anticipated delivery date for these materials is set for September 8.

Garcia also mentioned that several of Epstein’s victims are scheduled to share their stories with lawmakers on Capitol Hill in the coming week. The identities of these victims and the lawmakers they will meet with have not been disclosed.

The House Oversight Committee, under the leadership of Chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., has issued a subpoena to Epstein’s estate for the release of the “birthday book” and other pertinent documents. The specific deadline outlined in the subpoena is September 8 at 12:00 p.m.

According to Comer, the committee is investigating various aspects related to Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, including potential mishandling of the federal government’s investigation, circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death, and the operation of sex-trafficking rings. The subpoena also seeks to address any potential ethics violations by elected officials in connection to the case.

House Oversight Democrats have voiced their support for the subpoena and have called for former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta to testify before Congress. It is expected that Acosta will participate in a closed-door interview next month.

As the federal probe into the Epstein case continues, lawmakers are seeking testimony from key figures such as former Attorney General Bill Barr. While Barr has already testified before Congress, some Democrats remain unsatisfied with the line of questioning from Republicans.

Despite disagreements over Barr’s testimony, it is essential for lawmakers to conduct a thorough and bipartisan investigation into the Epstein case without politicizing the matter. The pursuit of justice for Epstein’s victims and accountability for all involved remains a top priority for the House Oversight Committee.
