The estate of Jeffrey Epstein on Monday turned over a tranche of documents subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee.
“Oversight Democrats just received the Epstein birthday book and additional documents from the Epstein estate. More soon,” Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the panel, wrote on X.
The transfer has the potential to shed new light on the many elite relationships maintained by Epstein, the late child sex offender, and his longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving 20 years for crimes related to sex trafficking.
Behind Chair James Comer (R-Ky.), the Oversight Committee had subpoenaed Epstein’s estate last month seeking a number of documents by Sept. 8
The subpoena asked for Epstein’s will; any documents resembling a “client list” related to Epstein’s sex trafficking charges; any “black books” containing Epstein’s contacts; the flight logs from Epstein’s plane and other rented aircraft; and an alleged book of letters from Epstein’s friends commemorating his 50th birthday, among a host of other records.
The birthday book, which was reportedly compiled by Epstein’s longtime associate and girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, includes a letter written by President Trump when he was a private citizen in New York, according to The Wall Street Journal.
“It is our understanding that the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein is in custody and control of documents that may further the Committee’s investigation and legislative goals,” Comer wrote last month in a letter accompanying the subpoena.
“Further, it is our understanding the Estate is ready and willing to provide these documents to the Committee pursuant to a subpoena.”
