A House committee wants a copy of the Jeffrey Epstein birthday book that reportedly contains a ribald message from President Donald Trump.
The House Oversight Committee is subpoenaing the late financier’s estate to explore a possible mismanagement of a federal government investigation involving Epstein and his former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell.

The subpoena, signed on Aug. 25 by Rep. James Comer, the Republican chair of the oversight committee, requests Epstein’s will, any disclosure agreements he signed, the non-prosecutorial agreement Epstein signed with Southern District of Florida official in 2007, his financial transactions and holdings as well as any documents that could make up a “potential client list,” including phone logs and visitors logs.

The first item the subpoena provides Congress with is “all entries contained within the reported leather-bound book compiled by Ms. Ghislaine Maxwell for Mr. Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday.”
Trump has denied writing an off-color message to Epstein in the book, and sued the Wall Street Journal after the outlet reported on his birthday greeting.
