“As President Trump continues desperate attempts to quell public interest in the release of files related to his long-time friend, convicted sex offender, and child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, we write with deep concern regarding potential public corruption, abuse of power, and failures in the federal law enforcement response to the Epstein case. Recent public reporting indicates that the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein is in possession of a document commonly referred to as ‘the birthday book,’ compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell in 2003 in celebration of Mr Epstein’s 50th birthday, with clear relevance to this case. To assist in bringing transparency and accountability, we request that you provide a complete, unredacted copy of the 2003 ‘birthday book’ no later than August 10, 2025, which may provide information essential to further our constitutionally obligated congressional oversight efforts,” write House Dems Ro Khanna and Robert Garcia to the attorneys for dead sex trafficker and personal friend to the President of the United States of America, Jeffrey Epstein.

“Public reporting indicates that President Trump submitted a poem and drawing for the ‘birthday book’ and that it contains messages and illustrations from wealthy and powerful friends and associates of Jeffrey Epstein. The book is relevant for ongoing congressional oversight of the Department of Justice’s handling of the Epstein investigation and prosecution, as well as the Trump Administration’s decision to declassify and release only a handful of documents from the its Epstein files while withholding others from the public. In addition, the Comittee has issued a subpoena to depose Ms Maxwell, the book’s alleged creator, and should be permitted to review its contents.”

“Information gathered from this document may also inform the development of legislative reforms addressing sex trafficking networks, financial regulation, or other critical matters of public policy.”
