US House committee requests Epstein 'birthday book' from his estate

The US House Committee on Oversight and Reform has subpoenaed the so-called "birthday book" from the estate of the late Jeffrey Epstein. The book is believed to contain notes from Epstein's associates regarding his birthday celebrations and interactions with individuals. The committee is investigating Epstein's crimes and potential connections to influential individuals. The subpoena aims to shed light on Epstein's activities and any potential involvement of others in his alleged sex trafficking and abuse. Epstein, a wealthy financier, was arrested in 2019 on charges of sex trafficking of minors and died in prison later that year. The investigation into his crimes and potential co-conspirators is ongoing, with the committee seeking to uncover any relevant information from Epstein's personal records. The subpoena of the "birthday book" is a significant step in the committee's efforts to thoroughly examine Epstein's activities and any potential wider implications or involvement of other parties in his alleged crimes.
