House panel releases birthday book and other records from Epstein estate

A batch of Epstein documents that the convicted sex offender's estate turned over to the House Oversight Committee was released by the panel on Monday evening.The big picture: Committee Chair James Comer in a statement on the documents' release criticized Democrats on the panel for posting a note and doodle featured in Epstein's birthday book containing President Trump's name, which the president strongly denies drawing, ahead of the announcement.He accused them of "cherry-picking documents and politicizing information received" from the Epstein estate on Monday after they posted the doodle, which Trump is suing the Wall Street Journal for defamation over.What they're saying: "Oversight Committee Republicans are focused on running a thorough investigation to bring transparency and accountability for survivors of Epstein's heinous crimes and the American people," Comer said."President Trump is not accused of any wrongdoing and Democrats are ignoring the new information the Committee received today. The Committee will pursue additional Epstein bank records based on this new information. Democrats must decide if their priority is justice for the survivors or politics."Zoom in: In addition to releasing the birthday book that associate Ghislaine Maxwell compiled for Epstein's 50th birthday, the panel released:The late financier's last will and testament, the September 2007 non-prosecution agreement between the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida and Epstein, and entries from his contact book.Read the birthday book in full, via DocumentCloud: Read Epstein's last will and testament, via DocumentCloud: Read the 2007 non-prosecution deal, via DocumentCloud: Go deeper: MAGA claims Trump signature in Epstein birthday book is fake Editor's note: This is a breaking news story.
