The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has recently acquired files from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, which include the controversial "Birthday Book." This document supposedly contains a provocative message from former President Donald Trump, sketched around the silhouette of a woman’s body, accompanied by the words, "we have certain things in common, Jeffrey." The Wall Street Journal was the first to report on this discovery, indicating that the book was put together by Ghislaine Maxwell for Epstein's 50th birthday.

Despite the revelations, Trump has publicly denied any connection to the letter. However, Rep. Robert Garcia, a leading Democrat on the committee, challenged this denial. “The Oversight Committee has secured the infamous ‘Birthday Book’ that contains a note from President Trump that he has said does not exist," Garcia stated. "It’s time for the President to tell us the truth about what he knew and release all the Epstein files. The American people are demanding answers."

Adding to the intrigue, the X account for Oversight Democrats posted an image of the letter, hinting at deeper secrets between Trump and Epstein, with a caption questioning, "What is he hiding? Release the files!"

The committee also received other significant documents, including Epstein’s last will from 2019, his non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. attorney's office in South Florida, various contact entries spanning nearly three decades, and details of Epstein’s bank accounts.

The materials were subpoenaed by Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) as part of an investigation into the Department of Justice's management of the Epstein case. This move is part of a broader strategy by House GOP leadership to counter efforts by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who is pushing for a mandatory DOJ release of all Epstein-related files within 30 days.

A spokesperson for the Republican side of the Oversight Committee did not immediately comment on the matter. Meanwhile, it remains uncertain when these estate materials will be made available to the public or how extensively they might be redacted. The first batch of DOJ materials provided to the committee included about 33,000 files, most of which were already public, leading to frustration over the lack of transparency.

Committee aides have indicated that they will review the documents and plan to make them public soon, which could provide more clarity and potentially more controversies depending on the contents revealed.
