The House Oversight Committee received the Jeffrey Epstein “birthday book” at the center of President Donald Trump’s Wall Street Journal (WSJ) dispute.

The book, compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell for Epstein’s 50th birthday, is part of the first set of documents from the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein, according to a House Oversight Committee aide. (RELATED: Republicans Block Epstein File Discharge Petition)

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the alleged birthday note Monday.

“As I have said all along, it’s very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it,” she stated on X.

The release includes five of the 16 total requested documents and communications that the committee is set to receive in response to Chairman James Comer’s subpoena issued on August 25.

The committee also obtained Epstein’s last will and testament, which was signed just two days before he was discovered dead on August 8, 2019, according to an NBC News report.

The materials also included the Sept. 24, 2007, non-prosecution agreement between the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida and Epstein, entries from Epstein’s address and contact books spanning January 1, 1990, through August 10, 2019, and information about his known bank accounts, according to the Oversight aide.

Attorneys wrote on behalf of the co-executors for the estate, Epstein’s longtime personal lawyer Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn, in a letter to Oversight Chairman Rep. James Comer obtained by the Daily Caller.

Lawyers for Epstein’s alleged victims filed a federal class action suit in Manhattan in February, 2024, against Indyke and Kahn, according to a New York Times report. The lawsuit accused them of “aiding, abetting and facilitating” Epstein’s sex trafficking operation, according to the outlet.

“Pursuant to telephonic agreement with the Committee, the Co-executors are making an initial production of documents responsive to the Subpoena today and will continue to produce responsive documents, records and other materials on a rolling basis,” the counsel’s Monday letter stated.

“To that end, this letter memorializes the Co-Executors’ first production of documents in response to the Subpoena,” the letter added.
