The House Oversight Committee is set to acquire the notorious "book" of the late convicted sex offender, as revealed by Democrat California Rep.
Robert Garcia on MSNBCs All In With Chris Hayes last Friday. This infamous "book" is expected to be in the committee's possession by September 8th.
According to the Daily Caller, the Wall Street Journal reported in July that it had allegedly procured documents of birthday letters to Epstein from 2003, which included several high-profile names.
Garcia, discussing the House's efforts to release the remaining Epstein files, informed Chris Hayes that the committee would not only hear from numerous victims of Epstein but would also receive the notorious "book" from the Epstein estate.
"We have many of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein coming to Capitol Hill this upcoming week. They're talking to lawmakers. We're meeting with them. We're going to highlight their stories. We've got to center these victims," Garcia stated. He also revealed that the Epstein estate had agreed to provide the infamous book, which contained a note allegedly doodled by Donald Trump to Epstein, his purported best friend of 10 to 15 years.
Garcia further stated, "The Epstein estate is actually going to get us that book and a bunch of other documents that they have thats actually not been reported yet, reported here for the first time. Were going to get those documents as we understand it now on September 8, and so that will continue our investigation."
He then raised questions about the whereabouts of the remaining documents and what Pam Bondi and Donald Trump might be concealing, urging an end to the cover-up and a pursuit of the truth.
The Wall Street Journal's initial report alleged that President Trump had sent Epstein a letter in 2003, featuring the outline of a "naked woman," a claim Trump has refuted. The letter, reviewed by the WSJ, reportedly included Trumps alleged bawdy signature and several lines of typewritten text, framed by the outline of a "naked woman," seemingly "hand-drawn with a heavy marker," with Trump's signature allegedly placed below the drawing's waist.
The letter concluded with, "Happy Birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret," as per the WSJ.
In response to these allegations, Trump filed a lawsuit against billionaire Rupert Murdoch, Dow Jones & Company Inc., News Corporation, and the two WSJ reporters who authored the piece. He denied the claims, labeling the letter a "fake thing" and dismissing the story as false.
The WSJ later identified other high-profile individuals who allegedly wrote Epstein birthday letters, including former President Bill Clinton, Wall Street billionaire Leon Black, fashion designer Vera Wang, media owner Mort Zuckerman, and billionaire and former Microsoft executive Nathan Myhrvold.
Trump's association with Epstein has been documented previously, with Trump lauding the deceased sex offender before Epstein's first criminal charges in 2006. The Washington Post reports that Trump and Epstein parted ways by 2004, reportedly over a dispute concerning a Palm Beach property.
The Epstein case resurfaced in the media in July, following the Department of Justice's discreet release of a memo stating that the FBI found no "client list" and no foul play in Epstein's death. This was met with resistance from Republicans. Attorney General Pam Bondi pledged full transparency regarding the remaining "Epstein files" and the individuals involved in his business.
Following Trump's calls to "produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval" concerning Epstein's case, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche interviewed convicted sex trafficker and Epstein's longtime partner Ghislaine Maxwell in July.
On August 22, the Department of Justice released the full interview, in which Maxwell claimed she does not recall Trump giving Epstein a birthday card.
