House Democrats are pressing for access to a document known as Jeffrey Epstein’s “birthday book,” which reportedly contains a suggestive letter from former President Donald Trump, as part of their ongoing scrutiny of how the Trump administration handled Epstein-related investigations.

In a letter sent Friday to representatives of Epstein’s estate, Reps. Ro Khanna and Robert Garcia—both California Democrats—formally requested the book, which was reportedly compiled by Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell in 2003 to mark the financier’s 50th birthday.

The lawmakers said the document is “clearly relevant” to congressional oversight of the Department of Justice’s actions surrounding Epstein’s prosecution, as well as the Trump administration’s selective release of documents tied to the case. They requested the book be turned over by August 10, one day before the House Oversight Committee is scheduled to hear testimony from Maxwell.

“Recent public reporting indicates that the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein is in possession of a document commonly referred to as ‘the birthday book,’ compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell in celebration of Mr. Epstein’s 50th birthday,” the letter reads. “The committee should be permitted to review its contents prior to Maxwell’s deposition.”

According to a Wall Street Journal report, the book includes messages from several of Epstein’s high-profile associates—among them, a reportedly “bawdy” letter from Trump. Trump has denied writing the letter and is now suing the Wall Street Journal and its parent company, Dow Jones, for $10 billion, alleging defamation.

Dow Jones responded to the lawsuit by defending its reporting: “We have full confidence in the rigor and accuracy of our journalism and will vigorously defend against any lawsuit.”

The push from House Democrats adds to renewed scrutiny of Epstein’s connections and the extent to which politically sensitive material related to his case has been kept from public view. A lawyer representing Epstein’s victims confirmed in a recent TV interview that the estate is believed to still hold the birthday book.

While the lawmakers’ request does not carry the legal force of a subpoena, it signals growing interest in previously unreleased materials that could shed light on the sprawling network of Epstein’s relationships—and how they may have shaped the legal response to his crimes.
