On Monday night, the House Oversight Committee unveiled a fresh vault of files tied to Jeffrey Epstein. Among them: the infamous “birthday book” compiled for his 50th birthday in 2003.
One page appears to feature a handwritten note from former President Bill Clinton, praising Epstein’s “childlike curiosity, the drive to make a difference, and the [illegible] of friends.”
The book also includes entries linked to President Donald Trump and attorney Alan Dershowitz. Dershowitz’s entry jokingly claims he “got Vanity Unfair to shift focus from Epstein to Bill Clinton.” Trump’s page, stylized and sensational, shows a woman’s outline and ends with a suggestive punchline.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt declared, “It’s very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it.” Speaker Mike Johnson concurred, saying simply, “I’m told that it’s fake.” Trump has launched a defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over its reporting on the page.
GOP Chairman James Comer blasted Democrats for “cherry-picking” documents, insisting investigators are committed to full transparency. He emphasized, “President Trump is not accused of any wrongdoing.”
The release includes Epstein’s will, an address book, and his 2007–2008 non-prosecution agreement with U.S. attorneys in Florida.
Neither Clinton nor Trump face accusations tied to these entries. Clinton, known to have flown aboard Epstein’s plane multiple times, has yet to comment—Fox News has reached out to his office.
Closed-door depositions are set with high-profile figures, including former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Bill and Hillary Clinton, James Comey, and Robert Mueller.
The “birthday book” adds a colorful, visual twist to what was a well-worn political fight. Authenticity now lies in handwriting experts, sworn testimony, and legal wrangling ahead.
