The House Oversight Committee on Monday night released a new batch of documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein, including pages from the financier’s notorious “birthday book” that appear to contain a handwritten note from former US President Bill Clinton.
The surprise document dump, led by the GOP-controlled panel, came just hours after Epstein’s estate turned over materials in response to a congressional subpoena.
Clinton note among fresh disclosures
One entry in the book — compiled for Epstein’s 50th birthday by longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell — appears to be signed by Clinton. It praises Epstein’s “childlike curiosity, the drive to make a difference, and the [illegible] of friends.”
Clinton and Epstein were known to have maintained a cordial relationship, with the former president flying on Epstein’s private jet multiple times. Clinton has not been accused of wrongdoing.
Trump entry disputed
The book also contains entries attributed to Donald Trump and former Epstein lawyer Alan Dershowitz. But White House has rejected the authenticity of the alleged Trump note, which features a suggestive drawing.
“It’s very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote on X. She added that Trump’s legal team would “continue to aggressively pursue litigation” over earlier reporting on the book.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., also sought to tamp down speculation, telling reporters: “I’m told that it’s fake.”
Dershowitz, cartoons, and jokes
One entry under Dershowitz’s name jokingly claimed to have persuaded Vanity Fair to shift the focus of an article from Epstein to Clinton. Dershowitz has consistently denied wrongdoing linked to Epstein.
Another page in the book shows a cartoon of a man at a bar with the caption: “I’ve come to the conclusion that I should be thinking less about money and more about naked women, and biomathematical research.”
Additional entries include a tongue-in-cheek note suggesting Epstein might have worked for the CIA, and a childhood photo captioned with the line: “Are you sure this will make my ‘winkie’ grow?”
Beyond the birthday book
The latest tranche also contained Epstein’s last will and testament, his contact book, and details of his controversial 2007–2008 non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors in Florida.
