Congress releases Jeffrey Epstein's 'birthday book'
Bangkok Post
|September 10, 2025
Democrats in the US House of Representatives on Monday made public a birthday letter Donald Trump allegedly wrote to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein more than 20 years ago, though the White House quickly denied its authenticity.
-
The letter, the existence of which was reported by the Wall Street Journal in July, appears to have been signed by Mr Trump, but he has denied doing so and has said it does not exist.
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released the letter after Congress received the 2003 “birthday book” from Epstein’s lawyers. The letter is dated three years before allegations of sex abuse by Epstein became public in 2006.
Later on Monday, Republicans who control the Oversight Committee released hundreds of pages of documents turned over by Epstein’s lawyers, including the full “birthday book’, Epstein’s will and his 2007 non-prosecution agreement with prosecutors in Florida.

Asean's moment of truth is now
