According to reports, the scrapbook was put together by Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former partner and accomplice, who was convicted in 2021 for trafficking underage girls.
The House Oversight Committee received the book, alongside Epstein’s will and personal contact book, following a subpoena issued last month to the executors of his estate.
The collection is said to include names and notes from global leaders, celebrities, and other influential individuals.
One controversial entry in the birthday book includes a drawing of a woman’s body with a message claimed to be signed by President Trump.
However, the White House has dismissed the claim, insisting, “The president did not draw or sign the image, and the note is not authentic.”
Trump has also denied any involvement, describing the document as “fake.” He has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and its parent company over the report.
A spokesperson for Bill Clinton acknowledged that the former president had ties with Epstein at the time but stated that “he had no knowledge of his crimes.” Efforts to contact Clinton’s legal team and foundation are ongoing.
The book itself is divided into different categories with contributions from family members, business partners, friends, and alleged former girlfriends.
It contains personal photographs, jokes, sketches, lyrics, and even a spoof Vanity Fair magazine cover.
This latest release comes amid growing calls — even from members of Trump’s Republican party for greater transparency regarding what Epstein’s files may reveal about his powerful network.
