House Oversight subpoenas Jeffrey Epstein's estate
The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Jeffrey Epstein's estate Monday as part of its probe into the convicted sex offender.

Why it matters: The panel is seeking records that could shed new light on Epstein's dealings, including a "birthday book" reportedly prepared for him by his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

House Oversight Committee receives Epstein birthday book
The House Oversight Committee received documents from Jeffrey Epstein's estate on Monday afternoon that include a "birthday book" to Epstein allegedly containing a doodle from President Trump.

Why it matters: The files could provide fresh details about Epstein's network and dealings, and the Oversight Committee is expected to release redacted versions to the public.

"Oversight Democrats just received the Epstein birthday book and additional documents from the Epstein estate. More soon," Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the panel, said in a post on X.

The committee received the records in response to a subpoena issued in late August as part of its probe into Epstein.
