()  The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed records related to Jeffrey Epstein as part of its investigation into the disgraced financier, including a birthday book that reportedly contains a note from President Donald Trump.

The committee sent a letter addressed to the co-executors of Epstein’s estate, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, demanding they appear before the committee and produce the requested materials by Sept. 8. 

In the letter, dated Aug. 25, the subpoena references “all entries contained within the reported leather-bound book compiled by Ms. Ghislaine Maxwell for Mr. Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday.”

Maxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend, is currently serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for sex trafficking.

The Wall Street Journal reported in July that Trump signed the book in 2003 with the cryptic message, “may every day be another wonderful secret.”

Trump vehemently denied the Journal’s reporting and has since filed a lawsuit against the outlet.

Epstein was awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges when he was found dead in his prison cell in August 2019. Investigators ruled his death a suicide. In July, the Department of Justice and the FBI released a page-and-a-half joint memo announcing the results of their federal investigation into Epstein’s death. The DOJ and FBI said he was not murdered and that a client list did not exist.

The memo read in part: “After a thorough investigation, FBI investigators concluded that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City on August 10, 2019.” 

A source close to the White House told on Wednesday that FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino would unseal evidence related to the Epstein investigation if their department had the ability to do so.

“I believe with full certainty that if Kash Patel and Dan Bongino had the power to operate separately from the DOJ, that they would have unsealed and released every single piece of evidence they could, while protecting victims, months ago,” the source close to the White House said.

In addition to the birthday book, the committee demanded Epstein’s will, along with the “September 24, 2007 non-prosecution agreement between the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida and Mr. Jeffrey Epstein” and “all documents and communications relating or referring to the September 24, 2007 nonprosecution agreement between the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida and Mr. Jeffrey Epstein.”

They also asked for the executors of Epstein’s estate to produce “any document or record that could be reasonably construed to be a potential list of clients involved in sex, sex acts, or sex trafficking facilitated by Mr. Jeffrey Epstein,” and “all documents and communications related or referring to Mr. Jeffrey Epstein’s missed phone call logs or missed visitor logs from January 1, 1990 through August 19, 2019.”
