Epstein subpoena from House Oversight Committee calls for birthday book

() The government has released 33,295 pages of Jeffrey Epstein-related records that it received from the U.S. Department of Justice.

“Today, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released 33,295 pages of Epstein-related records that were provided by the U.S. Department of Justice,” the committee wrote in a statement.

“On August 5, Chairman Comer issued a subpoena for records related to Mr. Jeffrey Epstein, and the Department of Justice has indicated it will continue producing those records while ensuring the redaction of victim identities and any child sexual abuse material. Epstein-related documents can be found here.”

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said earlier Tuesday that the government was uploading 34,000 pages of documents that were set to be released. The document dump came hours after lawmakers met with Epstein victims.

“The victims themselves have stated this is a lot bigger than I think anyone anticipated,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., said after the meeting.

“There are some very rich and powerful people that need to go to jail … it is very much so a possibility that Jeffrey Epstein was an intelligence asset working for our adversaries, but also, the question we have is, ‘How much did our own government know about it?'”

Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee subpoenaed the Epstein estate for a slew of sensitive documents, including anything resembling a “client list” and Epstein’s “birthday book” a 2003 volume, compiled by his former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, that reportedly includes a letter written by President Donald Trump when he was a private citizen in New York. Those materials are slated for delivery to Capitol Hill by Sept. 8.

Rep. Nancy Mace abruptly leaves meeting

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., confirmed via X that she left the meeting with accusers early after becoming overwhelmed by victims’ stories about what they endured.

“As a recent survivor (not 2 years in), I had a very difficult time listening to their stories. Full blown panic attack. Sweating. Hyperventilating. Shaking. I can’t breathe,” she wrote after leaving the meeting.

“I feel the immense pain of how hard all victims are fighting for themselves because we know absolutely no one will fight for us. GOD BLESS ALL SURVIVORS.”

On Wednesday, a pair of bipartisan lawmakers will host a news conference at the Capitol to advance their efforts to force the Trump administration to release all of the government’s Epstein files. To ramp up the pressure, the lawmakers Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif. will be joined by several Epstein accusers.

“We have two ultimate objectives here: We want to bring justice to every single person who is involved in the Epstein evils of the cover-up thereof,” Johnson said.

“But we also want to be equally certain that we protect the innocent victims, many of these young women, some of them are now middle-aged women, have never come forward. We do not want their names or identities to be uncovered.”
