The House Oversight Committee released hundreds of pages of documents from Jeffrey Epstein‘s estate on Monday, including the infamous 238-page “birthday book” compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell for the convicted sex offender’s 50th birthday in 2003. The files were turned over after the committee subpoenaed Epstein’s estate last month as part of its ongoing investigation into the case.
The bizarre scrapbook offers an intimate glimpse into Epstein’s network of powerful friends and associates. Maxwell wrote in the prologue that she wanted to “gather stories and old photographs to jog your memory about places, people and different events” and hoped Epstein would “derive as much pleasure from looking through it” as she did assembling it for him. The book contains photos from Epstein’s childhood, formal school pictures, and images of him with various women throughout his life.
