House Oversight releases Epstein birthday book with disputed Trump note
House Oversight Democrats released a 2003 birthday-book entry attributed to Donald Trump from materials obtained from Jeffrey Epstein estate. Trump denied writing or signing the note and sued The Wall Street Journal over earlier reporting on the alleged entry. The release moved the birthday book from press reporting into congressional evidence and widened the records fight beyond DOJ files.
