Congress released a bombshell collection of documents Monday that included deeply disturbing contents from Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday scrapbook.
The materials paint a chilling picture of the convicted sex offender’s mindset and connections.
The 238-page birthday book contained hand-drawn illustrations that depicted Epstein in compromising scenarios with young women.
One particularly unsettling drawing showed the financier distributing balloons to three young girls in 1983.
A second illustration portrayed Epstein two decades later in a sexually explicit scene.
The drawing showed him lying naked on a lounge chair while surrounded by four blonde women who appeared to be massaging him.
The later image featured Epstein smiling as the nearly nude women attended to him.
One woman in the illustration appeared to be performing a sex act and had the initials “JE” tattooed in a heart shape on her buttocks.
The caption beneath this disturbing scene read “What a great country!”
Epstein’s notorious private jet, dubbed the “Lolita Express,” was clearly visible in the background of the illustration, complete with matching tail number letters.
Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s accomplice who was later convicted on sex trafficking charges, compiled the birthday scrapbook.
She created this collection just three years before Epstein’s sex abuse allegations became public in 2006.
The House Oversight Committee released these documents as part of a surprise document dump Monday.
Epstein’s estate lawyers turned over the materials in response to a congressional subpoena issued by the committee, the New York Post reported.
The birthday book featured numerous messages from high-profile figures. Among the contributors were former President Bill Clinton and President Donald Trump, whose names appeared alongside birthday wishes.
Trump’s message appeared within a hand-drawn outline of a curvaceous woman.
The Wall Street Journal first reported on this particular letter in July, sparking immediate controversy and denials from the former president.
President Trump vehemently disputed the authenticity of the message bearing his signature. He characterized the Wall Street Journal’s reporting as “false, malicious, and defamatory” in his response to the publication.
Trump specifically denied authoring the words in question, stating “These are not my words, not the way I talk. Also, I don’t draw pictures.”
He followed up his denial by filing a lawsuit against the outlet, the Post outlined.
The release of these so-called Epstein files has created significant political challenges for Trump in recent weeks.
Many of his supporters have focused attention on unanswered questions surrounding the convicted sex offender and the circumstances of his death.
Epstein is said to have died in his prison cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges.
His death was ruled a suicide, though theories about the circumstances continue to circulate among political observers.
Trump has repeatedly attempted to minimize the controversy surrounding the investigative files.
The president has expressed bewilderment at the continued public interest in the Epstein case and related documentation.
The birthday book represents just one component of the broader Epstein investigation that has captivated public attention for years.
The materials provide new insights into the social circles and relationships that surrounded the disgraced financier during his lifetime.
