As yet, records from a sprawling array of court cases and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/culture\/culture-features\/jeffrey-epstein-remaining-questions-1235288347\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">vast trove of FBI materials<\/a> related to their investigation of Epstein \u2014 together colloquially known as the \u201cEpstein Files\u201d \u2014 have not seen the light of day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tBut on Monday, the House Oversight Committee did release <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/politics\/politics-news\/maga-new-epstein-files-not-happy-1235423994\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">select documents<\/a> provided by Epstein\u2019s estate, including the terms of a 2007 non-prosecution agreement \u2014 the so-called \u201csweetheart\u201d plea deal that allowed Epstein to avoid federal charges at the time \u2014 and his last will and testament. The real bombshell was a birthday scrapbook that Maxwell put together for Epstein\u2019s 50th birthday, full of doodles, poems, photos, and letters from people in his life. One such person was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/donald-trump\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Donald Trump<\/a>, who allegedly contributed an abstract drawing of a nude woman and an imagined dialogue between the two men that concluded, \u201cHappy Birthday\u2014and may every day be another wonderful secret.\u201d Trump and the White House denied the existence of such a letter when it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/politics\/politics-features\/trump-team-tried-kill-report-salacious-letter-epstein-1235388533\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">first reported on<\/a> by The Wall Street Journal in July; now they claim <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/politics\/politics-news\/maga-new-epstein-files-not-happy-1235423994\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the letter itself is fake<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe president\u2019s years of close association with Epstein before they fell out sometime in the mid-2000s (the birthday book was created in 2003) have come in for renewed scrutiny during his second term, in part because the MAGA faithful have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/politics\/politics-features\/inside-trump-failing-mission-crush-maga-revolt-epstein-1235387313\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">particularly vocal<\/a> about the need for full government transparency on Epstein, believing that this will hurt prominent Democrats and Hollywood elites rather than Trump. This has largely backfired, with Trump continually seeking to move past the Epstein story and convince his supporters that it\u2019s a dead issue while more and more details of his friendship with the financier trickle out.<\/p>\n<p>\t\tEditor\u2019s picks<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tWhat\u2019s remarkable about the birthday book, though, is that Trump\u2019s alleged letter is hardly out of place with its creepy innuendos and suggestive sketch. In fact, the three-volume scrapbook \u2014 totaling over 200 pages \u2014 is full of such veiled references from Epstein\u2019s pals, direct commentary about his insatiable lust and countless \u201cgirlfriends,\u201d and redacted photos of Epstein with scantily clad or partially nude women. There are also drawings that allude to his travel by private jet (his Boeing 727-100\u00a0aircraft, on which he allegedly had sex with teenaged girls, has been dubbed the \u201cLolita Express\u201d) and nods to his illicit behavior. A collection of limericks written by his art advisor, Stuart Pivar, for example, notes that Epstein, \u201cthough up to no good\/whenever he could\/has avoided the penitentiary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe book has an introduction by Maxwell and is organized by categories of relatives and acquaintances, opening with a \u201cFamily\u201d section featuring recollections from his parents and his brother, Mark Epstein. This is followed by letters from people who knew him as he grew up in Sea Gate, a private community in Coney Island, Brooklyn, in the 1950s and 1960s. One unsigned, handwritten portion by a Brooklyn friend recalls how the author, Epstein, their friend Warren Eisenstein, and Epstein\u2019s brother Mark picked up girls on the beach and took them out on a boat, where the author claims to have taken out a knife and told them to strip off their bathing suits. The same author describes himself and Epstein \u201cin bed porking some girls\u201d while Epstein is \u201cshoving penicillin down my throat.\u201d He further recounts going out with Epstein and \u201ctwo very young girls probably just 17.\u201d The typewritten letter after that, signed by a \u201cJohnny Boy Kafka,\u201d describes Epstein\u2019s parents conceiving him in extremely graphic detail.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tNext comes one of two separate portions titled \u201cGirlfriends,\u201d which leads with a letter from an acquaintance whose name is redacted. The writer states that in the 1970s, Epstein \u201cparticipated in peace marches because they were the easiest places to get laid,\u201d and joked that this was a \u201ctruly unique perspective on political activism.\u201d There are more intimate pictures of Epstein with women whose faces are redacted, and multiple shots of him luxuriating in bathtubs, including one where his genitals appear to be censored, and another captioned \u201cwaiting for my foot massage.\u201d In another photo, Epstein appears to be buying something from a specialty grocer \u2014 the caption is \u201cAre you sure this will make my \u2018winkie\u2019 grow?\u201d A photo of Epstein with a woman whose face is redacted is labeled with the quote \u201cWe think he works for the CIA.\u201d (Rumors of Epstein\u2019s links to intelligence services, while widespread, have never been substantively confirmed.) There are also pictures of Maxwell: one in which she appears to be speaking with a woman whose image is redacted, bearing the caption \u201cHe promised you what?!!\u201d In another partially redacted image, she and Epstein appear naked in a pool, with him holding her from behind.<\/p>\n<p>\t\tRelated Content<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThen there is a section titled \u201cChildren.\u201d It includes a short story, in what appears to be a child\u2019s handwriting, about a character named \u201cUncel F\u201d attempting to use a toilet to defecate but eliminating on the floor instead. The subsequent pages include a childlike drawing of a wedding and redacted photos of young children in bed, playing piano, and evidently posing for the camera, with captions in what appears to be Maxwell\u2019s handwriting. Epstein was not known to have fathered any children himself, though he reportedly talked about a plan to impregnate multiple women at his New Mexico ranch to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/07\/31\/business\/jeffrey-epstein-eugenics.html\">seed the human race with his DNA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe \u201cFriends\u201d chapter of the birthday book, which includes the letter that Trump denies writing, is perhaps the most disturbing. It begins with a photo of what appears to be Epstein and another man in hooded masks, and text that reads in part: \u201cJeffrey unveiled his plan. To some it may have seemed a get-rich-quick scheme, but to me it was pure genius: Rob and Kill was the name of the plan. The first victim, to be attacked and brutally plundered (would she want more than that?) on the boardwalk in Venice Beach. Broad daylight. The dastardly thieves were never caught.\u201d Another letter addresses Epstein as \u201cDegenerate One\u201d and is signed \u201cDegenerate II.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/alan-dershowitz\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alan Dershowitz<\/a>, the famed attorney who once counted Epstein as a client, submitted a spoof cover of Vanity Fair, tweaked as Vanity Unfair, with fake headlines speculating that Epstein was Jack the Ripper and had financed the terrorist group <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/al-qaeda\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Al Qaeda<\/a>. Dershowitz joked that he had \u201ctalked them into changing the focus\u201d of the issue \u201cfrom you to Bill Clinton.\u201d (Clinton, too, appears in the scrapbook, with a brief scribbled note commending Epstein for his \u201cchildlike curiosity.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tOther friends rehashed lewd incidents and wrote of \u201chis luxurious homes he likes to share with his friends (yum yum).\u201d Nathan Myhrvold, former Chief Technology Officer at Microsoft, noted that he was \u201cill prepared to comment on\u201d Epstein\u2019s lifestyle \u201cin any detail,\u201d and instead appended pictures from a recent trip to Africa that showed zebras and lions having sex. Joel Pashcow, former chairman of a New York real estate company, contributed clip art of an airplane and women in bathing suits. The illustration following that page includes comic-book style drawings of Epstein: in the first panel, labeled \u201c1983,\u201d he is shabbily dressed and offering girls balloons at a birthday party. In the second, labeled \u201c2003,\u201d Epstein is seen relaxing at an oceanside mansion, his private jet overhead, as he is massaged by four practically naked blonde women, one sporting a heart tattoo with the letters \u201cJE\u201d on her buttocks. \u201cWhat a great country!\u201d reads the text on this half of the page.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tTrump comes up a second time in the \u201cFriends\u201d collage, with Epstein seen in a photo holding a large novelty check that bears his name. \u201cJeffrey showing early talents with money + women!\u201d the caption says. \u201cSells \u2018fully depreciated\u2019 [name redacted] to Donald Trump.\u201d Epstein is posing with Pashcow, a third man, and a woman whose face is censored. (Trump in July made the remarkable claim that he and Epstein eventually parted ways because the financier \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cyvn7ee3539o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">stole<\/a>\u201d spa workers from his Mar-a-Lago club.) Another letter included an illustration of breasts, with the note \u201cI wanted to get you what you want,\u201d and painted designs with the impression of a nipple on the page \u2014 captioned as \u201ctit prints\u201d and \u201cspecially commissioned\u201d by the late economist Henry Rosovsky.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tA followup \u201cGirlfriends\u201d chapter includes a letter from a woman who wrote that her life was \u201cforever changed\u201d after she was hired by Maxwell to massage Epstein\u2019s feet and was then ushered into his world. \u201cWith you, dear Jeffrey, I laugh like a little girl and feel like a woman,\u201d she wrote, attaching a photo of her buttocks in a bathing suit. Another woman supplied photos of her breasts, which are redacted, as well as a bra. A third recalled how she had gone shopping with Epstein at Bloomingdale\u2019s, where he inquired if she were a virgin and then threw her \u201cdown on the floor\u2026 right smack in the middle of the shoe dept. and started kissing and tickling me all over!!\u201d This author included a photo of herself, face redacted, in her underwear, labeled: \u201cVisiting you down in Palm Beach\u2026 Can\u2019t get a second of privacy with you and a camera around ha ha!\u201d Yet another woman wrote that she wanted to \u201ccut\u201d Epstein \u201cinto bird-head pieces and chew them between my molars until I suck all the blood and juice out of you.\u201d Letters from supposed \u201cAssistants\u201d were no less salacious: like the \u201cGirlfriends,\u201d they included plenty of bikini shots and other winks at sexual relationships.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tOne of the last shocking items in the book comes in the \u201cBusiness\u201d chapter, from Elliot Wolk, who worked at Bear Stearns when Epstein was at the investment bank in the 1970s. \u201cJeffrey I remember in the mid 1970s you being a star salesman for our tax advantaged strategies and hedged option program,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI was running an account for Bob Maxwell.\u201d That would be the media mogul Robert Maxwell, father of Ghislaine Maxwell. \u201cYou always had the ability to know everyone and be charming,\u201d wrote Wolk. \u201cWas that when you first discovered the Maxwell teen-age daughter\u2026\u201d Officially, Epstein and Maxwell did not date until 1991. In 1976, when Epstein joined Bear Stearns, he would have been in his early twenties, while Maxwell would have been in her mid-teens.<\/p>\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAll told, while the \u201cbirthday book\u201d adds to the public knowledge of Epstein\u2019s social life, it will unlikely precipitate further prosecutions, coded as it is in the various authors\u2019 oblique language and cryptic references. A few contributors have already died, some of them long before Epstein himself was found hanged in his jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Nevertheless, it paints a chilling picture of power and wealth, and an aristocratic clique seemingly unfazed or even amused by Epstein\u2019s proclivity for very young women. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tMAGA conspiracists are sure to keep pressing for the release of a purely hypothetical \u201cclient list\u201d that names people Epstein supplied with children for sex, but this is likely as close as they will ever get.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For years, politicians and the American public have clamored for more disclosures about the activities and connections of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":145484,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[223,2160,12,88,31684,14825],"class_list":{"0":"post-145483","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-books","8":"tag-books","9":"tag-controversy","10":"tag-donald-trump","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-ghislaine-maxwell","13":"tag-jeffrey-epstein"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145483","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145483"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145483\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
