Washington — The House Oversight Committee released more records from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's estate late Monday, including hundreds of pages from a book compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell for his 50th birthday in 2003.

Hours earlier, Democrats on the panel had released a letter in the book allegedly signed by Mr. Trump. The president has denied penning the message, which is typed within what appears to be the outline of a woman's body.

GOP Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer of Kentucky accused Democrats of "cherry-picking documents and politicizing information."

The committee subpoenaed Epstein's estate in August, seeking documents and other materials as part of its investigation into the U.S. government's handling of the case.

Rep. Robert Garcia of California, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said in a statement that the committee "has secured the infamous 'Birthday Book' that contains a note from President Trump that he has said does not exist."

"It's time for the President to tell us the truth about what he knew and release all the Epstein files. The American people are demanding answers," Garcia said, noting that Democrats are reviewing the contents of the book and "expect to release our findings to the public."
