It’s going to be a tense week in the White House. For months, the pressure has been steadily building on Donald Trump as evidence builds (and builds) that his friendship with the world’s most notorious pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein, was far more intimate than he’d previously indicated.
He’s tried everything to move past this, including seeking testimony from none other than Ghislaine Maxwell. Knowing what’s best for her, she immediately described Trump as a “gentleman” and blurted:
“I actually never saw the president in any type of massage setting. I never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way. The president was never inappropriate with anybody.”
Soon after that interview, Maxwell was moved to a low-security Club Fed. You connect the dots!
But even this hasn’t exorcised the ghost of Epstein that’s haunting the Oval Office, and now it looks like things are going to get interesting. In an appearance on MSNBC Ranking Oversight Member Rep. Robert Garcia has now revealed that the Epstein estate has agreed to turn over the fabled “birthday book” on and many other documents in a week’s time on Sept 8.

MAJOR BREAKING: Ranking Oversight Member Rep. Robert Garcia says the Epstein estate has agreed to turn over the Epstein birthday book that features Donald Trump’s entry.
With the book, they’ll also turn over boxes of documents they retained. LET’S GO!

How’s that lawsuit going?
This is the book that caused so much drama earlier this summer, reportedly containing a message from Trump to Epstein that partly read: “May every day be another wonderful secret.” Trump went ballistic when this emerged, promptly suing Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal for $10 billion on the basis this book doesn’t exist.
All of which means the birthday book existing, being turned over and then verified blows a hole in his legal case. It’s worth underlining that just because these documents are being submitted doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll immediately be made public, though we have to hope they’ll at least confirm the news reports about them were accurate.
Whatever the case, despite Trump’s best efforts, the Epstein story just isn’t going away. This is absurdly ironic as Trump repeatedly and loudly demanded told his MAGA acolytes during the 2024 campaign that the Epstein files must be exposed. Now they are, but now Trump is trying to convince them that they shouldn’t pay any attention to them whatsoever, and that anyone mentioned in them (maybe a certain president, say) is completely innocent.
It’s hard not to see this as a feeble attempt at damage control. Grab some popcorn though, because however this shakes out, it’s going to be fun.
