Epstein Victim Attorney Says Infamous 'Birthday Book' Is Real- And Congress Can Easily Get It

A lawyer representing hundreds of Jeffrey Epstein's victims says the now-infamous "birthday book" is real, and that Congress could obtain it "immediately" if it chose to act.

Attorney Bradley Edwards, who has represented more than 200 Epstein victims, confirmed during an interview that the 2003 birthday book first reported by The Wall Street Journal is authentic, Raw Story reported. He said several survivors not only saw the book but were asked by Ghislaine Maxwell to help assemble it.

"They were told by Ghislaine to assist in putting the book together," he said. "Others have seen the book post-birthday and after it was assembled. So the existence of the book is an absolute fact."

The Journal revealed that Donald Trump contributed a nude sketch and a sexually suggestive message to the book, which was created to celebrate Epstein's 50th birthday. Trump has denied the account and filed a libel suit against the paper, claiming the letter is "fake."

Edwards, however, said he backs the Journal's reporting. "You would immediately have the answers. You could flip to the page. Is there a letter? Is there not a letter? It's over," he said. "The truth matters, transparency actually matters. Get this over with and get it behind us."

Edwards added that if Congress were to subpoena the document, the Epstein estate would likely comply without resistance. "They would turn the book over immediately," he said. "Nobody would have to guess."

The book's existence is now fueling renewed questions about the connections between Epstein, Maxwell, and powerful figures, including Trump. Meanwhile, reports that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will visit Maxwell in prison have stirred anxiety among Edwards' clients. "The one thing that has really alarmed our clients is the information that now Ghislaine Maxwell is being visited in jail," he said. "Does she have information that could potentially help? Yes. Will she be truthful about it? Who knows?"

Victims are also worried about potential political interference. Some fear that Trump's history with Maxwell could result in a pardon. "For him to do that, would be, he thought about you and he decided you do not matter," Edwards said. "I don't think that is on the table, maybe I'm putting too much trust in him."
