Live from MPR News in Washington, I'm Shay Stevens. A US House panel has received another batch of data on Jeffrey Epstein. As NPR's Claudia Grassales reports, the records include a book compiled of tributes celebrating the late sex offenders and Fiftieth birthday.

The Justice Department sent the first set of documents from Epstein's estate in response to a subpoena issued by Chairman James Comer. The records include a book compiled by Gelen Maxwell for Epstein's fiftieth birthday. Maxwell's now in prison for sex trafficking. However, committee democrats jumped ahead to share a note from the book with President Trump's name. It shows the outline of a woman's body in a typewritten dialogue between Trump and Epstein.
