US House committee requests Epstein 'birthday book' from his estate

A US panel investigating the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein has requested that the executors of his estate produce a number of documents, including a book said to have contained personal messages for his 50th birthday.

The subpoena from James Comer, the leader of the House Oversight Committee, represents an expansion of his investigation into Epstein, the disgraced late paedophile financier.
