Maxwell was found guilty in 2021 of sex trafficking and other offenses, and is serving a 20-year prison term. Prosecutors said she played a central role in Epstein’s scheme, luring underage girls into what began as massages and escalated into sexual abuse.
Now 63 and incarcerated since her 2020 arrest, Maxwell told Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in late August that she had no role in the sexual exploitation of minors. When asked about the "birthday book," she told Blanche that she could only remember some parts of it, adding that it had been years since she compiled it.
HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE RELEASES THOUSANDS OF EPSTEIN DOCUMENTS
Among the book’s entries is an apparent note from Bill Clinton, where the former Democratic president praises Epstein’s "childlike curiosity" and his "drive to make a difference" as well as the "[illegible] of friends."

Dershowitz has repeatedly denied wrongdoing as it relates to Epstein.
The birthday book also contained sentimental messages from family and friends. In one note, Epstein's mother, Pauline Stolofsky Epstein, wrote that she's been "very busy reminiscing since Ghislaine asked me to write about you."
"Jeff[,] you have been a good son since day one and we have been proud of you ever since," Epstein's mother said.

"Jeff, I'm so sorry that Dad can't share the nachus [pride] we have regarding your achievements," she added. "He would have been overjoyed reading the article about you in the New York magazine."
The book features hundreds of photos from throughout Epstein's life until age 50, including pictures of him as a child and a teenager.

A picture of a woman in a bikini was also included with the caption, "Visiting you down in Palm Beach. Can't get a second of privacy with you and a camera around ha ha!"
Upon the files' release, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., chair of the House Oversight Committee, accused Democrats of previously "cherry-picking" the documents.

"Oversight Committee Republicans are focused on running a thorough investigation to bring transparency and accountability for survivors of Epstein’s heinous crimes and the American people," Comer said.
