Questions continue to swirl about the life, connections, and death of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, and it has only increased following a recent declassification.

Documents from Epstein’s estate were finally submitted to the House of Representatives Oversight Committee, including from a birthday book that had unique contributions, as Page Six reported.

Among the contributors is Leon Black, who is a billionaire businessman best known as the co-founder of Apollo Global Management. Black is one of the largest alternative asset managers in the world.

Black and others wrote notes to Epstein for his 50th birthday, and those on both sides of the aisle have been hungry to see just who was special enough to Epstein to drop him a note.

The Note

Black’s 2003 comments included lines such as “A liver, a lover, a Jeff, a Jeffrey/Let’s all give a cheer for today he’s 50.”

And if that wasn’t enough, he also allegedly said, “Wet dream and cauchemar, an architect’s wild spree/Moscow, Paris, Santa Fe, Alhambar East jamboree.”

Black was also known to be an avid art collector, and those in that community were quick to spot the billionaire’s inclusion in the book.

The investor owns some famous pieces, including a version of Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” but has stepped back from his position as the chairman of the Midtown museum after he was seen at the Midtown museum and associated with Epstein.

A representative for Black’s office told reporters, “Mr. Black was proud to be at the dinner as a longtime supporter of the arts and member of the MoMA board.”

Previously, Trump denied that he wrote a letter to Epstein after he was questioned about a note that was signed with a first, but no last name.

Trump declined to discuss the letter: "I don’t comment on something that’s a dead issue," Trump said during a brief phone call Tuesday morning with the press. "I gave all comments to the staff. It’s a dead issue."
