A “Happy 50th” letter from former President Bill Clinton to Jeffrey Epstein has been released by congressional investigators along with the one apparently written by President Trump in a birthday album for the late notorious pedophile.
“It’s reassuring isn’t it, to have lasted as long, across all the years of learning and knowing, adventures and beyond, and also to have your childlike curiosity, the drive to make a difference and the solace of friends,” Clinton wrote in the handwritten letter to Epstein.
The 2003 Clinton letter was included in a leather-bound keepsake album handed over by Epstein’s estate after it was subpoenaed by a congressional committee.
Clinton didn’t deny writing the friendly letter when the Wall Street Journal first reported its existence in July.
The ex-commander in chief says he was unaware of Epstein’s pervy behavior and accusations that he trafficked young women and girls for sex.
Clinton, 79, says he flew on Epstein’s private jet a couple of times but strictly for Clinton Foundation business along with other officials. He denies ever visiting Epstein’s private island in the Virgin Islands or his palatial home in Palm Beach Florida and insists he hadn’t seen Epstein for years before his arrest and suicide in 2019.
House Republican lawmakers have subpoenaed Bill and Hillary Clinton to testify about their ties to Epstein in October.
Trump has fiercely denied penning the sexually suggestive note that bears his signature and was also included in the album compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s sidekick and convicted co-conspirator in his sex trafficking scheme.
He has sued the Wall Street Journal for $10 billion over its story revealing the existence of the letter signed by him. A spokesman Monday claimed the “Donald” signature on the letter to Epstein is fake but other reports show it closely matches Trump’s John Hancock.
The damaging bipartisan revelations come as Trump has struggled to put the politically damaging scandal behind him.
Trump and his MAGA allies have for years stoked claims of a coverup in the case to protect wealthy Democratic pals of Epstein, even though the president himself admits he was once close friends with the financier and Palm Beach, Fla., neighbor.
Epstein died by suicide awaiting trial in Manhattan on federal charges of trafficking of scores of underage girls. Maxwell, was convicted of helping him procure young girls for sex and is serving a 20-year sentence in federal prison.
