"Donald Trump isn't the only U.S. president to appear in a collection of birthday messages that were sent to Jeffrey Epstein. An entry attributed to former President Bill Clinton is among some 50 greetings that appear in a 50th birthday book compiled for Epstein in 2003, years before the disgraced New York financier faced charges related to sexual exploitation of underage girls. Other notes appear to come from Epstein's relatives, including his father, and from business executives and scientists."
"Some of the entries in the collection, which was released by a House committee on Monday, are strictly well wishes, congratulations and benign birthday messages. Others are crude or sexually explicit, reminiscing about supposed past exploits or referencing Epstein's focus on meeting women. It includes photos of Epstein, sometimes wearing little or nothing, as well as friends and associates. Trump, who has denied prior knowledge of Epstein's crimes and claimed he cut off their relationship long ago, says he did not write a sexually suggestive letter to Epstein or create the drawing of a curvaceous woman that surrounds the letter."
A 50th birthday book compiled for Jeffrey Epstein in 2003 contains about 50 greetings attributed to friends, relatives, business executives, scientists, and prominent political figures. Many entries are conventional well wishes, while others are crude, sexually explicit, or reference past sexual exploits and efforts to meet women. The collection includes photographs of Epstein, sometimes scantily clad, and images of friends and associates. An entry attributed to Bill Clinton praises Epstein's "childlike curiosity" and drive and appears to match Clinton's handwriting. A letter bearing Donald Trump's name and apparent signature is in the book; Trump denies writing a sexually suggestive letter or creating an accompanying drawing.
