Bill Clinton's birthday letter to Epstein creates controversy

A book of letters celebrating Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday has become the center of a growing controversy involving two U.S. presidents.

According to the Daily Mail, Bill Clinton authored a "warm and gushing" letter praising the convicted pedophile, while Donald Trump is suing over allegations about his own purported contribution.

The leather-bound volume, which Ghislaine Maxwell spent over a year assembling, included messages from hundreds of high-profile individuals across politics, business, and academia. Clinton's one-page contribution featured an embossed letterhead reading "From the desk of William Jefferson Clinton."

Presidential Letters Create Political Storm

Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking, began soliciting letters for the commemorative book in late 2001. The gold-embossed album was presented to Epstein on January 20, 2003, his 50th birthday.

Trump has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over their report claiming he wrote a "sexually suggestive" letter that included an outline of a naked woman. The president strongly denies these allegations, stating, "It's not my language, it's not my words."

The FBI has deployed over 1,000 agents working around the clock to review more than 100,000 pages of evidence related to the birthday book. The original volume is believed to be held in storage after being seized during raids on Epstein's properties.

Royal Family Links Surface in Investigation

Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson reportedly contributed letters to the birthday collection, alongside other prominent figures like Harvard scholar Henry Rosovsky and former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson. Computer pioneer Marvin Minsky was also among the contributors.

Maxwell meticulously documented their social circle through numerous photo albums, including visits to royal residences like Balmoral, Buckingham Palace and Windsor. These materials are now part of the extensive evidence being examined by authorities.

Sources indicate that poor-quality facsimile copies may have complicated the verification process for some letters. The exact whereabouts of the original birthday book remain unclear following the raids on Epstein's homes.

Legal Battle Intensifies Over Documents

Trump's administration faces increasing pressure over the handling of Epstein-related materials. His Attorney General, Pam Bondi, initially claimed no client list existed before reversing course and filing for release of Grand Jury testimony.

The timeline of events suggests minimal overlap with Prince Andrew's alleged involvement with Virginia Giuffre, who accused Epstein of trafficking her to the royal. Andrew has consistently denied these claims and settled a civil suit without admitting guilt.

FBI sources indicate their investigation into Andrew is now closed. A source close to the probe stated: "The timelines of the cases are not when Andrew would have been around."

Latest Revelations Spark Further Scrutiny

The birthday book controversy has reignited debate about the extensive social network Epstein cultivated among global elites. Its contents provide new insight into these relationships before allegations became public.

Maxwell's brother maintains that Epstein was murdered in jail, though his 2019 death was officially ruled a suicide. The convicted sex trafficker died while awaiting trial on child trafficking charges.

Clinton has not responded to requests for comment about the contents of his letter. As investigations continue, the full scope of Epstein's connections to powerful individuals remains under intense scrutiny.
