Bill Clinton praised Epstein’s ‘childlike curiosity’ – WSJ

Bill Clinton - Epstein news

The former US president reportedly complimented the convicted sex offender in a recently-disclosed 2003 birthday message.

Former US President Bill Clinton wrote a personal note for disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s 2003 birthday album, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

The report comes as US President Donald Trump and top Democrats continue to trade accusations over past connections to Epstein, who died in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on new sex-trafficking charges.

According to the WSJ, the album compiled for Epstein’s 50th birthday included a handwritten message from Clinton: “It’s reassuring isn’t it, to have lasted as long, across all the years of learning and knowing, adventures and [illegible word], and also to have your childlike curiosity, the drive to make a difference and the solace of friends.”

Billionaire Leon Black, fashion designer Vera Wang, and media mogul Mort Zuckerman were also among the high-profile figures who contributed messages to the album, the newspaper said.

A spokesman for Clinton declined to comment on the note but reiterated that the former president had severed ties with Epstein long before his 2019 arrest and was unaware of his alleged crimes.

Last week, the WSJ reported that the same album included a letter from Trump featuring a drawing of a naked woman. Trump responded with a defamation suit.

Both senior Democrats and some of Trump’s allies have accused the Department of Justice and the FBI of a coverup after the agencies denied the existence of Epstein’s client list and found no foul play in his death, which was officially ruled a suicide. Trump, for his part, has claimed that the case is being used to discredit his presidency.

  1. Epstein was the patsy. Severely compromised by his addiction to underage sex, he was recruited and groomed for the task of recovering the Maxwell loot – over a billion worth.
    Watch now as Ghislaine, who was the real agent, is extracted back to Israel.
