Former US President Bill Clinton reportedly sent the most prominent letter to disgraced American financier and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on the occasion of his 50th birthday in 2003 found in a professionally bound album full of messages from nearly 50 notable individuals, according to a report published by The Wall Street Journal.
Clinton Tops the Guest List
Clinton’s note, the report said, stood out as “the biggest name in the album.”
From Trump to Fashion Icons: Who Else Wrote Letters to Jeffrey Epstein?
Earlier reports showed President Donald Trump had penned a suggestive, “bawdy” message included in the same album. According to WSJ, other personalities who contributed letters include:
- Billionaire investor Leon Black
- Fashion designer Vera Wang
- Billionaire media mogul Mortimer Zuckerman
- Victoria’s Secret founder Les Wexner
- Attorney Alan Dershowitz
- Model scout Jean‑Luc Brunel
- Microsoft executive Nathan Myhrvold
- UK Labour politician Peter Mandelson
Epstein’s ex-colleagues from Bear Stearns Alan “Ace” Greenberg and James “Jimmy” Cayne also appear, the report said.
Inside the Bound Book
The Journal described the collection as “professionally bound … multiple volumes and included a table of contents,” The Guardian reported. The volume reportedly categorised contributors into sections such as “Friends.”
“It’s reassuring isn’t it, to have lasted as long… to have your childlike curiosity, the drive to make a difference and the solace of friends,” Clinton’s message read, per The Guardian.
Meanwhile, Clinton’s representative reiterated that the former president had cut ties with Epstein more than a decade before his arrest and claimed he was unaware of Epstein’s crimes.
From poignant to provocative, other entries reportedly ranged in tone dramatically:
* Black submitted a poem referencing fish and romance.
* Wexner included a line drawing of what appeared to be a woman’s breasts, the report said.
* Wang suggested Epstein could star on The Bachelor.
* Myhrvold’s note teased photos from Africa featuring explicit animal behaviour, with “a monkey screaming, lions and zebras mating…”
