The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that former President Bill Clinton's letter was among nearly 50 others in a birthday album compiled for Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday in 2003 by Ghislaine Maxwell. The album also included letters from numerous prominent figures, including billionaire investor Leon Black, fashion designer Vera Wang, media owner Mortimer Zuckerman, former Victoria's Secret owner Les Wexner, attorney Alan Dershowitz, model scout Jean-Luc Brunel, former Microsoft executive Nathan Myhrvold, the British ambassador to the United States, and Labour party politician Peter Mandelson. Several letters contained sexually suggestive content or images, according to the WSJ. The New York Times confirmed the WSJ's reporting. A Clinton spokesperson referred to a prior statement that Clinton had cut ties with Epstein over a decade before his arrest.

The WSJ previously reported on a "bawdy" letter written to Epstein by former President Donald Trump, who has since sued the WSJ and its parent company for libel. The Times also reviewed a previously unseen photo of Trump and Epstein with James Brown, and a signed inscription in a copy of Trump's book "Trump: The Art of the Comeback" reading "To Jeff — You are the greatest!"

Spokespeople for several individuals named in the WSJ report declined to comment or offered statements minimizing their contact with Epstein.

Impact Statement: The revelation of these letters adds to the existing public record surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's relationships with powerful figures and raises further questions about their knowledge of his alleged crimes.
