Donald Trump is not the only US president to appear in a collection of birthday messages sent to Jeffrey Epstein.
The entry attributed to former President Bill Clinton is one of roughly 50 greetings published in a 50th birthday book edited by Epstein in 2003. Other notes appear to come from Epstein’s relatives, including his father, as well as executives and scientists.
Some entries in the collection, it was Released by House Committee On Monday, there will be a strict hope, congratulations and benign birthday message. Others are crude or sexually explicit, reminiscing about assumed exploits of the past or focusing on meeting women. Includes photos of Epstein, sometimes not just friends and peers, but also very few or nothing.
Trump says he did not write sexually suggestive letters to Epstein or paint a picture of the bent woman surrounding the letter.
Let’s take a look at some of the people who are allegedly writing Epstein’s greetings.
Bill Clinton
The message attributed to Clinton, which appears to match his handwriting and signature, praises Epstein’s “childlike curiosity.”
“What has lasted for so many years, and has lasted for all of the years, including learning and knowledge, adventure, and (unreadable) is encouraging to have childlike curiosity, willingness to make a difference, and comfort from friends,” Clinton writes.
The difficult-to-read message is written in cursive black markers on white paper.
Clinton’s office did not respond to requests for comment. His office previously said that he knew nothing about Epstein’s crimes and traveled with him for a humanitarian trip.
Alan Darshorts
Delho, a well-known law professor who represents both Trump and Epstein, joked that he had persuaded Vanity Fair Magazine to change the focus of future articles from Epstein to Clinton.
He chuckled at a fictional excerpt from an article with the headline “Who was the Epstein guy?”
“Was he flying to Africa with a former politician who was vague from Arkansas’ wishes? Who was that politician and why did Epstein choose him for the coveted seat of his private jet?
Dershowitz did not respond to an email seeking comment. He says he couldn’t recall writing an entry for Epstein’s book previously.
Business and Academic Leaders
The book contains notes not from common names but from men who hold high status in business and academia. The art depicting a woman’s breast is labelled “specially commissioned by Henry Rosovsky.” Rosovsky was a Harvard economist who passed away in 2002.
“I wanted to get what you wanted… so here it is,” says a memo attributed to Leslie Wexner, a former CEO of the billionaire, including the Victoria Secret and the brand that includes Bath & Bodyworks. Then there was a picture of her breasts.
The poem, which stems from private equity investor Leon Black, refers to “geographically widespread blonde, red, brunette, or brunette.”
Attempts to reach Wexner through his previous company and his foundation were not immediately successful. Black declined to comment through a spokesman.
