Clinton\u2019s name has surfaced multiple times in connection with Epstein, who died in prison six years ago. Related documents and testimony have been publicly reported, and Clinton was among several high-profile figures named in court filings released last year.<\/p>\n

Clinton\u2019s name also appears on flight logs attributed to a private jet owned by Epstein, making several trips between 2002-2003,\u00a0according to reports<\/a>, though there have been no reports or evidence of Clinton having any involvement in Epstein\u2019s sex crimes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s airplane: one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation,\u201d Clinton spokesman Angel Urena said in 2019.<\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s report comes as President Donald Trump\u2019s administration continues to face backlash over its handling of the Epstein investigation. Earlier this month, the Department of Justice released a two-page memo concluding Epstein\u2019s 2019 death was a suicide.<\/p>\n

The memo sparked outrage among Trump\u2019s MAGA base, as it undercut years of conspiracy theories\u2014promoted by Attorney General Pam Bondi and other Trump officials\u2014alleging Epstein was murdered as part of a broader government cover-up.<\/p>\n

According to the Journal, Clinton\u2019s note to Epstein was written in the former president\u2019s \u201cdistinctive scrawl.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s reassuring isn\u2019t 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,\u201d the letter reportedly said.<\/p>\n

In a May 2016 deposition, Johanna Sjoberg\u2014one of Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s alleged victims\u2014was questioned about former President Bill Clinton. Sjoberg has stated that she was involved in Epstein\u2019s circle between 2001 and 2006.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Epstein] said one time that Clinton likes them young, referring to girls,\u201d Sjoberg testified during the deposition, per\u00a0Newsweek<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Clinton declined to comment on the birthday message cited by the Wall Street Journal, instead pointing to a prior statement asserting that the former president had severed ties with Epstein more than a decade before the financier\u2019s 2019 arrest and had no knowledge of his crimes.<\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s report follows a Journal article published last week detailing a separate birthday letter allegedly written by Trump for Epstein\u2019s 50th birthday. According to the report, the note featured typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, with Trump\u2019s signature placed below the woman\u2019s waist to resemble pubic hair.<\/p>\n

\u201cHappy Birthday \u2014 and may every day be another wonderful secret,\u201d the note concluded, according to the Journal.<\/p>\n

Trump has vehemently denied writing the note and has said he never makes any drawings when he does write letters. He has also filed a multi-billion-dollar lawsuit against the Journal and its owner, Rupert Murdoch.<\/p>\n

The Journal reported that the birthday notes from Trump and Clinton were among a collection of letters compiled by Epstein\u2019s longtime associate and former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell. She assembled the messages into a leather-bound album and presented it to Epstein as a gift for his 50th birthday.<\/p>\n

Last week, Trump also directed Bondi to release \u201cany and all\u201d grand jury testimony related to the Epstein investigation, aiming to shut down what he called \u201cridiculous\u201d scrutiny surrounding the Epstein documents.<\/p>\n

However, on Wednesday, a federal judge in Florida denied a request to unseal grand jury documents related to the Epstein investigation. The Trump administration is still awaiting rulings on several other requests to release additional grand jury materials, Newsweek added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
