Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday album includes a letter from former President Bill Clinton, according to a new report.

The president sued The Wall Street Journal last week after it reported that the book contained a “bawdy” birthday card from Trump with a cryptic message about a “wonderful secret” and a drawing of a naked woman with a squigly “Donald” mimicking pubic hair. Trump denied writing the letter or drawing the picture.

Now, according to the Journal, Clinton was listed alongside Trump in the book’s “friends” section, and wrote Epstein a letter lauding their long friendship and his “childlike curiosity.” A spokesperson for Clinton declined to comment on the message to the newspaper.

Trump was listed among dozens of Epstein’s high-profile acquaintances who were asked to contribute birthday messages for the 2003 album, according to The New York Times.

The Times also reviewed an introductory letter to the book, allegedly handwritten by Ghislaine Maxwell, the Epstein associate preparing to be interviewed for a second day by Justice Department officials from a federal prison in Florida.

Maxwell wrote that the idea of the book was “to gather stories and old photographs to jog your memory about places, people and different events.”
