According to the UK media outlet "The Sunday Mail," former US President Bill Clinton once wrote a "passionate and enthusiastic" letter to the notorious financier and child molester Epstein, which was included in Epstein's 50th birthday commemorative album.
This leather-bound "Book of Honors" was compiled by Maxwell, Epstein's ex-lover who was also imprisoned, over the course of more than a year, collecting contributions from hundreds of political and business elites. Twenty years later, this collection became evidence in a judicial investigation, sparking a new wave of scandals and conspiracy theories in the American political arena.
Clinton was very close to Epstein
The whistleblower claims that the letter is marked with "From the desk of William Jefferson Clinton." Although it is only one page long, it expresses admiration for Epstein. The relationship between Clinton and Epstein has been questioned by the public for many years: Clinton took the private jet "Lolita Express" multiple times, and there are rumors that the two spent time together on the Caribbean private island "Lolita Island." Despite Clinton's insistence that he was unaware of Epstein's criminal activities, the exposure of this letter undoubtedly stoked the public's sensitive nerves about this complex relationship.

At the same time, Trump's presence has never been far from the center of the storm. The Wall Street Journal reported last week that Trump had also written a letter with sexual innuendos and obscene content in the book, even claiming that the edges of the letter were made up of silhouettes of nude women. This accusation quickly caused a big uproar: Trump immediately filed a lawsuit, claiming "I don't draw pictures of women," emphasizing that the letter was forged and reiterating that he had already cut off contact with Epstein before his first accusation in 2006.

Trump's attitude toward Epstein has always been full of subtle shifts: He once publicly vowed to be "completely transparent" about the Epstein case, even promising to release all files. However, earlier this month, his Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed there was no so-called "client list" and stated that more documents would not be released, causing anger among Trump's core supporters, the "MAGA" group, who accused her of betraying the promise to expose the truth about the "deep state." Pressured, Bondi submitted court documents last Friday, requesting the release of grand jury testimony involving Maxwell and the Epstein case to regain some trust.
More celebrities' names are in the commemorative album
Behind this commemorative album lies a complex network of the elite: According to reports, besides Clinton, British Prince Andrew and his former wife Sarah Ferguson, former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, computer pioneer Marvin Minsky, and even Harvard University's former dean Henry Rosovsky have contributed.
According to Newsweek, the original copy of the blue leather-bound book is missing. It is believed that the FBI seized this book and dozens of photo albums during raids on Epstein's homes in Florida and New York. These photo albums recorded Epstein and Maxwell's travel photos with members of royal families, political leaders, and business tycoons - including scenes of their visits to Britain's Balmoral Palace, Buckingham Palace, and Windsor Castle. After each trip, Maxwell personally created these exquisite photo albums, documenting their luxurious lives and power networks.

Currently, some copies and faxed versions of the book are stored in over 100,000 pages of evidence materials, reviewed around the clock by about 1,000 FBI agents. A source revealed that Trump's claim of "obscene letters" is based only on "low-quality fax copies," not the original. A source from The Sunday Mail said, "The real commemorative album may be stored in some warehouse, and no one knows its exact location."
The controversy surrounding this commemorative album has also brought up the unresolved scandal involving Prince Andrew again. Virginia Giuffre accused Epstein of selling her three times to Prince Andrew for sexual transactions, with two of them occurring when she was underage. Although Prince Andrew firmly denied the allegations and eventually reached a civil settlement of £12 million, the shadow of public opinion has never faded. The FBI has concluded its criminal investigation into Prince Andrew, and there are reports that due to inconsistencies in the case timeline and other evidence, he will not appear in the grand jury documents to be released soon.

Epstein's death added to the mystery of the case. In 2019, he died under mysterious circumstances in a New York prison, with the official cause of death being suicide, but his family and some members of the public insist he was murdered to silence him. Ian Maxwell, Maxwell's brother, recently told the Daily Mail, "I believe he was killed." Maxwell herself is currently serving a 20-year sentence and is appealing to the Supreme Court.
Epstein died in prison, causing great controversy
This decades-long scandal weaves a shadow network reaching the heart of world power: Former US presidents, British princes, tech moguls, and academic leaders have left traces of varying degrees. For Trump, this is more than a war against past allies, the media, and the judicial system. On one hand, he uses the Epstein case to attack political opponents; on the other hand, he faces a significant public relations crisis due to his involvement in the case.
The report by the Wall Street Journal, Clinton's letter, Trump's denial and lawsuit, have all become new chapters in this drama, and that leather-bound commemorative album seems to be the last "time bomb" Epstein left behind for the world.
Beneath this seemingly "birthday commemorative album," lies deep secrets capable of shaking royal families, the White House, and the club of billionaires. Whether the letters are forged or the truth will remain buried forever, perhaps ultimately remains uncertain. But what Epstein left behind is not just dozens of lavish photo albums, but a huge metaphor of mutual protection, exchange, and silence among the global elite.
