According to the Hindustan Times' report dated September 9, 2025, Clinton was among the A-listers in Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday album. Democrats released a copy of the same in the House Oversight Committee on September 8, 2025.

The publication mentioned that the album in question was allegedly compiled for Epstein in 2003 and signed by some of his friends, one of whom was the former president. In his letter on Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday, Clinton wrote:

"Happy 50th. It’s heartening, isn’t it, to have lived so long, across all the years of learning and knowing, adventure and work, and still to have your childlike curiosity, the drive to make a difference, and the circle of friends. Bill Clinton"

Clinton's office had clarified the former president's distance from Jeffrey Epstein in 2019. However, there hasn't been any comment or clarification on Clinton's end following the release of the birthday note.

On July 9, 2019, Bill Clinton issued a public statement via his Deputy Chief of Staff. The statement reinstated that the former president had distanced himself from Jeffrey Epstein. It mentioned:

"President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York."

In June 2008, Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to state charges of solicitation of prostitution with a minor under the age of 18 and solicitation of prostitution. Additionally, the statement detailed the times Clinton crossed paths with Epstein, stating:

"In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein's airplane: one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation. Staff, supporters of the Foundation, and his Secret Service detail traveled on every leg of every trip."

Clinton's statement mentioned that the former president had a meeting with Jeffrey Epstein in his Harlem office in 2022. He added that the meeting took place around the same time the former president briefly visited Epstein's New York apartment. Clinton clarified that he was accompanied by his staff and security detail during the visit.

"He's not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade, and has never been to Little St. James Island, Epstein's ranch in New Mexico, or his residence in Florida," Bill Clinton's statement affirmed.
