Bill Clinton was photographed with Jeffrey Epstein in 1993 when the financier and partner Ghislaine Maxwell visited the White House. While Clinton's team previously confirmed the former president traveled on Epstein's plane four times, they clarified that it was with Secret Service and for the Clinton Foundation. According to his team, Clinton cut ties with Epstein more than a decade before he was arrested in 2019. "It's reassuring, isn't 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," Clinton reportedly wrote in a 50th birthday message to Epstein.

The Wall Street Journal previously reported that Donald Trump wrote a celebratory message in the journal that included a hand-drawn outline of a woman sans clothing. "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret," Trump allegedly wrote.

Donald Trump responded to the report by suing The Wall Street Journal's publisher, Dow Jones, and its parent company, News Corp. Trump claimed the note is "nonexistent" and a "fake thing." A spokesperson for the publisher said, "We have full confidence in the rigor and accuracy of our reporting, and will vigorously defend against any lawsuit."
