Clinton's friendship with financier Jeffrey Epstein has long been the subject of scrutiny, but the release of new documents sheds light on the details of their relationship. The files, obtained by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, include a letter from the former president to Epstein, as well as a drawing allegedly signed by Donald Trump. Clinton's representatives have declined to comment on the letter, which reads in part, "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." The revelation comes as Clinton prepares to testify before the committee, along with his wife Hillary and several former government officials.
