(Washington Times) The Clinton Presidential Center removed a trivia question from social media after a slew of snarky responses about former President Bill Clinton‘s ties to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
In honor of World Typing Day, the presidential library commemorated Mr. Clinton‘s time in the Oval Office by asking people to guess who received the first-ever email from the former president. The tweet included an old photo of Mr. Clinton typing on a 1990s-era laptop computer.
“On November 7, 1998, Pres. @BillClinton typed out and sent his first-ever email! Can you guess who it was to?” The now-deleted post said.
The question was immediately met with mockery with scores answering “Jeffrey Epstein.”
The Clinton Presidential Center initially sought to limit responses as a form of damage control before deleting the post entirely. Later, it clarified that Mr. Clinton‘s first email was sent to astronaut John Glenn, who was in space.
Mr. Clinton‘s association with Epstein, who died in jail awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, was documented in recently released court documents.
The unsealed court documents from Virginia Giuffre, who came forward with allegations against Epstein, include frequent references to Mr. Clinton, who is not accused of any wrongdoing.
