In 2009, Bill Clinton praised Michael Jackson, who kept “disgusting and downright shocking images of child torture, adult and child nudity, and sadomasochism” at his home, an anonymous investigator told The Daily Mail.

A newly released police report from the 2003 search of the King of Pop’s Neverland Ranch revealed “disgusting and downright shocking images of child torture, adult and child nudity, and sadomasochism,” The Daily Mail reports. (VIDEO: Bill Clinton To Campaign Near Pedophile’s ‘Orgy Island’)

In 2005, Jackson was acquitted on seven felony counts of child molestation and two felony counts of providing an intoxicant to a minor.

In 2009, Clinton heaped praise on the King of Pop, saying, “He was an immensely gifted man and I think he basically meant well.”

“I know about all the trouble he had in his life and I hope he will be remembered for his contribution as an artist. I hope his children turn out well. That would be the greatest tribute you could have,” the former president added.

Jackson performed at Clinton’s first inauguration in 1993.

Last April, Jermaine Jackson, Michael’s brother told TMZ “of course” and “hands down” that the late pop star would have voted for Hillary Clinton if he was still alive. Jermaine also agreed that Michael Jackson was a big fan of the former secretary of state.
