President Trump has threatened to sue discredited author Michael Wolff, as well as the estate of Jeffrey Epstein — as he insists that the latest mass dump of files related to the pedophile financier absolves him.
“I didn’t see it myself but I was told by some very important people that not only does it absolve me, it’s the opposite of what people were hoping, you know, the radical left,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One as he flew to Florida late Saturday night.
Trump accused Wolff, who wrote an unauthorized biography of the president, of “conspiring” with Epstein to try and destroy his political career.

“We’ll probably sue Wolff on it. And maybe the Epstein estate I guess, I don’t know, but we’re certainly gonna sue him,” President Trump said.
He claimed Epstein “was conspiring with Wolff to do harm to me politically. That’s not a friend.”
Wolff featured in many of the Epstein documents published during last November’s release, in which he appeared to be acting as the disgraced financier’s unofficial adviser and publicist before the 2016 election.
In February 2016, Wolff suggested Epstein could be the “bullet” to end Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
“Yeah, you’re the Trump bullet,” Wolff responded to an email from Epstein, who noted that he was being approached by more reporters as Trump’s popularity in the polls grew.
In another email, Wolff floated the possibility of intimidating Trump for his own benefit — as he warned Epstein that the then-GOP candidate could be asked about their alleged ties while on the campaign trail.
“I hear CNN planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you — either on air or in scrum afterwards,” Wolff wrote to Epstein in December 2015.
“I think you should let him hang himself,” he added in a follow-up the next day.
“If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt.”
Responding to questions about the documents, Wolff said at the time that he couldn’t remember the context.
Describing Epstein as “an enormously valuable source,” he added, “part of the context of this is that I was pushing Epstein at that point to go public with what he knew about Trump,” the Times of London reported.
