President Donald Trump was named more than 3,000 times in the Justice Department’s release Friday of around 3.5 million files on Jeffrey Epstein, and on Saturday, he vowed vengeance against author Michael Wolff and potentially Epstein’s estate for what the president alleged was a conspiratorial effort to damage him politically.
“Wolff, who’s a third-rate writer, was conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to hurt me politically or otherwise and that came through loud and clear,” Trump told reporters Saturday, The Independent reported Sunday. “So we’ll probably sue Wolf on that… maybe the Epstein estate, I guess. I don’t know. But we’ll certainly sue Wolff.”
A Trump biographer, Wolff has periodically revealed new alleged details about Trump’s relationship with Epstein over the years, having claimed to have recorded around “100 hours” of interview footage with Epstein before his death in 2019. Email exchanges between Wolff and Epstein released last year, however, suggested that the two had more than just a professional relationship, with Wolff giving Epstein personal advice that went beyond the “journalistic code of conduct.”
In the latest batch of Epstein files, new allegations against Trump had been unearthed. One woman told the FBI in 2016 under penalty of perjury that she had personally witnessed Trump threaten to “disappear” a girl and have her entire family killed, and that she had personally witnessed Trump sexual abuse “minor females.”
Another inclusion in the files was a child sex abuse tip against Trump that was passed to the FBI for further investigation, and another, an allegation that Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell had attempted to “effectively pimp” a young girl to Trump.
Despite the newly unearthed allegations, Trump has and is not facing any criminal charges related to his past relationship with Epstein, and has denied any and all wrongdoing.
