One theme emerging is how #MichaelWolff acted as adviser to #Epstein. Wolff advised Epstein to be “anti-Trump” as a way of garnering sympathy.
“I believe Trump offers an ideal opportunity,” Wolff wrote to Epstein in March of 2016, acc/to the emails. “It’s a chance to make the story about something other than you, while, at the same time, letting you frame your own story. Also, becoming an anti-Trump voice gives you a certain political cover which you decidedly don’t have now.”
The #journalist #MichaelWolff has said that #Epstein approached him about writing his biography. The author said he declined the request but nevertheless began interviewing the #SexOffender & conducted about 100 hours of interviews with Epstein. He told Washington Monthly earlier this year that Epstein became a source as he was writing his books on #Trump, which began with the 2018 tell-all “Fire and Fury.”
But in these communications Wolff is offering advice not conducting interviews.
