House Democrats have released emails that they say raised new questions about U.S. President Donald Trump’s ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and how much he knew about Epstein’s abuse of underage girls. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/13/world/politics/epstein-trump-knew-about-girls/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #michaelwolff #ghislainemaxwell #jeffreyepstein #us #donaldtrump #republicans #mikejohnson
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.

In the 2018 email #Epstein wrote to Lawrence H. Summers, the fmr #Treasury secretary & president of #Harvard University where he called #Trump “borderline insane”, Epstein also made a reference to the lawyer #AlanDershowitz writing, “dersh, a few feet further from the border but not by much.” It was unclear what prompted this assessment from Epstein.
