New Epstein Documents Surface
Recent disclosures linked to Jeffrey Epstein reveal that the convicted sex offender once sought assistance from Ken Starr, a former independent counsel, to aid discredited writer Michael Wolff in digging up information about President Trump.
On May 18, 2018, Epstein reached out to Starr about his “good friend Michael Wolfe” (spelling error included). He mentioned that Wolff was looking to add details to the indictment of a sitting president, hinting at a draft that he had seen. Epstein seemed to wonder what might be overlooked, particularly in terms of criminal implications and any constitutional issues involving Trump.
Later that day, Starr responded, saying he would be open to discussing this matter and invited Epstein to share his email address with Wolff.
Starr passed away in September 2022 at the age of 76.
Wolff is known for his critical works about Trump, including one titled “All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America,” which centers on the upcoming 2024 presidential race.
Interestingly, Wolff once mentioned to Epstein that sharing details about his connection with a future president could pose a significant risk to Trump’s 2016 campaign. In February 2016, he alerted Epstein that the New York Times was probing into their relationship and suggested a proactive approach.
Although Epstein invited Wolff to meet with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, Wolff declined, and their email exchanges didn’t resume until later that month.
Epstein indicated there were numerous reporters looking into the matter.
Documents suggest Wolff had once encouraged Epstein to consider blackmailing Trump, describing ways to create “debt” from the president. In an email from December 2015, Wolff warned Epstein that Donald Trump would likely be questioned about their alleged affair during his campaign.
“I’ve heard CNN plans to ask President Trump about his relationship with you tonight,” he wrote. The following day, he added, “I think we should let him hang himself,” suggesting that Epstein could benefit politically from the situation.
Epstein maintained that Trump had frequented his Palm Beach home without engaging in illegal activities, stating in an email from February 2019 that Trump had visited numerous times and had “never had a massage.” This was months prior to Epstein’s arrest on sex trafficking charges, after which he died in prison.
