Michael Wolff is an author who has made waves before, penning books on scandals embroiling all things Trump. In his controversial 2018 book on the Trump White House, Fire and Fury, Wolff described the administration as thoroughly incompetent, that Trump lacked any sort of attention span, Ivanka wanted to someday inherit the presidency, and that Trump’s penchant for regular-guy fast food ordered in secret was born of a fear that someone would poison him. It received mixed reviews, with some people claiming that certain quotes were embellished. With that one responsible caveat (Because “extraordinary claims must be met with extraordinary caution”), Wolff has had unfettered access to both Trump-world, Fox-News media world, and – apparently, Jeffrey Epstein’s world. Below, we see that Wolff states that he encouraged Epstein to release “pictures” of Donald Trump, which would – presumably, destroy him. Epstein balked because he feared for his life.
In the below, you will hear that Epstein told Wolff that while he may be a pervert, he wasn’t crazy (In fear of what Trump would do).
Listen to author Michael Wolff says he urged Epstein to release information he had on Trump, but Epstein was worried about what Trump might do to him:“He said, ‘I may be a pervert, but I’m not crazy.’ He then said, ‘Trump is a man without any scruples.’”

When a guy like Epstein says that someone is “without scruples,” – you know that he’s talking about someone disgusting. Not that there should be any division between Epstein and Trump, not when Trump flatly admitted that Epstein “stole” Virginia Guffrie from the Mar-a-Lago spa and that it was at least part of the basis for their falling out, that right there speaks volumes. That Trump remembers a spa girl from the early 2000s who wasn’t even 18… It certainly makes clear that Trump knew this girl, who was later allegedly raped by Prince Andrew.
As for whether Epstein actually phrased the quote that way, that is up to you as to whether this direct quote is accurate. But the fact that he glosses over the presumption that Epstein had pictures, when lore of the cameras in houses is very much established, makes it far more reliable to believe that such pictures do absolutely exist. And if they do, then it makes sense that the FBI would have said pictures within their Epstein files. It would certainly explain Trump’s behavior of late.
But Wolff’s assertion should be given serious consideration for another reason. Given all that we currently know about Jeffrey Epstein, which was enough for the royal family to bench Prince Andrew, any former “best friend” should have the onus on him to explain what the friendship might have been based on, especially a friend who has already been revealed to be in pictures in the public domain, and whose signature as pubic hair is placed on a birthday wish that references “secrets” that must be kept. The very fact that Trump sued the Wall Street Journal demonstrates just how threatened Trump feels by the publication.
We weren’t there. But Wolff was. He at least had the opportunity to talk to Epstein about Trump and relay the fear about what Trump might do. I don’t know if Epstein killed himself or was killed – but such a question might be moot if Epstein was given the choice, either do it himself or have it done for him, less pleasantly. It might be moot if only Epstein believed it was inevitable. I simply don’t know. I do know that Epstein certainly feared the future, or he wouldn’t be dead, one way or another.
It is that the pictures themselves likely exist that should be the primary takeaway – not that Epstein said that Trump would harm him over them. If the FBI actually possesses pictures of Trump with underage girls, that might well be enough to send the matter reeling into the destruction of all things MAGA. On the other hand, there is plenty out there that should absolutely be enough to have done it already. Assume nothing. Except, I am going to now assume that there are pictures of Trump in those files. Someone deemed it necessary to use 1,000 FBI agents to flag all things Trump in those files.
I will take the other stuff under advisement.

Zoomers, we are always in need of donations. We work hard to get you analysis that you will not find in the mainstream media, but all media have been hit hard since the big companies have gobbled up and monopolized commentary. Anything you can spare will be immensely appreciated. And thank you to all who have donated generously already. Ursula
“when Trump flatly admitted that Epstein “stole” Virginia Guffrie from the Mar-a-Lago spa and that it was at least part of the basis for their falling out, that right there speaks volumes.” Trump lying as usual. It was not “at least part of the basis for their falling out,” it was a rationalization and misdirection years after the fact. Ghislaine Maxwell recruited Virginia Giuffre from Mar a Lago in 2000. (See Josh Gerstein, “Unsealed documents detail alleged Epstein victim’s recruitment at Mar-a-Lago,” Politico.Aug. 8/9 2019). Trump and Epstein were still good buddies until lat 2004, when Trump screwed Epstein out of a huge Palm Beach real estate purchase Epstein was about to make. In a phone interview with New York magazine in 2002 (note the year) Trump was asked about Epstein. He replied, ““I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side”. Sounds really sore at Epstein, doesn’t he?
The you also say, “That Trump remembers a spa girl from the early 2000s who wasn’t even 18… It certainly makes clear that Trump knew this girl … ” I don’t think it doest. Because the only thing that would remind him (very forcefully) that she worked for him occurred much later. Back in 2000 her father was actually a maintenance employee at Mar a Lago, but even so, there is no reason to think Trump knew her. She was just a locker room attendant or “towel girl.” She had nothing to do with Trump’s main sources for girls, namely the teen modeling racket.She was not even a model. Trump may have known her slightly. Since he was so close with Maxwell and Epstein, he may well have known that she went over to Epstein, but he certainly didn’t care.
But in 2015, Giuffre sued Maxwell for defamation; she won the case in 2017. The first public information from this civil suit came out after documents were unsealed containing revealing details about their relationship, which implicated Epstein and others. The first batch of these documents were released to the public in August 2019.
Wolf has audio recordings of all his talks with Epstein.
He has not released them and certainly not released these tapes. Given The New Republic’s review of Fire and Fury, the caveat as just that – a caveat, is warranted.

When they raided Epstein’s homes, in one, they broke open a safe and along with documents, photos, diamonds, several “black books” were terabytes (I think it was three) of video recordings, phony passports, etc. The warrant didn’t specify tapes or videos, so they had to leave them behind. The next day, one of Epstein’s lawyers lugged “two suitcases” over to the FBI supposedly containing the tapes. With all of his homes professionally wired, it stands to reason that he was blackmailing these men. One of his pageant buddies, Brunel, was picked up by the French authorities while leaving the country and shortly after it went public that he would co-operate with the investigators, he was found hanging in his cell. If you read the bureau of prisons and Inspector General’s reports on the Epstein hanging, it starts to smell. Epstein was supposed to have a cellmate full-time, and the day after they removed his cellmate & failed to transfer someone else, he was found dead. The pictures don’t add up, either. There were two wounds on the back of his neck, down near the collar line that bled. Yet, there was no blood on the sheet that was around his neck. The guards lied and turned in a hand-made “noose” that wasn’t the one he used. It’s all in the official reports. Trump threatened to kill not only the girls he raped, but their families, too. Trump is capable of anything, and he knows the types to do it. Bondi & her crew will destroy any incriminating evidence against Trump. Acosta did that for Trump & Dershowitz in the Florida case. These guys don’t mess around, so to speak.
