President Donald Trump is talking tough again — this time threatening to sue Michael Wolff, the author of four books about him, over claims tying Trump to Jeffrey Epstein and Melania. But as always with Trump, the threat sounds bigger than it is.
Trump told reporters Saturday that Wolff “conspired” with Epstein to damage him politically. The White House doubled down on that line during a Tuesday bill signing. Wolff, who has spent years exposing disturbing details about Trump’s Epstein ties, didn’t flinch. On his podcast Inside Trump’s Head, co-hosted with Joanna Coles of The Daily Beast, Wolff went scorched-earth.
“He obviously has so much to hide,” Wolff said.“But also, he can’t sue me. What is he going to do? Is he going to sit for a deposition? Is he going to answer all of the questions that I would have the right to ask him about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein?”
“I know a lot of things,” Wolff declared. A few sentences later, the picture became clear: every trip, party, and dinner that connected Trump to Epstein’s orbit.
The timing is explosive. Last week, the Department of Justice dropped over 3 million new Epstein files, triggering a nationwide firestorm. The documents reveal how Epstein, a convicted sex offender, moved freely among the richest and most powerful people in the world — and who enabled him along the way.
Wolff isn’t just pointing fingers at Trump. Some Trump allies have been caught lying or misleading about their connections to Epstein. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, for example, continued correspondence with Epstein years after claiming to have cut ties. The files suggest that Epstein’s network in Washington was bigger and stickier than anyone admitted publicly.
Trump’s reaction to Wolff’s work fits a familiar pattern: threaten lawsuits, intimidate journalists, then hope the public forgets. Wolff isn’t scared. He frames the potential legal battle as a minefield for Trump. Any lawsuit would force Trump to testify, answer questions, and put his Epstein relationships under legal scrutiny — the last thing the president wants.
The Epstein documents confirm long-standing concerns about Trump’s circles, and Wolff continues to push the story into the spotlight. If Trump wants to sue, Wolff is more than ready — and he’s calling the bluff loud and clear.
This is the latest skirmish in a long-running war between Trump and journalists who refuse to sanitize the messy, sometimes criminal, underbelly of his network. And Wolff is daring him to go there.
