Overview
- Trump renewed threats of legal action in remarks and on Truth Social, alleging Wolff conspired with Jeffrey Epstein to damage him and signaling potential suits against Wolff and the Epstein estate.
- Wolff publicly invited a lawsuit in an Instagram video and on his podcast, arguing that discovery would let him subpoena the Trumps and question the president under oath about Epstein.
- Wolff said he would press Trump on a document he claims indicates Epstein introduced Trump to Melania, a claim the Trumps have denied.
- The author noted he has already sued Melania Trump and said he raised about $800,000 via GoFundMe to pursue that case.
- Trump’s team intensified pushback as counsel Alejandro Brito touted a cease-and-desist that preceded The Daily Beast’s retraction, and communications director Steven Cheung dismissed Wolff’s credibility.
