Trump said the newly released Epstein files «absolve» him of any wrongdoing and reveal a plot against him.<\/b>
\nPresident Donald Trump threatened to sue the estate of Jeffrey Epstein following the latest release of the Department of Justice\u2018s case files on the late sex trafficker.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Saturday, Trump said the documents revealed a conspiracy between Epstein and journalist Michael Wolff. He said he might sue Wolff as well, for taking part in a supposed plot aimed at derailing his presidential campaign.
\u201cIt looked like this guy Wolff, who\u2019s a writer, was conspiring with Epstein to do harm to me,\u201d he said. \u201cI didn\u2019t see it myself but I was told by some very important people that not only does it absolve me, it\u2019s the opposite of what people were hoping, you know, the radical left.\u201d
Trump called Wolff a \u201cthird-rate writer\u201d and said the journalist intended to \u201churt me, politically or otherwise.\u201d
\u201cSo, we\u2019ll probably sue Wolff, on that,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd maybe the Epstein estate, I guess. But we\u2019re going to certainly sue Wolff.\u201d
Trump added that Epstein was \u201cconspiring with Wolff\u201d to derail the president\u2019s political goals.
\u201cThat\u2019s not a friend,\u201d he said.
Trump has repeatedly claimed that he and Epstein were not close. Epstein himself told Wolff that Trump was once one of his closest friends and a suggestive letter from the president was included in a book celebrating Epstein\u2019s 50th birthday. Trump and Epstein both resided in South Florida, but Trump has claimed they had a falling out over Epstein poaching employees from his Mar-a-Lago resort.<\/p>\n
