Overview
- In a Monday Instagram video, Wolff said "Bring it on" and urged President Trump to file suit, arguing litigation would let him subpoena the Trumps and their associates.
- Trump accused Wolff on Truth Social of conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein and threatened legal action against Wolff and the Epstein estate after the Justice Department released millions of Epstein-related documents.
- Wolff said he has already sued First Lady Melania Trump following her legal threat over claims about her social circle, and he reported raising about $800,000 via GoFundMe to fund that case.
- The author acknowledged he tried to encourage Epstein to share information about Trump and cited his book detailing an alleged falling-out between the two men over Palm Beach real estate.
- Trump litigation counsel Alejandro Brito said The Daily Beast apologized to Melania Trump and retracted an article that relied on Wolff’s claims after a cease-and-desist letter, calling Wolff a "serial fabulist."
