Leaked Emails Purportedly Show Epstein and Michael Wolff Discussing How to Handle Trump’s Alleged Involvement
NEW YORK — Newly surfaced emails purportedly linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are raising renewed questions about potential connections between Epstein and former President Donald Trump, though the documents remain unverified by any major news outlet or independent authority.
According to the alleged correspondence, which has circulated online as part of the latest purported “Epstein files,” Epstein and journalist Michael Wolff appeared to exchange private emails discussing how to manage public scrutiny surrounding Trump’s past associations with Epstein.
In one alleged 2019 message, Epstein reportedly wrote to Wolff:
“Trump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever. Of course, he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.”
The statement appears to reference incidents at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s private Florida estate, and implies the former president may have been aware of Epstein’s illicit activities involving underage girls.
However, no independent evidence has been presented to verify the claim.
Another alleged exchange from 2015 purportedly shows Wolff advising Epstein on a media strategy regarding Trump’s comments about their past association.
“I think you should let him hang himself. If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, that gives you valuable PR and political currency… He can hang himself in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you,” the email reads.
The same set of messages also suggests that CNN had been preparing to question Trump about Epstein during a live interview or press event, though this too remains unsubstantiated.
Experts and media analysts are cautioning the public to approach the alleged leaks with skepticism.
Cybersecurity professionals note the potential for deepfake text forgeries or manipulated files to emerge from online “data dumps” tied to the ongoing release of Epstein-related materials.
If authenticated, the emails could represent a major political revelation. However, in the absence of verification, they remain speculative and potentially misleading.
As of now, no official agency, court, or credible media organization has confirmed the authenticity of the alleged communications.
