Michael Wolff Challenges Trump to Sue After Epstein Allegation

Author Michael Wolff challenged Donald Trump to fulfill his threats to sue him, declaring on social media that if the president sparks a legal battle, it will publicly open a Pandora’s box over his unsettled ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump has repeatedly suggested he could sue Wolff in the wake of the Department of Justice releasing millions of pages of files last week related to the investigation into the late convicted sex offender.

While speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Saturday, Trump floated the idea of taking legal action against Wolff, alleging the author and Epstein were “conspiring” against him since the release of a February 2016 email in which Wolff suggested the serial rapist was the “bullet” that could terminate Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, according to Fox News.

Trump followed up his condemnation of the writer in a Truth Social post on Monday, referring to Wolff as a “SLEAZEBAG lying ‘author’” who “conspired in order to damage me and /or my Presidency.”

In an Instagram video posted on Monday, Wolff responded to Trump’s threats.

“I woke up this morning and found that last night Donald Trump had threatened to sue me again,” he said. “I think this is the third or possibly fourth time the president of the United States has threatened to sue me.”

Wolff defended himself, saying, “Yes, I tried to encourage Jeffrey Epstein in any way I knew how to come forward with what he knew about Donald Trump.”

He went on to mention his book “Siege,” in which he said Epstein discussed his “breakup” with Trump “over a piece of real estate in Palm Beach.” Wolff then said that “three weeks after that book was published, Epstein was arrested by Donald Trump’s Justice Department.”

The author referenced Trump’s wife, Melania Trump, saying in the video that she threatened to sue him after he “said she was part of Epstein’s social circle, which we can see in these latest emails that have been released.”

“This lawsuit gives me the power to subpoena Mrs. Trump, Mr. Trump and all their friends,” Wolff continued, before sharing that he raised $800,000 through GoFundMe to fund the case.

Wrapping up his message, Wolff straight up told Trump to “bring it on.”

“I believe that if the American public knew the real nature of Donald Trump’s long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, they would turn away in horror and revulsion. So sue me. Let’s sue each other,” he said.

Wolff added: “I have nothing to hide, but, Mr. President, you surely do.”
