The Wolff-Epstein Tapes

“I wanted to know more about [Michael] Wolff’s many interviews with Jeffrey Epstein, who we just learned from The Wall Street Journal got a special birthday gift in 2003 from Donald Trump. (The story prompted another of Trump’s ridiculous lawsuits, this one against Rupert Murdoch). So far, Wolff has released only snippets of his tapes, which establish for certain that Trump and Epstein were close for ten years. We agreed that Epstein’s death is now becoming like the Kennedy assassination, with a cottage industry of conspiracy theories. What follows is a transcript of the hour-long interview, edited for length and clarity.” (07/20/25)
