Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One late Saturday as he flew to Florida, he explained: “I didn’t see it myself but I was told by some very important people that not only does it absolve me, it’s the opposite of what people were hoping, you know, the radical left.”
The US president accused Wolff – said to be a longtime Trump antagonist – of allegedly conspiring with Epstein to sabotage his political rise.
“It looked like this guy, Wolff, was a writer, was conspiring with Epstein to do harm to me,” Trump said, calling Wolff a “third-rate writer.”
Trump said lawsuits are now firmly on the table.
“We’ll probably sue Wolff on it. And maybe the Epstein estate I guess, I don’t know, but we’re certainly gonna sue him,” he said.
“Because he was conspiring with Wolff to do harm to me politically.
“That’s not a friend.”
The remarks came after the Department of Justice released more than three million Epstein-related records and emails Friday, prompting renewed scrutiny of figures mentioned in the files.
Trump is allegedly referenced several times in the documents, though the DOJ has stressed that inclusion alone does not indicate wrongdoing.
It comes as…
- Second victim claims she was
- Epstein’s revealed
- Shock
- Network of
- Fergie
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said that even when Epstein was attempting to disparage Trump, there was no allegation of criminal conduct.
Blanche told Fox News Digital : “In none of these communications, even when doing his best to disparage President Trump, did Epstein suggest President Trump had done anything criminal or had any inappropriate contact with any of his victims.”
Emails previously released in November show Wolff acting as an unofficial adviser and sounding board for Epstein in the lead-up to the 2016 election, the New York Post reports.
In one February 2016 exchange, Wolff suggested Epstein could be the “bullet” to end Trump’s presidential campaign.

“Yeah, you’re the Trump bullet,” Wolff replied to Epstein in one email.
In another message sent during the heat of the campaign, Wolff warned Epstein that CNN was preparing to question Trump about their relationship.
“I hear CNN planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you – either on air or in scrum afterwards,” Wolff wrote in December 2015.
“I think you should let him hang himself,” he added the following day.
Wolff later told reporters he could not recall the context of the messages, though he described Epstein as “an enormously valuable source” and acknowledged pushing him to go public with what he claimed to know about Trump, according to The Times .
Trump, meanwhile, dismissed the renewed attention and insisted the latest document dump only reinforces his position.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing and has not been accused of any crimes linked to Epstein.
