Journalist In Jeffrey Epstein Emails Makes Bold Prediction About Trump​

Journalist Michael Wolff, who apparently advisedJeffrey Epstein on how to manipulate then-presidential candidate Donald Trump for his own benefit, is speaking out after his emails with the disgraced financier and convicted sex trafficker were made public by the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.

In a 2015 email released by the committee, Epstein wonders to Wolff what then-candidate Trump should say if he’s asked about their relationship during a presidential debate.

“I think you should let him hang himself. If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency,” the journalist advised Epstein.

I can't take any more of this, Andrew told Epstein, released emails show​

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor told Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell "I can't take any more of this", when he was first alerted 14 years ago that a British newspaper was about to run a report about the trio.

His email conversation with the US-based pair was among documents from the estate of the convicted sex offender Epstein that were released on Wednesday, including some mentioning Donald Trump.

Epstein tapped his vast influence network while he tracked Trump’s rise, emails show​

A week before Donald Trump prevailed in the 2016 election, an email landed in Jeffrey Epstein’s inbox encouraging him to change the fate of the world.

“There’s an opportunity to come forward this week and talk about Trump in such a way that could garner you great sympathy and help finish him,” the sender, journalist Michael Wolff, wrote to Epstein. “Interested?”

Latest Epstein files knock White House on its heels​

Jeffrey Epstein is back in the news — and it couldn’t have come at a worse time for the president.

Following a brutal week for President Donald Trump during which his party took a beating at the polls, the Supreme Court seemed skeptical of his beloved tariffs and Republicans continued to feud over accusations of antisemitism, the White House had hoped to take a victory lap on ending the 43-day government shutdown.

But on Wednesday, House Democrats released documents revealing that, in the words of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Trump “knew about the girls” the late convicted sex offender was trafficking, the latest blow to a White House already reeling from a series of setbacks in recent days.

One Trump ally said that the latest Epstein discourse has taken “things that are already complicated for the president and brings them to the surface.”

‘Evil,’ ‘nuts,’ ‘dangerous’: New Epstein emails detail his soured view of former close friend Donald Trump​

For years, President Donald Trump has sought to downplay his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the financier and convicted sex offender who for years moved in the same social circles as Trump in Palm Beach and Manhattan.

Trump has alternately called Epstein a “terrific guy” — in 2002 — and later insisted he was “not a fan,” saying the two men had a falling out long before Epstein faced his most serious legal troubles.

But a new batch of emails from Epstein’s estate, released this week by the House Oversight Committee, adds fresh detail to a relationship that has long been scrutinized.

The newly released messages don’t fundamentally rewrite the known history between Trump and Epstein, but they do introduce three notable new elements:

  • Epstein’s claim that Trump “spent hours” with a trafficking and rape victim inside his home, who House Republicans on Wednesday identified as the late Virginia Giuffre — one of Epstein’s most prominent victims. Giuffre died by suicide in April. She never implicated Trump in any wrongdoing in her book or public comments. Epstein was referring to Trump in the 2011 email with his longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted of sex trafficking after Epstein’s 2019 death.
  • Epstein’s assertion that Trump “knew about the girls” - seemingly in reference to Trump’s claim that he kicked Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club for poaching young women who worked there
  • And Epstein’s blunt private assessments of Trump during his first term as President.
“I told everyone from day one. evil beyond belief, mad, ” Epstein wrote of Trump in March 2018. “he feels alone. and is nuts !!!”

Check this shit out…

Michael Wolff — the journalist who we just learned was coaching Epstein on how to gain leverage over a presidential candidate — said in an interview that Epstein was growing suspicious that Donald Trump was the one who informed on him and set the stage for when his legal troubles truly began.

Well… Epstein’s legal troubles truly began in March 2005. And Wolff was pointing to a 2004 real estate dispute over a Palm Beach mansion.

🔻 In these newly released emails, we get this line: “the dog that hasn’t barked is Trump…”

That stuck with me… and then VOILA, it clicked!

The phrase “the dog that hasn’t barked” comes from Sherlock Holmes’ story called Silver Blaze. In the story:
—— “The stable had a guard dog. On the night of the crime, the dog did not bark. Which meant — the intruder must have been someone the dog knew. Otherwise, it would’ve barked.”

So… who was redacted in that email? Virginia Giuffre. Whose name democrats redacted.

Epstein wrote he was “75% there” — meaning 75% sure it was Trump as the silent informant, with Giuffre as the likely conduit for the tip-off knowledge.

This email tells me Epstein was trying to find the leak after a British tabloid started exposing his network — and he was emailing associates to hunt down the source.

🔻 THEN, we have Attorney Bradley Edwards — who, in 2009, praised Donald Trump for being the ONLY subpoenaed person to willingly provide helpful information in the
— “Donald Trump was the only person who would pick up the phone…”
— “He gave very good information that checked out and was very helpful.”

🔻 THEN, just a few months ago, we heard Mike Johnson say Trump was an FBI informant trying to take Epstein down. Oopsie…

🔻 Epstein and Maxwell were finally arrested — under the Trump administration.

🔻 In summary…
In Epstein’s own words, the timeline, the motive, the silence, the cooperation, the arrests — everything points to one conclusion:

Donald Trump was the informant who helped take down one of the most prolific pedophile and blackmail operations in history.

A lot of people are gonna owe him an apology when this is done.






OMG, I just realized something..

The real scandal in these emails isn’t Trump and Epstein—it’s Michael Wolff, a leading journalist, COACHING a convicted sex offender on how to manipulate a presidential candidate for personal and political gain.

This is very serious actually…

Take Wolff’s books for example— Fire and Fury, Siege, Landslide — which he profited off of Trump’s presidency for millions.

Now we know that Wolff was advising Epstein during the campaign… Every explosive claim in those books is now under a cloud of conflict of interest.

Why isn’t anyone talking about this?
Why was a “journalist” coaching a pedophile??? 👀

Andrew Allegedly Planning His Escape To Another Country As US Congress Pressure Grows​

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor may be inching toward what looks like the final act in a long, messy downfall, not in a courtroom, or in prison, but seemingly on an airplane. As scrutiny around his links to Jeffrey Epstein intensifies, the disgraced royal is said to be weighing an escape that takes him far from the UK and even farther from the reach of investigators. The plan, according to well-placed insiders, involves using friendly ties in Abu Dhabi, UAE to quietly replant himself in a corner of the world where society doesn’t ask too many questions, and extradition treaties don’t work quite as briskly as they do in London or Washington.

This is the GENIUS of Trump!



🚨 HISTORIC — TRUMP JUST DROPPED THE HAMMER

If Congress forces the vote, President Trump will sign the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law.

This is the moment the corrupt political class has feared for decades.

The walls are finally closing in.
Trump is right:

“We have nothing to do with Epstein — the DEMOCRATS do.”

And every name the media protects… every flight log they buried… every “friendship” they pretended didn’t exist… is about to be dragged into the light.

This vote isn’t about politics.

It’s about exposing the most protected network of power, blackmail, and elite privilege in modern history.

Massie and Khanna forced the vote.
Trump has pledged to sign it.

Now the only question is:

Who in Congress is willing to let the world see the truth?

No more excuses.
No more delays.
Unseal everything.

America deserves the truth — every last page.
 

LIVE: Hours away from Epstein files vote, lawmakers and Epstein survivors speak out​

Hours away from Epstein files vote, lawmakers and Epstein survivors speak out.

 


🚨 BREAKING: Speaker Johnson just NUKED every Democrat who ignored the Epstein Files for 4 years 🔥🔥

"The Biden DOJ had the files for 4 years - not a SINGLE one of the people who are so loud and animated right now, they never said anything about it for all those four years!"

"None of them held press conferences. None of them demanded the release of the documents. And under Biden's DOJ, when they prosecuted just Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, not a single one of these Democrats or any of the proponents of the discharge ever made any noise about that at all."

"So it's fair for the American people to ask the question, why now? Why suddenly are they so, so interested? They have such an urgent interest in the Jeffrey Epstein matter."

"Clearly, this is a political exercise for Democrats and a few others, sadly."

"And it is as deceitful and dishonest as their pointless stunt to shut down the government."
 
So let me see if I got this straight.
Trump orders Bondi and Patel to release the Epstein files. After a bunch of fanfare they come out and claim there are no files. Trump downplays all of it. Now all of a sudden there are files again but congress has to pass a bill demanding their release? Why isn't Trump just releasing them?

My SWAG here is if Trump did release the files when requested the D's would have created some distraction to obfuscate the news cycle and change the narrative.

They've done it before. We've all seen it before. Someone dies suddenly and 'that' becomes the coverage....

It will be difficult for the media to obfuscate and hide what everyone knows is there.

If Trump is trolling them he's a master at it. Now EVERYONE knows about the files and have been demanding to see them.

It's really quite funny to witness. It's been 2 months and all I see on the web is "He's hiding something!", "He's protecting his billionaire friends!", "Trump's in the files and he's a pedo..."

It's crazy time fo sho!
 
Sorry GH, but I think you're viewing this issue with orange tinted glasses. It seems clear to me that Trump et al finally figured out how they are going to manage the release. If you think he always wanted this released, you have been very selective on what news (narratives more precisely) you've been digesting. I very strongly doubt that the Trump admin releases everything: unredacted, transparent, complete. Trump didn't need an act of Congress to have his FBI and DOJ release the files. He didn't have to fight Massie for months on this issue. He thought he could steamroll the public on this and discovered he was wrong.

 
^
I want every single name released. Don't care who they are, there station in life is, how much money they have nor where they hail from. I want their names and how they are tied to T.

Release the names.
 
He didn't have to fight Massie for months on this issue.


Whatever the reason, ya gotta admit it caused the dems to pile on in support of Massie.

Support they could not realisticly back out of
 

Trump calls for ABC’s license to be revoked after reporter asks about Jeffrey Epstein files​

  • President Donald Trump called for ABC’s broadcast license to be revoked after ABC News White House correspondent Mary Bruce asked why he has not released the Jeffrey Epstein files.
  • “Your news is so fake and so wrong,” Trump told Bruce in the Oval Office as he met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia.
  • FCC chair Brendan Carr previously threatened ABC’s license over comments by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday called for ABC’s broadcast license to be revoked as he angrily lashed out at a reporter from the network who asked why he has not released files on notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, his former friend.

“I think you are a terrible reporter,” Trump told ABC News White House correspondent Mary Bruce.

Btw, which pdf file voted nay?

Grok:

Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) was the only member of the U.S. House of Representatives to vote "nay" on H.R. 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which passed 427-1 on November 18, 2025. The bill requires the Justice Department to release all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell within 30 days, with protections for victims' identities.

Higgins opposed the bill because he believed it would violate criminal justice procedures by publicly exposing witnesses, alibis, family members, and others not implicated in wrongdoing, potentially harming innocent people through media scrutiny. He supported the House Oversight Committee's ongoing, selective release of over 60,000 pages and said he'd back a Senate-amended version with stronger privacy safeguards.

No Senate vote occurred today; the bill now heads there, where it needs 60 votes to advance amid Republican control and pressure for quick action. Two Republicans and three Democrats missed the House vote

.This near-unanimous passage followed months of delays and President Trump's reversal in support, after initial GOP resistance due to concerns over political fallout and victim privacy.

Rep. Clay Higgins' Full Statement on His "Nay" Vote for H.R. 4405

Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) issued the following statement on X (formerly Twitter) shortly after the House vote on November 18, 2025, explaining his opposition to the Epstein Files Transparency Act:

“I have been a principled “NO” on this bill from the beginning. What was wrong with the bill three months ago is still wrong today. It abandons 250 years of criminal justice procedure in America. As written, this bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people – witnesses, people who provided alibis, family members, etc. If enacted in its current form, this type of broad reveal of criminal investigative files, released to a rabid media, will absolutely result in innocent people being hurt. Not by my vote.”

In additional context from his remarks, Higgins emphasized support for the House Oversight Committee's selective release of over 60,000 pages of documents, stating he would back a Senate-amended version with enhanced privacy protections for victims and uninvolved individuals.
 
Trump to female reporter who asked him about the Epstein files: ‘Quiet, Piggy’

President Donald Trump dismissed a female reporter who was questioning him about the Epstein files, calling her “Piggy” as she pressed him on his past relationship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

During a press gaggle on Air Force One on Friday, the reporter asked the president about one of the emails Epstein wrote about Trump that Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released last week. When she tried to follow up with a question about potentially incriminating details in the Epstein files, Trump pointed and said, “Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.”
