President Announces to Sue Disgraced Michael Wolff After Explosive Epstein Files Reveal Alleged Plot to Smear Him

President Donald Trump announced Saturday that he will sue left-wing author Michael Wolff after newly released Epstein files revealed what Trump says was a coordinated effort to politically sabotage him.

The announcement came after the U.S. Department of Justice dumped millions of pages of newly unsealed Epstein-related records into the public domain, documents the corporate media spent years hyping as a supposed smoking gun against Trump.

The latest disclosure from the U.S. Department of Justice includes more than three million documents, pursuant to House Resolution 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

In a February 1, 2019 email, Epstein forwarded material to Wolff that explicitly states Trump “never got a massage” during visits to Epstein’s home, a claim Epstein attributed to testimony from his own house manager, John Alessi.

Speaking to reporters while flying to Florida, Trump addressed the explosive release for the first time, saying he had been briefed by “very important people” on what the files actually show.

Trump: “It looked like this guy, Wolff, who was a writer, was conspiring with Epstein to do harm to me. 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, the radical left—that Wolff, who was a third-rate writer, was conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein, politically or otherwise. And that came through loud and clear. So we’ll probably sue Wolff on that.”

Former US ambassador Peter Mandelson pictured in the Epstein Files standing in his underpants in paedophile financier’s home

An extraordinary photograph emerged of what appears to be Peter Mandelson standing in his underpants in one of the homes of paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

The photograph, which has been released as part of the Epstein files, apparently shows Lord Mandelson, the UK’s former ambassador to the US, talking to a woman who is wearing a white bath robe.

A source close to Lord Mandelson said that the peer had no recollection of the photograph being taken and had no idea where it was taken or who had taken it.

Wearing a dark t-shirt and white Y-fronts, Lord Mandelson – who was fired as UK ambassador US last September when the depth of his links Epstein became public – appears to casually chat to the young woman.

The former Labour Cabinet minister points to a computer tablet inside what appears to be a room inside Epstein’s New York mansion.

New emails released on Friday as part of three million documents related to the child sex offender show Epstein sent £10,000 to Mandelson’s Brazilian husband Reinaldo Avila da Silva to pay for an osteopathy course.

Da Silva emailed Epstein on September 7, 2009 – two months after the paedophile was released from prison after serving 12 months of an 18-month sentence on child sex offences – and asked for money.

At the time, Mandelson was business secretary and in a relationship with Da Silva. The pair married in 2023.

Elon Musk claims his emails with Jeffrey Epstein have been ‘misinterpreted’ and that he did NOT go to his island

Elon Musk claimed that his emails with dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein have been ‘misinterpreted’ as he insisted that he did not go to his island.

The world’s richest man said Saturday on X that he had declined, ‘repeated invitations’ from Epstein to visit him in the Caribbean or fly on his famed ‘Lolita Express’ private plane.

Musk added that he was, ‘well aware that some email correspondence with him could be misinterpreted and used by detractors to smear my name’.

‘I don’t care about that, but what I do care about is that we at least attempt to prosecute those who committed serious crimes with Epstein,’ Musk said.

In particular he called for those who committed, ‘heinous exploitation of underage girls’ to be brought to justice.

Government files appeared to show that the Tesla leader emailed Epstein about what day would be suitable to visit the financier’s island for a soiree.

‘What day/night will be the wildest party on =our (sic) island?’ Musk emailed Epstein on November 25, 2012, per Department of Justice documents released on Friday.

Musk also said the latest release of the Epstein files was ‘nothing but a distraction’.

The Tesla leader added that justice would only arrive when arrests are made in connection to the convicted sex offender’s crimes.

‘What matters is not release [sic] of some subset of the Epstein files, but rather the prosecution of those who committed heinous crimes with Epstein,’ Musk wrote on X.

Musk also called for Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s ‘clients’ to be detained.

‘Until we see at least one client arrest, this partial release of Epstein files means nothing,’ he said.

The date of Musk’s email came after Epstein had been convicted of sex crimes against minors in Florida. 

Epstein pleaded guilty to procuring a child for prostitution in 2008.

Latest Epstein Release Catches Goldman’s Top Lawyer In Massive Lie

Earlier this month the Wall Street Journal reported that there was an internal debate at Goldman Sachs over whether to get rid of General Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler over her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Ruemmler, a former White House attorney for Obama, told Goldman execs when they hired her in April 2020 that the relationship was purely professional – yet it would later become public that she not only met with Epstein dozens of times and exchanged friendly emails for years, she was listed as an executor of Epstein’s will as recently as Jan. 18, 2019 – which had been removed before he died in prison on Aug. 10 of that year.

She also denied having ever helped Epstein with PR, telling the outlet “I did not advocate on his behalf to any third party—not to a court, not to the press, not to the government.”

Turns out that was a total lie. 

On Friday, the DOJ released over 3 million pages of Epstein documents, including one in which Ruemmler was helping draft statements to help Epstein counter claims that he got a “sweetheart deal” when he was allowed to plead guilty to minor charges in a 2007-2008 sex trafficking case involving dozens of underage girls.

NYC’s socialist mayor dragged into Epstein scandal as files claim his MOTHER spent evening at Ghislaine Maxwell’s house

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s film director mother was mentioned in the newly released tranche of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

The Department of Justice published at least three million new files from its investigation into the disgraced financer’s sex crimes on Friday.

Mamdani’s mother, Mira Nair, was included in a 2009 email from publicist Peggy Siegal to the convicted pedophile.

Siegal told Epstein she attended a star-studded party at convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell‘s home.

‘Just left Ghislaine’s townhouse…after party for film. Bill Clinton and Jeff Bezos were there…Jean Pigoni, director Mira Nair….etc,’ Siegal wrote.

The details in the email suggest it was a party for Nair’s 2009 adventure-romance film Amelia, starring Hilary Swank and Richard Gere.

‘Film received tepid reaction although women like it much more…Hillary Swank and Gere at stupid party in Bloomingdales cheap sportwear department….very weird,’ Siegal wrote.

She signed off the email with, ‘Studio went for free party from store and windows for a month…. Going to be in Wall Street 2 tomorrow ….more to come. xoxo Peg.’ 

Being named or pictured in the files is not necessarily an indication of wrongdoing. Daily Mail contacted the Mayor’s office for comment.

The latest Epstein files dropped included bombshell claims that Bill Gates caught a sexually transmitted disease from ‘Russian girls’, then suggested secretly slipping his then-wife, Melinda, antibiotics.

Epstein made the astonishing claims about the Microsoft billionaire in emails he sent to himself on July 18, 2013.

The lengthy message lashed out at Gates for ending their friendship and says: ‘TO add insult to the injury you them (sic) implore me to please delete the emails regarding your std, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda and the description of your penis.’

Earlier in the same missive, Epstein said he had been ‘dismayed beyond comprehension’ by Gates’s decision to ‘disregard our friendship developed over the last 6 years’.

The shocking emails appear to be drafts of a letter intended to be sent by Gates’s then-top advisor, Boris Nikolic, around the time of his resignation from the Microsoft billionaire’s charitable foundation.

The shocking claims about the Microsoft founder have not been verified, and Gates has angrily denied them in a rare statement to the Daily Mail.

His spokesperson said: ‘These claims are absolutely absurd and completely false.

‘The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein’s frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame.’

Jeffrey Epstein says Bill Gates caught sexually transmitted disease from ‘Russian girls’… then suggested secretly slipping Melinda antibiotics, new emails in DOJ release claim

Bill Gates slept with Russian girls, got a sexually-transmitted disease and asked for antibiotics to slip to his then-wife Melinda, extraordinary new Jeffrey Epstein files from the Department of Justice allege. 

The late pedophile financier made the astonishing claims about the Microsoft billionaire in emails he sent to himself on July 18, 2013.

The lengthy message lashed out at Gates for ending their friendship and says: ‘TO add insult to the injury you them (sic) implore me to please delete the emails regarding your std, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda and the description of your penis.’

Earlier in the same missive, Epstein said he had been ‘dismayed beyond comprehension’ by Gates’s decision to ‘disregard our friendship developed over the last 6 years.’ 

The shocking emails appear to be drafts of a letter intended to be sent by Gates’ then-top advisor Boris Nikolic, around his resignation from the Microsoft billionaire’s charitable foundation. 

Appearing to write from the point of view of Nikolic, another email on the same morning offered his resignation from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

He wrote: ‘I have been caught up in a severe marital dispute between Melinda and Bill…

‘In my role as his right hand man I have been asked and wrongly acquiesced into participating in things that have ranged from the morally inappropriate, to the ethically unsound and have been repeatedly asked to do thing (sic) that get near and potentially over the line into the illegal…

‘From helping Bill to get drugs, in order to deal with consequences of sex with russian girls, to facilitating his illicit trusts, with married women, to being asked to provide adderall fro (sic) bridge touramnts (sic), as I am a medial doctor, but have no presriptions (sic) writing ability. 

The shocking claims about the Microsoft founder have not been verified and come from a new tranche of hundreds of thousands of documents released by the Department of Justice on Friday morning.

Gates has angrily denied allegations in a rare statement to the Daily Mail. His spokesperson said: ‘These claims are absolutely absurd and completely false.

‘The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein’s frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame.’

MILLIONS of explosive new Epstein files dumped by DoJ in shock release

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced on Friday morning that the Department of Justice had released at least three million new Epstein files to the public.

Hundreds of thousands of Epstein-related documents had already been made public by the House Committee on Oversight in late 2025, including sickening images showing Epstein surrounded by young-looking women.

The files, released following Epstein’s death in 2019, contain disturbing photographs of women’s bodies, harrowing notes, and references to famous figures including former President Bill Clinton and Michael Jackson.

Previous document dumps have sparked fierce backlash after large swathes of material were heavily redacted by the Justice Department. Officials said the caveats were necessary to protect victims’ privacy, national security, and other sensitive interests.

Epstein’s longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell has since claimed that 29 of Epstein’s associates were shielded through ‘secret settlements’ with the Justice Department. The allegation was made in a habeas corpus petition she filed on December 17 seeking to overturn her conviction.

Key Epstein files dates:

Ghislaine Maxwell Drops New Epstein Allegations—and They’re a Doozy

Longtime Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell has revealed that more than two dozen men received cushy plea deals with the government.

In a habeas petition filed Tuesday aimed at preemptively ending her prison sentence, Maxwell alleged that 29 friends of the notorious sex trafficker had been “protected” by the Justice Department by way of “secret settlements.”

Those settlements went to “25 men” and four potential “co-conspirators,” reported The Daily Beast. The petition has prompted questions regarding the identities of the cloaked individuals—and why the DOJ would offer them protection.

Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act on November 19 to force the executive branch to release the files in their entirety. The bill stipulated that the Justice Department had 30 days to comply, but that deadline has since disappeared in the rearview. It is now late January, and less than one percent of the files has been made publicly available.

In a Tuesday court filing, the DOJ offered vague placations that it expects to process the trove, which includes two million documents, “in the near term.” Officials did not provide a specific date for the full release, as required by law.

Employees at the Justice Department are reportedly manually reviewing the pages to find and redact the names of victims and, presumably, censor mentions of protected individuals.

So far, the DOJ has released roughly 12,285 documents related to the Epstein files, totalling 125,575 pages.

Earlier this month, Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie called for a special master or independent counsel to hold the DOJ to a timeline as it drags its feet on the cache.

Ghislaine Maxwell to testify before US Congress in Epstein probe

Ghislaine Maxwell, the jailed associate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has agreed to testify under oath before the congressional committee investigating the federal government’s handling of the Epstein cases.

Committee chairman James Comer, who is leading the investigation, says Maxwell will depose virtually on 9 February.

Maxwell’s legal team has previously said she would decline to answer questions under her constitutional right to remain silent unless she is granted legal immunity.

Comer, previewing the deposition, said, “her lawyers have been saying she is going to plead the Fifth,” referring to the US Fifth Amendment right to decline to speak to authorities.

The announcement from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee comes as the Trump administration continues to come under fierce scrutiny for its handling of the Epstein case.

Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for recruiting and trafficking teenage girls for sexual abuse by Epstein.

In July, the committee declined to offer Maxwell legal immunity in exchange for her testimony.

In August, the committee issued legal summons to Maxwell, requiring her to submit evidence under oath.

Maxwell’s legal team said that requiring her to both testify from jail, and without any legal immunity, were “non-starters”.

The lawyers said she “cannot risk further criminal exposure in a politically charged environment without formal immunity” as speaking from prison “creates real security risks and undermines the integrity of the process”.

House lawmakers cannot force Maxwell to waive her Fifth Amendment protections.

On Tuesday, Maxwell’s legal team said in a letter to the committee that she would continue to refuse to testify.

“Put plainly, proceeding under these circumstances would serve no other purpose than pure political theater and a complete waste of taxpayer monies,” the attorneys wrote. “The Committee would obtain no testimony, no answers, and no new facts.”

Maxwell, who was convicted in 2021, had appealed against the conviction to the Supreme Court last October but the top court declined to hear the former British socialite’s appeal.

Her only route to leave prison early would be a presidential pardon, unless she is able to persuade a federal judge in New York to vacate or amend her sentence. The White House has denied that Trump is considering granting her clemency, however, Trump has also said he has not ruled it out.

Separately, the Department of Justice faced a deadline of 19 December last year to release all remaining Epstein files in their possession. So far only a fraction of them have been made public.

The department has faced criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle over the number of redactions in the files, which the law permits only to protect victims’ identities and active criminal investigations.

Meanwhile, the House committee is also meeting to discuss former President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton’s refusal to appear before the panel to answer questions related to the investigation into Epstein.

The committee has said it is considering filing contempt charges against the two.

‘No longer in my hands’: How Hill Republicans stopped caring about DOJ releasing the Epstein files

One month after the congressionally mandated deadline to release all its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the Justice Department has made only a fraction of the files public — and it remains silent on its plans to fully comply with the law.

Also keeping quiet about the DOJ delays are congressional Republicans, almost all of whom voted in November to release the records after spending months heeding President Donald Trump’s opposition to the move.

Some of them are openly admitting it’s no longer a priority.

“I don’t give a rip about Epstein,” Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) said last week when she was asked to take stock of the month since the Dec. 19 deadline.

“Like, there’s so many other things we need to be working on,” she added. “I’ve done what I had to do for Epstein. Talk to somebody else about that. It’s no longer in my hands.”

Boebert was one of four House Republicans, alongside Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Nancy Mace of South Carolina, who joined with Democrats to force a House floor vote on the Epstein legislation when leadership resisted moving it.

The White House lobbied these lawmakers heavily to take their names off the discharge petition to compel the bill’s consideration, with administration officials at one point summoning Boebert to the Situation Room for a final plea.

Now Washington’s attention has since shifted to other political firestorms, from Trump’s military action in Venezuela to the shooting of a U.S. citizen by an ICE agent in Minnesota, and congressional Republicans are eager to move on — underscoring the extent to which the GOP remains wary of crossing swords with the president.

The public falling out between Greene and Trump was largely over Greene’s support for releasing the Epstein files — Trump called her a “traitor” — and ultimately culminated in Greene’s resignation from the House earlier this month. Trump vetoed a bill that would have supported a water infrastructure project in Boebert’s district, and administration officials privately warned Mace that her defiance would likely to cost her the president’s endorsement in the South Carolina governor’s race.

Mace has vowed on social media to “keep fighting” for justice for Epstein’s victims but has not otherwise continued the drumbeat against the Justice Department.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), who has worked with Democrats on a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee investigation into the Epstein case, said in a recent interview she’s now more more focused on holding Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress for not honoring the panel’s subpoena to testify about Epstein.
