Democrats Cherry-Pick Documents to Attack Trump
House Democrats on the Oversight Committee released two email exchanges between journalist Michael Wolff and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein from a massive batch of over 23,000 documents obtained from Epstein’s estate. The selective release occurred in January 2026, with Democrats choosing specific emails from 2015 and 2019 that discussed President Trump. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt exposed the maneuver as “selectively leaked emails to the liberal media to create a fake narrative.”
Wolff Admits Collaboration With Convicted Criminal
Michael Wolff openly acknowledged using Epstein as a source while researching his 2018 anti-Trump book “Fire and Fury,” stating Epstein “proved to be an enormously valuable source.” More disturbing, Wolff admitted he was “pushing Epstein at that point to go public with what he knew about Trump,” hoping to uncover information he believed would be “disqualifying” for the President. This reveals a troubling journalistic approach where Wolff actively collaborated with a convicted sex offender to damage a sitting president’s political career.
Legal Battle Exposes Wolff’s Defensive Strategy
Trump’s lawyers threatened Wolff with a $1 billion lawsuit over defamatory statements made about the Trump family based on his Epstein interviews. Rather than defend his claims, Wolff filed a preemptive lawsuit against Melania Trump, attempting to shift the legal battleground to his advantage. Melania Trump’s spokesperson responded that the First Lady “is proud to continue standing up to those who spread malicious and defamatory falsehoods as they desperately try to get undeserved attention and money from their unlawful conduct.” Her legal team has filed motions for dismissal or venue change, signaling confidence in exposing Wolff’s baseless accusations.

Trump Expelled Epstein From Mar-a-Lago Years Ago
The White House clarified that Trump kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago “because he thought Jeffrey was a creep to his female employees,” directly contradicting Wolff’s narrative. This protective action demonstrates Trump’s recognition of Epstein’s predatory behavior long before mainstream media attention. Wolff claims Epstein told him he was never a Mar-a-Lago member and their falling out stemmed from a real estate deal, but this contradicts documented evidence of Trump’s decisive action to remove a dangerous predator from his property.
The legal battle continues as Melania Trump’s team pursues dismissal of Wolff’s lawsuit, confident that truth will prevail over politically motivated smears designed to distract from President Trump’s successful policy agenda and his previous actions protecting people from Epstein’s predatory behavior.
