Biographer claims Epstein feared Trump would silence him

Michael Wolff, a biographer with access to insider sources, wrote that Jeffrey Epstein confided his fear that Donald Trump might order his killing to conceal their long-standing ties. According to Wolff, the two were close friends until a falling out in 2004 over a real-estate venture, after which Epstein grew increasingly anxious, especially during the 2016 campaign. Wolff says he tried to persuade Epstein to go public with photographs showing Trump with women present at Epstein’s mansion.

Epstein, who faced multiple charges related to the sexual abuse of minors, was discovered dead in his prison cell in 2019, officially ruled a suicide. The article highlights past public footage of the duo partying together, which Trump later downplayed, while flight logs continue to suggest extensive overlap in their social circles.
