Epstein had photos of Donald Trump with topless young women, claims Wolff
The author of Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House says Jeffrey Epstein had the revealing images of the presidential candidate.
Michael Wolff, author of ‘Fire & Fury: Inside the Trump White House’, claims that Jeffrey Epstein possessed compromising photos of Donald Trump with topless young women, taken in the late ‘90s at Epstein’s Palm Beach home. Wolff made the allegations on his Fire and Fury podcast, describing images of Trump by the pool with multiple young women, some sitting on his lap, and even referred to an embarrassing stain on Trump’s pants in one picture. According to Wolff, the photos were stored in a safe seized by the FBI in a 2019 raid, yet they have not been publicly disclosed, despite prosecutors reporting they had hundreds of photos of young women and girls.
Trump campaign condemns Wolff claims
Trump’s campaign swiftly condemned Wolff’s statements, labeling the author as “disgraced” and accusing him of fabricating lies for attention and profit. A Trump spokesperson claimed Wolff’s comments were timed to influence the upcoming election, calling it an act of “blatant election interference on behalf of Kamala Harris.” Trump’s camp has previously denied any ongoing association with Epstein after learning of allegations against him, pointing to Trump’s past comment, “I was not a fan of Jeffrey Epstein.”
Epstein and Trump
During the podcast, Wolff recalled Epstein’s personal fear of Trump, suggesting that Epstein, even while living freely in New York and Florida in 2017, viewed Trump as a figure without scruples who could do anything. Wolff described Epstein as unusually wary of Trump, believing he was capable of extreme actions.
Wolff, known for his polarizing journalistic style, previously sparked controversy with Fire & Fury, which delved into Trump’s presidency. His recent claims add to the speculation surrounding Epstein’s ties to powerful figures and the mystery surrounding Epstein’s death in federal custody, which Wolff also questioned, hinting at skepticism over Epstein’s official cause of death.
