Trump says he is ‘certainly’ going to sue Wolff for ‘conspiring’ with Epstein to harm him

Former President Donald Trump revealed that he is considering legal action against journalist and author Michael Wolff, alleging that Wolff colluded with the late Jeffrey Epstein to damage his political standing.Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Saturday night, Trump blasted Wolff, calling him a “third‑rate writer,” and said recent documents linked to Epstein show a purported effort by Wolff and Jeffrey Epstein to “do harm” to him. 
Trump claimed the materials, part of a new tranche of files released in connection with the Epstein investigation, actually vindicate him.
“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, you know, the radical left,” Trump said. “We’ll probably sue Wolff on it. And maybe the Epstein estate I guess, I don’t know, but we’re certainly going to sue him.”
Trump alleged that Epstein “was conspiring with Wolff to do harm to me politically” and “that’s not a friend.”
The remarks come amid the latest release of millions of pages from the Department of Justice’s long‑running Epstein files, which have drawn attention for references to Trump and others and resurfaced previously unpublished communications. 
Emails between Wolff and Epstein made public mentioned Trump’s public image while running for president, though Wolff has not acknowledged wrongdoing. 
“I hear CNN planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you — either on air or in scrum afterwards,” Wolff wrote in an email to Epstein in December 2015. 
“I think you should let him hang himself,” he added in a separate message.
“If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt,” he also wrote.
