Former biographer reveals Trump lawsuit threat — says he would grill president under oath

Former Trump biographer Michael Wolff is not sweating the president's potential lawsuit against him, arguing during a recent podcast episode that the president would be too afraid of the questions he would get asked about Jeffrey Epstein while under oath.

Wolff is a veteran reporter and author best known for Fire & Fury, a 2018 book detailing the chaotic behind-the-scenes drama of the first Trump administration. Over the weekend, Trump accused Wolff of conspiring against him with Epstein, the deceased sex trafficker with whom Trump maintained a years-long friendship, telling reporters on Saturday that the writer had wanted "to do harm to me politically or else."

"So we’ll probably sue Wolff on that," Trump said.

The president later doubled down on the threat of a lawsuit in a Truth Social post from Monday.

“Epstein and a SLEAZEBAG lying ‘author’ named Michael Wolff, conspired in order to damage me and/or my Presidency,” the post read. "So much for the Radical Left’s hope against hope, some of whom I’ll be suing.”

During the latest episode of his Daily Beast podcast, "Inside Trump's Head," Wolff dismissed the president's latest threat against, saying the likelihood of him actually being sued was "remote," as Trump would want to avoid going through the discovery process, arguing that "he obviously has so much to hide."

"What is he going to do?" Wolff asked. "Is he going to sit for a deposition? Is he going to answer all of the questions that then I would have the right to ask him about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein?”

Wolff went further, detailing the sort of questions he would ask Trump during such a legal fight, including questions about his travel history with Epstein, as well as the claim from the most recent trove of documents that the sex trafficker introduced him to his current wife, First Lady Melania Trump.

"In the release of these documents by the federal government, there is a document here that says Jeffrey Epstein introduced you to your wife," Wolff said, describing the sort of question he would ask. "Do you want to discuss that, Mr. Trump?"

Wolff also said that Trump has threatened to sue him numerous times over the last decade without following through. Co-host Joanna Coles suggested that Trump views the mere process of initiating a lawsuit to be a punishment for his enemies, even if they do not pan out for him.

“Yes,” Wolff said. "Although for me it would not be irritation.”
