Author and journalist Michael Wolff has made a new series of claims surrounding the relationship between former President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, including what he described as their competitive playboy lifestyles, allegations about a real estate deal in Florida, and a claim that embarrassing photographs of Trump were found in Epstein's safe.
Wolff, who has written a number of books about Trump, discussed the friendship between the Republican candidate and the late convicted sex offender on his Fire and Fury podcast. The episode was released on Thursday, just five days before the election.
Below, Newsweek has compiled five key moments from Wolff's podcast. Newsweek has not independently verified these claims and has contacted Trump's team for comment via email on Friday outside of business hours. This article will be updated if a response is received. Wolff did not speculate that Trump was involved in the sex trafficking, and other crimes, committed by the billionaire financier for years, but he did say that the former president would have been aware of "girls" being at Epstein's home.
