Michael Wolff → Jeffrey Epstein
Event Description
Wolff asks if Clinton is willing to publicly state he was not at the alleged event and proposes arranging on-the-record sources to counter the allegations. Wolff indicates he has filed a column for USA Today explaining how allegations originated from unverified civil court documents. Wolff discusses potential publication venues (Times, WSJ, Politico, or New York Magazine in February) contingent on availability of public on-the-record sources. Wolff proposes a phone call with Epstein and provides a time frame.

Or, I will use it for New York Magazine, but that won't be until Feb. Can you still talk tomorrow?”

High confidence that this is editorial/legal strategy, not trafficking facilitation.
