Event Description

Epstein provides detailed editorial guidance to journalist Michael Wolff on manuscript pages, directing him to clarify that young women at Epstein's house and plane are 'comely but clearly not underage' and to remove or reframe language suggesting multiple accusers, underage victims, or criminal conduct. Epstein instructs Wolff to avoid characterizing allegations as 'sex slave ring' (plural), to preface allegations with 'according to court papers' rather than direct attribution, to limit denials to Clinton and Gore only, and to remove language suggesting lack of remorse.
