Michael Wolff → Jeffrey Epstein
Event Description
Michael Wolff provides strategic advice to Jeffrey Epstein regarding a forthcoming James Patterson book scheduled for August publication. Wolff recommends that Epstein pursue a public counter-narrative strategy involving an op-ed, high-profile television interview (specifically suggesting Charlie Rose), and social media efforts. Wolff also advises developing a comprehensive strategic plan involving public identity, philanthropic activities, and media allies. He frames becoming 'an anti-Trump voice' as providing 'political cover' while allowing Epstein to 'frame your own story.'
Quoted Evidence
“you do need an immediate counter narrative to the book. I believe Trump offers an ideal opportunity...becoming an anti-Trump voice gives you a certain political cover which you decidedly don't have now...you writing an op-ed, doing a high profile television interview (Charlie Rose, I'd say), and perhaps some social media efforts.”
