Email Chain Between Jeffrey Epstein and Michael Wolff Regarding Dershowitz Allegations and Media Strategy (File 022829)
Email correspondence from January 2015 between Jeffrey Epstein and journalist Michael Wolff discussing media strategy for responding to allegations against Alan Dershowitz and Prince Andrew, questioning the credibility of accuser testimony regarding Clinton.
Summary
In this January 2015 email exchange, Epstein and Wolff discuss a potential news story about how allegations against Dershowitz and Andrew originated from unverified civil court documents, were amplified by UK tabloids due to different libel laws, and were then reported as fact in U.S. media. Wolff indicates he has drafted a column for USA Today explaining this alleged cycle of misinformation. The emails also contain Epstein's claims that an accuser's testimony about Clinton dining on the island is fabricated, asserting Clinton was never present at the location. Wolff explores options for publishing the story through various outlets including the Times, WSJ, Politico, or New York Magazine.

Btw, I've just filed a column for USA Today for Mondayexplaining how Dershowitz and Andrew allegations were picked up from unverified civil court docs,transferred to UK tabs, which go wild because of no libel rules on U.S. court papers, and then translated backhere as "reported fact." Problem with story is that tabs are too invested in present story line, andunlikely that the Times or WSJ will want to touch it--tho, depending on who is willing to on record, theymight. There is another politico reporter I know who might do it, again, if the on-the-record sources arepublic people. Or, I will use it for New York Magazine, but that won't be until Feb. Can you still talktomorrow? When works?
