December 2015 email exchange between Michael Wolff and Jeffrey Epstein regarding media strategy for Trump's potential response to questions about his relationship with Epstein, discussing public relations options and political leverage.
Summary
Michael Wolff emails Jeffrey Epstein on December 15-16, 2015 to inform him that CNN is planning to ask Trump about his relationship with Epstein, either on air or in a scrum. Wolff advises Epstein on crafting Trump's response, recommending a strategy where Trump could either distance himself from Epstein to generate political benefit, or publicly defend Epstein to create a political debt. Wolff speculates that Trump might praise Epstein as a victim of political correctness, consistent with Trump's anticipated policy positions.

You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positivebenefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt. Of course, it ispossible that, when asked, he'll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of politicalcorrectness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.On Tue, Dec 15, 2015 at 11:52 PM, jeffrey E. <jeevacation@gmail.com> wrote:if we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?On Tue, Dec 15, 2015 at 8:00 PM, Michael Wolff _wrote:I hear CNN planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you--either on air or in scrumafterwards.please noteThe information contained in this communication isconfidential, may be attorney-client privileged, mayconstitute inside information, and is intended only forthe use of the addressee.
