Why Melania Trump Needs to Start Worrying About Me: Wolff
Trump biographer says she has important questions to answer.
Melania Trump does not believe she will have to sit through a deposition conducted by my lawyers and answer questions about Jeffrey Epstein. Her lawyers, to the extent that they discuss anything with her, have undoubtedly assured her of that: It won’t happen, because, well, it can’t happen.

My lawsuit—in response to their threat of a lawsuit to keep me from talking about the first lady’s relationship with Epstein—hardly even rises to an inconvenience.
