Trump's Urging For Epstein Distraction Will Lead To Shocker At Putin Summit: Michael Wolff
HuffPost
Trump has told allies he needs a "big thing" to move on from Epstein scandal and this could be it, the author of several books about Trump said.
The MAGA agita over Donald Trump’s about-face on the Jeffrey Epstein files has driven the president to make ceaseless phone calls to allies saying he needs a “big thing” to divert attention from Epstein, author Michael Wolff said this week. (Watch the video below.)
Trump thinks he may have found his escape at the summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, added Wolff, who has written several books about the president.
“Let me go back about a week or so, or 10 days, when Trump started to say to everyone who would listen—and everyone listens to Donald Trump — to staffers and on the phone calls, the relentless phone calls that he’s constantly making, he said, ‘I need a big thing. I need a big thing,’ ” Wolff said on the Daily Beast’s new podcast, “Inside Trump’s Head.” (11:51)
”What’s the ‘big thing?’” Wolff asked rhetorically. “And everyone understood that this was code for I need a distraction from Epstein. What’s the thing that will move us beyond that?”
Deploying troops to Los Angeles and Washington D.C. apparently hasn’t worked in that regard, and the possibility of zeroing in on progressive mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani didn’t gain traction either, said Wolff.
