The author Michael Wolff speculated about what was in the files relating to the Jeffrey Epstein case in a podcast aired just hours before emails he sent to the disgraced financier mentioning Donald Trump were made public.
Meanwhile, in a CNN interview this week, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson said calls to release the documents were a “moot point” because of the investigation into the Epstein files by the House Oversight Committee. Both Wolff and Johnson’s comments came just days and hours before the emails featuring Wolff, Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein were released by minority Democrats on the Oversight Committee.
