Importance: High Yup On Wednesday, 20 January 2016, Michael Wolff_______________________________wrote: ABC doesn't really have an "investigative unit" so unless you want to hand it to them they won't pursue, so ignore. But, nevertheless, the more Trump looks real, or perish the thought, inevitable, the more reporters are going to focus on this, so, as you will not be surprised, you need a strategy.

We are gathering background research on the major candidates for President. Seeing that both former President Clinton and Mr. Trump have been mentioned in connection to the Jeffrey Epstein case, I am interested in better understanding the case, it's current status, and any information that could help explain Mr. Epstein's dealings and interactions with both men. I would very much appreciate the chance to meet and discuss this subject in an off the record conversation at your earliest convenience. Please let me know if that would be possible, and if so, when and where we could meet.
