From: Michael Wolff Sent: 2/15/2017 1:16:03 PM To: Jeffrey Epstein [jeevacation@gmail.com] Subject: A few favors... Importance: — High So...I'm doing this Trump book for a pile of money and with so far quite a bit of cooperation from them (DT called me the other day and spent 45 minutes on the phone ranting and raving about the media--alarming). I wonder if you could introduce me to Tom Barrack--just to say I'm a journalist who you know and trust, and that I'll follow up with a description of the project that I'm doing. Also, I'd love a reintroduction to Kathy Ruemmler. I need some off-the-record perspective on White House procedures. Are you in NYC soon?
