US elections: previously unreleased recordings reveal links between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein

In the run-up to the November 5 presidential election, Michael Wolff, an author renowned for his books on Donald Trump, reveals previously unpublished recordings in his podcast *Fire and Fury*. These archives detail the long-standing relationship between the former president and controversial financier Jeffrey Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 and is accused of multiple sexual assaults. Wolff, who claims to have “100 hours” of conversations with Epstein recorded in 2017, says these exchanges were originally intended for a biography of the financier.

Trump and Epstein: a long-standing relationship revealed in recordings

In these recordings, Epstein talks about his “deep and long-standing relationship” with Donald Trump, as well as his behind-the-scenes knowledge of the White House. The two men, who frequented the same elite circles in New York in the 1980s, were in regular contact.

Manipulations and rivalries within the Trump team

The recordings also reveal how Trump maintained tensions among his aides, manipulating his closest advisors to maintain control. According to Wolff, the former president regularly pitted members of his team against each other, openly criticizing the likes of Steve Bannon, Reince Priebus and Kellyanne Conway.

In another landmark revelation, Michael Wolff claims that Epstein showed him photos of Trump with “young topless women” taken in the 1990s at his Palm Beach residence. Wolff believes these images were seized by the FBI during raids in 2019, shortly before Epstein’s death.

The existence of links between Trump and Epstein has been raised several times, particularly after the recent accusations by Stacey Williams, a former model, who accuses Trump of assaulting her in 1993. According to her, it was Epstein who introduced them.

In response to these revelations, former Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt denounced Michael Wolff’s claims, calling the author a “liar” and accusing the publication of seeking to interfere with the election in favor of Kamala Harris. Wolff, for his part, explains that his intention is to explore the rise of two men who stopped at nothing in their quest for power and domination. If one found the White House, the other ended his days in a cell.
