Oliver Darcy, I'm gonna bring you in. Thank you for joining us. How are you doing this morning? Is it too loud for you? No, it's, you know, you can't stop progress, as you said. Oliver, let's talk about what's happening
with Melania Trump, with Michael Wolff, with Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump. So Michael Wolff has been at the center of this story, also at the center of controversy, and now Hunter Biden and Melania Trump have been pulled in. So I'm going to let Michael Wolff explain to you. After Michael Wolff made some comments about Melania Trump and how they met, and apparently there was a Jeffrey Epstein connection, Hunter Biden repeated it on a podcast, and then... He got a letter, basically a cease and desist. But here is Michael Wolff explaining and then Oliver and I will talk.
Hunter Biden has received the latest letter from Melania Trump or her lawyers or her husband's lawyers threatening a $1 billion lawsuit for linking her with Jeffrey Epstein. This follows letters, similar letters to the Daily Beast and to James Carville. This is in part based on remarks that I made about Donald Trump and Melania Trump and Jeffrey Epstein knowing each other. And that is patently true. There are many examples.
She met Donald Trump. That was a party hosted by a modeling agent by the name of Apollo Zampolli, who was known by Trump and by Epstein.
