Tara Palmeri sits down with reporter Ellie Leonard to expose how journalist Michael Wolff spent two decades as Jeffrey Epstein's fixer — and is now trying to cash in on the 100 hours of tapes he recorded with him. Ellie went through 1,830 emails between Wolff and Epstein and found a paper trail that goes far beyond journalism: Wolff helped Epstein build a PR team (the same one that worked with Harvey Weinstein), drafted public statements to discredit survivors, killed a New York magazine article because Epstein didn't want his sex offender status mentioned, signed an NDA to get advance copies of books about Epstein and passed the information back to him, tried to get ahead of James Patterson's "Filthy Rich," suggested Epstein pay off his doorman for leaking about girls coming in and out, and offered to trade off-the-record White House information with the Saudis through Epstein. Now Wolff is actively shopping a narrative documentary with a major producer while claiming no one wants his tapes — and Tara breaks the news live on air, texting with Wolff in real time as he denies it all. 0:00 – Intro: Ellie Leonard's six-month deep dive into 1,830 Wolff-Epstein emails 5:20 – Wolff as Epstein's fixer: killing articles, discrediting survivors, drafting PR statements 10:50 – Wolff moved his tapes to a "secure location" — and has been shopping them ever since15:46 – Tara breaks news live: Wolff is actively pitching a documentary with a major producer 20:15 – The Daily Beast connection: Joanna Coles, the failed production deal, and "raw tapes" semantics25:57 – The Epstein Files reading room in New York — somber, two stories of binders, mixed feelings 31:43 – "Stop using these girls as props" — politicizing survivors vs. honoring them 36:20 – The $830K GoFundMe, the $13M book deal, and Wolff's financial hypocrisy47:06 – "You couldn't be a pizza delivery boy and not know" — Virginia Giuffre on Epstein's house 54:16 – The shadow hearing in West Palm Beach: Rosa's testimony and Sky Roberts naming Dershowitz 59:07 – Survivors can't afford to fight billionaires' lawyers — "they've sold houses to pay legal bills" Learn more about your ad choices.
