"Trump dropped the dime on Epstein." Michael Wolff

'Author REVEALS ALL on Trump SECRET CONNECTIONS'

'Court of History's Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz look at the inside story of the Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump relationship. Guest, Michael Wolff, peels back the layers of secrecy surrounding Donald Trump's long, tangled ties to Jeffrey Epstein.'

My words: How did the police learn about Epstein? According to author, Michael Wolff Trump and Epstein had a falling out over real estate deal in which Trump bought a house Epstein wanted and then re-sold it to a Russian oligargh for substantially more money, thus laundering the Russian's money. Angry, Epstein threatened to go pubic about the deal with the Russian, which caused Trump to call the Palm Beach police and tell them what was going on at Epstein's house." (around 17 min.)

Birtherism conspiracy theory

During the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries, Blumenthal, then informally working for Hillary Clinton, promulgated rumors and encouraged news organizations to investigate conspiracy theories that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, not the United States, and thus was not constitutionally eligible to serve as president per the natural-born-citizen clause. This conspiracy theory later became more widely known as birtherism. A former Washington, D.C., bureau chief for McClatchy Newspapers, James Asher, said in a formal statement in the fall of 2016 that "Mr. Blumenthal and I [once] met together in my office and he strongly urged me to investigate the exact place of President Obama’s birth, which he suggested was in Kenya. We assigned a reporter to go to Kenya, and that reporter determined that the allegation was false.
