Michael Wolff interviewed Epstein for over 100 hours for a book that never happened.

Johnathan Alter posted this interview a few days ago.

JONATHAN ALTER:

Why did the friendship end?

MICHAEL WOLFF:

It ended over real estate. In 2004, Epstein believed he was the high bidder on a Palm Beach house at $36 million and took Trump to see it and to give him advice on moving the swimming pool. Trump then promptly went around his back and outbid him at $40 million, though he likely didn’t have $40 million; Epstein believed Trump was fronting for someone and threatened to sue him. Epstein believed Trump then informed the police in Palm Beach that he had a never-ending stream of underage girls in and out of his house there, and thus began his long years of legal peril.
