Thanks, Melania. Melania Trump has thrown Donald Trump under the bus and perhaps the way he feared the most with respect to the Epstein files. And now Melania Trump is running away. She is evading service by Michael Wolf, who sued her after she threatened Wolf that Wolf needed to apologize and retract statements about her connections with with Jeffrey Epstein. Michael Wolf said that she was chilling his First Amendment speech and that her threats constituted an abusive process. He filed a lawsuit against her in New York and he's ready to take discovery. He wants her deposition. He wants Trump's deposition. He wants emails, documents and text messages from her. He wants emails, documents and text messages from Donald Trump in connection with his lawsuit. He's got a process server who's been trying to serve her all across the country. She's now not accepting service. Her lawyer, who sent the letter threatening Wolf, is refusing to accept service. He goes, I'm not representing her in connection with this. And he previously said in the letter threatening Wolf, please direct all of your correspondence to me. And so now this has backfired in Melania's face. But more significantly, this has backfired in Donald Trump's face because Michael Wolf isn't just any author.
D
Right.

Michael Wolff is Donald Trump's former biographer. Like, he knows Donald Trump well. He knows Melania well. He sat down with both of them. He's spoken with so many people in Donald Trump's orbit. He knows where a lot of the bodies are buried. And so for Melania to go after Michael Wolf and then now run away from Michael Wolf after she threatened Wolf that she was going to sue him, you can see a disaster on the horizon for both her and Donald Trump. And not only is is Michael Wolfe Donald Trump's former biographer, he's a former biographer for Rupert Murdoch. But you know who he was potentially also going to be a former biographer for? Yep. You know it. Jeffrey Epstein, who spoke with him and told him about and showed him photos of Donald Trump and young ladies or perhaps girls, individuals of indeterminate age. And Wolf says, I've seen photos that Epstein showed me. Wolf was told a lot of inside stories from Jeffrey Epstein, from Steve Bannon about Donald Trump's fears regarding what Epstein knew. So Melania threatened Wolf. Melania said, I'm going to sue you, Wolf. Melania has not sued Michael Wolf. Wolf sued Melania. And now Melania is refusing to accept service right now. And Wolf, he's ready to go. He wants to go into court. He wants discovery right now. So why I'm saying Melania threw Trump under the bus because plus, now you have Michael Wolf who is out there aggressive. It's like his dream come true as a former Trump biographer. Right. He can get all this information in discovery. Now she's opened the door to that. So here's what Michael Wolf recently said about his attempts to have a process server serve Melania Trump and her efforts to evade service of process. And so it's like she wants to be a bully. She threatened to sue Mike, Michael Wolf for $1 billion. Michael Wolf sued her. She didn't countersue, and now she's running away. I want you to watch this here. Play this clip of Michael Wolf talking about how Melania is now running away. Play this clip.
D
This is an update about my lawsuit against the first lady of the United States. I think she's running from us by suing her. We have the right to subpoena her and her husband and their friends and. And to ask all concerned about their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. We have tried to serve her lawyer in Florida. He has absolutely refused to take service of our lawsuit. We've sent a process server to Trump Tower where we understand she lives not in the White House, but in Trump Tower. And that process server, who seem perfectly familiar with, with serving people in Trump Tower, a lot of dubious people there. When the server found out that it was the first lady, they panicked. They refused to do it. We got another server to go. And this was just yesterday. They arrived at Trump Tower. They were prevented from getting in by security. Security told them that they would, that they would take any papers and throw them in the gar. But they did confirm that Melania Trump lives in Trump Tower. So this is a kind of historical point. The first lady of the United States does not live in the White House. She lives in Trump Tower. We will now go into court as early as tomorrow.
B
Now, just a reminder about Michael Wolff's lawsuit. You see it right here. He filed it on October 21st of this past year, so before the Epstein files were released. And by the way, Michael Wolff, you've seen him here dozens of time on the Midas Touch Network where he's talked about things that you're now seeing in the release of emails from the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee from the Epstein estate, because, remember, Wolf mentioned the Steve Bannon Epstein connections. And now we're seeing lots of emails of Epstein emailing Bannon and what Bannon was telling, you know, Wolf. So everything that Wolf said is spot on. Here's Wolf's lawsuit. And he says, On October 15, 2015, defendant Melania Trump, through her counsel, demanded that Wolf immediately retract certain statements which Wolf allegedly published about Mrs. Trump. A copy of Trump's attorney threat letter. Melania Trump's attorney threat letter is attached as an exhibit number two. The threat letter insisted that if Wolf did not comply with these demands by October 21, 2025 at PM that Mrs. Trump would initiate legal action against Wolf for over $1 billion in damages. And then Wolf says, as a result of this threatened legal action, it creates a climate of fear. It creates a chilling impact on Wolf's First Amendment speech. So Wolf says, I'm suing. Here's the letter. Just so you can see the letter that was sent by Melania Trump to Michael Wolf. The lawyer is Alejandro Brito. Notably, Brito also represents Donald Trump on a lot of actions right here, October 15, 2025. And here's what it says. This law firm serves as litigation counsel for The first lady of the United states of America, Mrs. Melania Trump. Please direct all future correspondence relating to this matter to my attention. This correspondence serve as a. Serves as a demand under Florida law that you must immediately retract and apologize for false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements made about Mrs. Trump, which were published in the Daily Beast and contained in the article titled, melania Trump very involved in Epstein scandal. Author failure to comply will leave Mrs. Trump with no choice but to pursue any and all legal rights and remedies available to recover the overwhelming financial and reputational harm that you have caused her to suffer. So you see right there, by the way, this lawyer, Alejandro Brito, is saying, please direct all future correspondence to my attention. So now that Michael Wolf has filed a lawsuit against Melania, he's directed it to Brito's attention. He goes, hey, you're the lawyer, right? You threatened to sue me. Can you accept service of the lawsuit? Um, because you have to serve somebody with a summons after you file a lawsuit for you to then start discovery. The lawsuit gets filed, then you have to serve them. And you know how sometimes people avoid process servers. That's what's going on right now. But she's represented by a lawyer, right? So Michael Wolfe's like, yeah, let me try to serve the lawyer. And the lawyer's not accepting service. So here's what Melania says was defamatory. The articles, defamatory statements. Here are the false statements in the article that were made by you, which are defamatory per se, and which were published by the Daily Beast. Melania Trump is very involved in the Epstein scandal. First Lady Melania could be the missing link in President Trump's ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Melania was very involved in Epstein social circle and noted that this is how she met Trump. She's introduced by a model agent, both of whom Trump and Epstein are involved with. She's introduced to Trump that way. Epstein knew her well. And then the lawyer for Melania says, all of this is false. All of this is defamatory, disparaging, inflammatory. You publish this deliberately to denigrate Mrs. Trump. Immediately issue a retraction and immediately issue an apology. If you do not comply with the above by October 21, 2025, Mrs. Trump will be left with no alternative but to enforce her legal and equitable rights, all of which are expressly reserved, including by filing a legal action against you for over $1 billion in damages, you are hereby put on notice. And so Michael Wolf said, okay, you're putting Me on notice, I'm suing you. He sues. She's now running away, avoiding process servers. He's going to have to go into court now to make a court order that says that basically after you try to serve someone a certain amount of times, a court can deem the lawsuit served. So the court's gonna deem the lawsuit served. Cuz he's gone through all of these efforts to serve her and you know, now that she actually lives at Trump Tower, not at the White House, that's been definitively established according to Michael Wolf, in his opinion, my opinion. And so now he's gonna get ready to unleash discovery. And who's he going to subpoena? Donald Trump? He's going to subpoena Melania. He's going to want their phones, their text messages, their emails, all of their communications and they're going to be hauled in to have to testify right now. So when I say Melania threw Trump under the bus, Melania, if you're going to go and do this and threaten people, then you better be ready for them to file, you know, lawsuits against you for injunctive relief, anti slap actions, for abuse of process, as Michael Wolf just did. And you're gonna have to be prepared. Otherwise why would you provoke, why would you poke a sleeping bear like Michael Wolf? Like Michael Wolf. Granted, he wasn't necessarily sleeping. I mean, he was covering the stuff. But now you're giving someone like that an inside track to get discovery on you and Donald Trump. By the way, Melania tried to pull the same thing with Hunter Biden. And Hunter Biden's like, do it. Sue me, please sue me. Melania and she never sued Hunter Biden. And Hunter Biden said what Michael Wolf said. He was citing Michael Wolf's report. Here's what Hunter had to say. Here, play this clip.
E
Melania's lawyer sent me a letter saying they're gonna sue me for a billion dollars. My response to that was, please do in court. I would have the right to, number one, depose the person that's suing me, and that would be the individual Melania Trump. And I would have the right to subpoena and depose and seek discovery from every sing in their circle that would or potentially have knowledge about the genesis of the relationship between Donald Trump and Melania and their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
B
So I had the opportunity to interview Michael Wolf and I asked him, I said, so are you gonna go after discovery, are you gonna get depositions of Donald Trump and Melania? Here's what he told me, I'm gonna talk about all of the Epstein connections. You wanted to do this. We're gonna do this, and we're gonna do discovery. I want Donald Trump's deposition right now as well. So talk to us about the discovery that you're looking to get in this case.
D
Well, you know, I think that this is an opportunity to ask all of the questions that they have refused to answer. I mean, it's very straightforward. I mean, we know that. That Donald Trump had a long, long, deep, abiding relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Let's. Let's hear the details. Let's hear the details of their financial involvement. Let's hear the details. Sexual involvement. Not that they were involved together, but. But one or the other as each other's wingman in many situations. And I say that using the politest words. Let's. Let's get into it. Let's get into Melania's history. How does she come to this country? What does she do when she's here? How does she meet Donald Trump? What's her relationship to them, to the modeling agents who knew both Epstein and Trump? I mean, these are all of. All of the questions, which I think once they are answered, we will have a much clearer picture of what Jeffrey Epstein did, who he did it to, and how the President of the United States was involved.
B
And here's what Michael Wolf told Anthony Scaramucci about how Melania hates Donald Trump's effing guts. Play this clip.
D
And she hasn't shown up for the. For the. In any instances, in any of his court appearances. You know, and I had, you know, somebody told me the story of Jason Miller approaching her and saying, hey, it would be great in terms of the first indictment of you, of you coming there and stand by your man. And then she said. Then she laughed, said, nice try. Anyway, I was trying talking this through with one of the people and asking, so, what's going on here, really? What is this about? And I remember this person looked at me with incredulity as though. As though it should be obvious to anyone. And this person said, she hates his fucking guts. And then at that moment, you go, oh, my God. But could this be anything else other than that?
B
Now, Michael Wolf knows a lot because he was also going to be Epstein's potential biographer. And Epstein told Wolf a ton of things. So Wolf knows, for example, photographs that Epstein showed him. So Wolf's gonna go and ask Trump and Melania questions like this. Here's what Wolf said about the photographs that he saw here.
D
Play this clip, and I've said before that Epstein used to bring out this set of pictures. There were about a dozen snapshots.
B
And.
D
Among them there are at least three that I remember. Two of topless girls sitting in Trump's lap around Epstein's swimming pool and then one with a stain on the front of Trump's pants with three or four girls laughing and pointing at it. So I have seen those pictures.
C
So what's your best guess to I still blind.
D
They are. Well, I, I'm. My best guess is that they, that, that Epstein kept them in the safe. Safe was emptied out by the FBI. Where are those pictures now?
B
I think that Wolf is also going to ask Melania a lot of questions. I think she has a lot of explaining to do. Right? I mean, we know that Melania gave false information about her background of arriving in the United States. Pull up this article right here. She said she graduated from a university, that she didn't. Take a look at this article with degree debunked, Melania Trump website is taken down Melania Trump's cribbing last week of Michelle Obama's lines. She stole Michelle Obama's convention speech. Do you remember? That was not the first time she claimed something that was not hers. For months now, reporters have noted that Ms. Trump, who grew up in a small Slovenian town of Svenica, did not obtain an undergraduate degree in architecture from the University of Lana. And her professional website claims she did. Instead, she left after her first year to pursue a modeling career in Milan. As recently as a week ago, Ms. Trump's website stated that she had obtained a degree before going on to become a philanthropist and and skincare entrepreneur. On Wednesday, the Huffington Post noticed that the site had been entirely scrubbed of its content. People clicking on its address are now redirected to the Trump Organization website. That was July 28, 2016, and Melania posted the website in question was created in 2012 and has been removed because it does not accurately reflect my current business and professional interest. No, it was removed because it did not accurately reflect your past. And I think that there's a lot of questions to ask Melania about her past. And so if I were to have her deposition as well, I'd be asking a lot of questions about how'd she get here into the United States? How would she get an Einstein visa? What's the connection with Paolo Zompoli? You all know Paolo Zompoli. March 11, 2025. Donald Trump writes, I'm pleased to announce that I appointed Paolo Zompoli as special envoy for global partnership. With his extensive experience working with the United nations, the Kennedy center and various international initiatives, Paulo will help us advance America's interests on the global stage. Congratulations, Paolo. That's March 11, 2025. Well, who is Paolo Zompoli? When Donald met Melania, Paulo was there. Here's how the New York Times described things in an August 31, 2016 article. A couple of weekends ago, Paolo Zompoli received a text message from from Melania Trump, the wife of the Republican candidate for president, urging him to give her a call the next day. Mr. Zampoli, a former modeling agent who discovered the Slovene 20 years ago from Slovenia in Milan, listened as Mrs. Trump expressed anguish over a gossipy report in the British tabloid the Daily Mail, accusing her and Mr. Zampoli of operating an escort service in the 1990s. This is actually outrageous, the New York Times writes. Mrs. Trump said on the call, according to Mr. Zompoli, explaining that she was considering filing a lawsuit against the Daily Mail for making false and defamatory statements. He said she sounded extremely disturbed. Mr. Zompoli, 46, sounded less than disturbed as he spoke over a recent lunch of pasta in Gramercy park townhouse, which is decorated with works of Picasso and others in his monogram dress shirt and Italian accented English. Bush, the one time mainstay of New York gossip pages, called the report rubbish and disgusting, but also seemed to relish his return to the public eye. And now here's what else the article talks about how they met each other at the Kitkat Club when Paolo Zampoli introduced them. He secured Mrs. Trump's visa to the United States and introduced her to Donald Trump at a 1998 party he hosted at the Kit Kat Club. Mr. Zompoli's parties have featured an alligator, tiger, cubs and models at nightclubs blowing kisses at fashion television cameras. So that's Paulo Zompoli. I'd be asking a lot of questions there. Here are some questions that were posed by Simon Rosenberg back in 2016 and I think these are questions that would be asked at her deposition at well, if she wants services effectuated now that Donald Trump has promised this was was August 10, 2016. Now that Donald Trump has promised to address the question of whether Melania Trump broke immigration laws when she emigrated to the United states in the mid-1990s and in the process of gaining her citizenship, there are at least four questions that need to be answered directly by the Trump campaign in the coming days. By the way, this was August 9th of 2016 when Trump said he would Hold a presser and answer question about Melania's immigration status. Play this clip.
C
Maybe she came in illegally. Maybe. Let me tell you one thing. She has got it so documented. So she's going to have a little news conference over the next couple of weeks. That's good. That's good. I love it.
E
I love it.
C
They said Melania Trump may have come into our country illegally. And how would that be for Donald Trump to be talking? Here's the only problem. She came into our totally legally. I mean, you know, so that's what I said. All right, but you'll see it in a little while. I said to her, no, no, let it simmer for a little while. Let them go wild. Let it simmer.
B
So here are questions that Simon Rosenberg said. What work visas did Ms. Trump have in the years before she received her green card in 2001? Can you produce them and their applications for the public to see? Green card can you explain how Mrs. Trump received her her green card in 2001? Wasn't it based on an employer or family sponsor? If employment related, who was the sponsor? Was it through marriage, as was reported on August 5th? And Mrs. Trump get her green card by other means? Can you produce the green card? Purpose of early travel to US can Mrs. Trump provide the date and purpose of each of her visits to the United States prior to moving here in 1996? Did she work even for free during any of these visits? We know she was here in 1995 and an associate from those days, Paulo Zompoli, has said on the record that she was living here before receiving a work visa in 1996. As you are aware, the United States government has a record of every trip she made in and out of the US Prior to her receiving a green card. So it would help us all understand her complete immigration story by providing this information as it is already known by the immigration authorities in the US Those are the questions that will be asked. We will keep you posted every step of the way here, of course, at the Midas Touch Network. But now she's running away. These are the questions that'll be asked in a deposition.

Episode: Melania Throws Donald Under the Bus on Epstein Files
Date: December 28, 2025
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas
In this episode, the Meiselas brothers dissect Melania Trump’s escalating legal entanglement with author Michael Wolff, specifically relating to allegations of Melania’s connections to Jeffrey Epstein and her efforts to threaten and then evade a lawsuit. The hosts explore how Melania’s legal threats—intended to silence criticism—have backfired, now exposing both her and Donald Trump to possible discovery regarding their relationship with Epstein. The episode weaves legal analysis, political commentary, and trademark brotherly banter to unpack the broader implications for the Trumps in the wake of the Epstein file revelations.
Ben, on Melania’s failed legal maneuvering:
“She wants to be a bully. She threatened to sue Michael Wolff for $1 billion. Michael Wolff sued her. She didn’t countersue, and now she’s running away.”
– 05:47
Michael Wolff, on serving Melania:
“The process server… was prevented from getting in by security. Security told them that they would take any papers and throw them in the gar... But they did confirm that Melania Trump lives in Trump Tower. So this is a kind of historical point. The first lady of the United States does not live in the White House.”
– 06:57
Michael Wolff, on the Trump–Epstein relationship:
“We know that Donald Trump had a long, long, deep, abiding relationship with Jeffrey Epstein... Let’s hear the details of their financial involvement. Let’s hear the details... Sexual involvement. Not that they were involved together, but... one or the other as each other’s wingman...”
– 14:46
Hunter Biden, on a lawsuit from Melania:
“My response... was, please do in court. I would have the right to, number one, depose the person that’s suing me, and that would be the individual Melania Trump. And I would have the right to subpoena and depose and seek discovery from every sing[le person] in their circle.”
– 13:47
Wolff, on Melania’s relationship with Trump:
“‘She hates his fucking guts.’... Could this be anything else other than that?”
– 16:13
Wolff, on seeing Epstein photos:
“Among them there are at least three that I remember. Two of topless girls sitting in Trump’s lap around Epstein’s swimming pool and then one with a stain on the front of Trump’s pants with three or four girls laughing and pointing at it. So I have seen those pictures.”
– 17:45
Ben, summarizing the risk:
“Why would you provoke, why would you poke a sleeping bear like Michael Wolf?... Now you’re giving someone like that an inside track to get discovery on you and Donald Trump.”
– 12:28
This episode captures a moment where years of legal and reputational brinksmanship appear ready to backfire on the Trumps. Melania’s attempts at intimidation have not only failed to quiet discussion but have, according to the hosts and Michael Wolff, potentially exposed her and Donald Trump to far-reaching legal inquiry. Through a blend of legal strategy breakdown, inside scoops, and their signature irreverent tone, the Meidas brothers underscore the often-unintended consequences of threatening litigation—and preview how the coming discovery could turn the tables on two of America’s most prominent and secretive public figures.
