Wolff Warns Melania Trump: ‘She Should Start Worrying About Me’

Melania Trump may be bracing for a second four years in the White House. But author Michael Wolff says she should be bracing for something else: a legal fight she can’t spin away.

Wolff, who has written three books on Donald Trump and is once again locked in a public feud with the president’s inner circle, says Melania is operating under the illusion that she will never have to answer questions about Jeffrey Epstein. Not publicly. And certainly not under oath.

“Melania has been told this will never touch her,” Wolff told us. “But she’s been told that by people who have every reason to protect the president at all costs. They understand the stakes. And they understand how dangerous the truth could be.”

Melania’s legal team has reportedly dismissed Wolff’s lawsuit as a nuisance. They’ve employed the same tactics the Trump orbit has relied on for decades: stall, bury, delay, overwhelm.

“They’re throwing up every procedural barrier they can find,” a veteran Democratic attorney who reviewed the filings said. “This is the Trump playbook. Drag it out. Make it expensive. Exhaust the other side. They do it because it usually works.”

Trump lawyers are now trying to block Wolff’s attempt to depose the first lady. According to Wolff, the White House is acting as though such a moment is impossible. “The idea of Melania sitting across from my lawyers, answering direct questions about Epstein? They can’t even picture it,” he said. “They’re terrified of it.”

Sources close to the White House confirm the anxiety. One senior aide, speaking on background, said the president “does not want Melania dragged into anything involving Epstein. Not again. Not ever.” The aide also claimed the first lady “believes people are out to smear her” and insists “she never had any kind of involvement with Epstein beyond being in the same social orbit as half of Manhattan.”

But the orbit is exactly the point.

For decades, Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein moved in overlapping circles. Palm Beach. Manhattan. Nightclubs. Fundraisers. Parties that catered to billionaires, models, and anyone who wanted in on the spectacle. Trump himself once said he knew Epstein “for 15 years” and called him “a terrific guy” before distancing himself when Epstein first faced legal trouble in 2007.

Wolff argues Melania may know more about those years than she has ever let on. “The first lady has information,” he said. “And information is power. Her testimony could reshape public understanding of the president’s past.”

Legal experts say Wolff’s case remains an uphill climb. The president’s attorneys have nearly unlimited resources and a friendly federal judiciary reshaped during Trump’s first term. But Wolff insists he won’t drop the fight.

“This isn’t about money,” he said. “This is about character. It’s about what kind of people run this country in 2026. And what the first lady can tell us about that.”

For now, the Trump White House is projecting confidence. But behind the scenes, aides admit one thing privately.

A Melania Trump deposition is their nightmare scenario.

And Wolff knows it.
