Former Trump biographer Michael Wolff is not sweating the president's potential lawsuit against him, arguing during a recent podcast episode that the president would be too afraid of the questions he would get asked about Jeffrey Epstein while under oath.

Wolff is a veteran reporter and author best known for Fire & Fury, a 2018 book detailing the chaotic behind-the-scenes drama of the first Trump administration. Over the weekend, Trump accused Wolff of conspiring against him with Epstein, the deceased sex trafficker with whom Trump maintained a years-long friendship, telling reporters on Saturday that the writer had wanted "to do harm to me politically or else."

"So we’ll probably sue Wolff on that," Trump said.

The president later doubled down on the threat of a lawsuit in a Truth Social post from Monday.

“Epstein and a SLEAZEBAG lying ‘author’ named Michael Wolff, conspired in order to damage me and/or my Presidency,” the post read. "So much for the Radical Left’s hope against hope, some of whom I’ll be suing.”

During the latest episode of his Daily Beast podcast, "Inside Trump's Head," Wolff dismissed the president's latest threat against, saying the likelihood of him actually being sued was "remote," as Trump would want to avoid going through the discovery process, arguing that "he obviously has so much to hide."

"What is he going to do?" Wolff asked. "Is he going to sit for a deposition? Is he going to answer all of the questions that then I would have the right to ask him about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein?”

Wolff went further, detailing the sort of questions he would ask Trump during such a legal fight, including questions about his travel history with Epstein, as well as the claim from the most recent trove of documents that the sex trafficker introduced him to his current wife, First Lady Melania Trump.

"In the release of these documents by the federal government, there is a document here that says Jeffrey Epstein introduced you to your wife," Wolff said, describing the sort of question he would ask. "Do you want to discuss that, Mr. Trump?"

Wolff also said that Trump has threatened to sue him numerous times over the last decade without following through. Co-host Joanna Coles suggested that Trump views the mere process of initiating a lawsuit to be a punishment for his enemies, even if they do not pan out for him.

“Yes,” Wolff said. "Although for me it would not be irritation.”

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
