Jeffrey Epstein had 1,571 names of contacts in his little black book.
Fewer than 40 names—just 2.4%—were circled.
Donald Trump’s was one of them.
Epstein had 14 phone numbers for Trump. Fourteen ways to reach him.
If that’s not “being on the Epstein List,” what the f*ck is?

Michael Wolff tried to buy New York Mag — with money from Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein.
So Wolff didn't just have a reporter-source relationship with Epstein. Nor was Wolff his informal PR adviser. They saw each other as potential business partners.
