From businessmen to politicians at the highest levels, Epstein broke bread with them all. Yet for years the Legacy media and the rest of high society looked the other way and ignored his behavior as multiple women came forward with allegations of abuse. Even after he was convicted and subsequently received a sweetheart deal those same so called elites welcomed him back with open arms. Now after his death and the arrest of Maxwell, the real story is starting to come together and the curtain has begun to be drawn back and what it has revealed is truly disturbing. From Princes to Ex Presidents, the cast of scoundrels in this play spans continents and political affiliations leaving us with a transcontinental criminal conspiracy possibly unlike any we have ever seen before. In this podcast we will explore all of the levels of Jeffrey Epstein and his criminal enterprise. From his most trusted assistants to obscure associates, we will leave no stone unturned as we swim through the muck searching for clarity and answers to some of the most pressing questio…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-25T16:18:16.653536+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394"},"episode":{"title":"Judge Throws Out Michael Wolff’s Preemptive Lawsuit Against Melania Trump (5/25/26)","slug":"judge-throws-out-michael-wolff-s-preemptive-lawsuit-against-melania-trump-5-25-26","published_at":"2026-05-25T15:00:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394/judge-throws-out-michael-wolff-s-preemptive-lawsuit-against-melania-trump-5-25-26","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/judge-throws-out-michael-wolff-s-preemptive-lawsuit-against-melania-trump-5-25-26--72131003","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72131003/wolfftrumplawsuitossed.mp3","summary":"A federal judge dismissed Michael Wolff’s lawsuit against Melania Trump, rejecting his attempt to preemptively block or neutralize a potential $1 billion defamation suit from the first lady over comments tying her to Jeffrey Epstein. Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil ruled that Wolff’s approach was procedurally improper, calling it a “contorted” effort and saying federal courts do not exist to referee a pre-lawsuit battle in that manner. Wolff had argued that Melania Trump’s legal threats were meant to intimidate critics and chill speech, while her lawyer said his statements caused reputational and financial harm and demanded retractions. The underlying dispute centers on Wolff’s comments about Melania Trump, Donald Trump, and Epstein’s social orbit, including remarks that were later used in a Daily Beast story the outlet retracted after legal pressure. Wolff maintains that his statements were either taken out of context, protected opinion, or did not accuse Melania Trump of criminal involvement in Epstein’s crimes. Melania Trump has forcefully denied any association with Epstein and framed the claims as defamatory lies. The judge did not decide whether Wolff defamed her; instead, she dismissed his preemptive lawsuit and left any future defamation fight to proceed through the ordinary legal process. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Judge throws out Michael Wolff’s lawsuit against Melania Trump Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support .","meta_description":"A federal judge dismissed Michael Wolff’s lawsuit against Melania Trump, rejecting his attempt to preemptively block or neutralize a potential $1 billion…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":691,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394/episodes/judge-throws-out-michael-wolff-s-preemptive-lawsuit-against-melania-trump-5-25-26/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394/judge-throws-out-michael-wolff-s-preemptive-lawsuit-against-melania-trump-5-25-26.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
