Email discussing Clinton allegations and media coverage

An internal email thread shows Michael Wolff and Jeffrey E. strategizing to publish a sensational, potentially libelous claim that Bill Clinton was involved in orgies, based on unverified civil court documents that tabloids amplified and then re-imported as fact. They weigh which outlets to approach (USA Today, New York Magazine, possibly the Times or WSJ), emphasize on-record sourcing and libel risk, and discuss timing, while casually noting personal dinner plans with Woody Allen and Soon-Yi.

Filthy Rich

Filthy Rich chronicles Jeffrey Epstein’s rise from a Brooklyn-born financier to a billionaire whose velvet circle—Ghislaine Maxwell and a constellation of powerful men including Les Wexner, Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, and Alan Dershowitz—helped him recruit, traffic, and conceal underage victims. The narrative threads through Epstein’s charm, leverage, and expansive network that opened doors to elite wealth and influence, including his patronage of scientists and high-society mind-shifts, while detailing how Maxwell and others facilitated the abuse, transported girls, and kept a precarious duplicitous system afloat. It also exposes the legal arc surrounding his crimes: a controversial 2007–2008 non-prosecution agreement, a 2008 state guilty plea that resulted in a relatively light sentence and life-time sex-offender registration, and later civil suits and federal probes that continued to haunt his associates and the public conscience. Against the glittering glamour of elite access lies a culture of entitlements where money and status often shielded horrific acts, a truth slowly laid bare by victims’ testimonies and investigative scrutiny.

They're Not Really Out to Get You

Edward Jay Epstein’s Wall Street Journal review of Rob Brotherton’s Suspicious Minds argues that conspiracy thinking emerges from ordinary cognitive quirks—such as confirmation bias and biased assimilation—that cause people to seek evidence that confirms preconceptions, allowing pseudo-conspiracies to spread while real conspiracies occur in fields from terrorism to finance; he traces the historical shift in how we use the term “conspiracy theory” after the Warren Commission, contrasts plausible investigations (like the Confederate role in Lincoln’s assassination) with patently unfounded claims (the moon landing was faked, Area 51 aliens, Obama as a Kenyan communist), and through Brotherton’s framework offers a thoughtful guide to evaluating conspiracies, noting there is no simple cure for our brains’ tendency to leap to conspiratorial conclusions.
