According to Michael Wolff, things got nasty between Epstein and Trump when Epstein showed Trump a property that he was going to buy for 36 million. Trump went behind his back, and bought it for 41 million. He sold the property to a Russian for 95 million less than 24 months after, which can be considered money laundering. To protect himself from Epstein, Trump went to the police and said that Epstein was running a hor house, according to Wolff.
