President Donald Trump biographer Michael Wolff, who is countersuing First Lady Melania Trump after her legal team threatened to sue him for $1 billion over his claims linking her to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, spelled out to the Daily Beast how he plans to use subpoenas to shed light on the connections between the Trumps and Epstein.

Wolff told Daily Beast's "Inside Trump's Head" podcast host Joanna Coles that his explosive lawsuit lift the “dark curtain” on the “secrets” entangling the first lady, the president and Epstein.

“I can subpoena the first lady, the president, and anyone else who might shed light on the relationship of Donald Trump and Melania Trump to Jeffrey Epstein,” Wolff said. “In other words, this might be a way to actually get to the bottom of this story, to open the curtain, the dark curtain. And we’ll see how they feel about that.”

Wolff, the Daily Beast reports, is seeking to question the president and depose the first lady.

“This lawsuit is an opportunity to reconstruct their lives together,” he said. “This is precisely what Donald Trump wants covered up.”

Wolff, who interviewed Epstein about the president in 2017 while researching his book "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," has said that many of their conversations revolved around “the real closeness, the intimacy” between Trump and Epstein.

According to Wolff, Epstein said that he and Trump were “involved in every aspect of each other’s lives, social lives, sexual lives, business lives,” over the course of their friendship, which lasted from the 1980s through the 2000s.

Wolff also said that he plans to subpoena various documents on the convicted sex trafficker, calling it a “back door” to the “Epstein files” that Democrats and some MAGA Republicans have been chasing.

When Coles noted that the now infamous photo of Epstein, Trump, Melania, and his cohort and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell that was taken at Mar-a-Lago in 2000, Wolff said he could very well subpoena Maxwell, currently serving 20 years in a so-called country club prison.

“Everybody who was involved in that circle during that time period is someone who we’ll certainly think about calling," Wolff said.

He also blew off the legal threats from the first lady, saying, “This has just become their trick in the book,” he said. “[They say] ‘We don’t want this discussion to go on. How do we stop it? We threaten people with lawsuits for billions of dollars.’”

When the White House got word of Wolff's counter suit, they were shocked, he said, noting that the Trump strategy is to "sue the media and the media goes quiet.”

Not Wolff, who told Coles, “Someone in the White House said to me this morning, ‘Well, no one saw that coming.’”
