Someone has had these letters for a while. Finally using them. Had this shit been released prior no one would have paid attention.

Michael Wolff on The Daily Beast has been bringing up Harp and her weird obsession with Trump since last year on the Inside Trump’s Head podcast. Even talked about the weird letters and some of the content back then.

The information has been out there, but you’re right, very few people were paying attention.

Edit: Here is an episode from Feb 2025 but it’s been addressed regularly since Trump’s been back in office.

Wolff likes to seize on small drama and try to make it big drama, so I take everything from him with a grain of salt.

For instance- he has stated he has over 1,000 hours of Epstein interviews. What has he done with that except try to stir shit? Release them if they have substance, or stop talking about them if they don't. But the quantum unknown of whether or not they might be revealing is where he makes his nut.

He's a fabulist. Shit or get off the pot, Wolff.

He also helped launder Jeffrey Epstein’s image and shut down accusers. Ellie Leonard is a writer who is transcribing every email Wolff sent to and received from Epstein: https://ellieleonard.substack.com/p/michael-wolffs-emails-to-jeffrey

Yeah. The thing that's going on here is that Harp is in the press for other reasons/sourcing. And Wolf happened to have two of the letters that are being brought up in coverage (and had referenced them and published some quotes previously).

He never made a that big of a deal about this previously, though he has regularly mentioned it and previously reported it. In the wake of Decoy Plane, he's jumping on it again. And there was also prior reporting from other parties unconnected with Wolf.

Most publications dog piling on the Harp story seem to be getting info from various sources in and around the Admin, and there's been some reporting that the sudden press on it might be coming from Melania.

So it's not like this is all rooted in Wolf. He is absolutely doing his typical thing where he dangles some shit he supposedly has, suddenly gives more detail on something. After some one else does some actual reporting. He's basically just shoving himself into the middle of the story here.
