A Trump biographer believes the president's latest overture to Moscow is the opening move in a plan reaching far past his term.

Michael Wolff said in a Tuesday episode of "Inside Trump's Head," the podcast he co-hosts with Joanna Coles, that President Donald Trump's recent deal to buy Russian diesel is the "first stage" of an effort to cash in on his relationship with Vladimir Putin and fund an "alternative White House" at Mar-a-Lago after he leaves office.

Wolff argued that a close bond with the Russian leader has been Trump's goal "from the beginning of his political career," and that Putin offers him a template for both power and profit....

Kimberly Guilfoyle's alleged cash-for-favors arrangement has Trump world snickering, but not for the reason people would expect, according to a Trump biographer.

Michael Wolff told co-host Joanna Coles on Thursday's episode of "Inside Trump's Head" that insiders are mocking the U.S. ambassador to Greece over how little she allegedly charged.

The Wall Street Journal recently reported that businessman and Trump donor Eric Deters said he paid Guilfoyle $300,000 over the years for help with his tax problems and other requests, including getting a song to Kid Rock. According to texts published by The Journal, Deters complained that he had "not received one favor," while Guilfoyle urged him to stop "papering all these things" and to "simply just call me on Signal."...

President Donald Trump's longtime biographer says the president is now "out of control" as the reckless moves in his second term backfire.

Michael Wolff, who has written four books on Trump, made the remarks in a Tuesday episode of The Daily Beast's "Inside Trump's Head" podcast after he and co-host Joanna Coles played a clip of Trump at a Nebraska rally suggesting Los Angeles and San Diego could be attacked.

"They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego," Trump said in the clip. "This is a very small price to pay."...

President Donald Trump's camp threatened his alma mater in 2016 to bury his deepest insecurity, according to biographer Michael Wolff.

Wolff made the claim that Trump has been trying to hide his academic records in a Saturday episode of "Inside Trump's Head," which he co-hosts with Joanna Coles. The episode was built around the fears he believes drive the president. Topping the list was being seen as unintelligent.

Wolff recalled a conversation with former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon about what Russian President Vladimir Putin might have on Trump. Bannon waved off the rumored tapes and the president's finances, Wolff said, before settling on Trump's school records....

Jeffrey Epstein refused to release his photos of President Donald Trump with young women at his home because he feared for his own life, an author claims.

Trump biographer Michael Wolff made the claim on Tuesday's episode of "Inside Trump's Head," where he and co-host Joanna Coles went back over a column Wolff recently wrote on Substack about Epstein's fears.

Coles read aloud a passage in which Wolff recounted pressing Epstein to go public about his "great friend."...

President Donald Trump will hand China a victory when he hosts Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington this week, a Trump biographer predicted.

In a Tuesday episode of "Inside Trump's Head," Michael Wolff said Trump needs a win so badly that he will try to flatter his way to one. The strategy will leave Xi with the upper hand because Trump "doesn't listen to anyone," Wolff warned.

"He needs good news," Wolff said. "And his way of getting good news is not to negotiate a good deal. His way of getting good news is to agree. I mean, so he goes into flattery mode."...
