A Trump biographer flagged how a secret call Donald Trump made to an NFL owner ties him to Epstein's Palm Beach world.
During an episode of Inside Trump's Head, Trump biographer Michael Wolff explained how Trump made a call to get New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft off the hook after he was caught in a massage parlor sting in 2019.
"This would be in the first administration," Wolff explained. "His friend Bob Kraft, who owns the New England Patriots, is in trouble because he's been busted for frequenting Korean massage parlors in Palm Beach, and it's not a good moment for Bob."
Wolff explained that in addition to "legal difficulties," Kraft was dealing with the threat of losing his team at the hands of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
"A commissioner can threaten sanctions or remove you from team ownership," Wolff said. "This was a major moment."
While Kraft was going to massage parlors in Palm Beach, Jeffrey Epstein was operating in West Palm Beach, Wolff noted. Around the time Kraft's scandal came to light, the public was learning about Epstein. Wolff also recounted a joke he heard from Epstein, who said, "Bob Kraft gets take-out, and I get take-in."
Wolff also remembers Trump stepping in to help "his friend, Bob Kraft," and a moment where "Donald Trump is on the phone with him" while sitting as the president.
"Donald Trump is advising him on how to handle a sex scandal, which he's got some experience with," Wolff recalled. "And Trump says, 'Don't worry about Roger. I'll take care of him.'"
When co-host Joanna Coles asked what happened, Wolff explained, "Well, nothing," and Kraft continued to own the Patriots while the scandal faded.
"He still is Bob Kraft, has been returned to being a respected member of the billionaire community," Wolff said. "He married a shrink much younger than him, and they live happily in the summer in the Hamptons."
