Donald Trump biographer Michael Wolff shared on Tuesday a surprising reason why he thinks President Donald Trump wants former FBI Director James Comey prosecuted.

Wolff, who has written four books on Trump, said during the latest episode of "Inside Trump's Head," a podcast he co-hosts with The Daily Beast's Chief Content Officer Joanna Coles, that Trump suspects Comey leaked information about Trump's ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein after he was elected during his first term.

This suspicion compounded Trump's frustrations with the FBI's investigation into Russia's attempted interference in the 2016 presidential election, which Trump continues to call a "hoax" to this day, Wolff said.

"All things Trump do come back to Epstein," Wolff said.

"This goes [back] to 2019," he added. "So at that point, the Southern District of New York, which is the Justice Department office in Manhattan, has commenced a separate investigation of Donald Trump. In July, Jeffrey Epstein is arrested. The senior lawyer in this investigation is Maureen Comey, James Comey's daughter."

"Within Trump circles, there is the belief that Epstein is, in fact, arrested to squeeze him for information about Donald Trump," Wolff continued. "We don't know what information that might be, because conveniently, at least for Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein dies shortly thereafter.

"At any rate, though, Donald Trump continues to hold this belief and this grudge, and at the beginning of the summer, shortly after, Pam Bondi announces that there will be no release of the Epstein files," he adds. "Maureen Comey is fired from her job in the Southern District, and then subsequently, not long after, her father is indicted."
