Epstein and Trump
A new voice is being heard from in the Musk v. Trump spat that had Musk accusing Trump of being involved more deeply with since-‘suicided’ Jeffrey Epstein than previous reports had suggested. Aaanndd..it’s pretty much what we already thought.
A lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein, David Schoen, has addressed speculations suggesting the disgraced financier had some dirt on President Donald Trump. According to TMZ, Schoen revealed that Epstein told him he did not have any dirt on Trump and that he would have used it if he did.
Schoen said, “What I can say definitively is that I discussed this subject with Mr. Epstein at a time when it would have been in his best interests to implicate others, and he made clear that Donald Trump did nothing wrong and that he had no damaging information against him.”
One would think that the guy’s own lead attorney would be in a position to know?
Taking to his X account, the attorney wrote: “I was hired to lead Jeffrey Epstein’s defense as his criminal lawyer 9 days before he died. He sought my advice for months before that. I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he had no information to hurt President Trump. I specifically asked him!” Blast
Musk had said that the reason Epstein’s client list was not made public since his 2019 arrest was because Trump’s name was on the list, ignoring that from 2021-2024 Biden, an avowedly anti-Trump Democrat, was in office and would have cheerfully thrown Trump to the wolves without any hesitation. ‘Course, Musk also thinks Trump couldn’t have won without Musk’s help.
Me, I would tend to think the silence about Epstein’s client list stayed pretty much intact would not be due to regard for Trump. There are a few other famous names on the list (cough cough Clinton cough) which reportedly were much tighter with Mr. Epsteinn, took many more trips with him, and presumably might have more need to worry.
