The former attorney for deceased human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein “unequivocally” said that President Donald Trump is nowhere to be seen on the infamous list of clients that his former client had.
David Schoen, who represented Epstein in the final weeks before he died in 2019, revealed in June that he had questioned his imprisoned client about any potential dirt on Trump.
The comments resurfaced Monday as a new twist in the already chaotic saga of the Trump administration’s handling of Epstein’s files, following a Justice Department memo leaked to Axios last week that concluded the disgraced financier committed suicide and did not maintain a “client list” to blackmail elites.
“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!” Schoen said in a post on X.
