A criminal defense attorney who represented Jeffrey Epstein shortly before his death has come forward to refute recent allegations implicating President Donald Trump in Epstein’s scandal, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.
Attorney David Schoen, who represented Epstein just nine days before the convicted sex offender was found dead in a Manhattan jail cell in August 2019, stated publicly that Epstein never implicated Trump in any wrongdoing.
“I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he had no information to hurt President Trump. I specifically asked him!” Schoen wrote in a post on X.
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!

Trump's Sovereign Wealth Fund: What Could It Mean For Your Money?
Schoen’s statement was posted Thursday evening, just hours after tech mogul Elon Musk publicly clashed with President Trump over policy disagreements and then escalated the conflict by insinuating Trump’s involvement with Epstein.
Musk had been openly critical of Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” (OBBB), a policy package focused on reducing taxes, curbing trade deficits, keeping Democrats out of power, and promoting American job growth.

In response to Musk’s ongoing criticism of the bill, President Trump fired back, leading to an intensifying public exchange between the two high-profile billionaires.
Musk escalated matters by sharing a 1992 video clip of Trump and Epstein at a Mar-a-Lago event that featured NFL cheerleaders.
Following the footage, Musk posted a cryptic message:
“Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”
“Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”

Schoen, however, swiftly countered the narrative. In addition to his statement about Epstein’s comments regarding Trump, he also reposted a message from longtime Trump ally Roger Stone.
In that message, Stone wrote: “I can tell you unequivocally as someone who would know that President Trump never did anything wrong with Jeffrey Epstein.” Schoen added his support by reposting it with agreement.

The renewed speculation around Epstein’s ties to high-profile figures comes as debates flare over Trump’s proposed legislation, which has divided business leaders and prompted reactions from political allies and opponents alike.
Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his jail cell on August 10, 2019, in what was officially ruled a suicide. His connections to various global elites, including former President Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew, have remained a source of ongoing public and legal scrutiny.
No formal evidence has ever surfaced implicating President Trump in Epstein’s criminal activities, and Schoen’s statements mark the first public comments by Epstein’s legal team that directly address this matter.

The MSM trying to stir the pot. Give it a break!!!!! Report real news instead of your hatred spewing out!!!!!!
If Trump had been in the Epstein files, Biden would have released that information long ago.
Of COURSE the demoTARDS will TRY anything to besmirch POTUS! Like rebecca says, hidenbiden would have released that ALREADY if it were true!!! BTW, Epstein did NOT kill himself!!!
The MSM are NOT NEWS organizations; the MSM is pure propaganda, but propaganda aimed at President Trump and his supporters. How is it the MSM can never find anything against a Democrat???
Musk is angry because the bill defunds electric vehicles, was he thereto help Tesla? so it won’t get defunded, Trump lost money for running for POTUS, Trump is literally is placing his life in danger to save USA, Musk is showing his real thinking, how many kids Musk has out of wed lock last time was 11??.
Trump never needed to chase women, they chased him.
Musk is nothing more than a spoiled brat throwing a temper tantrum because he didn’t get his way.
By the looks of thing musk has ended up with egg on his face after LYING about Trump and epstein. Further proof he is nothing but a spoiled rich CHILD, that threw a temper tantrum after TRUMP pulled his EV subsidies, and didn’t give his “friends” jobs in the government.
Time to sue for SLANDER President TRUMP.
This comment by Elon Musk – betrays his image as a “Nice Guy” – it is petty and only goes so far as to say Trump is mentioned by Epstein.
As Epstein was a Social butterfly – how many other American Celebrities has Epstein mentioned – almost all you can think of – I’ll bet.
How many flew down to Epstein’s Island on Epstein’s Private plane ? – now that is more interesting – because of Implication of “under age sex” provided by Epstein at that location – Bill Clinton was on one of those flights BTW
