Epstein’s lawyer: Notorious pedophile had nothing incriminating on Trump
A lawyer for the late Jeffrey Epstein, who already had served time for sex offense convictions and was awaiting the prosecution of more when he died, apparently by suicide, in a New York jail, has confirmed that the notorious pedophile had nothing on President Donald Trump.
That issue was raised during a war of words between Tesla billionaire Elon Musk and Trump.
The two had worked together for months on the Department of Government Efficiency, trying to eliminate criminal conduct, fraud, waste and corruption from federal spending, eventually totaling about $170 billion in cuts.
But the two found themselves as odds when the Trump agenda was assembled into a bill in Congress. Musk wanted much more spending cuts than what the plan provided, while Trump was working with a fractious Congress where even his own party had divisions.
As part of the name-calling and back-and-forth bashing between the two, Musk dropped “the really big bomb,” claiming Trump was in the “Epstein files.”
Lawyer David Schoen went to social media to deny it.
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!

He 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!”
Musk had claimed otherwise, although he provided no evidence for his comment:
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!

The Trump administration is in the process of going through the evidence involving Epstein now, and has announced its intention to make much of the documentation about the case public.
While the affirmation is from just one “authoritative” source, the Western Journal speculated that had there been evidence incriminating Trump, Democrats would have had it in the headlines years ago.
Daily Wire Host Matt Walsh said, “It is totally inconceivable that there would be something incriminating about Trump in the Epstein files and yet the Democrats kept that information to themselves for all these years.”
