David Schoen, former lawyer for both Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, revealed he asked Epstein if he had damaging information on Trump, asserting Epstein had none. This statement emerged alongside a leaked Justice Department memo describing Epstein's death as suicide and dismissing any potential client list for blackmail. The memo sparked backlash among Trump supporters, leading to accusations against Attorney General Pam Bondi and internal conflict within the MAGA base, compounded by Elon Musk's claims about Trump’s possible presence in Epstein's files, which he later deleted.
I was hired to lead Jeffrey Epstein's defense as his criminal lawyer 9 days before he died, Schoen wrote. 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!
The memo enraged some MAGA loyalists and prompted accusations of betrayal and a backlash against Attorney General Pam Bondi from figures like Tucker Carlson, Laura Loomer, and Steve Bannon.
