Lawyer David Schoen, who represented Donald Trump at his second impeachment trial and who briefly represented Jeffrey Epstein on sex trafficking charges before Epstein’s death, stepped into the is-Trump-in-the-Epstein files controversy.
Schoen shared his input on X, responding directly to Elon Musk’s claims on X that Donald Trump was ‘in the Epstein files’ and that’s why they had never been released. However, Schoen’s statement was met with skepticism, much like the broader Epstein case, particularly after the Trump Administration Department of Justice memo stated there was no incriminating ‘Epstein client list,’ affirmed Epstein’s death by suicide, and indicated no further prosecutions would occur based on new evidence.
