President Donald Trump resurfaced a statement from attorney David Schoen, who claimed that Jeffrey Epstein had no incriminating information about the president prior to his death.
The statement, originally posted by Schoen on X (formerly Twitter), has since gained widespread attention online after Trump amplified it through his official account.
Schoen, who served briefly as Epstein’s criminal defense lawyer, stated that he had been in contact with Epstein for several months and was formally hired just days before Epstein died. In his post, Schoen wrote:
“I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he had no information to hurt President Trump. I specifically asked him.” Trump reposted the message without further comment.
The president’s post came after Elon Musk published, then deleted, a message on his own X account claiming that Trump is named in the sealed Epstein files. “@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files.
That is the real reason they have not been made public,” Musk wrote. He added in a separate follow-up: “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”
Though Musk’s tweets were eventually removed, screenshots of the statements circulated widely and renewed public interest in the unreleased Epstein records.
