The former attorney for deceased human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein “unequivocally” said that President Donald Trump is nowhere to be seen on the infamous list of clients that his former client had.

David Schoen, who represented Epstein in the final weeks before he died in 2019, revealed in June that he had questioned his imprisoned client about any potential dirt on Trump.

The comments resurfaced Monday as a new twist in the already chaotic saga of the Trump administration’s handling of Epstein’s files, following a Justice Department memo leaked to Axios last week that concluded the disgraced financier committed suicide and did not maintain a “client list” to blackmail elites.

“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!” Schoen said in a post on X.

MAGA supporters are voicing frustration with President Trump after he offered a strong defense of Attorney General Pam Bondi, whose Department of Justice recently denied the existence of a Jeffrey Epstein client list, despite years of promises from Trump allies to expose the disgraced financier’s secrets.

Longtime conservatives and Trump loyalists took to social media and voiced their anger in person at a convention in Florida, insisting the Epstein scandal “will not go away.” The DOJ concluded that Epstein died by suicide in 2019 and maintains that no list exists naming the powerful individuals allegedly involved in his network of sexual abuse, Fox News reported.

“.@realDonaldTrump please understand the EPSTEIN AFFAIR is not going away,” retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, Trump’s national security advisor from his first administration, posted to X on Saturday. “If the administration doesn’t address the massive number of unanswered questions about Epstein, especially the ABUSE OF CHILDREN BY ELITES (it is very clear that abuse occurred), then moving forward on so many other monumental challenges our nation is facing becomes much harder.”

In a joint memo obtained by Fox News last week, the DOJ and FBI stated they had no additional information to release regarding Jeffrey Epstein’s case or death.

The announcement sparked internal tensions, with FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino reportedly clashing with Attorney General Pam Bondi over what he described as a “lack of transparency,” even going so far as to threaten resignation, according to Fox News.

Epstein was a convicted sexual predator who pleaded guilty in 2008 to procuring underage girls for prostitution. He was arrested again in 2019 on new federal charges of sex trafficking minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking.

The financier, who mingled with global elites from Bill Gates to being photographed with Donald Trump years before his presidency, was found dead in his New York City jail cell in August 2019, in what was officially ruled a suicide.

However, many MAGA supporters reject that conclusion, alleging Epstein did not hang himself and claiming his death was part of a broader cover-up to protect powerful individuals implicated in his abuse of minors, Fox noted.

On Saturday evening, Trump took to Truth Social to deliver a strong endorsement of Bondi, even as conservatives intensified their calls for answers surrounding the long-running Epstein scandal.

“What’s going on with my ‘boys’ and, in some cases, ‘gals?’ They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB,” Trump wrote in a lengthy post on Truth Social on Saturday. “We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening.”

He referred to Epstein as the “guy who never dies,” adding, “For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again.” He went on to ask why people were “giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden administration.”

“They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me, and now my so-called ‘friends’ are playing right into their hands,” Trump wrote. “Why didn’t these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it?”
