David Schoen, a former Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein lawyer, said Attorney General Pam Bondi and other officials “jumped the gun a bit” in overhyping the Epstein files.
Schoen in an interview with BBC Newsnight on Thursday said there is no Epstein “client list” that would highlight connections between the disgraced financier and wealthy individuals.
“If someone were to think that there’s actually a list — which Jeffrey Epstein wrote down the name of, you fill in the name of the famous, wealthy person with some young girl — that just doesn’t exist,” he said.
He also suggested that Bondi and other officials created a hyped environment in terms of what might be included in the files that couldn’t be matched by what was released.
Schoen was careful to not blame President Trump for over-hyping the files. He said he thought Trump had called on the DOJ and FBI to release anything big they found, and that the others jumped the gun in how they described what was coming.
“I think what happened is, President Trump said he’s open to the idea, and it should be disclosed if there’s any such file that hasn’t been disclosed so far. But he didn’t know what was in it,” Schoen said.
“I think that maybe some of the others, the attorney general, director of the FBI, and so on, jumped the gun a bit. They were in favor, for good reasons, of disclosing and full transparency, but they didn’t know what they had yet,” he said.
