The lawyer for one of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein said President Trump was the “only” high powered person to help him with his investigation, contradicting claims by some that Trump is implicated in Epstein’s crimes.
Epstein was arrested on Saturday night on charges of sex trafficking of minors.
Speculation is now raging as to which of Epstein’s influential friends will be caught up in the scandal, with Nancy Pelosi’s daughter tweeting, “It is quite likely that some of our faves are implicated.”
Others have claimed that Trump is implicated because he was socially connected to Epstein at one time and was pictured with him in 2000.
However, Florida attorney Bradley Edwards, who represented one of Epstein’s accusers, said that Trump was the only important person to go out of his way to help Edwards with his investigation back in 2009.
“The only thing that I can say about President Trump is that he is the only person who, in 2009 when I served a lot of subpoenas on a lot of people, or at least gave notice to some pretty connected people, that I want to talk to them, is the only person who picked up the phone and said, let’s just talk,” said Edwards.
“I’ll give you as much time as you want. I’ll tell you what you need to know, and was very helpful, in the information that he gave, and gave no indication whatsoever that he was involved in anything untoward whatsoever, but had good information. That checked out and that helped us and we didn’t have to take a deposition of him in 2009.”
Following Epstein’s arrest, some have tried to play up President Trump’s connection to the disgraced billionaire, despite Epstein having far closer ties to people like Bill Clinton.
In 2002, Trump said Epstein “likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
However, unlike some, Trump immediately ostracized Epstein once he discovered the truth about his double life.
According to one report, Trump once kicked Epstein out of his Mar-a-lago club after he caught Epstein hitting on a young girl.
Opposition research firm Fusion GPS also once attempted to discover a close connection between Epstein and Trump but failed.
Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express” private jet ferried powerful clients to his private island, “Little St. James.” Former President Bill Clinton used the plane 26 times in just three years.

After failing to convince even 40 percent of her own constituents to vote for her, Liz Cheney suggested Wednesday that she might try running for President.
Cheney made the comments on the TODAY show, stating “That’s a decision I’m going to make in the coming months… It is something I’m thinking about.”
Cheney also declared “I will do whatever it takes to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office.”

When Liz Cheney says “I will do whatever it takes to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office." Is it any wonder most of us think the January 6 Committee is a Stalinist show trial. She is so bitterly anti-Trump how could she be trusted?
As host Savannah Guthrie noted, Cheney will lead an organisation that will mount a “unified effort” to prevent Trump from running for President.
“In coming weeks, Liz will be launching an organization to educate the American people about the ongoing threat to our Republic, and to mobilize a unified effort to oppose any Donald Trump campaign for president,” Cheney spokesperson Jeremy Adler told Politico.
Surely this will all just help Trump.
In her speech earlier this week as it became clear she had lost in a landslide, Cheney actually compared herself to Abraham Lincoln:

Experts are increasingly of the belief that the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago will actually serve to help Donald Trump’s chances of becoming president again in the long run.
Federal agents searched Trump’s Florida home last week, ostensibly to recover classified documents, although the incident is widely being seen as yet another underhanded effort to prevent Trump from running for office again.
Describing the raid as an “assault on a political opponent,” Trump claimed yesterday that the FBI “stole” three of his passports as well as ransacking his wife Melania’s wardrobe.
Experts are increasingly coming around to the view that the raid will in fact bolster Trump’s re-election chances.
“Unless Donald Trump is convicted of one or more felonies before November 2024, he is now, on paper, a much stronger contender than he was before the Mar-a-Lago raid,” said former hedge fund manager and political commentator Charles Ortel.
“Whether you like Donald Trump or loathe him… you must understand that running the Federal Bureau of Investigation like a Stasi or Gestapo is so far beyond acceptable that it is worse than laughable,” he added.
Ortel thinks the Mar-a-Lago raid is a “remember the Alamo” moment and that it will “pull levers at the polls” for Trump at the next election.
“After the looming anti-Democrat deluge, there will be an accounting against all who have trampled the Constitution. This project will continue through and after November 2024,” said Ortel.
Political analyst Sam Hussein broadly agreed with Ortel’s view that the raid will backfire.
“This keeps the focus on Trump. It adds yet another dimension to the myriad of ways liberals have obsessed over ‘getting him’ or seeming to at apparently any cost. But he feeds off the notoriety,” Hussein told Sputnik.
As we highlighted yesterday, GOP Pennsylvania Representative Scott Perry warned that everyday Americans should now plan for “tyranny” to enter their homes in the form of federal agents if they refuse to play nice with the authorities.
In addition to the Trump raid, Americans are angered by the Biden administration’s funding of tens of thousands of new IRS agents, who we now learn are being trained to use “deadly force” against citizens.
