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.
“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.”
I know this is being taken as a sign of Trump's innocence, but it hit me a little differently. By volunteering information, and good information, he avoided being deposed. He also exerted some control over the direction of the investigation. As a bonus it puts him in a lot of good graces. This could have been just a smart and highly strategic move.
I wouldn't be surprised if this went either way for Trump. He is pretty far from saintly but whether he is a monster like all the others is yet to be seen. I hope not but that doesn't count for much these days.
