Trump's Lawyer Now Admits How Much Money He Made from Epstein's Plea Deal • Franknez.com

Alan Dershowitz, the Harvard law professor turned Trump impeachment defender, has finally put a number to the payday he pocketed for crafting Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous 2008 sweetheart plea deal: about $3 million.

The admission, dropped in a Bloomberg interview amid a fresh cache of Epstein’s emails, peels back another layer on the financier’s high-powered legal shield—and Dershowitz’s unapologetic role in it.

Dershowitz, who clocked in as one of Epstein’s go-to attorneys from 2003 to 2013, spilled the figure while downplaying the total $4 million Epstein shelled out to him over those years.

According to a forensic accountant’s report filed in court two years back, that chunk covered fees, but Dershowitz insisted roughly $1 million went straight to other lawyers and researchers.

“Epstein was dissatisfied with the deal I helped arrange,” he told Bloomberg.

“He wanted a misdemeanor with no jail time and no sex registration.”

Details of the Deal and Background of Story

That dissatisfaction boiled over into a fee spat, with Epstein firing Dershowitz and stiffing him on the final bill.

But they hashed it out eventually, as Dershowitz put it: “We ultimately resolved the fee issue.”

The whole saga resurfaced thanks to Bloomberg’s scoop on Epstein’s personal emails, which paint a vivid picture of the behind-the-scenes haggling that kept the sex offender out of the federal crosshairs.

Flash back to 2005 and 2006: Palm Beach cops and feds uncovered Epstein’s abuse of dozens of girls, some as young as 14.

Facing state prostitution charges and federal counts that could’ve meant life behind bars, Epstein turned to Dershowitz and a team that racked up over $54 million in total legal bills from 2003 to 2013.

Dershowitz helped broker a non-prosecution agreement with then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, letting Epstein cop to state felonies for an 18-month sentence he mostly slept off at home—13 months total, with work release and a sex offender tag tacked on, plus restitution to over 30 FBI-identified victims.

Dershowitz’s emails reveal a lawyer pulling no punches for his client. In a February 2006 sit-down with state prosecutors, he waved off the victims as “self-described prostitutes” who “don’t feel harmed” and were just “out for money,” per shorthand notes from the meeting.

He even pleaded Epstein’s case on the stress front: “He hasn’t slept in months,” Dershowitz said, adding, “I want to leave here and tell him we’ve got this resolved.”

A Troubling Past Comes Forward

The correspondence got weirder.

In September 2006, Dershowitz teamed up with Epstein to draft a letter to the financier’s inner circle, insisting, “NO, there was never any underage sex. Absolutely none.”

It wrapped with a character vouch: “When the full story finally comes out, the world will learn what we already know—that Jeffrey is a good person who does many good things.”

Dershowitz later told Bloomberg he didn’t even remember the note, framing it as standard advocacy: “They show that I was acting as any responsible lawyer should: making the case for my client.”

He griped that the emails were privileged and shouldn’t have seen daylight.Of course, the law doesn’t see it that way—girls too young to consent can’t legally sell sex, and the DOJ labels underage “prostitutes” as trafficking victims.

Epstein’s Florida dodge held until his 2019 New York arrest on federal sex trafficking charges, but he died by apparent suicide in jail before a judge could weigh the old deal’s reach.

Dershowitz, now 86 and a vocal Trump backer who led the president’s first impeachment defense, has long denied any Epstein dirt, even settling a defamation suit from one accuser who claimed he was part of the abuse.

This latest drop won’t help his image, especially as Epstein’s files teeter on a House vote that could spill more secrets.

For a guy who’s built a career on defending the indefensible, admitting to that $3 million haul feels like just another chapter in a story that refuses to fade.
