Fact check: Who is the attorney representing 70 epstein victims? Is it true that Donald Trump helped him during the 2009 epstein trials?

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, Brad Edwards has been identified as the attorney representing hundreds of Epstein's victims ^[1]. However, the specific claim about representing exactly "70 Epstein victims" is not confirmed in any of the sources analyzed. Additionally, Gloria Allred is mentioned as another attorney representing Epstein victims ^[2].

Regarding the second part of the question about Donald Trump helping an attorney during the 2009 Epstein trials, none of the sources analyzed provide any evidence or information supporting this claim. Multiple sources discuss the relationship between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein ^{[3] [4]}, but they do not mention Trump providing assistance to any attorney representing Epstein victims during the 2009 proceedings ^{[3] [5] [4]}.

The sources do reference the 2009 settlement between Virginia Giuffre and Jeffrey Epstein ^[6], and provide timelines of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation ^{[7] [8]}, but again, no connection to Trump helping victim attorneys is established.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks important context about the multiple attorneys who have represented Epstein victims over the years. While the question focuses on one attorney representing "70 victims," the reality appears more complex, with Brad Edwards representing hundreds of victims and Gloria Allred also representing clients in Epstein-related cases ^{[1] [2]}.

The question also omits the broader timeline context of Epstein legal proceedings. The sources reference various legal developments including settlement agreements from 2009 and ongoing investigations spanning 20 years ^{[6] [8]}, suggesting the legal landscape around Epstein cases has been extensive and multi-faceted.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement contains a potentially unsubstantiated claim about Donald Trump helping an attorney during the 2009 Epstein trials. Despite multiple sources analyzing Trump-Epstein relationships and timelines ^{[3] [4]}, no evidence was found to support this specific allegation. This could represent misinformation if the claim is being presented as fact without proper verification.

The specific number "70 victims" also appears to be unverified, as the sources identify attorneys representing "hundreds" of victims rather than this precise figure ^[1]. This discrepancy suggests the original question may be based on incomplete or inaccurate information about the scope of victim representation in Epstein cases.
