Email Discussion on Attorney Fundraiser Controversy and Obama Administration Concerns (File 031339)
Email correspondence discussing a Fox News article about an attorney deemed too controversial to host a presidential fundraiser, with references to connections with Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton.
Summary
David Schoen forwards a Fox News article to jeeyacation@gmail.com describing how a prominent defense attorney was deemed unsuitable to host a fundraiser for President Obama due to representing a billionaire accused of sex trafficking who is close friends with Bill Clinton. The recipient responds critically about the attorney's credibility and media relations practices, suggesting his public relations team regularly seeks media coverage of his opinions regardless of his actual expertise on cases.
