Elon Musk thinks he dropped the "bomb" on President Trump by claiming he's in the so-called Epstein files, but the defense attorney for the deceased sex criminal is calling BS on Musk.

David Schoen, one of Epstein's lawyers, tells TMZ ... the disgraced financier had nothing on Trump ... 'cause he says that's what Epstein straight up told him.

Schoen says, "What I can say definitively is that I discussed this subject with Mr. Epstein at a time when it would have been in his best interests to implicate others and he made clear that Donald Trump did nothing wrong and that he had no damaging information against him."

Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering 18th day of testimony resumed with "Jane" returning to the stand ... she told the jury about her reluctance to participate in alleged "hotel nights" -- their term for freak-offs.

You'll recall, "Jane" -- who is testifying under a pseudonym -- said she's a former girlfriend of Diddy's and was in a relationship with him from around 2021 until the music mogul was arrested in September. In the federal indictment, she's listed as "Victim-2."

On the stand Friday , she continued to field questions from prosecutors about her sexual relations with Diddy ... telling the jury they used the word "entertainers" to refer to male prostitutes who joined them during marathon drug-fueled multi-partner sex sessions, the so-called "freak-offs" mentioned throughout the trial. Jane testified Thursday the two of them called these sessions "hotel nights" ... though they were not always held at hotels.

Catch this clip ... Addison stormed the stage at NYC's The Box for a steamy, hands-on performance of "High Fashion" in collab with Spotify -- think sultry moves, breathy moans, and zero inhibitions.

It was a full-blown seduction show last night -- stool straddles, steamy hair flips, and sizzling chemistry with her backup dancers.

Addison’s clearly in her element -- the whole steamy siren act is now very much her brand as she trades in cutesy TikTok dances for full-blown pop star seduction.

Jason Biggs is getting real about his wild past with drugs and booze -- and he describes a night he was so out of hand, he ended up retrieving a bag of cocaine straight out of a stranger's trash can.

The actor spilled the tea on the "Well with Arielle Lorre" podcast, revealing that after shooting to fame with "American Pie" at age 19, he had cash, coke, and no one telling him "no" during his blackout coke and booze binge fiending phase -- not even his wife, Jenny Mollen.

He recalled snorting coke at 4 AM while his wife slept one night, and having anxiety about obligations he had later in the day ... so he tossed the baggie in his own trash to stop himself. But 15 minutes later, he came crawling back to dig it out and snort another line.

It all went down Thursday night at Busch Stadium out in The Lou. Lewan -- alongside his "Bussin' With The Boys" co-host Will Compton -- were given the honors of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch during the pregame festivities.

Donald Trump continued his war of words with Elon Musk Friday morning ... talking about his one-time adviser and campaign financier on a few news stations -- mostly dismissing this week's stunning fallout.

As TMZ previously reported ... Trump and Musk have been locked in a bitter social media feud, and it reached a boiling point yesterday when EM said via X that Trump is listed in the so-called Epstein Files -- there's no evidence of this, BTW -- and that's why they haven't been publicly released.

Later Thursday, Trump posted to Truth Social that he wasn't bothered Elon turned on him -- and he has bigger fish to fry ... which is essentially what he reiterated to CNN's Dana Bash Friday morning.

The alleged victim in the bizarre crypto kidnap-torture case is starring in yet another short film  -- but this time it's no sex tape ... but rather a new video of his daring escape from the "House of Horrors" in NYC.

As you may know, Weinstein has been receiving medical treatment at Bellevue for his multitude of illnesses while in custody.

In a snippet obtained by Fox 5 New York, he told Scotto, "I have regrets that I -- from my family -- through this, that I put my wife through this, that I acted immorally. I put so many friends through this and hurt people ... that were close to me, by the way, by actions that were stupid. But never illegal, never criminal, never anything."

Those ready to name A.D. the G.O.A.T. are in luck ... Aaron Donald spoke to TMZ Sports this week about his "best ever" candidacy -- and he made it clear, he's not going to fight anyone who wants to give him the label.

Donald, of course, retired from the NFL last year, and ever since he hung up his spikes ... fans have wondered if he has a legit claim to the title of greatest defensive player ever.
