(Trial resumed; jury not present)
THE COURT: All right. Matters to take up, counsel,
includes the Rule 16/608, as I see it, issue. And then I want
to see where you are in terms of working out anticipated
personal identifying information of witnesses who I've given
permission to testify under pseudonyms to protect their
privacy.
So let's begin.
Ms. Menninger, did you want to begin with the Rule 16
issue?
MS. MENNINGER: I think Mr. Everdell was going to
handle that piece.
THE COURT: Okay.
Ms. Comey, are you taking this?
MR. ROHRBACH: I'm taking this one, your Honor.
THE COURT: You all swapped off.
So I think the defense is clearly right that if we are
talking by impeachment by contradiction, that is to say,
impeachment, direct contradiction of something testified to on
the stand, it's not required to be disclosed as case-in-chief
material under Rule 16; and depending on what it is, it's
likely not 608 because it's impeachment by contradiction, not
impeachment to show -- extrinsic evidence to show a character
for dishonesty and the like.
So the question is whether it's impeachment or not.

And I still don't fully understand the photograph of the street
that the witness read the line from saying, That's the address
where we lived, how that's impeachment. That remains an open
question in my mind.
But otherwise, Mr. Rohrbach, do you disagree with
anything I've just said as to the state of the law?
MR. ROHRBACH: No, I think that that's a correct
statement of the law, your Honor.
The issue with the photograph is it wasn't established
that that satisfied any of the theories of impeachment; and so
if the defense is offering it for some other purpose, that
purpose would be part of the defense's case-in-chief and,
therefore, subject to Rule 16 or an attack on the witness's
character for truthfulness, which would be barred by 608.
THE COURT: Right.
But the, I'll charitably call it, theory offered
yesterday that anything that's not part of the case-in-chief
somehow then falls under 608 as extrinsic, you've walked away
from that.
MR. ROHRBACH: Yes -- the theory really is that it has
to satisfy some proper basis of impeachment for extrinsic
evidence. So it's true that there are more than two paths,
yes, your Honor.
THE COURT: All right. So just to get to the
photograph, as I see it, the witness's testimony -- and tell

me -- I don't know if this is Mr. Everdell or Ms. Menninger.
MR. EVERDELL: It's me, your Honor.
THE COURT: Okay.
The witness testified, I believe, that at the time
that she met Epstein and Ms. Maxwell, that she was living with
her family in a pool house and she described that as homeless;
correct?
MR. EVERDELL: And she said that she lived in one
place, I believe, continuously for her childhood. The
testimony, what you just said, is accurate.
THE COURT: Right. So then you've got the FBI 302 in
which she said that she lived at a certain address at the time
that she met them; correct?
MR. EVERDELL: That's right.
THE COURT: I think there's a question of whether that
statement comes in as a prior inconsistent statement. I don't
know that that was moved. But she said, in any event, she
looked at it and it was a typo; so she addressed the apparent
discrepancy, as I heard it. I'm not sure if you wanted to move
the statement in as a prior inconsistent statement and let the
jury resolve that dispute.
But we moved on then to a current photograph of a
street that had writing on it, an address and a date, and she
said that's the street I lived in -- that's the street I lived
on, which it just -- I think it suffered from a lot of

problems, but certainly wasn't directly impeaching of her
testimony.
MR. EVERDELL: Your Honor, I'm sorry. I just -- see
if we could back up.
Have we moved beyond the Rule 16 issue at this point
and we're just talking about --
THE COURT: Well, if it's impeaching, then there's not
a Rule 16 issue. As I sit here, I don't know -- I don't see
that it's impeaching; so that if it's not impeaching, I'm not
sure what you're doing with it and it may be a Rule 16 issue.
MR. EVERDELL: If I can address that, your Honor,
because I think we disagree with what the state of the law is.
I think there's some disagreement on the courts about whether
or not if the defense is going to introduce something or talk
about something on cross-examination, whether that is
considered a Rule 16 document.
So what I understand the case law to be, your Honor,
is that they are trying to deal with the issue of where the
defense is trying to introduce affirmative proof in its own
case through the government's own witnesses.
THE COURT: For sure. Which is, let's face it,
usually what happens. There's often not a defense case. Both
cross-examination and impeachment testimony, as well as
affirmative evidence, comes in through cross-examination.
So I think the cases that say there's not a clear

temporal time split, that is to say, you don't have to put on
your first witness, is not the question; it's a functional
question, are you putting on evidence in your case-in-chief as
opposed to impeachment testimony.
MR. EVERDELL: I think that's right, your Honor.
Let's give an example, because I think it's helpful to
use examples. I'll use one from this very case.
It's my understanding that the government wants to
introduce certain FedEx records through a FedEx document
custodian. The defense also would like to introduce other
FedEx records, coincidentally, through the same document
custodian. So if that happens, you'd have a witness called by
the government, the defense would want to introduce affirmative
proof in its case through that same witness. That would be
defense case-in-chief material which, by the way, we disclosed
in our Rule 16 letter to the government. That's an example, I
think, where the courts are talking about where you disclose
things -- where you have a witness where you are trying to put
on affirmative proof in the defense case through the
government's witness. That is an example where we don't
dispute.
I'll give another example. This is a hypothetical
one. Larry Visoski just testified. He was shown a number of
pictures of Little St. James Island where there were
structures, houses on the island. And he testified to those,

and those were introduced.
If we hypothetically had photos of that same island
before those houses were built, we don't, but if we did and we
wanted to introduce those through Larry Visoski, again, that
would be affirmative defense in the defense case-in-chief
introduced through the government's witness. That would be
Rule 16 which we'd have to disclose ahead of time.
THE COURT: Right.
MR. EVERDELL: Now, what we are talking about here is
what Witness 1, what Jane, remembers about the childhood, about
these events; it's about her recollection of everything, and
that is critical to the case. So misremembering details,
misremembering where she lived, not being able to recognize a
house, that all goes to her credibility as a witness, her
believability, any contradiction.
This is central to the case. Her memory of every
single detail of her childhood is central to the case, and that
is not case-in-chief material. That is, if she testifies to
something and we think we have something that contradicts what
she just said, like a photograph of her -- of a place where she
lived as a child, but she didn't seem to remember, that's
impeachment material. And we don't know if we're going to use
that until she says on the stand what she says on the stand.
We have it ready to go in case she says that, and she did in
this case, and so that's why we were able to use it or try to

use it, to show that she doesn't have an accurate recollection.
That is pure impeachment material.
THE COURT: Up to the point where you said it
contradicted what she said on the stand, you and I were in
vigorous agreement.
MR. EVERDELL: Okay.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. EVERDELL: All right.
Well, what I would say is that we can't -- no, this is
not -- it's not as if we were going to introduce the photograph
of her house in our case-in-chief. We are doing this -- we had
it ready to be able to use it in case she said something that
we believe was contradictory and contradicted by the
photograph. So that's why we did not disclose it ahead of
time, because we believed it to be impeachment material.
By the way, Judge, I'll just note for the record that
when we sent our Rule 16 discovery several weeks ago to the
government, we included a cover letter, which I'm happy to
share with the Court --
THE COURT: I can imagine it reserved all your rights.
And you can keep talking, but we remain in agreement.
MR. EVERDELL: Okay. And it cited all the cases that
we cited, and it said we do not consider impeachment material
or refreshing material case-in-chief material.
THE COURT: It is true. I think, Mr. Rohrbach agrees.

The only question in any specific instance is is it impeaching,
and is it a prior inconsistent statement. We have to deal with
the rules around a prior inconsistent statement. It wasn't
like you had deposition testimony. You had an FBI agent's
write-up of notes which the witness was confronted with and
said it was a mistake. Again, that wasn't moved in, but we can
deal with that as it comes.
There could be -- not here, but there could be 608
issues if you're trying to use extrinsic evidence. If what we
have is impeaching by contradiction, impeachment of what the
witness testified to on the stand, then it's not going to be a
608 issue.
MR. EVERDELL: If we're impeaching the witness, yes,
that's right. And I just want to address the issue of
impeaching with extrinsic evidence, which I know the government
has raised. That rule is -- and the cases they cite --
THE COURT: I know you cited Rule 613. I hadn't
understood their argument to be about 613.
MR. EVERDELL: They raised in their papers the notion
that you can't impeach -- or you can't use extrinsic evidence
to impeach. But the rule there and the cases they've cited
stand for the unremarkable proposition that you can't
impeach -- or you can't use extrinsic evidence on a collateral
matter.
THE COURT: Correct.

MR. EVERDELL: Her memory about anything to do with
this time period is not a collateral matter; she is a central
witness to this case.
THE COURT: Well, again, I don't adopt that broad
statement. But to the extent you are attempting to impeach --
so you have something that contradicts what she testified to on
the stand, then it's not a Rule 16 issue, I doubt it's a 613 --
a 608 issue. We may have to deal with 613 questions and what
it is that we're looking at.
MR. EVERDELL: Again, it's also not a 608 issue, I'd
say, your Honor, because that rule deals with conduct.
THE COURT: I said it's not a 608 issue.
MR. EVERDELL: Yes. Okay. I agree with you.
MR. ROHRBACH: I'm a little confused, your Honor.
I think we're agreeing that, as your Honor said, if
it's offered for impeachment with a proper basis for
impeachment and it's not about a collateral matter, then they
didn't have to disclose it in Rule 16. If it's to advance the
defense case, whether in the government's case or in the
defense case, then it should have been disclosed in Rule 16.
There are things that the defense might expect to
offer for impeachment, but that might be impeachment about a
collateral matter or might be impeachment, but is not, in fact,
based on a contradiction or some other proper theory of
impeachment, in which case it is not an admissible exhibit.

The government also doesn't agree with the defense's
broad statement that anything that goes to this witness's
memory is a noncollateral matter. It's hard for us to know now
exactly what they plan to do. The government thinks we should
take that as it comes. But I think there's sort of broad
agreement about the general principles here, your Honor.
MR. EVERDELL: If there's broad agreement, your Honor,
then there shouldn't be objections. If we have an issue with
the witness's memory that we believe we have a document or some
other information that contradicts what she's saying, then we
are allowed to cross on it.
THE COURT: Okay. We'll take it as it comes, but we
agree on the principles. I think the only question is -- I
sustained the objection to admission of the photograph, because
it's not clear to me that it's impeaching. As I said, if it's
not impeaching, then it might be a Rule 16 issue; I wasn't
entirely sure what you were trying to do with it.
You're welcome to -- if there's some basis to show a
photograph, to impeach something she suggested in her
testimony, then you can do that.
MR. EVERDELL: Yes.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. EVERDELL: Understood.
MR. ROHRBACH: The government agrees, your Honor. The
issue with that particular photograph, setting aside the fact

that the witness couldn't recognize it, and there are other
questions about admissibility than just whether it's relevant
or impeaching, is that it wasn't a direct contradiction of
anything the witness said on the stand; so it wasn't a proper
basis for impeachment. And if it advanced the defense case in
some other way, it would have been a Rule 16 --
THE COURT: What is the government's understanding of
when the witness lived at the address that's referenced in the
302?
MR. ROHRBACH: If I may ask Ms. Moe, who's taking the

THE COURT: Sure.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
I don't recall the particular date, but I think the
witness was beginning to clarify on cross-examination yesterday
that at some point while she was a teenager living in Palm
Beach, she moved to the second address. I don't recall the
specific date --
THE COURT: And you say the second address, what do
you mean?
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
THE COURT: I guess what do you mean by the first
address, do you mean the pool house?
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. I believe the witness
would explain that at the time that all of this --

THE COURT: Could you pull up the microphone.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. I apologize.
THE COURT: Even though we're three days in, I still
can't hear you without the mic.
MS. MOE: I'm sorry.
THE COURT: That's okay.
MS. MOE: I believe the witness would explain that
when all of this began when she was 14, she was living in a
pool house because of her family's financial circumstances.
But at some point during the years that followed, her family
moved to a second house.
THE COURT: And that's the address listed in the 302,
as you understand it?
MS. MOE: I don't recall offhand whether that's the
particular address. I'd want to review the 3500. But I
believe the witness was clarifying that she lived at a second
house.
THE COURT: Okay. All right.
MR. EVERDELL: Your Honor, I'm sorry.
I believe -- and I'm checking this right now, but I
believe the address she put on her 1994 Interlochen application
was the address we were showing her the photograph of. And
she's saying she's in a pool house or homeless. So I think
this is impeaching. I think this goes directly --
THE COURT: Again, she said she lived -- they move in

the application. All she said about the photograph was, That's
the address that I lived in. And so we just don't have a --
she looked at your photograph, she looked at the address
written on it; she said that's the address where I lived.
That's not yet in contradiction to her statement, because
there's a timeline issue. But you can try, again, to see if
there's a basis for impeachment.
MR. EVERDELL: All right. I'll leave it to
Ms. Menninger, who's going to be doing the cross.
THE COURT: Okay.
Any questions about that, Ms. Menninger?
MS. MENNINGER: No, your Honor. I think I can ask her
questions today that explain when she lived where --
THE COURT: Great.
MS. MENNINGER: -- what was on her applications. What
she said in her 302, which was already discussed on the record,
is that she lived in the same place from the time she met
Epstein until she moved to New York. That was her statement.
She continued on --
THE COURT: You mean that's the statement recorded in
the 302.
MS. MENNINGER: That is one of the statements recorded
in the 302 verbatim.
THE COURT: Right. Sorry, verbatim. She said it was
a typo. It's a type-up of agents' notes, is it not?

MS. MENNINGER: It's a type-up of the agent's notes.
We also have the agent's handwritten notes.
The next sentence -- then I'll explain what I think we
may get to. The next sentence, she says, That home was a
three-bedroom home in a gated community called Bear Lake,
something like that. Those were the two statements that were
typed up in the agent's 302.
THE COURT: Okay.
MS. MENNINGER: And in the handwritten notes.
She's had a chance to explain it; in her mind, it's a
typo. We have those agents on call to be witnesses, and they
can talk about whether it was a typo or not a typo. I mean, I
think that's the state of play in terms of contradicting a
witness with a prior inconsistent statement.
THE COURT: Okay. Anything else on that?
MR. ROHRBACH: Nothing from the government.
MR. EVERDELL: No, your Honor. Thank you.
THE COURT: Do we have issues to take up around
specific identifying information?
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
Just to provide the Court with an update on the status
of our conferral with defense counsel, defense counsel provided
the government with a list of certain topics this morning,
which we appreciated; and we had a productive conversation this
morning about a number of those topics, and I think I've

narrowed the scope of any disagreement.
There are two remaining topics. And I think we've
agreed that before those topics are raised at a break or before
the jury comes out, we're going to confer with the witness's
counsel just to confirm what issues might be identifying as to
those two particular issues. I'm hopeful that we'll be able to
resolve any disagreement there, but we want to just work that
out before that comes out before the jury. And I think there
are one or two issues that we've agreed that won't be raised
without a sidebar in advance to discuss them.
THE COURT: Okay. Is there no way to do that now
while we're waiting for our jurors or --
MS. MOE: Your Honor, I think defense counsel's
preference was to do that at a sidebar.
THE COURT: It's here.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
THE COURT: I just meant I'm happy to do it at the
sidebar, to the extent we're referencing the specific
identifying information. I just meant as a time saver can we
do it now.
MS. MENNINGER: I think there are two of the three
that we can do now; but the third one depends on what the
witness says, your Honor.
THE COURT: Okay.
Let me just get a check on our juror numbers.

MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
Just to be clear, I think two of those topics were
ones that we wanted to just confer with the witness's attorney
about, because there may not be any disagreement; we just
wanted to confer with him to ensure we have that right.
I think there was one remaining topic that defense
counsel preferred to raise as it arises during the course of
cross-examination. That's what I meant by at sidebar.
Apologies.
THE COURT: Okay. So is there anything we can discuss
now at the sidebar or no?
MS. MENNINGER: There's two of the three we can
discuss at sidebar. I'm happy -- if the witness's counsel
wants to join us at the sidebar and weigh in on what counsel
thinks is identifying or not as we discuss it.
THE COURT: My preference would be for you to confer
first and then let me know.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor, that's what we would
propose.
THE COURT: Okay.
MS. MOE: Thank you.

similar to the government and similar to what Mr. Everdell did
yesterday, 18 binders that have potentially admissible sealed
exhibits in them we would like to place under the jurors'
chairs, consistent with the practice on prior witnesses, to
only have them directed to a particular tab when and if the
Court admits a particular document that has identifying
information contained in it, if that's okay with your Honor.
THE COURT: Ms. Moe, is that fine with you?
MS. MOE: Your Honor, may I have just one moment?
(Counsel conferred)
MS. MOE: No, your Honor. Thank you.
THE COURT: Fine. Okay. So you can place the
binders. Anything else we can take up now, Ms. Menninger?
MS. MENNINGER: No, your Honor. I'm just going to
approach the witness stand at some point and re-place the
binder on the witness stand.
THE COURT: You may do that.
Ms. Moe, anything we can take up now?
MS. MOE: No, your Honor.
THE COURT: All right. I will step down.
I appreciate counsel conferring on the anonymity
issues and working through as much as you could. I greatly
appreciate that. I will see you in a few minutes.

Anything to take up?
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
I just wanted to report to the Court, we had a chance
to confer about those two issues. We've narrowed the scope of
disagreement to just one issue after conferring with the
witness's counsel, which we'd like to raise at sidebar. I
don't know how soon that will come up, so I defer to defense
counsel whether to do that now or whether it would be more
efficient to bring the jury out and deal with that at a break.
There's a second issue to flag, but let me just pause
there on that to see.
THE COURT: Sure.
Is it anytime soon, Ms. Menninger?
MS. MENNINGER: I don't think so, but I don't have it
all memorized.
THE COURT: Understand. Let's hope we get to the
break and then we'll take it.
What else?
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
Defense counsel provided the government with a number
of exhibits, and we appreciated the chance to review those in
order to raise issues in advance. We just wanted to flag that
for two of those we anticipate there being a Rule 408
objection. Again, I don't know how quickly that will arise, so
I just wanted to alert that to the Court. We can take that up

as it arises, but wanted to bring that to the Court's
attention.
In addition, defense counsel has notified the
government that they've provided binders of defense materials
for the jurors. It appears that -- we have not had a chance to
review those materials, but based on a sampling that defense
counsel has provided to the government, it appears a large
number of them are things like printouts from the internet and
otherwise. So we have concerns about jurors flipping through a
binder that would appear to contain a wide array of materials
that would not be admissible. And because we haven't examined
that binder, we have concerns about that.
I don't want to delay bringing the jury out, and so I
would just ask for an opportunity to be heard about that before
the jurors bring out any binders and begin flipping through
them.
MS. MENNINGER: I'm going to be asking them to look at
the binders at the outset at the beginning exhibits. I think
we've all come to believe --
THE COURT: We're going to keep doing what we've been
doing, which is before the jury turns to it, the defense will
tell us what it is. If you have an objection before they turn
to it, you'll raise it and we'll deal with it.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. Thank you.

that regard that we can --
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
I think materials like printouts from the internet,
things like tabloid articles, Wikipedia pages, we don't think
are appropriate as exhibits before the jury, and so we would
object to exhibits of that nature.
In addition, the samples that we've been provided
include --
THE COURT: Doesn't it depend what it's being used --
you have an internet objection, is that the -- what's the
grounds for a blanket objection to internet material?
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
I agree that we'll have to take these as they come.
Thinking ahead, we can't conceive of a basis for offering
things like Wikipedia articles with this witness or tabloid
articles with this witness, but we recognize the Court will
have to address that as it comes because we're not quite sure
what the defense argument would be. We mostly just wanted to
give the Court a preview of those issues that we anticipate
arising.
THE COURT: Okay.
MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, I feel like I'm trying to
give them stuff in advance so they can be prepared and we can
move this proceeding more quickly, but it will only come up
when and if it comes up.

THE COURT: All right. Then we'll take it -- I'm
going to try to minimize sidebars, so we have to keep moving.
My request always is if there are things that you
think are likely to require a discussion to address
admissibility, that you do raise them in advance. Confer. If
you disagree, raise them.
I think at this point we'll bring out the jury. I'll
ask you to keep trying to do that as we go, so we use our time
efficiently. But it makes no sense to have the jury sitting
idly now.

A.
Yes.
Q.
And she was presently on the -- formerly, I'm sorry, a
director of the Professional Children's School; correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
And that's the school that you ultimately went to in New
York for senior year, right?
A.
Yeah.
Q.
And she was glowing in her support of your application to
go to Interlochen when you were 13 years old; correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
I want to direct your attention to the last page in that
exhibit, page 11. If I could have you read the third full
paragraph; but, of course, omit your family name from that
reading. If you could read it out loud.
A.
The third paragraph?
Q.
Yes, that begins with "Each."
A.
Each child has their own individual personality and talent,
but all three reflect the qualities of a strong, loving family
background. The arts have always been a common interest with
music as a binding love. The family organized and underwrote
an annual charity performance for our school. After attending
their Feastival of Lights, our school community has always felt
we had witnessed the rebirth of the von Trapp family.
Q.
The von Trapp family, is that right?
A.
Yes.

A.
Yes.
Q.
I also believe, just in case it wasn't audible, it said
that you and your two brothers came from a strong and loving
family background; is that right?
A.
That's what it says.
Q.
I want to turn to -- and we could show for the Court --
what's been marked for identification as J-4. But you're
certainly welcome, Jane, to turn to that in paper form.
THE COURT: Not the jurors.

MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, at this time I'm moving

MS. MOE: No objection, your Honor. We would just ask
that it be under seal and that any identifying information not
be read into the record.

under seal consistent with my ruling that this witness may
testify under pseudonym. And if any reference -- if any
reading of the document occurs, everyone is admonished not to
use the identifying information.

A.
Yes. So I was sitting -- it was only the three of us
having tea, yes. I don't recall if Ghislaine was in the house.
Q.
Well, what you said to the government in October of 2021 at
3509-28 in the handwritten notes is, it was just Epstein, mom
and you present, correct?
MS. MOE: Again, your Honor, I think we've been over
reading documents that are not in evidence.
THE COURT: That statement is not inconsistent, so
I'll sustain the objection with respect to that statement.
Q.
At the first tea, the only people there were you and your
mom and Epstein, correct?
A.
Yes.
Q.
You never reported to the government that Ms. Maxwell was
present for the tea, correct?
A.
That's right.
Q.
During the conversation, Epstein told you he gives
scholarships and mentors people, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
He said he does that; not we do that, correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
And he did not refer to Ms. Maxwell at all during your
initial meeting with him, correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
Wasn't a part of the conversation?
A.
No.

After this tea with your mother, you went back to Epstein's
house, correct?

MS. MOE: I object to just reading documents.
THE COURT: Let me see it. Let me see it before you
read, I'll see it, okay? And then you can make your objection,
Ms. Moe, and I'll rule.
MS. MOE: Thank you, your Honor.
THE COURT: Let me have the passage first.
MS. MENNINGER: It's going to be in 3509-001 on the
second page, in the fourth paragraph beginning in the middle of
the paragraph.
THE COURT: Ms. Moe?
MS. MOE: Your Honor, if the question is whether she
made that statement, we have no objection.
THE COURT: Go ahead.
MS. MENNINGER: Thank you.
Q.
What you said to Ms. Moe and the agents was, "In the
beginning, I would be with my mother and brothers at Epstein's
house," correct?
A.
I don't recall that.
Q.
You told the government nothing about your mother wasn't
invited back to Epstein's house, correct?
A.
I don't recall.
Q.
And you talked thereafter about being driven repeatedly to
Epstein's house by a chauffeur who was a sweet Latin American

Q.
And you said that that sweet Latin American man picked you
up every week or two while you were 14, 15 and 16 years old?
A.
Correct.
Q.
So approximately a hundred times he picked you up over
three years every week or two. That's your testimony, correct?
A.
I'm not good at math, but I wouldn't recall how many times.
Q.
Well, you testified under oath yesterday --
A.
Okay.
Q.
-- that it was every week or two for three years, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
All right. You were asked yesterday by the government how
these meetings at Epstein's house were typically arranged. Do
you remember that question?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And you said yesterday it was Ghislaine calling the house
or Jeffrey's office calling the house like an assistant or
something. Do you remember that testimony?
A.
Yes.
Q.
That's not what you told the government in November of 2019
when you met with them then. And if we could turn to 3509-003
at page 1, fourth paragraph?
MS. MOE: I'm sorry, I didn't hear the number.

not sure if Maxwell ever called you to make appointments,
correct?
A.
I don't recall. I don't know.
Q.
And then on the next page in the same interview in the
first paragraph, same document, next page, you said, "When in
Florida, Epstein or his office would call your house," right?
A.
I guess so.
Q.
You didn't say Maxwell would call your house, right?
A.
I guess -- I don't know. I guess so.
Q.
And so two years later, now you remember that Ghislaine
called your home to make appointments, right?
A.
Right.
Q.
That memory has come back to you in the last two years?
A.
Well, memory is not linear.
Q.
Do you remember that Mr. Epstein came to your house for
dinner?
A.
Yes.
Q.
In Bear Lakes Estate?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Right? And he came to your house with your mother and your
brothers there, correct?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Ghislaine was not there?
A.
No.

of your meeting with Mr. Epstein, right?
A.
Right.
Q.
And it was a year or two after meeting Epstein that he came
to your house for dinner, correct?
A.
I don't know the timeline, but it was at the new house.
Q.
Well, in February of 2020, you told the government -- this
is at 3509-008, page 12.
THE COURT: What paragraph?
Q.
The fourth full paragraph beginning with the word "this."
At the end of that paragraph -- I'm sorry -- the middle of that
paragraph is that you said to the government, "They visited you
one to two times at your house in Florida. This was about a
year or two after meeting him," correct?
A.
Correct, I guess.
Q.
So then you remembered it was a year or two, but you don't
remember it today. Is that right?
A.
Well, I'm trying to be very accurate, so I don't know. I
just know it's at the new house.
Q.
And the dinner that you had at your house was prior to any
abuse?
A.
That's not true.

(At the sidebar)
MS. MOE: Thank you, your Honor. And I apologize for
asking for a sidebar, but I'm hoping this will streamline
things. The issue is at a number of times the witness has
testified that she doesn't recall, and instead of showing the
witness the document and asking if that refreshes her
recollection, which is the only thing that would be proper at
that juncture, I believe counsel is now just reading reports
into the record, which is not proper.
THE COURT: Well, the question was yesterday you
testified --
(Pause)
THE COURT: So, yes, she said she didn't remember if
Epstein directed where they sat.
MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, under 613, I'm not
obligated to show the witness a prior statement before I ask
her about it. I have to give her an opportunity --
THE COURT: She said she didn't remember. What's the
inconsistency?
MS. MENNINGER: Well, your Honor, her not remembering
I don't have to refresh her recollection. Her memory is at
issue in this case. If she can't remember what she said a
month ago or two months ago or a year ago, that's relevant to
the jury's determination. Then we can put on evidence through
other witnesses that that is in fact what she said to the

government on that date.
THE COURT: Your theory is everything that she -- when
you ask her, "What did you say on this date to the government,"
she says, "I don't remember."
MS. MENNINGER: Her story has changed like a hundred
thousand times, and that is exactly what the problem is here,
your Honor.
THE COURT: Well, here's the problem: There is a way
you can get in her story has changed, but what you're doing and
what -- I don't know what the limits to this would be. You're
asking her very specific questions about multiple instances of
reporting, and when she said "I don't remember what I said in
that moment," you're then introducing the statements of what
she said.
MS. MENNINGER: I can say, isn't it true that you said
this? That's the other way to phrase it.
THE COURT: You could say "do you recall saying this
to the government"? If she says no, then you move on.
MS. MENNINGER: Right. That's all I've been doing.
THE COURT: Is that right?
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. I think we're talking
about two different scenarios. The first is, for example, if
Ms. Menninger asked the witness, "Did this meeting happen on a
particular date" or you know "were you living in the blue
house" for example. If the witness says, "I don't remember,"

then we're talking about refreshing her recollection with a
document. If the witness says something that Ms. Menninger
believes to be inconsistent with a prior statement, the
question then is instead, not a document, but do you recall --
like isn't it true that you told the government X? And if the
witness says, "I don't remember that," then that's the record.
If the witness says, "Yes, I said that," then that's the
impeachment.
The documents themselves are impeachment by collateral
material. The proper way to do this is to ask the witness
whether she said something or not. If she denies it, then the
way to do that is through the witnesses to that meeting, and
not by asking the witness to read a document that she didn't
prepare into the record, which is what's happening.
THE COURT: Well, what I understand you to be saying
is you want first her to show it to her and see if it refreshes
her recollection.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor, if she says she doesn't
recall. If she denies the fact and the point is to impeach her
with a fact of a prior inconsistent statement --
THE COURT: Well, I think the window of disagreement
is not just an inconsistent statement but that she doesn't
recall -- no, I think you're right. So if she doesn't recall
what she said in a meeting, you can refresh her recollection as
to what she said. If she says, "I didn't say that" or "I don't

recall," you can say, "Didn't you say the following to the FBI
agent," and then --
MS. MENNINGER: So I believe that I do not have to
refresh for impeachment, but I can ask her --
THE COURT: You're claiming that because she doesn't
recall what she said, it's an inconsistent statement. There's
not an inconsistency there.
MS. MENNINGER: So, I can ask her, "Did you say this?"
She can say, "I don't recall." And then I can say, "Isn't it
true you said it on this date?" And she can say, "No, I
didn't" or "I still don't recall."
THE COURT: Every trial I've been to with these
materials I've presided over -- and there's been a lot in ten
years -- this precise thing happens. You testified X. Didn't
you tell the agent some variation of x or Y.
I don't remember way said to the agent.
You show them the 302. Does that refresh your
recollection, or didn't you -- and didn't you say if it doesn't
refresh your recollection and then you get to do precisely what
you're doing.
MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, may I get the statute book
because it says right in 613.

and what the date of the interview was, and nobody liked that.
So today I tried --
THE COURT: I don't think I sustained an objection to
that.
MS. MENNINGER: Well, I said here's the date and then
there was an objection at the time. But in Rule 613(a), it
says: When showing or disposing the statement during
examination. When examining a witness about the witness' prior
statement, a party need not show it or disclose its contents to
the witness. But the party must on request show it or disclose
its contents to an adversary party's attorney.
And so because I don't believe I have to show it to
her. If I want to prove it later with extrinsic evidence, she
has to be given an opportunity to explain or deny the statement
and the adversary party is given an opportunity to examine the
witness about it. That's the way I read that rule.
THE COURT: So the extrinsic evidence of a witness'
prior inconsistent statement. My point is if she says she
doesn't remember, it's not an inconsistent statement. You have
to get to a point of inconsistency.
MS. MENNINGER: Here is the inconsistency.
THE COURT: When you're doing it based on what she
testified to yesterday, if there's a difference, yes.
MS. MENNINGER: That's what I've been trying to do.
THE COURT: Here you're saying on this date you said

Epstein told you where to sit. She says, "I don't remember."
It's not an inconsistent statement. That's the difference.
Then you can refresh her on what she said. But if what you're
doing is -- right? What's inconsistent about you saying, "You
said X to the agent," and she says, "I don't remember." Is
that an inconsistency?
MS. MENNINGER: The statement that she gave yesterday
versus what her statement to the agent that's what I'm trying.
THE COURT: I let you do that. I let you do that.
Just now the example that drew the objection you said Epstein
didn't -- you told the agent you didn't sit next to Epstein and
she said "I don't remember."
MS. MENNINGER: Okay. So I will show her for that
type of example --
THE COURT: But I agree with you if you have a prior
statement that is inconsistent with testimony, that's when
we're there.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor and in that scenario, it's a
question: Did you say that to the agent on this date? If not,
showing the witness the document and asking her to read it into
the record. The question is, did you make that statement?
MS. MENNINGER: I just asked.
THE COURT: I agree. I think you did it right up
until this moment when we didn't have and inconsistent
statement? We're in vigorous disagreement.

THE COURT: Ms. Menninger, you can take off your mask.
I want to pause. Counsel, one of the exhibits
referenced was not in one of the jurors' binders, so I want to
just correct that.
Ms. Williams, can you let counsel know what exhibit it
was?
MS. MENNINGER: My apologies, your Honor. We'll get
that fixed.
THE COURT: Thank you. And thank you to the juror for
alerting us.
MS. MENNINGER: If there is anyone else that has a
problem.
Thank you, your Honor.
THE COURT: I apologize for that. I'm grateful to the
jurors. If anything like that happens, feel free to kind of
raise your hand in the moment and we'll have Ms. Williams as
she always does, make things right.
(Pause)
THE COURT: I think we're not in the binders at the
moment, so while Mr. Everdell is working on that, you'll
proceed.
MS. MENNINGER: Thank you, your Honor.

Yes.

Q.
Yesterday did you give a specific memory of the first time
that you recall being in a massage scenario with Ghislaine?
A.
Yes.
Q.
All right. And when you spoke with the government in
December of 2019, you told them you do not have a specific
memory of the first time with Ghislaine.

frame of that question.
Q.
Yesterday you testified that it was shortly after the pool
house that you had this incident with Epstein and Ghislaine,

Right.
Q.

some period of time, months went by before you ever had an
incident with Ghislaine, correct?
MS. MOE: Objection to form.
THE COURT: I will sustain it. You've drawn on
different meetings with the government. You have to specify
which one you're talking about so that the witness can answer
whether she recalls or not.

Previously you told the government you do not have a
specific memory of your first time with Ghislaine.

laying the foundation for the next question. That was the last
thing.
MS. MOE: Your Honor, I'm not sure what the question
is.
THE COURT: You don't have a question yet. Go ahead.
BY MS. MENNINGER:
Q.
Because you have no specific memory of your first time with
Ghislaine in December of 2019, you have come up with that
memory in the last two years, the one you gave yesterday,
correct?
MS. MOE: Objection to form.
THE COURT: Overruled.
A.
I come up with -- I don't believe I've come up with a
memory, no.
Q.
Well, you gave a memory to the jury yesterday that you
didn't have in December of 2019, right?

You then later met with the government in February of 2020,

Q.
At 3509-008, page 4, first full paragraph, beginning in the
middle of the paragraph.
MS. MOE: And, your Honor, is the question whether
that refreshes the witness' recollection?
THE COURT: That will be the question. Go ahead.
Q.
Does it refresh your recollection to read the sentence
beginning with the first time? Yes or no.
A.
Yes.
Q.
It refreshes your recollection, it's true that you told the
government that the first time with Maxwell, there were two
other girls there as well, correct?
A.
Correct, but the wording that was typed up on this isn't
correct, so I don't know how to --
Q.
Another typo by the government?
MS. MOE: Objection, your Honor.
THE COURT: Overruled.
Q.
It's another typo?
A.
Yes.
Q.
So, yesterday you gave a story that is different from
December 2019 when you had no specific memory and is different
from February 2020 when there were two other girls there as
well, correct?

to be difficult.
On page 3 of 3509-005, in the second full paragraph in
the middle of the paragraph there's a sentence that begins with
your name, and I would like you to read that and tell me if
that refreshes your recollection that you said that to the
government in December of 2019?
A.
Which paragraph?
Q.
The second full paragraph in the middle of the paragraph
beginning with your name.
A.
Yes.

BY MS. MENNINGER:
Q.
Does that refresh your recollection that you told the
government you do not have a recollection and are not sure if
Ghislaine touched you during these encounters; correct?
A.
I don't recall.
Q.
Isn't it true that's what you told the government on that
date?
A.
I don't remember, but it's written here.
Q.
I want to turn back to your statement that you don't recall
whether you ever told the government that Ghislaine did not see
you performing oral sex on Epstein. Is that what you told the
government?
A.
I don't remember.
Q.
If I could have you look at 3509-008 at page 10. And I ask
you to look at the first full paragraph and the last sentence
of that paragraph. Does that refresh your recollection of
whether Ghislaine was ever present for instances of oral sex
between you and Epstein?
A.
Correct.
Q.
It's true that you don't know whether Ghislaine was ever
present for you having oral sex in any way with Epstein;
correct?
A.
I don't remember.
Q.
That's what you told the government, didn't you?
A.
I don't remember.

MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, is now an appropriate time
for a break? I was about to start another area.
THE COURT: All right. We can take our morning break.
Members of the jury, we'll take about a ten-minute
break. Thank you.
(Jury not present)
THE COURT: Matters to take up, counsel?
Just a moment. You may step out, Jane. Thank you.
Everyone may be seated.
MS. MOE: Thank you, your Honor.
Just two --
THE COURT: Just a moment. Go ahead.
MS. MOE: Thank you, your Honor.
Two issues to raise.
The first is the issue that we raised earlier this
morning about the remaining anonymity issue. Happy to raise
that at this time, if it's appropriate. I don't know if it's
coming up soon in cross-examination.
THE COURT: Okay.
MS. MOE: But we would prefer to raise that at sidebar
because it relates to anonymity.
The second issue is the Rule 408 issue I flagged this
morning relating to documents we received a few minutes before
the beginning of the court day. Happy to front that issue now
while we have a break if the Court would like to hear that

issue.
THE COURT: Okay. Go ahead.
MS. MOE: So with respect to the Rule 408 issue,
defense counsel has provided the government this morning just
before the Court day with a few documents they've marked as
exhibits.
THE COURT: One moment. Go ahead.
MS. MOE: Those two documents are correspondence
between Jane's attorney and the victim compensation fund, as
well as correspondence from Jane's attorney and Ms. Menninger's
law firm.
To the extent defense counsel intends to offer these
as exhibits, there's a Rule 408 issue here.
MS. MENNINGER: I don't, your Honor.
THE COURT: Okay.
MS. MOE: I just want to ensure any questions about
this are framed as Jane's knowledge about the litigation and
not asking for her to testify about documents that aren't in
evidence, that she may not have seen, that are prepared by
attorneys. In order to avoid confusion, we want to make sure
that any questions about civil litigation are about what she
knows or doesn't know. I want to avoid a scenario in which a
lay witness is shown legal documents and asked to read them
into the record or testify to them beyond the scope of her
knowledge.

THE COURT: So that's not a 408 issue, it's a scope of
knowledge issue.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
It's a 408 issue to the extent the questions are about
negotiations related to settlements which would only be
admissible in order to show bias under the second prong of the
rule. And that's where the scope of knowledge issue comes into
play, because facts along those lines would only be relevant
under Rule 408 if this witness were aware of them. So we just
wanted to make sure any examination was cabined along those
lines.
THE COURT: Ms. Menninger?
MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, in those two documents,
the attorney in a civil matter for this witness demanded sums
of money. And there was one in the civil case. He was acting
in his capacity, and she was a party in that case, and he was
her lawyer. So his statements are adoptive admissions by the
party from that case that she was demanding the money that's
claimed in that letter. That's the first one.
THE COURT: And so what do you expect to do? You
expect to ask what?
MS. MENNINGER: You were demanding $25 million to
settle your civil law claim while Ms. Maxwell was pending in
this criminal case, I might add. That's the first one.

demanding $25 million in civil litigation while this criminal
case was pending?
MS. MENNINGER: Yes, your Honor.
THE COURT: Okay.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
As long as it's framed in terms of her knowledge; we
have no objection to what she knows about or was involved in.
What we want to avoid is a scenario where following a
question like that, a legal document exchanged between
attorneys was then shown to the witness to refresh her
recollection, and this witness was asked to read into the
record comments her attorney made, which would not be
admissible under Rule 408 if she doesn't know about them
because they can't speak to her bias if she is not aware of
those communications.
THE COURT: So just to spin out the question, Were you
demanding $25 million during -- in a civil lawsuit while this
criminal investigation was pending?
I suppose one response would be I don't know, one
response is yes, and one response is no.
So if the response is yes, you move on?
MS. MENNINGER: Yes.

you do?

attorney's letter to my law firm in which he's demanding that
and the date of the letter. If she wants to say she doesn't
know what her civil attorney is doing acting on her behalf, I
guess she could say that.
THE COURT: Okay. So if it doesn't refresh her
recollection, we move on. And then if the answer is no, what
then?
MS. MENNINGER: Well, your Honor, that leads to a
potential scenario with her attorney being a witness. But I
think we would cross that bridge on another day.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
The question remains about her knowledge. And again,
if we're refreshing this witness's recollection with a document
she hasn't seen, I just want to make sure that the question is
very precisely framed. Because there have been a number of
times already this morning where the witness has been asked to
just read the document and has given answers like, I don't
know, but I guess that's what this says, which is beyond the
scope of refreshing a recollection. So I just want to ensure
we're not asking this witness to read into the record hearsay
statements of her attorney which she doesn't have knowledge.
THE COURT: If she says, I don't know, you can try to
refresh her recollection. The question is, Does this refresh
your recollection? If the answer is no, we move on. And then

MS. MENNINGER: We cross bridges that --
THE COURT: Right.
And if the answer is -- so she says no. And you show
it to her and ask if that refreshes her recollection. And if
the answer is no, we move on.
MS. MENNINGER: The second one, your Honor, is in the
victims' compensation program. As your Honor may have seen,
she was offered an award. And after that award was offered,
her lawyer -- the same lawyer in that proceeding -- wrote
basically a motion for reconsideration and said that the award
was not appropriate; that it should at least be an eight-figure
award. So that delayed the whole -- you know, her decision to
join in the -- or to accept the award. And I believe that is,
again, an adoptive admission or a statement because he was
acting in her capacity as her lawyer in a civil case while this
criminal case was pending.
THE COURT: So what's the question you'll ask.
MS. MENNINGER: They are the same, your Honor. It's
essentially, Didn't you get offered an award of $5 million and
felt that that was not sufficient? And your attorney, on your
behalf, went back to the claims program and asked for an
eight-figure settlement instead.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
Again, the substance of that testimony would only be
relevant under Rule 408. If this witness knows about it and,

thus, it's offered about her particular bias --
THE COURT: Well, you heard the question.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
THE COURT: Do you object to the question?
MS. MOE: We do object to the question. If the
question is, Did you seek an increased amount in the settlement
award, I have no objection to that. If the question is, Isn't
it true your attorney made the following statement, that
question is objectionable.
THE COURT: Under 408.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, it goes to bias, her
motive to testify in this case, and her bias against my client.
THE COURT: Let's start with a more basic issue which
no one has briefed, but Manko v. United States, are you
familiar?
MS. MOE: I'm not, your Honor.
THE COURT: 87 F.3d 50 (2d Cir. 1996).
I'll quote: "the policy that underlies Rule 408 does
not apply to criminal prosecutions. The policy favoring the
encouragement of civil settlements sufficient to bar their
admission in civil actions is insufficient, in our view, to
outweigh the need for accurate determinations in criminal cases
where the stakes are higher."
Is that good law?

MS. MOE: Your Honor, I'm not -- I take the Court at
its word. I'm not familiar --
THE COURT: I mean, that's what it says. I'll admit
there may be some complications, but I'd like to know the
government's position on that.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. We'd be happy to take a
quick look into it.
THE COURT: It will probably take more than a quick
look. It's complicated. That case is in the context of the
defense seeking to introduce civil litigation settlement. Is
defense aware of this case? Anybody have knowledge? No.
Who reads Second Circuit cases?
In the context of the defense seeking to introduce,
the rule was subsequently amended, there's been no intervening
Second Circuit interpretation. The rule is amended because the
government wanted some ability to introduce in some context
civil settlement matters. So the rule has been changed now, by
its terms, at least, not in the case of motive and bias, it
does appear to apply in criminal settings. But I don't think
that the amendment, which was not -- I don't think that
amendment is sufficiently overruling of the Second Circuit
decision for me not to be bound by that Second Circuit
decision. But you'll, I'm sure, take a look at that issue.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.

we're talking about is impeachment. And so a statement or an
issue of bias that's being offered for impeachment, whether
we're talking about a Rule 408 issue or otherwise, is only
relevant and permissible if this witness knows about it.
THE COURT: I agree there are personal knowledge
questions in issue. I did ask you specifically if it was a 408
issue, and you said yes. You're on your feet, of course, now,
and have to respond to me quoting a Second Circuit decision at
you. And, of course, district courts are required to follow
Second Circuit precedent even if its intention was subsequent
changes in the law, unless and until the case is reconsidered
by the Second Circuit sitting en banc or its equivalent or is
rejected by a later Supreme Court decision.
So I do think there may be a question of the change in
the rule and what the scope of that was and whether it
overturns the Second Circuit decision such that I'm not bound
by it. I doubt it. Separate and apart from that is the
question of whether she has personal knowledge of what her
attorneys did, right.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
THE COURT: It's not a 408 issue, it's a foundation
question, personal knowledge question.
Ms. Menninger made an argument that in the civil
litigation context, she could be assumed to have adopted the
position of her attorneys. I think we do get to that bridge,

there's an awareness or not. And if she doesn't know and the
answer is no, I think we'll move on until I hear from you as to
how it might come in.
MS. MOE: Thank you, your Honor.
And we'll look into the Rule 408 issue. If we have
that wrong, we'll certainly withdraw that objection. And I
appreciate the Court flagging that.
THE COURT: I assume that's why you hadn't raised 408
in your motion to quash. In any event, one of the parties
raised 408, so we looked at it and that was as far as we got.

BY MS. MENNINGER:
Q.
Yesterday you testified about the first time you were
abused, you claim, by Epstein. Do you recall that testimony?
A.
Yes.
Q.
You said that it occurred in a pool house in Florida;
correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
His Palm Beach home; correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
The Palm Beach home that you went to, you say, for all
three years; correct? Fourteen through 16.
A.
Correct.
Q.
And the very first time that you were abused would be a
very important part of your story, you would agree; correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
But when you talked to the government in December of 2019,
isn't it true that you told them that the first time you were
abused was in New York?
A.
That is not correct.
Q.
Isn't it true that you said you were in New York and you
were abused when you went up there to take headshots?
A.
I don't recall.

A.
Yes. And with all due respect, I didn't write any of this
and I've never read this document because this is incorrect.
Q.
So you're denying that you made the statement your first
experience of abuse was when you were 14 years old in New York,
you met Epstein to take headshots, and that is when he
masturbated?
A.
Yeah, this is incorrect.
Q.
When you first talked to the government in December of 2019
about traveling to New York, you told them that on your first
trip nothing inappropriate happened; correct?
A.
I don't recall.
Q.
You told the government that your first trip was to just go
and have fun; correct?

I don't recall.

statement.

told the government in February 2020 about your first trip to
New York?
A.
Like I said, with all due respect, I didn't write any of
this. I've never read this before. And I was never recorded.
This was just somebody jotting down notes, and so a lot of this
is out of sequence and incorrect.
Q.
Does that refresh your recollection about what you told the
government about your first trip to New York?
A.
No.
MS. MOE: Asked and answered, your Honor.
THE COURT: The answer is no.

Q.
Isn't it true you told the government on that occasion that
your first trip to New York was just to go and have fun?
MS. MOE: Asked and answered, your Honor.
THE COURT: Sustained.
A.
No.
THE COURT: I sustained. If I sustain, pause. And
then if I overrule, you can answer.
Go ahead, Ms. Menninger.
BY MS. MENNINGER:
Q.
And it was later when you were talking to the government in
April of 2020 that you said you only specifically recalled one
incident in New York where Ghislaine was present; correct?
A.
I don't recall.
Q.
If I could have you take a look at 3509-004. Okay. I'm
sorry, 3509-003. Excuse me. And it's on the second page in
the second full paragraph. If you could look at that second
sentence in the second paragraph regarding how many incidents
in New York.
MS. MOE: And, your Honor, is the question whether
that refreshes her recollection or --

A.
What is the question?
Q.
Do you recall -- does this refresh your recollection about
how many incidents in New York you recall with Ghislaine
present?
A.
I don't think I have the correct page.
THE COURT: You're directing to the second full
paragraph, second sentence?
MS. MENNINGER: Yes, your Honor, the second full
paragraph on page 2. The paragraph begins with "Maxwell." The
second sentence of that paragraph.
MS. MOE: I also object as mischaracterizing.

New York where Maxwell was present?
MS. MOE: Same objection, your Honor.

incident in New York where Maxwell was present?

Yes.

witness.
THE COURT: You've asked already do you recall having
made that statement and the answer, I think, is yes?
THE WITNESS: Yeah, for at least --
THE COURT: Okay.
Q.
You recall at least one incident in New York?
THE COURT: Are you asking that as a question of her
memory now or are you asking her if she remembers relaying that
to the FBI?
Q.
Yes, do you remember that now?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Okay.
MS. MOE: Your Honor, which was that about, her memory
or whether it happened?
THE COURT: It was rephrased as about her memory now.
Next question, Ms. Menninger.
Q.
That was a conversation you had in November of 2019 with
the government; correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
And then by April of 2020, you reported to the government
that you were abused 90 percent of the time you traveled with
Epstein and Maxwell; correct?
MS. MOE: Objection, your Honor.

MS. MOE: Objection, your Honor. Mischaracterizes --
THE COURT: Sustained.
Q.
Has your story changed about how many times you remember
abuse over the course of your discussions with the government?
A.
No, and I didn't understand exactly the question.
Q.
In September of 2019, when you first met with the
government, you told them that you flew with Ghislaine and
Epstein to New York to see The Lion King; correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
You told them that you flew to New York for the first time
with them to see The Lion King; correct?
A.
I said that, but I was incorrect in my timeline.
Q.
You said that happened when you were 14, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And that's the trip where you said nothing inappropriate
happened; correct?
A.
I don't recall.
Q.
And you were, as we've seen, a student of theater and the
arts at the time; correct?

Correct.

You can ask if this refreshes. This is precisely what

That's correct.
Q.
And that was in response to a question from the government
to you through your attorney; correct?
A.
Correct.

That's because the government communicated to you through
your attorney that The Lion King didn't come out until 1997;

So although you had told the government twice previously
that you flew to New York with Maxwell and Epstein when you

Q.
Okay. If you could look at the top of the second page --
I'm sorry, of page 8. Does that refresh your recollection?
A.
No.
Q.
Isn't it true you told the government regarding New Mexico
the place was dark and you do not recall many of the details of
this location? If there was abuse that occurred there, it
wouldn't have been a group thing, but she cannot recall -- you
cannot recall anything specific?

made the statement, and we haven't heard her answer yet.
THE COURT: So the question is did you make the
statement?
MS. MENNINGER: Yes.
THE COURT: Okay. You may answer that.
A.
No, I don't recall making these statements.
Q.
Then you were asked the same question by the government in

A.
I don't know.
Q.
I'm going to ask you to take a look at page 11, the top
paragraph, the first sentence. Does that refresh your
recollection about you being asked a third time in the same
interview about abuse occurring in New Mexico?
A.
No, it does not.
Q.
Isn't it true what you told the government a third time was
that you were asked about the New Mexico trips you took and if
you recalled any specific abuse that occurred there, to which
you answered you did not remember; correct?
MS. MOE: Objection.
THE COURT: Sustained.
Q.
It didn't refresh your recollection --
THE COURT: You said isn't it true that you told the
government a third time that you were asked about the New
Mexico trips. I think you lost the thread.

A.
Yes.
Q.
You remember Epstein's mom being on a flight with you?
A.
Yes.
Q.
You told the government you remembered all these people
being on flights with you?
A.
Yeah.
Q.
Were you aware of whether the flight logs reflect any
flights by you with those individuals?
A.
I have no idea, no.
Q.
You also had some recollections about flying on the private
plane with Epstein, right? You recall being on the plane?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And you said that you were asked your weight when you were
boarding the plane, correct?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And you also remember this Latin American driver for
Mr. Epstein driving you up to the airport, correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
So he could back up that story too, correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
And you remember someone from Epstein's office named Lesley

right?
A.
That's what I remember, yeah.
Q.
When you were 14, 15 and 16, right?
A.
I don't know if it was her every time. I just remember a
Lesley.
Q.
When you were in Florida?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Between the ages of 14 to 16. And you remember Emmy
calling your house when you were age 14, 15 and 16 to make
arrangements, right?
A.
No, Emmy wasn't around then.
Q.
Well, you told the government that you do recall Emmy
calling your home phone in Florida, right?
A.
No, I never said that.
Q.
Let's look at 3509-001 at page 2, in the second full
paragraph.
A.
Yeah, but that's not correct.
Q.
So it says that you recall Emmy calling your house phone,
correct?
MS. MOE: Objection.
THE COURT: Just a moment. Just a moment. Sustained.
Q.
Did you tell the -- you're saying that it says it, but it's
not correct. Can you just tell us what's not correct?
MS. MOE: Objection, your Honor.
THE COURT: Overruled. You may answer.

A.
This timeline is not correct. I did not know Emmy or
Michelle while living in Florida. I knew them in New York.
Q.
You did not live in a house in New York, correct?
A.
No.
Q.
You lived in an apartment, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
So you didn't have a house phone in New York?
A.
I think we did have a house phone, actually. Actually, we
did for sure.
Q.
There was staff present at Mr. Epstein's eight-story
mansion, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And the staff included a chef, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And a house manager?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And a driver?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And so all of those people saw you staying in this mansion
by yourself as a 14 year old, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
You said that Epstein gave you money almost every time that
you saw him, right?
A.
Correct.
Q.
Hundreds of dollars at a time?

Q.
$2- or $300 at a time?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And that happened regardless of whether or not you were in
what you claim was a sexually abusive relationship at that
time, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And your brothers never mentioned anything weird about you
having hundreds of dollars of cash, correct?
A.
I never mentioned it to them.
Q.
And your mother as well didn't know you had hundreds of
dollars?
A.
No. I gave it to my mother.
Q.
You gave the hundreds of dollars to your mother?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Every time?
A.
I showed it to her every time.
Q.
And Epstein only gave you gifts. He didn't give any gifts
to your brothers?
A.
He may have. I don't recall.
Q.
Nothing major?
A.
I think he gave him a computer once.
Q.
Anything else?
A.
Not that I remember.
Q.
You don't have any photographs of yourself with Epstein,

that you claim they bought you?
A.
No.
Q.
The plaid pants and the Ralph Lauren sweater, right?
A.
That's right.
Q.
You claimed that there was a photo of you that Epstein kept
on his desk, and you were wearing a bathing suit, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
You don't know whether that photograph was ever found,
correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
Do you have any records of when you went to the Lion King,
like a program?
A.
No, I don't have really anything from that time of my life.
Q.
You said that Epstein paid for your acting lessons, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
At a particular studio?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And you said that he paid a particular voice coach for you?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Have you got records of any of those payments?

Q.
You've met with the government quite a few times in person,
correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
You've had a number of trial preparation sessions?
A.
Not -- not -- what's a number?
Q.
What's that?
A.
What do you mean by preparations?
Q.
Trial prep sessions?
A.
Yes.
Q.

A.
Yes.

And there was a mock cross-exam that you engaged in with
the government, right?

Yes.

Where you practiced answering questions like we are now?
A.
Not practicing, no.
Q.
Did you rehearse your direct testimony?

No, I did not.

You continued to travel on Mr. Epstein's dime after you
escaped in 1999, correct?

Q.
Do you remember taking commercial flights that he paid for?
A.
No.
Q.
I will have you look at Exhibit J-37 and see if this
refreshes your recollection. And the J numbers are behind the
green flag.
MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, I think it's going to make
more sense for me to come back to this.
THE COURT: Okay.
Q.
You do recall sending a photograph of yourself to Epstein
after you moved to LA, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
That was Government Exhibit 245, right?
Where you wrote "Thanks for rocking my world"?
A.
Yes. Embarrassing.
Q.
And you wrote that when you were 19?
A.
19, yes.
Q.
You testified yesterday that your mom made you send that to
him, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
So your mom could clearly corroborate that, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And there were no dates on those photographs, right?
A.
Correct.

So it's your recollection about the age you were in those
photographs, right?

A.
Right.
Q.
There's nothing on the photographs themselves?
A.
Right.
Q.
And you testified yesterday that Epstein just kept calling
you and calling you in the 2000s until you stopped answering
his phone calls, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
So there would be phone records of all those calls, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
It took you quite some time to report this to law
enforcement, right? We talked about that at the beginning
yesterday?
A.
Yes.
Q.
In the meantime, you got a job on a soap opera, right?
A.
Right.
Q.
You received an income from that job?
A.
Yes.
Q.
You had an agent?
A.
Yes.
Q.
You had a number of family members that lived nearby in the
2000s, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And once you had established yourself as an actress with
income, you didn't call up the police to let them know what you
claimed had happened to you, right?

A.
Right.
Q.
In the late 2000s, 2007, 2008, you saw on the news that
Epstein had been arrested, right?
A.
Right.
Q.
And charged, right?
A.
Yeah.
Q.
And so you knew the authorities were investigating
Mr. Epstein in 2007, 2008, right?
A.
Right.
Q.
You didn't pick up the phone then and call the people that
you knew were investigating him then, correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
You knew how do that, right?
A.
Right.
Q.
You knew how to get a lawyer?
A.
Right.
Q.
You chose not do that?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And you started to see some press that mentioned yourself?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And so you did hire a lawyer, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And a lot of the press that you saw mentioned about
yourself was false, correct?
A.
I don't remember what the exact press was.

MS. MOE: Objection to relevance, your Honor.
MS. MENNINGER: I'm asking if she saw the press?
THE COURT: I'll allow it.
A.
I don't remember reading that.
Q.
You wanted to stop the press about you, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
So you hired an attorney?
A.
Yes.

a million dollars?
A.
No, that is incorrect.
Q.
Why?
A.
First of all, I don't have that much money to give away,
and it was $25,000. So maybe it's a typo?
Q.
I'm going to have you look at 3509-023.
A.
Yeah, I see it.
Q.
In the last full paragraph in the middle of the paragraph.
A.
Yes.
Q.
Does that refresh your recollection that you told the
government you did not know you would need a $250,000 retainer?
A.
That's not correct because I never said that. I would not
be able to afford to pay anybody that much money for anything.
Q.
Well, you paid her some amount of money?
A.
Yes.
Q.
$25,000?
A.
$25,000.
Q.
And you did that to help her stop the media about you?
A.
Stop people from harassing me and bullying me into trying
to give some sort of interview or statement.
Q.
Well, you were being approached by lawyers?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Lawyers for Virginia Roberts, for example?

Yes.

You didn't hire her for that purpose, right?

involved, right?

September 3, 2019.
Q.
That was two weeks before you met with the government for
the first time, right?
A.
I don't know those dates.
Q.
I want to look back at 3509-001, at the date. Does looking

He's not a specialist in criminal law, for example?

I guess not.

And you had Mr. Glassman and Mr. Werksman in the first

Right.

Correct.
Q.
You've talked about the press about Epstein with other
people?
A.
What's that question?
Q.
You've talked about the press about Epstein with other
people?
MS. MOE: Objection to form.

Well, you had discussions --
MS. MENNINGER: I'll rephrase, your Honor. Maybe that
will help.

about Epstein, right?

Yes.

A.
Yes.
Q.
You talked to Stan Pottinger?
A.
Yes.
Q.
You know they represent other Epstein accusers, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Your lawyer has spoken to other lawyers?
MS. MOE: Objection.
THE COURT: I suppose you can ask if she knows that.
Q.
Do you know whether your lawyer has spoken to other lawyers
who represent Epstein accusers?
A.
I wouldn't know that.
Q.
You've talked to your family members, right?
A.
Some of them.
Q.

you've read and the people that you've talked to, all of those
pieces of information go into what you know about the Epstein
case as you sit here today, correct?
A.
I wouldn't say it like that, no.
Q.
You don't remember all of the things that you've talked
about, right?
A.
No, I don't remember all the things I talked about.
Q.
You don't remember all the things that you read, correct?
A.
No.
Q.
You don't know all of the websites that you've seen, right?
A.
No, I try to avoid those.
Q.
But you've read them enough to hire a lawyer to stop some,
right?
A.
No, that's based more on people calling me, harassing me,
calling my husband, harassing him, calling my work, calling my
friends. And I wanted these people to stop calling me and go
away. It's not based on tabloids. I've been in enough online
tabloids. Being an actor, you read all kinds of stuff about
yourself.
Q.
You're aware of the media out there about yourself, right?
A.
Some of it, yeah.
Q.
During your teenage years, you traveled quite frequently,
correct?
A.
I guess it's all relative, but yeah, I guess.

You were 15 when you went on one of those trips?
A.

I will have you take a look at J-6. I assume you have not

And do you see certain dates and --
MS. MOE: I'm sorry, your Honor, I don't believe I
have J-6.
MS. MENNINGER: I thought you did. I'm really sorry.
MS. MOE: I'm sorry, I do. Apologies.
Q.
You recognize your name and date of birth on this document?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And does -- I realize that some of these dates are old, but
does looking at this, particularly page 2 towards the bottom,
refresh your recollection about trips that you may have taken
outside of the country?
A.
Do I remember these flights? Is that the question?

Q.
Yes, do you remember taking these trips?
A.
I don't remember these in particular. These are old. I
don't know.
Q.
Let me direct your attention to the second from the bottom
one.
A.
Okay.
Q.
Do you recognize those airport codes or the dates of travel
indicated there?
A.
I don't know what those airport codes are. If somebody
could translate them for me.
Q.
Let me ask you this: In April of 1996, did you take a trip
abroad?
A.
I don't remember.
Q.
How old were you in April of 1996?
A.

Q.

Q.
Did you ever attend a vocal competition in Italy?
A.
Oh, yes.

And that was in April of 1996?
A.
I guess it was.

1997?
A.
16.
Q.
Do you remember a trip that you took in June of 1997?
A.
I think I may remember what trip this was for, something
having to do with a sibling.
Q.
None of these trips involved Ghislaine Maxwell, right?
A.
No.
Q.
You didn't travel abroad with her?
A.
No.
Q.
And Epstein as well, you didn't travel abroad with him?
A.
No.
Q.
So, you may have taken a trip related to a sibling in June
of 1997 --
A.
Yes.
Q.
-- when you were 16?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And then in January of 1998, how old were you?
A.
167.
Q.
And you took a trip perhaps abroad then. Do you recall
that?
A.
January 199 -- maybe a family thing? I don't remember.
I'm sorry.
Q.
And then the last one I'll ask about is April of 1998. Do
you remember taking a trip then?
A.
No, I don't remember what the trip was.

for the admission of this under seal because it has identifying
information as Exhibit J-40.

We have a 401 and 403 objection to this document.
This is a multipage document containing legal terms relating to
a civil settlement.
To the extent the defense intends to impeach this
witness about the fact that she settled a claim and received a
sum of money, that's already in the record.
This document contains additional and, frankly,

complicated legal terms about a settlement agreement between
this witness and an estate that's not a party to this case. We
think this document is confusing to the jury and don't
understand any potential impeachment relevance of the
particular terms of the settlement.
MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, it's a representative --
it's a documentary representative of the amount of money that
she received in the settlement. I don't know what's confusing
about that. I am not going to spend a lot of time arguing some
legal clauses or anything like that, but I think our jury is
sophisticated enough to know what a settlement agreement looks
like and the amount of money that she received. She's
contesting that that's the amount of money she received, but I
don't think that precluding us from putting in a document
because it has legal language in it is an appropriate --
THE COURT: That's the 403 argument, that it's legal
language?
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
THE COURT: The government puts in cooperation
agreements all the time. Those are not the models of clarity.
MS. MOE: Of course, your Honor, and that's certainly
true --
THE COURT: This is comparable legal language, isn't
it?

here, and it's an important one is, as a proponent of the
evidence, the defense has the burden of establishing its
relevance. At this point what they've articulated is that they
want the exact figure that was disbursed, which this witness
has already testified to and --
THE COURT: It's just a document of that agreement.
I'm going to overrule this objection.
Anything else?
MS. MOE: Your Honor, in our view, this sort of opens
the door to a lot of legal issues related to the settlement
funds that are not proper before the jury. It's cumulative of
the testimony about this particular figure and would be
confusing about its particular terms.
THE COURT: Yes, that's what I just overruled.
MS. MOE: Understood, your Honor.
THE COURT: Anything else to take up? We'll break for
lunch for 45 minutes. Thank you.
And, Ms. Menninger, if you have an argument that
you're going to pierce attorney-client privilege --
MS. MENNINGER: Yes, your Honor. Can we take that up
right after lunch in a sidebar? I believe I have grounds.
THE COURT: You have to speak into the microphone. It
should have been briefed. I think that would be clear, but,
yes, I'll meet with you in 40 minutes. You'll confer in
advance.

MS. MENNINGER: I mean, I could start with the
question of does she know whether her attorney shared that with
someone else, which is the waiver question, in my mind, anyway.
But the ultimate question I would like to get to is her
attorney told her that.
THE COURT: Right. So you want to get to a
communication between attorney and client. It's privileged,
right? And you're arguing that it's been waived or what are
you arguing?
MS. MENNINGER: Yes, I'm arguing that it's been waived
because it was communicated to the government.
THE COURT: Ms. Moe.
MS. MOE: Thank you, your Honor.
I think that question is a few moves down the
chessboard.
THE COURT: Could you pull up the microphone, please.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
I think there would be no issue with a question about
this witness's understanding of whether the outcome of this
case would help in a civil case or whether at the time she
decided to cooperate with the government and be interviewed she
thought that would help her get money in a civil case. That
would be just a question about whether she had bias and motive;
that wouldn't go to issues of attorney-client privilege about
her general understanding. I think the question becomes, if

she says no, if a privileged communication with her attorney
would be a proper basis for impeachment.
On that score, if we get to that scenario, this
witness's counsel is in the courtroom. I've conferred with him
about the privilege issue. My understanding is his view is
this is privileged and he'd like to confer with his client
about that. But I think he'd like to be heard on the question
of privilege and waiver. It's not the government's privilege
to hold or waive or speak to; and so we'd ask for him to be
heard on that question.
THE COURT: Well, I guess it still depends what we're
talking about. What is the "this" in that sentence?
MS. MOE: It sounds like, your Honor, if defense
counsel plans to impeach this witness about bias by offering a
statement of her attorney to the government, that that
implicates a privilege question. If separately defense counsel
plans to ask this witness just generally --
THE COURT: The statement from the attorney to the
government is not privileged. This is not privileged. The
question goes to her communication with her attorney, that's
where the privilege is.
MS. MOE: Exactly, your Honor.
THE COURT: I'm not yet seeing the connection between
what I -- I don't know what the basis of admissibility would be

nonprivileged communication, right, between the attorney and
the witness's attorney and the government.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. That is my note to file
about a conversation with Mr. Glassman. In our view, my notes
about a conversation with someone who's not this witness can't
be an exhibit at the trial. There are separate questions about
her conversations with her attorneys that implicates other
privilege issues.
THE COURT: You don't have any objection to
Ms. Menninger asking the witness if she has any awareness of
her participation in this criminal proceeding impacting -- what
is the underlying question? Let me just get the underlying
question before we get -- Ms. Menninger.
MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, the underlying question is
she expected to get a higher payout in her civil case if she
testified in and cooperated in this criminal case. That's the
ultimate underlying issue.
THE COURT: Did she have any basis to believe that by
testifying in this criminal case, it would aid the payment she
would get in the -- with respect to the fund or the civil case?
MS. MENNINGER: Well, they ultimately became as one.
But at the time her initial advice from Mr. Glassman came in,
there was not a victims' compensation fund. That arose during
the course of her civil case. And so --

he mentioned he told her it would help her case?
MS. MENNINGER: Yes, your Honor. Because prior to
that line, he's disclosing that he discussed whether
cooperating with the case and then ultimately gets to the
question of testifying in the case, he says, were the morally
right thing to do. And they had discussed how testifying at
trial was the right thing to do. He also mentioned that he had
told her it would help her case. It is slightly ambiguous. I
don't know if it refers back to the entirety of the things said
before it, but that's what the email or the note says.
THE COURT: Okay. So you want to ask her if she had
any basis to conclude that her participation as a witness here
would help her civil litigation recovery prospects.
MS. MENNINGER: Right, your Honor. If it were a
cooperation agreement and a witness had cooperated and someone
had promised that they would get a lesser sentence if they
cooperated, I can see that also being admissible. So maybe
just the --
THE COURT: The attorney's advice to the client about
whether they should take a plea and what assistance that might
get them and all of that obviously is privileged.
MS. MENNINGER: It is, until you disclose it to the
government. I totally agree with that, your Honor.

MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, I suppose that there might
be additional question -- you know that your lawyer told the

want to ask, Do you know that your lawyer told the government
that?
MS. MENNINGER: Yes.
THE COURT: Do you have an objection to the "Do you
know that your lawyer told the government that"?
MS. MOE: I'm sorry, your Honor. I'm trying to follow
the logic of trying to impeach a witness by her knowledge of an
attorney's statement to the government about a client's
intention. I don't think that tracks the logic of impeachment
by bias or by a prior inconsistent statement. I'm not sure how
that establishes impeachment under the rule.
THE COURT: The fact that she knows her lawyer told
the government that.

around getting in her conversations with her attorney. Because

the question is, Are you aware that your attorney made a
statement to the government about his conversation with you
about your expected outcome in the case.
THE COURT: Well, okay. At the first step, you agree
they can ask if she had any basis to believe that her
participation as a witness here would have any impact on her
potential compensation in civil litigation. You don't object
to that question?
MS. MOE: No, your Honor, no objection.
THE COURT: So then we have what if she says yes and
what if she says no. So if she says yes, their follow-up
question is, Are you aware that your attorney told the
government that?
I think I agree with you. I don't know what the
relevance of that is. And it is an attorney-client
communication.
What's the relevance of whether she knows her attorney
told the government that?
MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, I think it gets into her
expectations that she -- that the government knows that she
knows. And so at that point she's testifying with an
expectation that -- you know, if the government doesn't -- is
unaware of her attorney's advice, then it's just a secret
between her and her attorney. But if the government who is
calling her to testify is aware of her plan, intent to get more

money by testifying in the criminal case, that can affect, you
know, whether or not it's an appropriate -- you know, whether
the witness has an expectation that is somewhat colored by the
government's plan or putting them on the stand, you know,
knowing that. It's an issue of whether the witness is coming
and testifying knowing that the person who's calling them to
the stand is aware of this whole plan to get more money from
the civil case by testifying here.
THE COURT: What does that tell us at all about her
motivation? The two pieces aren't linking up. There's does
she have in her mind that testifying might help her in the
civil case. The answer to that is yes. I don't see -- it
seems to me it's potentially -- it's attorney-client privilege
issues because it's about what her attorney communicated to
her. And it's hard to see any additional relevance that comes
from whether the fact -- whether the government knew -- whether
she knew that the government knew that she believed that -- or
testifying would help her civil case, because it doesn't link
up to the benefit part.
So I think the first question would be fine. If the
answer is yes, my inclination is not to allow the second
question on both privilege, 401/403 grounds. So then the
question is if the answer is no, then what do you propose?

evidence that could be put on extrinsically, specifically, her
attorney's testimony.
THE COURT: So you want to then call her attorney and
ask her attorney if he told her, advised her that if she
participated in this case, she would -- it would help her in
the civil case.
MS. MENNINGER: Right. Because that is the only
portion that was waived. That's what he -- whatever he
communicated to the government is what was waived. I don't
think he's waived -- I'm not arguing for subject matter waiver,
for example.
THE COURT: So, first of all, as I've said before, you
have to brief that. This is not enough. I haven't looked at
any law on that question. You've put none before me. I made
very clear you'd have to brief it. So we're not doing that
today.
MS. MENNINGER: No, I understand, your Honor.
THE COURT: Ms. Moe, what's your response to the
waiver question?
MS. MOE: Your Honor, having not had an opportunity to
research it or consider it or confer with Mr. Glassman, who --
it's not my privilege to hold, so I can't speak to its waiver
without researching the issue and conferring with Mr. Glassman.

MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
I would just want to make sure I was conferring with

Broadly speaking, your Honor, to the extent this
evidence is offered for the purpose of impeaching the
credibility of the prosecutors in this case, which is what I
think what Ms. Menninger was suggesting, I think that would be
entirely improper.
THE COURT: I think that's, in part, like the
mysterious implication of the second question that I said I
wouldn't allow.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
THE COURT: Because it just doesn't match up to
anything in motivating her.
So we know where the branch of the tree ends. If the
question is yes, that's the end of it. If the question is no,
then it sounds like we're done with this witness with that
question. And then you're going to brief calling her lawyer
only on the question of whether he told the government that her
participating -- testifying would help her civil case.
MS. MENNINGER: He told her that. No, he told Jane
that.

something to -- I mean would be --
THE COURT: It would be waiver argument. You're going
to brief waiver as to that on the basis that he told that to
the government.
MS. MENNINGER: Exactly. The waiver was the telling
to the government. The question for him on the stand would be
what he told his client. But the briefing would be on the
waiver question.

whether the privilege -- it's the client's to waive, I think.
That will be part of the briefing, I suppose.
Okay. But if the answer is no, you don't have

Just to facilitate clarity with respect to the
threshold question here about the witness, about her
understanding if the question is phrased as her understanding
about testifying at trial today and the effect of a civil case,
I think the answer to that question has to be no because there
is no civil case, there is no pending claim, it's all been
resolved.
And so I just wanted to clarify whether the question
is at the time she started meeting with the government was that
her understanding, while the case was active, or whether the
question will be about her testimony here at trial.
Jane has testified on direct that her understanding is
she has no financial stake in the outcome of this case. The
civil matter is resolved and the verdict in this case won't
affect what she's received from those settlements. And so I
just wanted to clarify in terms of how that question is phrased
and what we're getting at about the issue about testifying at
trial or her initial decision to cooperate with the government.
THE COURT: Fair enough.
MS. MENNINGER: That's fair.
In the paragraph itself it refers to cooperating with
the case and it refers to testifying. So I think any reason to
believe either one of those --

question.

MS. MENNINGER: Do you have any basis to believe --
any reason to believe that your cooperation would help with
this case, would help you with your civil case, that's one
question.
The other is do you have any reason --
THE COURT: I'm sorry. I don't think that
clarifies -- I think it's unclarifying on two points that
Ms. Moe has raised.
MS. MENNINGER: Okay.
THE COURT: One, cooperating in this case, meaning by
testifying or more broadly. And two, since she no longer has a
pending civil case, I think she'd probably be left wondering
what you're referring to.
Can you clarify the question -- I think what you're
asking is at any point during your -- at any point in your
cooperation with the government -- "cooperation" is loaded
because it's not like there's a cooperation agreement or
something. But for lack of a better term, cooperating with the
government with respect to this criminal case, did you ever
have an understanding that it might benefit you in what was
then a pending civil litigation?
Ms. Moe, is that getting at what you're suggesting?
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. I just wanted to make sure
it was clear for the witness.

understanding that any cooperation with the government,
including testifying in this trial, would aid you in any way in

morphed into the victims' comp fund, there may be a similar
question with respect to the comp fund. But I think I can
draft this language and we could -- I can tell your Honor what
it is in just a minute.

THE COURT: What else do we need to take up?
MS. MOE: Your Honor, I'm not quite sure about the
timing for the length of cross, but I did want to just remind
the Court that the next witness raises the prior consistent
statements issues we discussed at the conclusion of the Court
day yesterday.
THE COURT: I'm sorry, that what?
MS. MOE: That the next witness we anticipate calling
would be the witness identified as Matt. And so just wanted to
tee up any issues relating to prior consistent statements.
THE COURT: I think where we left it was that, as
Ms. Sternheim said, we'll evaluate when you seek to introduce a
prior consistent statement whether, in fact, it's consistent
and whether they have attacked the veracity of that and, if
not, you won't object.
MS. STERNHEIM: Right.
THE COURT: And if they do object, I'll decide.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
I just wanted to clear that in advance.
THE COURT: Thank you.
Okay. What do you have, Ms. Menninger?
MS. MENNINGER: Under the authority of Rule 611(c), I
have redrafted it into a leading question, if that's
permissible, your Honor. And what I would ask is --

THE COURT: It's cross, so --
MS. MENNINGER: Right. Why not?
-- you knew that cooperating with the government,
including testifying, would benefit you in your civil
litigation against the Estate of Epstein and Ms. Maxwell? And
then the same question with respect to the victims'
compensation fund.
THE COURT: I'll never win this argument with a

them did you know. But you do you.

to have a sense of timing for the duration of cross for timing
of next witnesses.

I want to go back to something I needed to skip earlier. I
was asking you about whether or not you had traveled on Jeffrey
Epstein's expense commercially after you moved to Los Angeles.
And I started to show you Exhibit J-37, so I'd like to do that

Does looking at that document refresh your recollection

MS. MENNINGER: If I could -- I'll try to do it
without naming the names because I don't know if that's a
problem.

are in the first paragraph. And I'm just going to direct the

You got a manager and an agent by your senior year?

Yes.
Q.
All right. And you moved to New York for the purpose of
going to that high school here; correct?
A.
Not to go to that high school. The high school wasn't a
performing arts school; it just was a private school.
Q.
Professional Children's School?
A.
Yes. It was for kids who were seeking professions in --
entertainment professions. And if they booked a job, then the
school would work with them of sending them homework, but we
didn't do any arts in that school.
Q.
I see. Thank you for that clarification.
And you did have work in your senior year; correct?

I did not, actually, not till after I graduated.
Q.
Okay. You don't remember any school notes in which they

Q.
Christmas specials, a wide range, right?
A.
No Christmas special yet, I don't think, but yeah.
Q.
You had a reality show we talked about a little while ago?
A.
Unfortunately, yes.
Q.
Which was not real?
A.
No, it's not real.
Q.
Your accusations in this case depend significantly on
you -- your memory that you were 14 when you met Epstein;
correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
You repeated it a number of times on the stand, right?
A.
Right.
Q.
Well, actually, when you first met with the government, you
told them that you were 13 when you met Epstein, right?
A.
No, I said I might have been 13 going on 14; because my
birthday is in August, and I believe I met them earlier in the
summer. So it was just a small technicality, I guess.
Q.
Well, in your civil complaint in the first paragraph, you
said it all started in 1994, when 13-year-old Jane met Epstein
and Maxwell; correct?
A.
Correct. I was 13 in June and July.
Q.
You didn't say "13, going on 14."
A.
I don't know. I don't know.
Q.
Okay. Do you want to take a look at 3509-007, paragraph 1.
A.
Okay.

Q.
And there you just said you were 13, right?
A.
It says there that I'm 13, yeah.
Q.
And that was what was filed by your attorney in court?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And you told the government 13, but later they refreshed
your memory that maybe you were 14, right?
A.
No, I always from the beginning said 13, but I turned 14
that summer.
Q.
Okay. I'll have you take a look at 3509-008, page 11. And
looking at that, do you recall the government asking you --
THE COURT: Where?
MS. MENNINGER: I apologize. The second from the --
second full paragraph from the bottom up.
Q.
Does that refresh your recollection about a conversation
you had with the government?
A.
No, because I didn't write any of this. The second half of
that makes sense, which is I was probably 13. And it says here
that I turned 14 that summer.
Q.
So you were not asked if it was possible that you met
Epstein after you turned 14?
A.
I don't remember.
Q.
But I understand now you're saying you believe you were 14
because it was later in the summer, right?
A.
What was later in the summer?
Q.
When you met Epstein.

No, I said it was earlier in the summer.
Q.
Okay. So you thought you met him earlier in the summer?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And then we talked about The Lion King, where you thought
you were 14 when you saw the Broadway show, but then realized
you were not; correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
It actually came out when you were 17; correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
Now, you recall meeting Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes fame in
New York, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And you believed that you were 15 when you met him?
A.
I don't remember.
Q.
You met him with Epstein, I should clarify, right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And your first meeting with the government -- I'll have you
look at 3509-001 on page 5 in the middle of the page.
A.
I see it.
Q.
And you told the government about meeting Mike Wallace?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And that was Mike Wallace's 80th birthday party; correct?
A.
I think so.
Q.
And you came in and said happy birthday to Mr. Wallace;
correct?

Q.
And that's when you were 15?
A.
I'm not sure. That's why it says approximately. I
couldn't remember, and I don't know how old Mike Wallace was

He has passed away.

You recall it being his 80th birthday party though;

No, I don't know.
Q.
If I can have you take a look at J-33, on the right side.
Do you have any reason to believe that that birthday is
incorrect?
MS. MOE: Objection.
THE COURT: Sustained.
Q.
Does it refresh your recollection?
MS. MOE: Objection.
THE COURT: Sustained. No basis for refreshing.
Q.
It's true that Mike Wallace's birthday party, 80th birthday
party, was in May of 1998; correct?

Q.
And in June of 2020, you answered, through your attorney,
interrogatories, right?
A.
Right.
Q.
And interrogatory number nine, if I could have you turn to
that, on page 4, asked you to identify all persons other than
decedent, Mr. Epstein, who have ever committed or attempted to
commit sexual misconduct or offenses against or otherwise
concerning you, including, without limitation, any unwelcome
behavior of a sexual nature, sexual abuse, sexual assault,
threats or intimidation of a sexual nature or sexual
exploitation, regardless of whether the misconduct or offenses
involved physical touching, and you responded none. Correct?
MS. MOE: Objection.
THE COURT: Are you moving this?
MS. MENNINGER: Yes, your Honor, this interrogatory.
MS. MOE: Your Honor, I think the record is that this
witness doesn't recognize it, doesn't know anything about it,
and so for that reason we'd object.

document.

Q.
I want to ask you about your meetings with the government.
When you met with the FBI and the government, did you cover
every detail of your entire relationship with Maxwell and
Epstein in every meeting with the government, or did you talk
about different topics at different times at different

I want to back up and ask you about your first meetings
with the government.
Can you explain for the jury, was it difficult to talk
to the government in your first meetings?
A.
Yes, absolutely.
Q.
Why was that difficult?
A.
Because I was sitting in a room full of strangers and
telling them the most shameful, deepest secrets that I'd been
carrying around with me my whole life.

Q.
In those first meetings, were you able to share with the
government all of the details of what had happened to you?
A.
No.
Q.
Why was that?
A.
Because it was too difficult, too difficult emotionally,
too difficult on every level.
Q.
Over time, did you become more comfortable sharing the
details about what happened to you with the government?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Why was that?
A.
Because I guess I became more familiar with the people
sitting in front of me, and starting to feel like I could trust
them, and it didn't feel quite as embarrassing.
Q.
Did there come a point in your meetings with the government
where fewer people were in the room?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And did you have an understanding at the time about why in
your meetings with the government there started to be fewer
people in the room?
A.
I believe it was to make me more comfortable.
Q.
And how did you feel once you started having meetings with
the government with fewer people in the room?

It started feeling easier.

Q.
In general, who was in the room?
A.
Just me and you guys.
Q.
You were asked some questions on cross-examination about
your living situation when you were in middle school and high
school living in Palm Beach. Do you remember those questions?
A.
Yes.
Q.
So I just want to ask you about where you were living at
the time. In the summer of 1994, when you first met Maxwell
and Epstein, where were you living?
MS. MENNINGER: Objection. Leading, your Honor.
THE COURT: Overruled. You may answer.
A.
That summer we were still living on Palma Way at my
mother's friend, Joan, in her pool house in her back yard, and
we -- when we came home from camp that summer, we were still
living in that place.
Q.
Did your family struggle financially during the years that
you were in high school?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Was there ever a time when you and your brothers had a hard
time paying for lunch at school?

Q.
Can you tell the jury what you remember about that?
A.
I mean, I remember my mother never had any money. She
didn't work, so she didn't have money to really pay for
anything. We had food stamps that she refused to use because
her pride was too big, and she would sort of, you know,
scrounge for quarters, and sometimes I would give my brothers
my lunch money and pretend like I had some so that they could
eat.
Q.
Did your family's financial circumstances improve after you
met Maxwell and Epstein?
A.
But -- no.
Q.
Did Jeffrey Epstein help your family financially?
A.
In some ways, yes.
Q.
Can you describe for the jury the ways that Jeffrey Epstein
helped your family financially?
A.
Well, he -- he handed me cash. He gave us a computer. He
paid for some school stuff. He -- he paid for Interlochen Arts
Camp for the next two summers. He paid for my younger
brother's Interlochen Arts Academy his entire year at boarding
school. Gave us gifts. And, you know, so on and so forth.
Q.
Did there come a time when your family moved out of the
pool house?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And where did you move to?

discussed, that three-bedroom house. My sister was the one who
rented it for us.
Q.
Approximately when did you move out of the pool house and
into the three-bedroom house?
A.
We moved out of the pool house in, I think, spring of '96.
Wait. Sorry. I'm tired. The spring of '95. Sorry.
Q.
Do you recall being asked some questions on
cross-examination about whether you traveled internationally
when you were in high school?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Just to be clear, did those trips have anything to do with
Maxwell and Epstein?
A.
No.
Q.
Without discussing any specifics about your family members,
do you have some family members who live abroad?
A.
Yes, that's -- the country that we would travel to, that's
where we were from, and any time those dates that were
discussed earlier, that would be a family trip home.
Q.
Do you recall being asked on cross-examination questions
about whether you had ever talked to a reporter?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And you were asked about whether you made a statement to a
tabloid about what had happened to you with Jeffrey Epstein.
Do you remember being asked about that?

A.
Well, it was a reporter who called me and said --
MS. MENNINGER: Objection. Hearsay, your Honor.
A.
Okay. Sorry.
MS. MOE: I'm happy to rephrase, your Honor.
THE COURT: Go ahead.
Q.
When you had that conversation with the reporter, did you
want to have that conversation?
A.
No.
Q.
Why did you agree to speak to that reporter?
A.
Because he basically blackmailed me.
MS. MENNINGER: Objection, your Honor. Hearsay.
THE COURT: Overruled. Go ahead.
A.
He said that he -- that court documents with my name on it
were unredacted, and that the Epstein's little black book was
out, and my name was in it, and he was going to print --
MS. MENNINGER: Objection, your Honor. Hearsay.
THE COURT: We'll limit what the witness has testified
to as not being offered for the truth of what was stated by
someone else but the effect on the listener.
And let's re-narrow the question.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. May I ask a leading
question to navigate through this?
THE COURT: Let me hear the question.

Q.
When you spoke with that reporter, did that reporter
threaten to reveal your identity publicly if you wouldn't speak
with him?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Is that why you spoke with the reporter?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Did you make an agreement with the reporter in order to
make sure your identity wasn't revealed?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And what was that agreement?
A.
The agreement was to briefly discuss only how I had met
Jeffrey Epstein.
Q.
And in exchange for doing that, what did the reporter agree
to do?
A.
He promised to keep my name anonymous.
Q.
Did the reporter keep your name anonymous?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Was that important to you at the time?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Why was that so important to you?
A.
It was important because I was -- I was scared. I was
embarrassed, ashamed. I didn't want anybody to know any of
this about me. I wanted to stay out of it. I -- I'm working
on a TV show, and I didn't want everybody to know that that was
me and associate me with any of this, and so I desperately did

name.
Q.
What were you scared of?
MS. MENNINGER: Objection, your Honor. Asked and
answered.
THE COURT: Sustained.
Q.
Approximately how long was that conversation with the
reporter?
A.
I don't remember.
Q.
Was it in person?
A.
No. It was in my car on the side of the road with my phone
plugged in.
Q.
Was that a phone conversation or an in-person conversation
in your car?
A.
Just a phone conversation.
Q.
Was it a detailed conversation?
A.
I tried to make it not so detailed.
Q.
You were asked some questions on cross-examination about
your attorney, Robert Glassman. Do you remember those
questions?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Can you just explain for the jury without getting into any
privileged conversations, how did you find this attorney?
A.
He was a referral. Actually, he's friends with my
husband's best friend, and I met with him, and I just liked

Q.
You were asked some questions on cross-examination about
your applications for admission to Interlochen. Do you
remember those questions?
A.
Yes.
Q.
I'd like to just ask you a few questions about those
particular applications.
A.
Okay.
MS. MOE: If I could just have a moment, I'm going to
grab a copy of them.
Your Honor, I'd ask for permission for the witness and
the jurors to view Defendant's Exhibit J-3 which I believ is in
evidence under seal.
THE COURT: Let me just verify. Yes.
MS. MOE: Thank you, your Honor. May the jurors turn
to that in their binders?
Ms. Menninger, without objection?
MS. MENNINGER: Yes, your Honor.
THE COURT: Jurors, you may pick up your binder and
turn to J-3, correct?
Q.
Jane, do you have that up in front of you?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Just to be clear, what we're talking about is Defendant's
Exhibit J-3, your application for admission to Interlochen for
the summer of 1994?

A.
Yes.
Q.
How old were you when you applied to go to Interlochen in
1994?
A.
13.
Q.
I want to ask you about a few things on this application.
But when I do, I just want to be careful we are not reading
anything into the record that's identifying about you.
If we could turn to the second page of that
application, and directing your attention to the second section
towards the bottom, do you remember Ms. Menninger asking you
questions about whether you told Interlochen you were having
any difficulties?
A.
I don't remember.
Q.
Let me just be clear about this portion of the application.
I want to direct your attention to the portion of the middle
section that says: List two difficult works performed in
orchestra, band or ensemble within the past year. Do you see
that question?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Is that the question you answered: Nothing has been
difficult for me?
A.
I guess I did.
Q.
And what did you mean when you said that?
A.
I have no idea.
Q.
At the time, were you fairly talented?

A.
Yes, and very cocky, apparently.
Q.
Just to be clear, nowhere in this application did you say
you weren't having any difficulties at home, right?
A.
No.
Q.
Were you having difficulties at home during this time?
A.
Absolutely, yes.
Q.
You were asked some questions about the recommendation
letters in your applications to Interlochen. Do you remember
those questions?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And you were asked about whether your recommenders talked
about your family in a favorable light. Do you remember those
questions?
A.
Yes.
Q.
The people who you asked to recommend you for Interlochen,
did they know what was going on in your house at home?
A.
No.
Q.
Why was that?
A.
Because we were very good at hiding what was going on at
home, and these recommendation letters are basically just from
our school teachers.
Q.
I want to ask you one last question about this application.

J-3. And I want to focus your attention at the top section

Q.
So, in the very -- I'm looking in the first page of
Defendant's Exhibit J-3 in the top header, the very first top
of the document under applicant information, do you see about

there?
A.
Yes. Yes. Sorry.
Q.

that summer?
A.

Q.
I want to ask you about the next year you went to
Interlochen. If you could turn to --

turn to Defendant's Exhibit J-4 which is in evidence under
seal.

all of this. This is something that I have been running from

Well, the first time was Ghislaine.
Q.
Why does that stand out to you in your memory?
A.
Because it was just significant. It's when that sort of
like fun, casual relationship I had with her just changed.
Q.
When you say the first time, when you talk about first
times, what do you mean by that?

Meaning that the first time I was ever like unclothed with

advance of his testimony, just to make sure that it is
compliant with the Federal Rules of Evidence, I would request
that the government give a proffer of what he is going to say,
as there are things in his 3500 material that did not come out
on direct examination, and it would be improper for him to be
able to testify as to things that are not prior consistent
statements.
THE COURT: There are things in his 3500 material that
the previous witness said to him --

for the record, with regard to the introduction of prior
consistent statements, it is my understanding that there needs
to be a similar exactitude as one would have with prior
inconsistent statements, and I understand that the government
is offering their next witness, Matt, to establish the fact
that there was some colloquy discussion between Matt and Jane
at an earlier time before this. I have no problem with that.
The issue is that, at least in the 3500 material, the
statements that Matt made are not -- they don't dovetail
entirely with what went on on the direct examination. One

example would be, his 3500 material is that she said that
Ms. Maxwell brought girls. There was no testimony to that.
There was testimony that there were women, but not
that she brought them. There was testimony of her presence,
but not necessarily that she told the group that everything
would be okay.
That's the kind of statements that are in the 3500
material. And I have addressed this with Ms. Moe. We're not
entirely sure how it will come out, but it isn't a prior
consistent statement. There is a prior conversation or
discussion, but the statements themselves are not consistent.
THE COURT: Ms. Moe.
MS. MOE: Your Honor, I believe the Court's ruling on
this is that we would evaluate the statements as they come out
through the witness. And as a preview, after conferring with
Ms. Sternheim on this issue, we did confer with Matt and asked
him about what he recalls, specifically about the woman he
recalls Jane telling him. Again, it's always difficult to
predict the precise testimony of a lay witness, but my general
expectation is that he would explain that in conversations with
Jane, she explained that there was a woman at the house who
made her feel comfortable; that sometimes there was that woman
at the house, sometimes there were girls; and so that made her
feel comfortable in the house.
I don't expect that the testimony would go beyond

that, but again, we're talking about a number of conversations
during this time period. That's my current expectation. But I
think with respect to I think some of the granular issues, the
difference between woman and girls, I think, especially in this
context is not so different that it would not be a prior
consistent statement. And beyond that, your Honor, we think
this tracks the rule.
MS. STERNHEIM: Judge, I disagree. The distinction
between a girl and a woman is precisely what this case is
about, and she was very clear that she felt like she was the
only one. The other people were women.
THE COURT: She said she didn't know what their ages
were.
MS. STERNHEIM: She didn't know their ages, but she
did not refer to them as girls.
THE COURT: But wasn't the recent testimony, I think
it was on cross, which was: Were there underage girls. And
she said, "I wouldn't know the ages."
MS. STERNHEIM: That's fine, but to call them girls
connotes that they are minors, and that parlays right into the
government's theory of the case, and they're bringing it out
through a witness whose sole purpose is substantiated prior
consistent statement, and that is not consistent with the
testimony that we've heard.
If he wants to say there were prior women, I can't

make objection to that, but I do object to the term girls, and
I do object to other aspects of his 3500 material insofar as
there was no testimony, and this witness should not be used to
supplant what the primary witness did not testify about.
THE COURT: I agree with you on that distinction.
This witness can't testify as a prior consistent statement that
Jane told him that there were -- I mean, there's ambiguity in
the term, but I think since the witness couldn't testify if
they were underage or not, I can't allow the witness to make
that as an implication since that implication wouldn't be
consistent with the testimony.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. I think on this point, to
be clear, the government doesn't intend to argue in closing
that the jury must infer from the evidence that there were
underage girls in the room because of Matt's testimony. I
think it is, unfortunately, common that often women above the
age of 18 are referred to as girls. That's how he remembers
it.
I would be happy to lead him through that testimony,
if the Court would prefer, and use the term females. It's not
our intention to elicit the testimony to suggest anything in
particular about the ages of those folks, but that's how he
remembers it, and that's the word he uses.
THE COURT: Why don't you -- I'll let you lead, but
why don't you just say other people, or something like that.

MS. MOE: If I ask him about that, I do expect he
would say, yes, other girls. And so I think unless it's a
leading question, I just want to front that in order to avoid
creating an issue there.
THE COURT: Yes. Well, lead, and that way I don't
have to strike the testimony as not a prior consistent
statement.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. If the Court authorizes us
to lead, I think we can navigate through this area.
THE COURT: Ms. Sternheim, okay if she leads through
this portion?
MS. STERNHEIM: I have no problem with that, Judge,
but if the witness on his own sua sponte says girls, I will be
objecting to that. I cannot rely on what they are going to do
or not do in closing.
THE COURT: I agree with that. That's why I said --
MS. STERNHEIM: That's fine.
THE COURT: -- I will let Ms. Moe lead so I don't have
to strike that testimony. I think we are in agreement that if
he were to testify that she told her that there were girls, the
implication would be underage; that implication wouldn't be a
prior consistent statement, and so I wouldn't allow that
implication to stay with the jury.
MS. STERNHEIM: I understand, and I thank you for
that. But the other part would be there was no testimony on

direct that Ms. Maxwell brought women. There were women there
but not that she brought them, and I think that Ms. Menninger
cleared that up on cross-examination as well.
THE COURT: Okay.
MS. MOE: Your Honor, particularly, if I'm permitted
to ask leading questions, I wouldn't expect to ask that
particular question.
THE COURT: Okay. You won't ask it, it sounds like.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
MS. STERNHEIM: Thank you Judge.
THE COURT: Okay. Thank you. Anything else?
MS. MOE: Your Honor, very briefly, I just wanted to
clarify because I believe in briefing the subject of prior
consistent statements, defense counsel had raised the prospect
of recall of the witness. So I just wanted to make sure in
terms of our contacts with Jane, we had clarity on that status.
THE COURT: Yes. And I didn't hear it from anyone on
the 615 issue on the timing that I said, so I assumed you
worked that out, correct?
MR. ROHRBACH: Yes, your Honor. Our understanding is
that none of the witnesses who are testifying as victims are
intending to observe any of the trial until at least both sides
have rested, which we've conveyed to the defense, and we
understand there would be no objection to that.
THE COURT: So then the open question is might there

be recall that would prohibit the government from conferring
with a witness who's completed their testimony?
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. We just wanted to navigate
that, otherwise I think we would make arrangements for Jane to
travel home to her family today. And so if we wanted to make
those arrangements, we will need to be in touch with her to
make those arrangements, otherwise not planning to have
substantive communications, but I wanted to be very transparent
and candid about those contacts and just the state-of-play on
this issue.
MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, my recollection is that
there was a second witness who was going to be offering prior
consistent statements for Jane.
MS. MOE: That's correct, your Honor. I think our
preference would be for Jane to be permitted to leave the
district, but if we can be in touch with her about the
possibility of a need for recall after today, if there are
additional prior consistent statements, we can navigate it that
way. Otherwise, Jane would have to remain in the district for
I think potentially a long time.
MS. MENNINGER: I have no objection to that, your
Honor. I do have one clarifying question, which is, while not
observing the trial in the courtroom, there is certainly
substantial coverage of the trial including relaying witnesses'
testimony. So I don't know whether that has been clarified

raised the 615 issue weeks ago, right? Maybe it surprised you
there's media coverage.
Why don't you talk -- I am going to bring in the jury,

Q.
Let me just take a step back and ask you some questions
about how that topic came up. In general, how would the topic
of Jane's home life come up during the course of your

There's different aspects of the home life, but just most
likely, I would say, getting to know her family and getting to

THE COURT: Do you want a more specific question?
MS. STERNHEIM: Well, that is hearsay. That is not
the basis of this witness's testimony.

THE COURT: We discussed this yesterday, didn't we?
MS. STERNHEIM: Judge, the witness is going to talk
about home life. It's not the subject matter of his testimony,
it's whether she revealed to him at a time earlier than meeting
with the government allegations concerning Ms. Maxwell.
THE COURT: Well, but Ms. Menninger crossed on the
veracity of her poverty and financial situation growing up and
the relationship with her mother, and I assume that's where
we're going.
MS. STERNHEIM: I think the government -- I don't
think that's the issue here. The issue is whether she stated
at sometime earlier that she was abused.
THE COURT: Well, that's true. But you've put in
issue her credibility about everything. Why did you cross her
on whether she grew up poor?
MS. STERNHEIM: Because they raised it. They raised
the fact that she lived in a pool house. The witness testified
under oath that she lost her home after her father died. I
don't think that's the issue --
THE COURT: So you've attacked her credibility on
that. You said her credibility on everything is an issue. You
specifically attacked her credibility on that. Why can't it

allegations in this case.
THE COURT: Right. For sure.
MS. STERNHEIM: But prior consistent, my father died,
I don't think that we're contesting that her father died.
THE COURT: Right. But you contested whether she grew
up poor, whether she had a relationship with her mother that
wouldn't allow her to -- you put all of those things at issue;
made a strong point that every inconsistency is an issue
because her credibility is central. Good for the goose, good
for the gander.
MS. STERNHEIM: No, that would mean they could pull
anyone she was involved with to support the fact that she had a
difficult --
THE COURT: What is the nature of your objection? So
that this witness -- I mean, either it's a prior consistent
statement or it's not. I don't understand -- so under the Rule
801(b)(3), right, that's the evidentiary objection. You
attacked her credibility on what she testified about her home
life. What is the evidentiary objection? Relevance? 403?
Tell me.

THE COURT: Ms. Moe, I'll ask you to rephrase, to
narrow the question.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
BY MS. MOE:
Q.
Matt, were there times when Jane would talk to you about
her family's financial circumstances when she was growing up?
A.
Yes.
Q.
What did she tell you about that?
A.
She told me that when her father got sick, that her mother
spent basically all of the money that they had for his
treatments, and obviously hoping that he would survive. And he
didn't. And basically she -- that she was the one who left
them broke.
Q.
And did Jane tell you what her family's financial
circumstances were like after her father passed away?
A.
Yes.
Q.
What did she tell you about that?
A.
That they basically had no money. The mother was working a
small job. And I think she said at one point the three of
the -- that her and her two brothers were sleeping in the same
bed at one point because they were living in such a small
place, and the three of them had to sleep in the same bed.
Q.
Did there come a time when Jane told you how she was able
to pay for things when she was a kid?

A.
Yes, she did.
Q.
Approximately what year was it when this conversation came
up?
A.
It's probably 2006, 2007, when we -- when we first started
dating, just getting to know each other.
Q.
What did Jane tell you during that conversation about how
she was able to pay for things when she was a kid?
A.
She said her mom had a job that paid basically nothing; and
that she had it -- it was like a godfather, an uncle, a family
friend type person that basically helped her mom pay the bills.
Q.
Is this something Jane discussed with you once or more than
once during the course of your relationship?
A.
More than once.
Q.
During the conversations with Jane about this godfather
figure, did you come to learn the name of the uncle figure or
godfather figure?
A.
Yes, I did.
Q.
What did she tell you his name was?
A.
His name is Jeffrey Epstein.
Q.
In general, when Jane would talk with you about her
experiences with Jeffrey Epstein, how would that topic come up?
A.
First it was purely that he was -- you know, that he was a
godfather and, you know, he was looking out for her family.
And then the topic came up when she came to me when --
I think it was in two thousand -- like 2009, she was contacted,

I think, by the FBI to see if she would tell her story, if she
had a story.
And she came to me and she said, I need to tell you
something.
And I said, Yeah.
And she said, You know the godfather that I told you
about, the person that was helping my family?
And I said, Yes, I do.
And she said, I need you to know that this is who it
is.
And it was public news.
And that's when I said, That guy is your godfather?
That's the guy that was helping you pay your bills and your
family's bills?
And she said, Yes.
Q.
Did Jane tell you when she met Jeffrey Epstein?
A.
Yes.
Q.
What did Jane tell you about when she met Jeffrey Epstein?
A.
She told me she met him shortly after --
THE COURT: Just a minute. Just a minute.
THE WITNESS: Sorry.
THE COURT: More specific question.

foundation for that and return to it later, if that's
acceptable.

Did there ever come a time when Jane explained to you why

told me the name of the person and --
Q.
What did Jane tell you about why it was that she received
this money from Jeffrey Epstein?
A.
Well, once -- once I learned who it was, I asked her if she
was one of the girls, and she said that she was.
MS. STERNHEIM: Objection.
THE COURT: I'll sustain the objection.
The jury will disregard the last statement of the
witness. And you'll ask a specific question, Ms. Moe.
BY MS. MOE:
Q.
Did Jane tell you what happened between her and Jeffrey
Epstein during the years that she knew him?

Q.
Why did you ask her about the woman in the house?

THE COURT: Okay.
(At sidebar)
THE COURT: What do you expect the witness to say?
MS. MOE: That he recalls being present when Jane and
her mother were in a room. He recalls Jane saying to her
mother, How could you not know the money wasn't for free? How
could you not know?
THE COURT: Is that in 3500 material?
MS. MOE: Yes, I'm happy to pull it up.
MS. STERNHEIM: There's been no testimony by Jane
about confrontation with her mother at this time. She
testified that her mother was irate regarding a guidance
counsellor, but she didn't go toe-to-toe with her mother about
Jeffrey Epstein.
THE COURT: So it's in the 3500 material; it's not the
first time you're hearing it.
MS. STERNHEIM: I don't recall if it's this witness or
her brother.
THE COURT: Okay.
MS. STERNHEIM: But even if it is in the 3500
material, if it is not on the direct of Jane, why can it be
offered as a prior consistent statement when it never was
offered at all?

frustration about that. That is entirely consistent with her
testimony that she was, in fact, abused.
MS. STERNHEIM: But not with regard to her mother
having a confrontation.
THE COURT: Well, it's a prior consistent statement
that he heard related to the abuse which you've repeatedly
called into question in your opening and your direct and in
your cross-examination.
MS. STERNHEIM: Judge, I understand that. But we're
talking about prior consistent statements.
THE COURT: Right. The prior consistent statement is
that she was abused by Jeffrey Epstein.
MS. STERNHEIM: But they are bringing out a
conversation. If she wants to say, Did you know or learn that
she was abused? Yes. But a conversation that she had with her
mother is hearsay.
MS. MOE: Your Honor, it's not hearsay because it's a
prior consistent statement of Jane about her experiencing
sexual abuse.
THE COURT: Yes. Overruled.

A.
I oversee the finance department, including accounts
payable, accounts receivable, our purchasing, payroll. I'm
involved in overseeing director of campus safety and security,
as well as the director of dining services. And I'm involved
with the auditors, the banks, the investment companies, as well
as external audits.
Q.
And in that capacity, are you familiar with the normal
business practices of Interlochen?
A.
Yes.
Q.
In particular, are you familiar with the business practices
regarding communications with donors?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Does Interlochen maintain records of its communications
with donors?
A.
Yes.
Q.
What sorts of records?
A.
For our major donors or prospects, we keep all
correspondence with donors, whether it might be a letter, email
correspondence, records of phone conversations, notes from
visits with donors, things like that.
Q.
Let's talk about letters in particular. How are letters
that are written to donors created?
A.
The letters are created by an individual in our advancement
department who's charged with managing that particular donor
relationship. And so they would be the ones that would write a

letter to a donor or to a foundation.
Q.
Is there any relationship between the level of donation
given and the person writing the letter to the donor?
A.
Yes. Yup. For example, our vice president of advancement
or even our president would handle a higher-end donor that
might be capable of donating half a million dollars or more,
for example. And we would have major gift officers that would
be below that vice president of advancement that would handle
folks with capacity to give $100,000, $200,000, something like
that.
Q.
When these letters are written to donors, does Interlochen
put them in any sort of file?
A.
Yes, yup. We keep track of all correspondence with donors.
Nowadays, it's all electronic within Salesforce, which is the
software we use to track fundraising and donations.
Historically, we have hard copy letters, for example. Prior to
using Salesforce, we've got manila folders or files that we
kept for each donor that includes all of the correspondence
over time with that donor.
Q.
How long are those records kept?
A.
They are kept forever.
Q.
And are they kept by Interlochen in the ordinary course of
business?
A.
Yes.

Mr. Besselsen, what is this document?

lodge?
A.
A scholarship lodge is a rental lodge, a small home on our
campus where parents of campers or academy students can come
stay on campus, be close to the performance venues and things
like that. So parents or guests of Interlochen or even the
general public who come stay in this rental lodge and pay a --
like a fee, like a hotel room to stay in.

Q.
Mr. Besselsen, you testified earlier that you generated

Q.
What is it, without saying any names?
A.
This is an application for admission to our arts camp in
the summer of 1996.
Q.
Do you see the -- without saying any identifying
information, do you see the address in the third section of
this document?
A.
I do.
Q.
Is that the same address or a different address than the
other address that you're looking at?
A.
I believe it's a different address.
Q.
Just to be clear, you think it's a different address?
A.
Yes, it's a different address.
Q.
Thank you.
MR. ROHRBACH: No further questions, your Honor.
THE COURT: Okay. Thank you.
Ms. Sternheim?
MS. STERNHEIM: May I have a moment please?
THE COURT: You may.
(Counsel conferred)
MS. STERNHEIM: Thank you, Judge.
THE COURT: Do you anticipate more than five minutes?
MS. STERNHEIM: Maybe less.
THE COURT: Go ahead.

Q.
Mr. Besselsen, just a few questions for you.
A.
Yes.
Q.
With regard to the --
THE COURT: Take off your mask.
MS. STERNHEIM: Thank you.
Q.
With regard to the applications that have been put in
evidence, did you produce to the government who paid for that
student?
A.
I did not provide that to the government; so no, I'm not
aware that we did provide that.
Q.
Because you do not have those records; correct?
A.
I believe that's correct, going back that far.
Q.
And you don't have records for the siblings of that
individual either; correct?
A.
I believe so.
Q.
And that would be for the years of attendance of those
three siblings, 1994, 1995, and 1996; correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
Now, with regard to Mr. Epstein's invitation to come to the
lodge, it was for the end of August; correct?
A.
I believe the letter mentioned from Interlochen's vice
president of advancement that we were having the final concert
for our arts camp, I think it was August 7 or the week of
August 7, I believe.
Q.
And is it fair to say that in Interlochen, which some

people call band camp, that the end is like the equivalent of
color war for athletic camps?
A.
I'm sorry, I don't have any experience with color war.
Q.
Okay.
A.
I don't know what that term means.
Q.
It's when the performances are; it's the culmination of the
summer experience. Correct?
A.
That's true, yeah.
Q.
And it is then that performances are going on as opposed to
classes going on; correct?
A.
The final day there are performances. I'm not sure if the
entire week is like that or not, but --
Q.
But nonetheless, the donors, especially the major donors,
come for the performances; correct?
A.
Yes. Some major donors do come to campus for performances.
Q.
And Mr. Epstein certainly was a major donor; correct?
A.
Correct.
Q.
And the invitation for him to have the lodge was for the
period of time which is the culmination of the summer program;
correct?
A.
That would be correct, I would imagine, yes.
MS. STERNHEIM: May I have one moment, Judge?
THE COURT: Okay.

MS. STERNHEIM: You're finished. Thank you.

THE WITNESS: Oh, thank you.
THE COURT: All right. Mr. Rohrbach?
MR. ROHRBACH: No redirect. Thank you.
THE COURT: All right.
Mr. Besselsen, you may step down. You are excused.
(Witness excused)
THE COURT: And that gets us at 5:02, jury. I
apologize for keeping you a little bit late.
I will remind you of all of my instructions, of
course. Please keep them in mind. Same schedule for tomorrow.
Thank you for your continued attention and diligence. Have a
great night. See you tomorrow morning.
(Jury not present)
THE COURT: You may be seated.
Matters to take up, Mr. Rohrbach?
MR. ROHRBACH: Nothing from the government, your
Honor.
THE COURT: Ms. Sternheim?
MS. COMEY: I apologize, your Honor. We do have an
issue. We will need to take it up at sidebar because it
relates to a pseudonym issue.
THE COURT: Okay. Sidebar pseudonym issue.
MS. COMEY: It will be brief, your Honor.

THE COURT: Okay. See you 8:45.
The only thing I wanted to -- this isn't sealed. But
timing, if you're going to brief piercing the privilege.
MR. PAGLIUCA: When would you like it, your Honor?
THE COURT: A month ago.
MS. STERNHEIM: We can turn back the hands of time.
THE COURT: I wish we could.
MS. STERNHEIM: I don't think you would.
We might, but not you.
MR. PAGLIUCA: I think it's a little more complicated
than -- I think there are different issues related to different
potential witnesses, I guess is the issue.
I'm happy to have it briefed as best we can under the
facts that we know right now, assuming that the Court wants
briefed is the issue we discussed today. Okay. Because then
we may have issues related to lawyer witnesses that are under
subpoena, but will not be called under any circumstances unless
it's briefed and the Court gives permission for the calling of
those witnesses.
THE COURT: Let's start with the limited issue that
was raised today, which is that you would call -- you're
seeking to call Glassman.
MR. PAGLIUCA: Glassman.
THE COURT: You're seeking to call Glassman on the

narrow question of whether under theory of waiver he told Jane
that it would -- testifying would help her in her case.
When would you like to do that?
MR. PAGLIUCA: How about Friday, your Honor?
THE COURT: This would be a witness you would call in
your case-in-chief?
MR. PAGLIUCA: Exactly. So it's at least a week from
now, I would imagine. I'm assuming the government has about a
week more of testimony, by my review of the witness list.
MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I think that's right. We're
unlikely to rest in less than a week from now.
THE COURT: So is Friday okay?
MR. ROHRBACH: We can respond on Monday, if that's all
right.
THE COURT: Sure. Great.
It will provide some general background on piercing
privilege and waiver to the extent that will inform issues
beyond the specific.
MR. PAGLIUCA: To the extent we can preview the
additional issues, we'll get that underway as well so that you
have a sense of what may or may not be coming down the road
here.
THE COURT: Okay. Can I ask, thinking about timing,
now that we're where we are, what is your estimate for the
trial?

MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I think it depends on the
length of cross-examination for some of the more substantial
witnesses. If we can expect about the same length as we have
with Jane today, I expect we'll be able to rest the third week
of trial. So not next week, but the week after, early that
week is my best estimate.
THE COURT: And what's the defense's best estimate?
MS. STERNHEIM: We'll let you know.
MR. PAGLIUCA: I'm going to suspect the length of
cross-examination will be less for the remaining witnesses.
THE COURT: We worked out some --
MR. PAGLIUCA: Kinks, yes.
But I just think substantively it's likely to be less,
and there's likely -- well, with the exception of one, there's
less 3500 impeachment material that needs to be gone through
potentially, so I think that will shorten the length of
cross-examination. And we will have whatever we need to have
ready to go, understanding the format we're doing this in now.
THE COURT: All right. See you in the morning.
