UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,¶

v. 20 CR 330 (AJN)¶

HON. ALISON J. NATHAN,¶

4 THE COURT: Go ahead, Ms. Menninger.¶

5 6 7 MS. MENNINGER: We learned early this morning through a disclosure by the government that they have spoken with witness Brian.¶

8 9 THE COURT: I’m sorry, could you pull up the mic closer please. Thank you.¶

10 11 12 MS. MENNINGER: That they had spoken with witness Brian, who was anticipated to testify today. Brian is the brother of witness Jane.¶

13 THE COURT: Correct.¶

14 15 16 17 18 19 20 recall, your Honor, we had litigation around prior consistent statements; and that Brian is being offered in part to report supposedly prior consistent statements with Jane. We had discussions about whether Jane would be subject to recall in order to be questioned about those particular prior consistent statements, should they be admitted.¶

21 22 23 24 25 What we learned from the government early this morning is that after her testimony, Jane called Brian and discussed with Brian her testimony in court, in violation of the Court’s sequestration order. She disclosed to him a document that she was shown on the stand during cross-examination; she gave her¶

(Trial resumed; jury not present)¶

THE COURT: Matters to take up.¶

characterization of the defense attorney who cross-examined her, using an expletive that rhymes with “front.” And that was told to this witness, who is anticipated to be testifying today, who is obviously also subject to the Court’s sequestration order.¶

I am very troubled and disturbed that witnesses who are still subject to recall are calling other witnesses that they know will be called to testify; that will be called to testify about their memories of events that happened years ago; and that they are disclosing to witnesses — this witness - what they experienced on the witness stand, including a document that they were shown, your Honor.¶

I am asking the Court to forbid the witness Brian from being called, given this violation. At a minimum, your Honor, I would ask that there is a hearing outside the presence of the jury in which Brian is subject to examination by the Court as to exactly what happened during this phone call. Those are the two pieces of information that he reported to the government and was reported to us via some handwritten notes at about 2 this morning. That’s my request, your Honor.¶

MS. MOE: Your Honor, there are only two legal principles at play here. The first is Rule 615 about excluding witnesses from a courtroom. Neither Brian nor Jane has been in the courtroom while other witnesses have testified. That rule¶

4 5 The other legal principle is that the government cannot have substantive communications with Jane because she is subject to recross about prior consistent statements. We have not violated that legal principle either.¶

6 7 8 9 10 11 With respect to communications between Jane and Brian, we have disclosed our awareness of that and defense counsel is free to cross-examine Brian about those communications; that’s all the law requires. There is no sequestration order that prevents family members from talking to one another; of course, it’s not best practice.¶

12 THE COURT: Did the government give any guidance?¶

13 14 15 Just on the first point, witnesses sequestered, so not in the courtroom, could they be provided by another witness or an attorney the transcript of the trial testimony?¶

16 17 MS. MOE: I have no awareness of whether that’s occurred, your Honor.¶

18 19 20 21 22 THE COURT: No, it’s just to test the boundaries of what you suggested in the first point, which is the only question is whether they observed trial or not. And I don’t think — I think that strikes me, I haven’t looked at the law on this, as an overstatement.¶

23 24 25 For example, I don’t think a witness could be provided, consistent with a sequestration order, the transcript of trial testimony; and I wondered if the government agreed¶

has been fully complied with.¶

4 5 6 7 MS. MOE: Your Honor, I haven’t looked at the law on that particular issue. That would strike me as sort of consistent with being in a courtroom to see the testimony. And I’m not aware of that occurring in this case; we certainly haven’t been providing trial witnesses with transcripts of testimony. I’m not aware of any attorney doing that either.¶

8 9 10 I think what we’re talking about is a conversation between two siblings in which one sibling shared that her experience in court was unpleasant.¶

11 THE COURT: Pull up the mic please.¶

12 MS. MOE: Apologies, your Honor.¶

13 14 15 16 17 I think what we’re talking about here, your Honor, is a conversation between two siblings in which one sibling said she had an unpleasant experience in court; and that she was shown a document on the stand that was — I don’t know all the details of this conversation, just what’s been relayed to me.¶

18 19 20 21 THE COURT: Can I back up and ask if the government gave any direction in advance about not discussing trial testimony with other witnesses, which I think probably would constitute best practices.¶

22 MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.¶

23 24 25 Following Jane’s testimony, I spoke with her attorney. I don’t want to make a representation that’s not accurate. My memory of that conversation is that I told him and reminded him¶

with that proposition.¶

that she was potentially subject to recall and recross. And so my understanding is that he understood the rules about that; and that we couldn’t speak with her; and that she was still a trial witness subject to recall. I don’t remember whether I repeated, sort of, the ground rules about trial witnesses. That’s all I remember from that conversation, your Honor.¶

THE COURT: And did the government prior to trial give — was there any direction given on this issue — since this witness is being provided for prior consistent statements, did the government give any direction either to the witnesses or to their counsel that they ought not to confer in light of the reason that the witness is being offered?¶

Off the top of my head, I can’t point to a particular date or a particular conversation; but it’s our practice — and what we did in this case — is to tell every witness that their memory should be their memories and they shouldn’t be talking to other witnesses before the trial. So I’m confident we did that in this case; I just can’t remember a particular date of a particular conversation, but we’ve been having those conversations with all of our witnesses.¶

THE COURT: And how did the government learn about this conversation?¶

MS. MOE: Last night we had a meeting with Brian. And he, unprompted, mentioned that he had heard from Jane that she¶

4 5 6 7 8 THE COURT: It sounds like maybe more than that it wasn’t pleasant; sounds like part of what was relayed — that’s not the part that concerns me. Needless to say, the point that’s concerning is whether she coached him on her responses so that his testimony regarding prior consistent statements would show consistency. That’s, I think, the only —¶

9 MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.¶

10 11 12 13 THE COURT: I’m not sure there’s any relevance although it’s concerning, I’m not sure there’s any relevance to a description of the process is unpleasant or that they did or didn’t like the lawyers and how they were treated.¶

14 MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.¶

15 16 17 18 19 20 On the subject of the prior consistent statement, I would note — and the 3500 material reflects this — that Brian had relayed the substance of his testimony to the government and it’s memorialized in 3500 long before this conversation happened. He has been on our witness list for some time; he’s met with the government long before this trial began.¶

21 22 23 24 25 And so to the extent there is any suggestion that his testimony is prompted by a recent conversation with Jane during the trial, that’s belied by the record here, which is that he has relayed to us those prior consistent statements substantially in advance of the trial.¶

had called him after her testimony and relayed that her experience wasn’t pleasant.¶

25¶

With respect to his communications with Jane, we memorialized what Brian told us about that in our notes and provided them to defense; and so we’ve been transparent about that.¶

I don’t think those notes or that conversation in any way suggests that witnesses are doing something improper or that anyone is coaching anyone to say something in particular. And again, this witness has been on the record with the government about this issue long before the trial.¶

THE COURT: Well, obviously if I allow the testimony, it’s fair grounds for cross, needless to say.¶

MS. MOE: Of course, your Honor.¶

THE COURT: And where is he in the order of things today?¶

MS. MOE: He would be the next witness after the witness who’s currently on the stand.¶

THE COURT: Ms. Menninger, so given the timing of where we are, do you have any authority to support the proposition that — other than obviously it being fair grounds for cross, that this is a violation of order or law that would suggest a quite substantial remedy of excluding testimony?¶

MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, I have not had time to research this. I think that the disclosure came in around 3 o’clock in the morning. And without revealing what time I got up, I have not had time to research that question between when¶

I got up and when I came to court this morning. I have checked the Westlaw headnotes and there certainly are cases where witnesses are excluded for far more minor infractions than this.¶

THE COURT: But infractions of what?¶

MS. MENNINGER: A sequestration order like walked into a courtroom briefly, you know, or an agent was in the room and heard some of the confidential informant’s testimony. That’s what I’ve briefly learned from looking at headnotes, your Honor.¶

Part of my concern is that what you’ve just heard from the government is those are the two things that Brian volunteered to them. They said they don’t know exactly what happened in this conversation. And for all we know, there’s more to the conversation than what Brian volunteered, because they may have said, II, whoa, don’t tell us anymore about that.¶

So that’s one of the reasons why my request is to find out exactly what was communicated to him by Jane before he gets on the stand; and that, I would submit, is something that the Court could ask him about under oath outside the presence of the jury to determine exactly the scope of the violation here. Because we only know of one document that she told him she had been shown on the stand. I don’t know if she told —¶

THE COURT: Do we know what document?¶

He volunteered that it was the Interlochen application that she was shown and was asked, as you know, questions about on the stand. So whether there were other disclosures in that conversation, they weren’t written down in the notes. And I suggest that maybe it is important to learn that information before the Court makes a determination about exactly the magnitude of the violation here, your Honor.¶

MS. MOE: Your Honor, I would direct the Court’s attention to our note on this, which is marked 3510-020.¶

THE COURT: Can I have it?¶

While Ms. Drescher is getting that, go ahead, Ms. Moe.¶

The note reflects —¶

MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, I have a paper copy, if you’d like.¶

Go ahead, Ms. Moe.¶

The note reflects in the middle of the page that Brian told the government, after Jane testified, she called Brian. Jane did not discuss her testimony. She just told Brian that he should know that the defense attorney is a expletive; and he should know that’s what this will be like. Jane mentioned she was shown an Interlochen application.¶

And on that score, your Honor, I would note that the¶

4 5 6 MS. MENNINGER: The point is we don’t know if that’s the only thing she told him; that’s just what he volunteered to the government.¶

7 8 9 10 THE COURT: All right. Let’s do this. We’ll have Brian not testify till after lunch. I think the first task is the government to fully inquire what Brian learned from Jane or anyone else about testimony that’s taken place.¶

11 MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.¶

12 We’d be happy to have that conversation.¶

13 14 15 With respect to scheduling issues, just in terms of the sequencing today, I would note that we anticipate calling — your Honor, if I could have just one moment.¶

16 THE COURT: Sure.¶

17 (Counsel conferred)¶

18 MS. MOE: Thank you, your Honor.¶

19 20 21 22 23 24 25 I just wanted to think through a scheduling issue because we have a witness who will be testifying beginning probably later this morning, and that testimony may be fairly long. And for scheduling reasons, Brian had planned to fly home tomorrow; and so it may be, just depending on the sequencing of this issue, that we might request to call him out of order to accommodate that. But we can see how the timing¶

Interlochen application is not the basis of any prior consistent statement. I don’t anticipate asking him on direct about his Interlochen application at all.¶

4 5 6 7 8 9 THE COURT: Well, we’re not going to speed up Brian because he’s planning to fly home today. The question is when we have sufficient time to inquire whether there’s been an effective violation of the sequestration order and, if so, what the appropriate remedy for that is. So that’s going to require a factual investigation by the government, and then legal analysis from both sides as to what an appropriate remedy is in light of what we learn factually.¶

10 11 12 MS. MOE: Of course, your Honor. I just wanted to flag a scheduling concern. I certainly don’t mean to expedite the issue. We’ll thoroughly examine it.¶

13 THE COURT: Okay. Ms. Menninger, is that¶

14 MS. MENNINGER: Yes, your Honor.¶

15 16 THE COURT: — sufficient in light of where we are at the moment?¶

17 MS. MENNINGER: Yes, your Honor.¶

18 THE COURT: Okay. Other issues?¶

19 MS. MENNINGER: Yes, your Honor.¶

20 21 22 23 24 25 I also conferred with the government this morning in light of the briefing last night on Mr. Flatley’s testimony. Because the letter that we received from the government is different from what I was told during a conferral on Friday on this topic. So I’ve tried to narrow the issues as I understand them to be.¶

goes today and flag that later on.¶

4 5 6 Your Honor, with respect to any testimony that was in the November 26 disclosure, which I believe is not what was disclosed earlier in September, but most of it is what I would agree is factual testimony. If a document has metadata, any old person can right-click on it, look at the properties, and read what those properties are.¶

7 8 9 10 11 12 13 There’s only one portion of the November 26 disclosure that I believe treads into opinion expert land, and that is on the second page of the November 26 disclosure where Mr. Flatley will testify that he verified the accuracy of metadata by running a particular program. He will explain what metadata is, such as the file name and when the file was created, and where it can be stored in a computer system.¶

14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Your Honor, if those are the only things that Mr. Flatley intends to testify about, then I think we’re fine. It’s the things that came in the disclosures on November there were more on November 26 that were not in this letter and there were things on December 3rd that were disclosed. If he is limited to those things that were put in the September 26 disclosure, I’m fine with that, your Honor.¶

21 22 23 24 25 He also was not ever disclosed as a fact or expert witness with regard to CDs. The original notice and the supplemental notice all refer to his review of devices. So I believe that the government does not intend to put on evidence about CDs through him, but those are the two areas that I think 4 MR. ROHRBACH: Your Honor, as I think our letter indicated, we’re quite surprised to receive the defendant’s —¶

5 6 7 8 THE COURT: Mr. Rohrbach, let’s just get to the issue. It sounds like it’s narrowed to two things. Every letter I get, it starts with, we’re so surprised or this has already been litigated. Let’s just get to the issue.¶

9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 MR. ROHRBACH: So, your Honor, I think we’re in a pretty good place then. Mr. Flatley is not going to go into very much — we obviously don’t know exactly what Mr. Flatley will say on the stand, but the questions and what we expect to elicit should track the government’s November 26 letter. And so it sounds like if defense counsel doesn’t have a problem with what’s in this letter, then there is no issue here for the Court.¶

17 18 19 20 21 22 I’m not exactly sure what Ms. Menninger is referencing with regard to CDs, but I think that we expect Mr. Flatley to give purely fact testimony regarding CDs, and there’s no expert opinion at all involved there. To the extent that it’s a late disclosure of anything, it’s just a factual view of Mr. Flatley that is in the 3500 material that he¶

23 24 25 II. MENNINGER: Your Honor, on the CDs, apparently Mr. Flatley intends to testify that a created date is the same thing as a modified date. And also about once a file is burned¶

we’re down to, your Honor.¶

4 onto a CD, it can’t be unburned. Those are, I think, what the government represented in their letter of last night he intended to talk about, which have never been disclosed to us as his intended testimony.¶

5 6 7 8 9 MR. ROHRBACH: Your Honor, as we said in our letter last night, we don’t intend to elicit those things on direct; but also those are factual pieces of knowledge that you can understand without having any specialized training or experience if you just have used a CD burner before.¶

10 11 MS. MENNINGER: If it’s not coming out on direct, your Honor, then I don’t think it matters.¶

12 THE COURT: Okay.¶

13 14 15 16 17 18 MS. MENNINGER: But as to the other ones, I will just make an objection if there’s something that’s not in the November 26 letter. I think the government knows what their witness is going to say because they are going to ask him questions. And if it’s a question that calls for things that weren’t disclosed, then I’ll bring it to the Court’s attention.¶

19 THE COURT: Okay.¶

20 MR. ROHRBACH: That’s fine, your Honor.¶

21 22 23 24 25 THE COURT: I do want to press a little bit on the CD bit; because I want to know what in the government’s mind would happen on cross that would lead the government to redirect with respect to the created date is the same as the modified date or once burned on CD, can’t be unburned. I don’t want to have the government being too cute here and saying we’re not going to do it on direct, but you know full well you’re going to do it on redirect.¶

4 MR. ROHRBACH: Understood, your Honor.¶

5 6 7 If I could confer with Ms. Pomerantz, she’s putting it on; but I suspect it really is unlikely to come out on redirect at all.¶

8 9 THE COURT: Okay. (Counsel conferred)¶

10 11 12 13 14 15 MR. ROHRBACH: Your Honor, the government is not planning to talk with Mr. Flatley on direct about CDs. So it’s hard to imagine what exactly would happen on cross that would make this an issue; but, of course, the government doesn’t want to limit itself by promising under no circumstances will it elicit this information.¶

16 17 18 THE COURT: Okay. So if you’re not going to ask about CDs on direct, if he’s not crossed on CDs, that’s the end of the matter.¶

19 20 21 MR. ROHRBACH: Yes, your Honor. THE COURT: Ms. Menninger, does that get us where we need?¶

22 MS. MENNINGER: That’s fine, your Honor. Thank you.¶

23 24 25 THE COURT: Okay. Great. Thank you both. All right. Well, it sounds like all that work we did on Flatley last night will just go in the can for future use.¶

I think the only outstanding issue from yesterday is the objection to Exhibit 309. I’m sustaining that objection on 401/403 grounds.¶

What else do we need?¶

MS. MENNINGER: Nothing else from the defense, your Honor.¶

MS. MOE: Your Honor, may we briefly be heard at sidebar about an issue relating to potential cross-examination of Brian that implicates a privacy interest?¶

THE COURT: Okay. So this will be sealed; correct?¶

THE COURT: I do have a request for lengthy sealed proceedings that we do them in the robing room because of the physical taxing on the court reporter. So if you think it will be short, we can do it here; if it will be more than five minutes, we should do it in the robing room.¶

. MENNINGER:¶

Q. Ms. Meder, do you recognize the handwriting on 3531-12?¶

Q. Is that your handwriting?¶

A. It is.¶

Q. Are these some of your notes that you took when you were doing this photograph review?¶

Q. And if you could just look at a couple of the pages and tell me whether it refreshes your recollection about the number of photographs that you reviewed.¶

Q. Can you tell the jury now about how many photographs you think you reviewed?¶

A. Several thousand.¶

Q. In one set, there was more than 20,000, is that right, on page 2?¶

A. I’m not seeing the 20,000.¶

Q. In the box in the middle of the page on page 2, it’s on the backside.¶

Q. On another set, there was somewhere between four and ten thousand; is that right?¶

Q. And in another set, there was about 18,000, on page 4?¶

A. That might have been the total.¶

4 A. Correct.¶

5 6 Q. So eighteen and twenty thousand in a couple different sets that you have reflected in these notes; right?¶

24 Q. You don’t have personal knowledge, do you?¶

Q. Okay. So not the four to ten, but the eighteen?¶

Q. You don’t have personal knowledge about when these photos were taken; correct?¶

4 5 Q. But you don’t know if those dates are accurate from personal knowledge, do you?¶

6 7 A. I’m not a computer expert, so I wouldn’t be able to confirm it, but they are written on the CDs.¶

8 9 Q. There are notes on the CDs and you don’t know if they’re accurate; correct?¶

11 12 Q. You don’t know whether the photos were altered by anyone before they went onto the CD?¶

7 8 MS. COMEY: I’m just asking her about the initials that were elicited during cross examination.¶

9 10 11 12 MS. MENNINGER: I did not elicit the hearsay, your Honor. I elicited that there were initials and not what they were, because she just testified she does not know whether those initials are accurate.¶

8 9 A. That means I mentor other people and handle the day-to-day activities.¶

10 Q. Do you have any other roles on the CART team?¶

11 12 A. I am a senior examiner. I am also a field instructor from Quantico.¶

13 14 Q. You mentioned that you’re an examiner. What kind of examiner are you?¶

15 A. I am a forensic — digital forensic examiner.¶

16 17 Q. How long have you been a forensic digital examiner for the FBI on the CART team?¶

18 A. 16 and a half years.¶

19 Q. What did you do prior to joining the FBI?¶

20 A. I was a computer consultant and programmer.¶

21 22 23 MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, I think since we’re just doing fact testimony that any more than this would be inappropriate under 702.¶

24 THE COURT: Okay. You can move on. Thank you.¶

25 MS. POMERANTZ: Thank you, your Honor.¶

CART.¶

Q. And what is CART?¶

4 5 A. Things like computers, thumb drives, CDs, anything that stores information in a digital format.¶

6 7 Q. Taking a step back, what does it mean to forensically examine an electronic device?¶

8 9 A. Basically we just categorize and organize the data so it’s easier to look through.¶

10 Q. Mr. Flatley, what is considered a computer?¶

11 12 13 14 A. To be considered a computer, a device has to have four characteristics. It has to take input, it has to give output, it has to have some kind of processor, and have some kind of storage.¶

15 Q. Where is information stored on a computer?¶

16 A. On your average computer, it’s stored on the hard drive.¶

17 Q. What is a hard drive?¶

18 A. It’s an electromechanical device for storing digital data.¶

19 20 Q. When you analyze digital evidence, what, if anything, do you know about the case?¶

21 A. Usually nothing.¶

22 23 Q. Mr. Flatley, did there come a time when you examined digital evidence in this case?¶

24 A. Yes, there did.¶

25 Q. In approximately what year or years?¶

Q. You mentioned digital evidence. What do you mean by digital evidence?¶

4 MS. POMERANTZ: Your Honor, I would like to show the witness what’s been marked for identification as Government Exhibit 54.¶

5 THE COURT: Okay.¶

6 7 MS. POMERANTZ: Thank you, your Honor. I’m going to show it to defense counsel.¶

8 THE COURT: Thank you.¶

9 BY MS. POMERANTZ:¶

10 Q. Mr. Flatley, do you recognize this?¶

11 A. Yes, I do.¶

12 Q. What is it?¶

13 A. It’s one of the hard drives I examined in this case.¶

14 Q. What is the NYC number?¶

15 16 17 A. The NYC number here, NYCO24350. It’s a unique identifier that I place on different pieces of evidence. Every piece of evidence gets its own NYC number.¶

18 19 Q. How do you recognize Government Exhibit 54 as a device you examined?¶

20 21 A. It has my initials on it and it has the case number and the date.¶

22 23 Q. What was the first step you took in examining Government Exhibit 54?¶

24 25 A. When I received government’s 54, I plugged it into a write blocker —¶

A. It began in 2019.¶

4 A. Yes. I’m sorry. The first thing I do is put the NYC number on it and the sticker with my initials.¶

5 Q. After marking it, do you create an image of the drive?¶

6 7 8 A. Yes. In this case, I had to inspect it to see what kind of data was on it, to see if it was already an image or if it was a clone so that if it was a clone, I would have to image it.¶

9 If it was an image, I would just have to copy it.¶

10 Q. Did you end up making an image of this device?¶

11 A. Yes, I did.¶

12 Q. What does it mean to make an image of a device?¶

13 14 MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, this is outside the 702 disclosure.¶

15 THE COURT: Overruled.¶

16 17 18 19 20 A. So an image is a bit-for-bit copy of the media from the very beginning to the very end. We take those — that copy and we write it into several different files and then that way it containerizes the data inside it so we don’t accidentally mess it up.¶

21 22 Q. Did you image the drive that’s been marked for identification that’s been marked as Government Exhibit 54?¶

23 A. Yes, I did.¶

24 25 Q. Can you explain to the jury how you made or what tools you used to make a forensic image of the hard drive?¶

Q. I’m sorry, Mr. Flatley. Just to take a step back, when you first get it, do you mark it in some way?¶

4 5 Q. Mr. Flatley, sorry to interrupt. In this case, what did you use here?¶

6 A. I used the TX1 disc duplicator.¶

7 8 Q. Why not just examine the drive itself in this case, Government Exhibit 54?¶

9 10 11 12 13 14 A. Hard drives are a little fragile, especially this one, it’s pretty old. The fact that we spin it up, that may be the last time it ever spins. So we always make a copy and we work off the copy so that we have our data. We can make arguably infinite copies of that data and prove that it’s the same data. So that’s what we do.¶

15 16 17 Q. What, if anything, do you do to determine that the image you made from Government Exhibit 54 matched the data on Government Exhibit 54?¶

18 19 20 21 A. We run a hash algorithm, which is basically a math problem against the data that we copied and the data from the original, and if the hashes match, then the data is identical, and the data was in this case.¶

22 23 Q. After you made an image of Government Exhibit 54, what do you do next?¶

24 25 A. After the 54 was imaged, I then placed it through our software, AccessData’s lab to categorize and organize the data.¶

A. Sure. There is a possibility of three different tools that we can use. One is a physical piece of equipment called a TX1 disc duplicator —¶

4 Q. Did there come a time when you were asked to review the image you made of Government Exhibit 54?¶

5 A. Yes, there did.¶

6 7 8 MS. POMERANTZ: Ms. Drescher, could we please pull up for the witness, the Court, and the parties what’s been marked for identification as Government Exhibit 419.¶

9 Q. Mr. Flatley, do you recognize this?¶

10 A. Yes, I do.¶

11 Q. What is it?¶

12 13 A. It is a piece of the software registry information for government’s 54.¶

14 Q. And what is registry software information?¶

15 16 A. So the registry is a database, a hierarchical database that Windows uses to store all its settings.¶

17 18 Q. Does Government Exhibit 419 fairly and accurately reflect the registry software information for Government Exhibit 54?¶

19 A. Yes, it does.¶

20 21 MS. POMERANTZ: Your Honor, the government offers Government Exhibit 419.¶

22 MS. MENNINGER: No objection, your Honor.¶

23 24 THE COURT: Thank you. GX419 is admitted. You may publish.¶

25 (Government’s Exhibit 419 received in evidence)¶

Q. What is AccessData’s lab?¶

A. It’s a piece of forensic software.¶

4 A. It’s February 22nd, 2001.¶

5 Q. What is listed as the product name here?¶

6 A. Microsoft Windows 2000.¶

7 Q. Do you see where it says registered organization?¶

8 A. Yes, I do.¶

9 Q. What is registered organization mean?¶

10 11 12 A. It’s a standard user inputtable field that Windows displays to you when you first set up the computer and it asks for basically the company name that owns the computer.¶

13 14 Q. You just mentioned user inputtable. Just briefly, what does that mean?¶

15 16 17 A. That means when you first start the computer, it asks who is the organization, who owns this, and you answer, you type in on a keyboard.¶

18 Q. What is listed as the registered organization?¶

19 A. Gmax.¶

20 Q. And what is registered owner?¶

21 A. It’s the same kind of field as registered organization.¶

22 23 It’s user inputtable field that’s put in when you first start the computer.¶

24 Q. What is listed as the registered owner here?¶

25 A. Gmax.¶

Q. Mr. Flatley, let’s walk through the information listed in Government Exhibit 419. What is listed as the install date for Government Exhibit 54?¶

Q. Do you recognize Government Exhibit 424?¶

A. Yes, I do. It’s an email that was printed from Government’s 54.¶

Q. And how do you recognize this?¶

A. I reviewed it prior to court today.¶

Q. Is Government Exhibit 424 a true and accurate copy of an email on Government Exhibit 54?¶

A. Yes, it is.¶

MS. POMERANTZ: Your Honor, the government offers Government Exhibit 424.¶

MS. MENNINGER: No objection, your Honor.¶

THE COURT: Thank you. GX424 is admitted. You may publish.¶

(Government’s Exhibit 424 received in evidence)¶

MS. POMERANTZ: Thank you, your Honor.¶

Ms. Drescher, if we can publish.¶

Q. I’d like to turn to the first email in the chain on page 2.¶

Mr. Flatley, what is the date and time of the email?¶

A. The email was sent on Friday, May 25th, 2001, at 12:05 p.m.¶

4 A. It’s from gmaxl@mindspring.com.¶

5 Q. Who is the recipient of the email?¶

6 A.¶

7 8 9 II. POMERANTZ: I’d like to ask, Ms. Drescher, if you could, highlight the language starting with “I need to know” and we can go through the end of number 6.¶

10 11 Q. Mr. Flatley, can I ask you to read the highlighted language, please?¶

12 13 A. “I need to know what if any list John is using and he needs to understand that he is doing a truly awful job.¶

14 1. There was no drinking water in the black Merc.¶

15 2. There were no pens in the black Merc.¶

16 3. The bulb on JE desk was burnt out when we arrived.¶

20 21 22 23 5. Even though John said that he changed the color card in the computer, having done it would it could not — he could not see that it was exactly the same as before, i.e., no different, and that obviously JE would not be happy with it.¶

24 25 6. The massage creams, et cetera, in JE’s bathroom were a mess. No one had it tidied up and arranged them so it¶

Q• Who is the email from?¶

4 MS. POMERANTZ: And if we could highlight the last two lines of this. Sorry, Ms. Drescher. Starting with “How are we doing.” Thanks very much.¶

5 6 Q. Mr. Flatley, can you read that highlighted language, please.¶

7 8 A. Sure. “How are we doing with the PB manual — where do we stand with it? G.”¶

9 10 11 MS. POMERANTZ: We can move out of that and let’s move up to page 1 of this exhibit and take a look at the email response to the prior email that we just looked at.¶

12 Q. Mr. Flatley, what is the date and time of the email?¶

13 A. It’s 6:46 p.m. on May 25th, 2001.¶

14 Q. And who is the email addressed to?¶

19 20 MS. POMERANTZ: Ms. Drescher, let’s pull back up to the first page. Thank you very much.¶

21 22 THE COURT: Ms. Pomerantz, could I get you a little bit louder, please.¶

23 MS. POMERANTZ: Of course, your Honor. Thank you.¶

24 25 Ms. Drescher, can you highlight the paragraph starting with “John and I specifically talked.”¶

was neat.Ӧ

4 5 6 7 8 9 A. Sure. “John and I specifically talked last week about how important these details are. About two weeks ago, I faxed your checkoff lists to John in preparation for the manual. These are the lists you made and I’d say they are at least 3/4 complete. (This is the third time I’ve reviewed these lists with him since I’ve started.) He stated the lists are complete, although I definitely want to add to them and edit them as your needs change.”¶

10 11 12 MS. POMERANTZ: If we can pull out of that, we can drop that call out, and if we can zoom in on the paragraph starting with “Our household manual draft.” Thanks very much.¶

13 Q. Mr. Flatley, can you please read that.¶

14 15 16 17 18 19 A. Sure. “Our household manual draft does indicate where to purchase “Cleaning supplies” (Publix and Club-PB Gardens) and states “Use only Tide with bleach, Downy softeners (switch fragrance every 2-3 months) Bounce dryer sheets. We did edit and reviewed this information last week. However, we have not completed an inventory list/check off list of supplies yet.”¶

20 21 Q. Thank you, Mr. Flatley. And directing your attention to the top of page 1, who is this email from?¶

22 A. It is from gmax, gmaxl@mindspring.com.¶

Ms. Drescher, can we pull up for the witness, the Court, and the parties what’s been marked for identification as Government Exhibit 418 and 418R. If we can pull them up side by side.¶

Q. Mr. Flatley, do you recognize this exhibit?¶

A. That’s a document that was printed from Government 54.¶

Q. And are you referring Government Exhibit 418 or 418R?¶

A. Both of them. One was — one is just redacted.¶

Q. And just to be clear for the record, which is the redacted one?¶

A. Redacted is 418R.¶

Q. And Government Exhibit 418, how do you recognize this exhibit?¶

A. I reviewed it prior to court today.¶

Q. Where did you locate this exhibit?¶

A. It was on Government’s 54.¶

Q. Is this a true and accurate copy of a document on Government Exhibit 54?¶

A. Yes, it is.¶

MS. POMERANTZ: Your Honor, the government would offer Government Exhibit 418 under seal and 418R publicly.¶

4 5 THE COURT: We’ll take those down from counsel’s table.¶

6 7 MS. POMERANTZ: We can take down Government Exhibit 418. Thank you.¶

8 9 10 THE COURT: So 418 is admitted under seal because it has third-party telephone numbers. And 418R is admitted with some of those phone numbers redacted.¶

11 (Government’s Exhibits 418, 418R received in evidence)¶

12 MS. POMERANTZ: Thank you, your Honor.¶

13 14 15 Ms. Drescher, could we pull up for the witness, the Court, and the parties what has been marked for identification as Government Exhibit 418B.¶

16 Q. Mr. Flatley, do you recognize this?¶

17 A. Yes, I do.¶

18 Q. What is it?¶

19 20 A. It is the properties of the document you just showed me, 418.¶

21 22 Q. And does Government Exhibit 418B fairly and accurately reflect the properties for Government Exhibit 418?¶

23 A. Yes, it does.¶

24 Q. How do you know that?¶

25 A. I reviewed it prior to court today.¶

MS. MENNINGER: No objection to that, your Honor.¶

I would note that the unredacted one is visible on counsel’s table. So I’m not sure if the —¶

10 (Government’s Exhibit 418B received in evidence)¶

11 12 13 MS. POMERANTZ: Thanks, your Honor. If I may, I’m going to go through a couple more exhibits to enter them and then I’ll publish them for the jury.¶

14 THE COURT: That’s fine. Thank you.¶

15 MS. POMERANTZ: Thank you, your Honor.¶

16 17 18 Ms. Drescher, could we pull up for the witness, the Court, and the parties what’s been marked for identification as Government Exhibit 420 and 421.¶

20 21 Q. Mr. Flatley, please let me know when you’ve reviewed those exhibits.¶

22 A. I have.¶

Q. What did you do to review?¶

A. I’m sorry?¶

Q. What did you do to review?¶

4 Q. Do you recognize Government Exhibits 420, 421, and 422?¶

5 A. Yes, I do.¶

6 Q. What are they?¶

7 A. They’re documents that were printed off of Government¶

8 Exhibit 54.¶

9 Q. What kind of documents are they?¶

10 A. They are Word documents.¶

11 Q. And how do you recognize these exhibits?¶

12 A. I reviewed them prior to court today.¶

13 14 Q. Are they true and accurate copies of Word documents on Government Exhibit 54?¶

15 A. Yes, they are.¶

16 17 MS. POMERANTZ: Your Honor, the government offers Government Exhibit 420, 421, and 422.¶

18 MS. MENNINGER: No objection, your Honor.¶

parties.¶

Q. Mr. Flatley, let me know when you’ve reviewed that, please.¶

A. I have.¶

4 5 MS. POMERANTZ: Ms. Drescher, if we can pull up 422B, please.¶

6 Q. Mr. Flatley, let me know when you’ve reviewed that.¶

7 A. I have.¶

8 Q. Do you recognize Government Exhibits 420B, 421B, and 422B?¶

9 A. Yes, I do.¶

10 Q. What are they?¶

11 12 A. They are the properties of the documents that are associated with.¶

13 14 Q. Do these exhibits fairly and accurately reflect the properties for the corresponding exhibits?¶

15 A. Yes, they do.¶

16 Q. How do you know that?¶

17 A. I reviewed it prior to court today.¶

18 19 MS. POMERANTZ: The government offers Government Exhibits 420B, 421B, and 422B.¶

20 MS. MENNINGER: No objection, your Honor.¶

21 THE COURT: 420B, 421B, 422B are admitted.¶

22 23 (Government’s Exhibits 420B, 421B, 422B received in evidence)¶

24 MS. POMERANTZ: Thank you, your Honor.¶

25 Q. Mr. Flatley, where were Government Exhibits 418, 420, 421,¶

420B and 421B.¶

Q. Mr. Flatley, please let me know when you’ve reviewed this.¶

A. I have.¶

4 5 A. Just give me one second. Yes, they were saved under — in the documents folder for a user, Ghislaine.¶

6 7 Q. When you say they were saved under a user account, what does that mean?¶

8 9 MS. MENNINGER: Objection, your Honor. The user account was outside the scope.¶

10 THE COURT: Overruled.¶

11 12 13 14 15 16 A. So when you have a computer, a Windows computer, when you have a sign-in, a log-in ID username and password, it creates a folder structure under that name to organize the different data on it in case there is other users that are also on the machine. So, these particular documents were saved under the documents folder under the user Ghislaine.¶

17 18 Q. What kind of files are Government Exhibits 418, 420, 421, and 422?¶

19 A. They’re Microsoft Word documents.¶

20 Q. Where are properties stored in a Word document?¶

21 22 23 A. So Word documents are actually not just one file, there are several files that are kind of cobbled together and one of those files maintains the properties of the document.¶

24 25 Q. Just put simply, how can someone determine the properties in a Word document?¶

and 422 saved?¶

A. They were on Government Exhibit 54.¶

Q. Were they saved under any user account?¶

4 5 A. So there are two ways you can do it. If the document is open in Word and you go up to File and go down to Properties, it will tell you that. Or, if the document is closed, you can just right-click on the document and select Properties and it will tell you the same information.¶

6 7 Q. When a Word document is created, is there metadata that is generated that reflects the creation date of that file?¶

8 A. Yes, there is.¶

9 10 Q. Do Word documents have metadata regarding dates of modification?¶

11 A. Yes, they do.¶

12 Q. And what is that referred to as?¶

13 A. The date modified.¶

14 Q. What does that metadata reflect?¶

15 A. The last time somebody saved it.¶

16 17 18 MS. POMERANTZ: Ms. Drescher, could you please publish Government Exhibit 420 and 420B, which are now in evidence, side by side.¶

12 CROSS-EXAMINATION¶

13 BY MS. MENNINGER:¶

14 Q. Good morning, Mr. Flatley.¶

15 A. Good morning.¶

16 Q. How are you?¶

17 A. I’m fine.¶

18 Q. Good. The exhibit that represents the hard drive, do you¶

19 have that in front of you?¶

20 A. Yes,¶

21 Q. That’s GX54; correct?¶

22 A. Yes,¶

23 Q. And it’s your understanding that that hard drive was found¶

24 within Mr. Epstein’s home in New York; correct?¶

25 A. Yes,¶

Q. Mr. Flatley, can you please read this last paragraph.¶

Thank you.¶

4 5 Q. And there was no information about why there were three copies of that same hard drive; correct?¶

6 A. No,¶

7 Q. And, in fact, the three hard drives were in a box; correct?¶

8 A. Yes, That’s how I received them.¶

9 10 Q. And when they were in the box, the front of the box had a xerox copy of another hard drive on the front; correct?¶

11 A. Yes,¶

12 13 Q. You have no idea why there was a different hard drive xeroxed on the front of the box; right?¶

14 A. I have my thoughts of why that would be.¶

15 Q. But you don’t know?¶

16 17 A. But no one told me or conveyed to me why it was like that, no.¶

18 Q. And there was evidence tape on the box; right?¶

19 A. Yes,¶

20 Q. And you didn’t break that evidence tape; correct?¶

21 A. Not for that one, no, .¶

22 Q. It was already broken when you received the box?¶

23 A. That is correct.¶

24 25 Q. And there was some indication that the drive had been seized in July of 2007; correct?¶

Q. And what you actually saw were three copies of that hard drive; right?¶

4 THE COURT: Foundation, sustained.¶

5 BY MS. MENNINGER:¶

6 7 Q. Did you write a report in which you talked about the fact that these devices show they were seized in July of 2007?¶

8 A. No,¶

9 Q. And they had a name D. Klyman on them?¶

10 MS. POMERANTZ: Objection, your Honor. Hearsay.¶

11 THE COURT: Sustained.¶

12 13 14 MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, I’m asking if he can identify Government Exhibit 54 as something he previously referred to with a different indication. It goes to the —¶

15 16 THE COURT: You can ask him that question. Sustained on the current question.¶

17 MS. MENNINGER: Okay.¶

18 BY MS. MENNINGER:¶

19 20 Q. Do you recall whether the drive that you examined had a representation on it that it was from D. Klyman?¶

21 A. Not on the drive, no,¶

22 Q. On the box in which the drive was located; correct?¶

23 A. No,¶

24 Q. On the bag in which the box in which the drive was located?¶

25 A. I do recall a D. Klyman on a bag for one of these hard¶

drives, but I couldn’t tell you if it was that one.¶

Q. And you don’t know who he is or what that means; correct?¶

A. No,¶

Q. When you examined that hard drive, you don’t have the device, the computer that that hard drive was in; correct?¶

Q. You don’t know if it was from a desktop computer; right?¶

A. I can make — actually, yes, I can say it was from a desktop computer.¶

Q. So not a laptop computer?¶

Q. In a stationary place; right?¶

Q. People don’t usually take their desktops with them on airplanes, for example; right?¶

Q. A desktop is more difficult to transport than a laptop; is that fair to say?¶

Q. So when you examined this hard drive, you actually learned that the hard drive itself was a clone of some other hard drive; right?¶

Q. So you made a clone of a clone?¶

A. I did not. I made an image of a clone.¶

4 A. Yes,¶

5 6 Q. But you were not able to match the clone with whatever it had cloned; right?¶

7 A. I don’t understand the question.¶

8 9 Q. Well, on direct examination, you talked about how an image was a bit-for-bit copy of the clone; right?¶

10 A. Yes,¶

11 12 13 Q. And that means you were able to then confirm that the image you made was identical to the clone from which you made it; right?¶

14 A. That is correct.¶

15 16 Q. And then you believe that the thing you were imaging was a clone of something else?¶

17 A. Yes,¶

18 19 20 Q. And you don’t have that something else to make sure that you did an identical copy, that the clone was an identical copy; correct?¶

21 22 A. Correct, I do not know what happened or who made that clone or where it came from.¶

23 Q. Right. You just don’t know?¶

24 A. Correct.¶

25 Q. So you don’t know whether anything was changed in the¶

25¶

Q. You just don’t have something to compare it to; right?¶

Q. If you had the other one, you could run the same program; right?¶

Q. If you had the other one, you could run the same program and make sure that they were identical; right?¶

Q. So, because you don’t have that other thing to compare it to — what you think is a desktop; right?¶

Q. — you don’t know where that desktop was living when any of these exhibits were created; correct?¶

A. No, I don’t.¶

Q. Right. You don’t have a location, a geo location for any of these particular documents you’ve been testifying about; correct?¶

Q. So the desktop could have been in Florida or in New York or somewhere else; right?¶

4 5 Q. And so, when you examined these particular documents, you were able to tell, and I think you told the jury about the user that was associated with the computer, you testified was the author; correct?¶

6 A. Correct.¶

7 8 Q. Because that’s the piece of information that’s contained in the properties, author; right?¶

9 A. That’s correct.¶

10 11 Q. An author is just drawn from the person who set up the computer in the first place; right?¶

12 13 14 15 A. No. In that particular instance, the author is another user inputtable field from Microsoft Word when you start using it and it’s saved to your account. So, where the account name was Ghislaine, the author name was gmax.¶

16 17 Q. So when you first set up Word, you put in your name because you’re the person who’s installing the Word; right?¶

18 A. Correct.¶

19 20 21 Q. And then when you create documents from that Word program, it auto populates the name of the author from the person who set it up; right?¶

22 A. That’s correct.¶

23 24 25 Q. It doesn’t actually mean a particular person is sitting in front of Word on a particular time when they say new document; right?¶

A. Yes, that’s correct.¶

4 5 Q. And it auto populates the created date or the modified date and the other dates you talked about; right?¶

6 A. Yes,¶

7 8 Q. That’s not a person inputting a created date, it just comes from the program; right?¶

9 10 A. Yes, it gets it from the system, from the clock in the computer.¶

11 12 Q. So you didn’t specify whether this particular computer was password protected; right?¶

13 A. That’s correct.¶

14 15 Q. You don’t have any information that this computer was password protected; right?¶

16 A. In the registry, it said that it was.¶

17 Q. You were able to get into the computer no problem; right?¶

18 19 20 21 22 A. We don’t actually get into the computer. We don’t go through the operating system. We just take the information that’s on the drive and categorize it. The password and user name and all that only protects the computer when you’re accessing it through its operating system.¶

23 24 Q. And you were accessing it through a hard drive copied cloned image?¶

25 A. All through our forensic software.¶

Q. It just auto populates it from Word; right?¶

A. Yes, that is correct.¶

4 5 6 Q. And so, you don’t know whether it was an easy-to-remember password or whether the computer actually just had the password on a Post-it next to it; right?¶

7 A. I have no idea.¶

8 9 Q. So when you were looking at these documents, these Word documents, you talked about the created date; right?¶

10 A. Yes,¶

11 12 Q. And that, as we just discussed, was something that was populated by the computer system; right?¶

14 15 16 Q. And you didn’t then go out and look at that created date to see where any particular person was at that point in time; correct?¶

17 A. No,¶

18 19 20 Q. So if, for example, Government Exhibit 418 had some metadata associated with it in 418B — could we pull that up, 418B. You see that; correct?¶

21 A. Yes,¶

22 23 Q. And that tells you that the document was created on January 29th, 2002; right?¶

24 A. Yes,¶

25 Q. And it was only edited and so forth on that day, no other¶

Q. Which was running off of the image of the clone of something; right?¶

day; right?¶

Q. And last printed on that date; right?¶

Q. So, for example, if you were to go get a flight log and tell where gmax was on January 29th, 2002, it might tell you that gmax was in the same place as the computer or a different place; right?¶

Q. You don’t know who was actually sitting down creating this document; right?¶

Q. You don’t even know where the computer was; correct?¶

Q. And if you were to ascertain that gmax was in several different places when different of these documents were created, it might lead one to believe that she’s not the one who created all these documents; right?¶

Q. Other people had access to this computer, potentially; right?¶

4 Q. You don’t know whether the computer was sitting in the middle of a kitchen that other people could access it; right?¶

5 A. I don’t know where the computer was.¶

6 7 Q. You don’t know who was around the computer at any particular point in time; correct?¶

8 9 10 11 A. The only thing I know is that there were three user accounts on the computer — two were created by default when the computer was made and the only other user account was Ghislaine.¶

12 13 Q. So anyone who used that computer was using that Ghislaine Maxwell user account; right?¶

14 A. That’s correct.¶

15 Q. No other user account was used; correct?¶

16 A. That’s correct.¶

17 18 19 Q. So if Ghislaine was not present with the computer when a document was made, that would suggest other people had access to the computer; correct?¶

20 A. I don’t know who had access to the computer.¶

21 I have one moment, your Honor?¶

22 THE COURT: You¶

23 II. MENNINGER: No further questions of this witness.¶

24 Thank you.¶

25 THE COURT: Ms. Pomerantz?¶

A. I have no idea.¶

4 5 Q. Mr. Flatley, during the course of your review of Government Exhibit 54, did you review emails?¶

6 A. Yes, I did.¶

7 8 9 Q. And as to the emails you reviewed on Government Exhibit 54, how many emails did not include gmaxl@mindspring.com on the email chains?¶

10 A. They were all from that account.¶

11 MS. POMERANTZ: No further questions, your Honor.¶

12 MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, on that point.¶

13 THE COURT: Okay.¶

14 RECROSS EXAMINATION¶

15 BY MS. MENNINGER:¶

16 Q. You know about email clients; right?¶

17 A. Yes,¶

18 Q. An email client is something like Outlook or Mail; correct?¶

19 A. Correct.¶

20 21 22 23 Q. And when an email client like Outlook or Mail is installed on a computer, it often goes up to the server and refreshes itself from the server whenever that computer is connected to the internet; correct?¶

24 A. That is correct.¶

Q. So anytime the computer was connected to the internet, it may have been populating emails through an email client on it; correct?¶

MS. POMERANTZ: No further questions. Thank you.¶

THE COURT: Thank you. Mr. Flatley, you’re excused.¶

You may step down.¶

Members of the jury, we’ll take our mid morning break. See you in about 15 minutes. Thank you.¶

8 9 10 11 THE COURT: I hadn’t totally understood Ms. Moe’s point about the potential need to take a witness out of order given the length. And it’s fine with me if that’s what makes sense and there’s no objection from the defense.¶

12 13 MS. COMEY: Thank you, your Honor. We’ll see how long this next witness takes and then go from there.¶

15 16 MR. PAGLIUCA: Your Honor, might I hand up potential cross-examination exhibits?¶

MS. COMEY: I don’t believe we have matters to take up, your Honor.¶

Q. It’s also true that told you that you could make a lot of money real fast; correct?¶

MS. COMEY: Your Honor, are we talking about a document or her memory?¶

THE COURT: Can you clarify the timeframe of your question, both as to whether you’re asking about her current memory, and if so, what time you’re asking her to recall.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: I’m asking about current memory, unless T refer the witness to the document, your Honor.¶

MS. COMEY: Your Honor, it might be helpful to have the witness set the document aside.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: That’s fine.¶

THE COURT: Close the binder, please.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Might be easier if we use the screen.¶

THE COURT: Do that.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: That’s fine.¶

Q. Carolyn, told you, you recall, this first time that you could make a lot of money real fast; isn’t that true?¶

first sentence, please.¶

A. Yes, I did say that.¶

Q. It’s also true, Carolyn, that instructed you to dress sexy; is that correct?¶

A. dressed me sexy to be able to go.¶

Q. Isn’t it also true that instructed you that if you didn’t like something, to let her know; correct?¶

Q. She also told you, before you went over to Mr. Epstein’s, that you might have to remove your shirt and pants, but could keep your underwear on; is that correct?¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: We can take this down while we’re asking questions.¶

A. She had — she asked me if I wanted to go with her to meet a friend of hers who lived on Palm Beach and I would have to dress provocatively. so she dressed me and said that we could make money. So she drove me there and when we got there is when she told me that she would massage Mr. Epstein with me so I would not feel uncomfortable.¶

Q. Okay. My question is, before you went over there,¶

told you that you might have to remove your shirt and pants, but you could keep your underwear on. Is that true or not?¶

A. She told me that when we were in the massage room.¶

Q. Before you went over there, isn’t it also true that¶

4 A. She said if somebody asked, I needed to say that.¶

5 6 MR. PAGLIUCA: If we can show the witness the same document at paragraph 4.¶

7 8 Q. Do you see on the last two lines there, “Carolyn was previously instructed by Virginia to tell Epstein she was 17.”¶

9 Do you see that?¶

10 A. Yeah.¶

11 Q. Is that what you told the FBI in August of 2007?¶

12 13 A. Yes, because I slipped up and told Mr. Epstein that I was 14.¶

14 15 16 Q. I’m not asking you what you told Mr. Epstein, I’m asking you first, that’s what told you and, at first, you said no, and now you’re saying yes?¶

17 A. She told me if anybody asked, I needed to say I was 17.¶

18 MR. PAGLIUCA: We can take that down.¶

19 20 21 Q. Do you remember saying that he, Epstein, was a friend of hers, we can go there, you can give him a massage, and he will pay. Do you remember that?¶

23 24 25 Q. Now, I want to talk about the timeframe that you’ve testified about. Isn’t it true that the date you first went to Epstein’s house at the invitation of was in May or June¶

told you to say that you were 17 or 18?¶

A. That is not true.¶

Q. That’s not true; is that your testimony?¶

of 2002?¶

A. I don’t recall.¶

Q. Ms. Comey showed you your deposition testimony from December 2009. Do you recall that?¶

Q. And that was in connection with your civil lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein and ; correct?¶

A. I don’t remember.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Let’s show the witness 3505-043 at page 33 at deposition page 125, lines 23 through 24 through 126, line 2.¶

Q. Do you have that? Isn’t it true that, under oath in August of 2009, you were asked the question:¶

Q. All right. So for purposes —¶

THE COURT: I’m sorry. It’s small again.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Can we enlarge that, please.¶

THE COURT: Can we get the page and line numbers that you intend to read.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Certainly, your Honor. So we’ll start at the bottom, which is page 33, deposition page 125, lines 23 through 25 on that page, over to page 126, line 1, and we’ll continue down to line 10, your Honor.¶

Q. Isn’t it true, Carolyn, that, under oath, you were asked¶

4 “Q. All right. So for purposes of this case, the total period of time that you had any interaction with Mr. Epstein was between May of ‘02 and August of ‘03.¶

5 “A. Uh-huh.”¶

6 Q. Do you see that?¶

7 A. I see the ending of that, yes.¶

8 9 Q. And then if we go to page 126, lines 1 through 10 is the next page —¶

10 THE COURT: Could you pull up the mic, Mr. Pagliuca.¶

11 A. We’re on page 126.¶

12 Q. Okay. And then there is another question:¶

13 14 That is another way of saying it is the first time you went, is May of ‘02, and the last time was August of ‘03?¶

15 “A. Yeah.”¶

16 Do you see that?¶

17 A. Yes, I do.¶

18 Q. And that was your testimony under oath?¶

20 Q. In 2009; correct?¶

22 Q. And then you were then asked the question:¶

23 24 “Q. Didn’t know Mr. Epstein at all prior to May of ‘02 and had no contact with him after August of ‘03?¶

25 “A. Correct.”¶

the question:¶

A. Yes, that’s right.¶

Q. So that was your deposition testimony under oath in 2009; is that right?¶

A. Yes, that’s right.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: We can take that down.¶

Q. You recall that was 18 when you first met her; is that correct?¶

Q. And you don’t recall the exact date, but sometime in May or June of ‘02 after this conversation is when you went to¶

Mr. Epstein’s house; correct?¶

A. I’m sorry. Can you repeat the question.¶

Q. Yes. You don’t recall the exact date, but sometime after you had this conversation with in May or June of ‘02 is when you went to Mr. Epstein’s house; correct?¶

Q. And you had never been to the house before; correct?¶

Q. You never met Mr. Epstein before; correct?¶

Q. You didn’t even know the name of the person that you were going to meet; correct?¶

A. She told me when we got there.¶

Q. Before you got there, you didn’t even know the name of the¶

4 Mr. Epstein; correct?¶

5 A. I suppose.¶

6 Q. Well, it was just you and her that went; correct?¶

8 Q. And she drove; correct?¶

9 A. Correct.¶

10 Q. And she had a car. Do you recall that?¶

12 Q. She picked you up at your house; right?¶

13 A. Nope.¶

14 Q. How did you get there?¶

15 16 17 A. We were at her house for the first time, not a party, and it was only me, Sean, Tony, and Virginia, and she dressed me provocatively and that’s when we went to Mr. Epstein’s home.¶

18 Q. Okay. She knew where to go; right?¶

19 A. Yes, she did.¶

20 Q. And she drove the two of you there; is that right?¶

22 23 Q. And it took about 30 minutes or so to get there; is that fair?¶

24 A. I have no idea, sir.¶

25 Q. She parked the car; right?¶

person that you were going to meet; correct?¶

Q. And it is who arranged this meeting with¶

A. Obviously.¶

4 A. No, we walked to the kitchen door.¶

5 Q. You walked to a door; right?¶

6 A. That led into the kitchen.¶

7 Q. Okay. You went inside; right?¶

9 10 Q. Now, this is approximately 19 years ago is what we’re talking about here today; correct?¶

11 A. Give or take.¶

12 Q. And you had never been inside this house before; correct?¶

13 A. Didn’t you already ask me that question?¶

14 Q. I don’t think I did.¶

15 A. That was the first time I went, was with Virginia.¶

16 Q. And that’s the first time you were inside; correct?¶

17 A. Correct.¶

18 Q. You had never met anyone who worked there before; correct?¶

19 A. Correct.¶

20 21 Q. And you went inside and you were taken upstairs by ; correct?¶

22 A. Correct.¶

23 24 THE COURT: Mr. Pagliuca, we’re going to break here for lunch.¶

25 MR. PAGLIUCA: Thank you, your Honor.¶

Q. And then you and she walked to the front door; is that correct?¶

THE COURT: Members of the jury, you have your lunch.¶

We’ll resume in about an hour. Thank you so much.¶

THE COURT: The witness may step down and break for lunch.¶

4 (Witness excused)¶

5 6 Everyone may be seated. Okay, matters to take up before the break?¶

7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. During the morning break, we had an opportunity to speak with the witness identified as Brian. I’ve provided a copy of the notes from that conversation to defense counsel when we came back from the break along with a text message that Brian provided us a copy with. I’m happy to — we haven’t had a chance to stamp them yet with 3500 numbers, but I’m happy to provide a copy to the Court.¶

15 THE COURT: Okay.¶

16 17 18 MS. MOE: Besides that, is there a particular time when the Court would like to take up that particular issue and the other issue that we addressed at sidebar?¶

19 20 21 22 THE COURT: Let’s discuss this now since that goes to the defense’s at least prior request was the exclusion of his testimony. So I’ll hear from you on that, if you’re prepared to be heard from that now or we break and then I hear from you.¶

23 24 25 MS. MOE: Your Honor, we’d be happy to take this up after the break, perhaps in order to provide defense counsel an opportunity to review those further and to confer on this¶

issue. I just wanted to alert the Court that we had run this issue down and disclosed that matter and wanted to promptly alert the Court about that.¶

THE COURT: So Ms. Menninger, the suggestion is we all look at the copy of the notes, I think we resume in about 30 minutes to address the issue.¶

MS. MENNINGER: Yes, your Honor. I received it right as testimony was beginning, so I have not studied them. If your Honor would like to take an additional 10 minutes, I can try to do some research, but if your Honor is just wanting to address the content of the note —¶

THE COURT: My suggestion is we all look at the contents of the notes, do some research, and resume in 30 minutes. How is that?¶

MS. MENNINGER: I will do my best, your Honor.¶

THE COURT: It’s all we all can do.¶

Do you want to give a 3500 stamp or —¶

MS. MOE: Your Honor, I would suggest that we hand up the printed copy now and, during the break, we can stamp it and send an email copy to¶

THE COURT: That’s fine.¶

THE COURT: So it’s 12:55. We’ll resume in 30 minutes to discuss this. Assuming we’re going forward with this witness’s testimony, we’ll take up, at sidebar, the issue¶

regarding a question that the defense is interested in that implicates some privacy issues. Correct?¶

MS. MOE: Thank you, your Honor. Yes.¶

THE COURT: We’ll meet in 30. Thank you.¶

(Recess)¶

AFTERNOON SESSION¶

1:40 P.M.¶

THE COURT: All right. We’ll take up the question of the communication between the brother of Jane and Jane.¶

During the break, the government did find some cases. But we also learned toward the end of the break that there are a small number of additional text messages.¶

The government’s view at this point is that it makes sense for us to fully run down and make sure we have identified the universe of text messages. And we’re willing to not call Brian until tomorrow morning to give the parties an opportunity to understand all the facts and provide an analysis of the law.¶

And so my understanding from talking to Ms. Menninger is that the defense doesn’t object to allowing us to brief this issue tonight and call Brian and address it tomorrow morning.¶

MS. MENNINGER: Yes, your Honor. As long as the factual record is still undeveloped, I don’t think it makes sense to start applying the law to those facts. But I repeat my request that there be an actual under-oath representation by this witness about the communications rather than dribbling out information.¶

THE COURT: Well, I don’t know if we’ll need an under oath prior to his testimony. Certainly it can be fully¶

explored in your cross-examination, which is under oath. But I do think in advance of that, we need a full understanding which I think includes making sure you have every text and email communication. I would think you need to have an interview with Jane, as well, to see if you’re getting the same information from her. And I think you need to make sure that there are no other conduits of information regarding Jane’s testimony to the brother.¶

24¶

25¶

THE COURT: Okay. And I’ve started to look at the law too. I think it’s unlikely we’re going to get to a breach of the text of the rule. I think my hypo about if somebody passed the transcript would certainly go to a violation of the spirit of the rule and not the text. And there may be some further version of full communication of her testimony, especially a witness who’s being put on solely to provide prior consistent statements.¶

I don’t think the government did anything wrong. I’m a little shocked that this wasn’t fully drilled into these witnesses just as a matter of best practice. I understand from the notes that it was communicated to the witnesses not to speak to other witnesses, but somehow this witness didn’t understand that to mean his sister. But here we are.¶

MR. ROHRBACH: Your Honor, on that point, we would just say that the notes from today reflect that the witness¶

recalls having been instructed by the government not to discuss his testimony with his sister. Of course, it can be very difficult not to talk about your life with your family.¶

24¶

25¶

THE COURT: Right. That would be the kind of thing, I would think, best practices would say, Look, I know this is difficult. This is important. I imagine that is a conversation that many government lawyers have with witnesses.¶

MR. ROHRBACH: Yes, your Honor. And my understanding is that we did have that conversation.¶

Then it may be a little hard to square that that conversation was had with the statement that it was unclear that this was a transgression. There’s some mismatch there.¶

So you need to run a full investigation. We’ll have those facts produced to the defense by what time?¶

MR. ROHRBACH: We’ll be working on it through the afternoon today. We will do our best to have disclosed as much as we know by the end of the court day. Understanding the breadth of the investigation the Court wants, it may take longer to complete all of —¶

THE COURT: Well, you should think about whether there is anything else worth pursuing to make sure that the Court and both sides have a full factual record.¶

MR. ROHRBACH: We will certainly give that thought.¶

THE COURT: And then, as I say, I think once we have¶

17¶

18¶

19¶

20¶

21¶

22¶

23¶

24¶

25¶

that, my quick look at the case law is that I’m very unlikely to exclude, unless there was some knowing and full violation of the sequestration spirit, if details of — significant details of Jane’s testimony. But in the absence of that, I think what we have is ripe grounds for cross-examination with an opportunity for the defense to have at it.¶

MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor I looked at some recent case law, and I imagine your Honor has seen similar cases. But one was Judge Engelmayer’s decision in Teman. And there are some significant reasons why this case is much different than the decision he reached in that case, including the fact that that was a conversation between the government and a witness rather than — he distinguished the other cases, which were a witness speaking to another witness.¶

THE COURT: There was no order in place for witnesses not to speak. It could have been requested, I suppose. It wasn’t requested. I didn’t put one in place. I never have. And the reason is because if witnesses speak to each other, that’s going to come out on cross, and boy is that going to look bad for the witnesses.¶

So I think that’s probably where we are. I have looked at Teman. I looked at the rule. We’ll keep looking at cases once we have the full factual record.¶

But it seems to me we’re likely to be at a point where¶

5¶

6¶

7¶

8¶

9¶

10¶

11¶

12¶

13¶

14¶

15¶

16¶

17¶

18¶

19¶

20¶

21¶

22¶

23¶

24¶

25¶

we have the factual record. There’s no additional record that would lead to exclusion, and so we’ll do what we need to do. A hearing, an order, only to prepare further for what’s going to happen is likely not necessarily. I don’t see any law that supports that. But we’ll get the full factual record and you’ll brief it.¶

So I would like — if this witness is going to testify tomorrow, I think the government needs to provide the defense the results of a full factual investigation by 6 p.m. And then, Ms. Menninger, when would you like to brief the issue?¶

MS. MENNINGER: By 9 p.m., your Honor.¶

THE COURT: Okay. By 9 p.m.¶

And then let’s say — Mr. Rohrbach?¶

MR. ROHRBACH: I apologize. By 9 p.m. By midnight. I know that’s late for the Court. That would be three hours for each side to write a brief.¶

MR. ROHRBACH: Thank you, your Honor.¶

Just one other point on this witness, your Honor.¶

We understand that this witness is also a subject of a defense subpoena. And so the government would just like to know whether, in light of the defense’s motion to preclude his testimony for this reason, he’s still under defense subpoena.¶

THE COURT: I suppose they might want to know the result of that motion first.¶

4 5 6 THE COURT: Okay. In other words, let’s put it this way: If I grant your motion, do you intend to call the brother?¶

7 MS. MENNINGER: It seems highly unlikely, your Honor.¶

8 THE COURT: Okay.¶

9 10 11 12 13 14 15 MS. MENNINGER: But, your Honor, two very quick factual issues. One is you may recall that when we began at the final pretrial conference on November 23rd, we specifically requested permission to share Dr. Rocchio’s testimony with our two experts because we believed that this issue precluded otherwise witnesses listening in or finding out about the testimony of other witnesses, one.¶

16 The second point is —¶

17 18 THE COURT: And I said talk it out, confer, and then brief me if you have disagreement. I received no briefing.¶

19 20 MS. MENNINGER: I think there was no objection to that process, your Honor.¶

21 MR. ROHRBACH: There was no objection.¶

22 23 24 25 MS. MENNINGER: And then the second point is when Jane was released from the stand and the government asked for permission to speak with her about logistical matters, I said at that time, So long as she’s admonished that she’s not to¶

THE COURT: Right?¶

MR. ROHRBACH: Yes.¶

5¶

20¶

21¶

22¶

23¶

24¶

25¶

speak to other witnesses; and they said, Of course. That was a brief sidebar conversation that was had.¶

So just to the extent your Honor has brought up the fact that there wasn’t an order specifically saying witnesses aren’t to speak to one another, I certainly thought it was implied in the course and conduct of what had occurred and the sequestration order generally.¶

THE COURT: Okay. You’ll brief it.¶

MR. ROHRBACH: Yes, we’ll brief it, your Honor.¶

THE COURT: All right.¶

So I suppose that we can deal then in the afternoon or tomorrow with the related sub question of an area that the defense seeks to cross the witness on.¶

Ms. Moe and I spoke briefly. We assumed, I think, as your Honor said, that the question of gatekeeping would logically come first before dealing with a side issue if he does testify. We didn’t really have a chance over the break to explore the facts of that further.¶

THE COURT: Okay. So you’ll confer on that and we can take it up. I suppose we could take it up in the morning. There’s going to be a lot to do in the morning. But I need to hear from you on it before I resolve the question of whether Brian will testify on the theory that I think it’s likely that he will testify.¶

4 MS. STERNHEIM: I can raise this now or —¶

5 THE COURT: Microphone please.¶

6 MS. STERNHEIM: I apologize.¶

7 THE COURT: That’s okay.¶

8 9 10 MS. STERNHEIM: I could raise this now or we could hold off, but the government has indicated that they may call some witnesses out of order. That’s not the issue.¶

11 12 13 14 But with regard to one of the witnesses that they may call, I have some objection to the relevance of some of the testimony. And I did not know if you wish to hear it now or wait until such time as they actually intend to call.¶

15 16 17 THE COURT: Okay. So, let’s see. We have the current witness. How long do you anticipate for your cross, Mr. Pagliuca?¶

18 19 MR. PAGLIUCA: I’m going to guess an hour, hour and a half, your Honor, something like that.¶

20 THE COURT: Okay.¶

21 22 23 MR. PAGLIUCA: Some of that may depend on some issues that I think the government has opened the door on. And I don’t know if you want to talk about those now or later.¶

24 25 THE COURT: Well, I don’t want the jury to be sitting idly. So if it is going to happen in your cross, we should¶

MS. MENNINGER: Understood, your Honor.¶

Is there anything else we can address now?¶

4 5 MS. STERNHEIM: Mine should go to the back of the bus on this.¶

6 THE COURT: Okay.¶

7 8 9 10 11 12 MR. PAGLIUCA: So there was direct examination testimony, your Honor, concerning psychiatric issues, ongoing psychiatric issues, with this witness. I think there was some minimization of the ongoing psychiatric issues. And the records that I have reflect much more extensive psychiatric issues.¶

13 14 15 16 17 18 I believe that I should be allowed to inquire about her extensive psychiatric history. There were questions on direct examination about her ongoing drug abuse, and I think that opens — and I think it was minimized. And I think that that opens the door to my being able to examine on the full extent of her ongoing drug abuse.¶

19 20 21 22 There was also testimony raised sort of in the vein of, I’m schizophrenic and I am schizophrenic about my children because they’re important to me, essentially, and that’s why I have this schizophrenia and hear voices around my children.¶

23 24 25 This witness has a significant history of having her children taken away from her and these children living with her mother or other relatives. And I think that the way that the¶

talk about it now.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Sure. I don’t know if you want to deal with Ms. Sternheim’s issue first.¶

23¶

24¶

25¶

government has framed this allows for inquiry about that. And had the government not asked those questions, it was not my intent to get into any of the child issues.¶

But I think the jury is left with the impression that because of what Epstein did to her, she’s now schizophrenic and has all these schizophrenic concerns about her children, when, for the last 19 years, these children have been repeatedly put in different places as a result of her problems.¶

MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I think if Mr. Pagliuca is going to go into detail, we should be having this at side bear under seal, if we’re going to be discussing the details of her family.¶

THE COURT: The court reporter requested, so she can sit, that we do it in the robing room.¶

6 7 8 Q. Now, the only person that you saw when you entered the house, you identified as being an older lady with unknown hair and an unknown accent. Is that correct?¶

11 12 Q. Do you recall again giving a statement to the FBI in August of 2007?¶

13 A. A what? A testimony?¶

14 15 Q. Do you recall being interviewed by the FBI in August of 2007, Special Agents Nesbitt and Kuyrkendall?¶

17 Q. And they met with you at your house; is that right?¶

19 20 Q. And they weren’t there to be mean to you; they were trying to ask you questions. Correct?¶

22 Q. And they introduced themselves to you, right?¶

24 Q. And you certainly had no reason to lie to them; correct?¶

25 A. Correct. 4 Q. So let’s talk about that.¶

5 6 Do you recall testifying at your deposition, this is at 3505-043, page 27.¶

7 8 THE COURT: And give us the line numbers while that’s being brought up on the screen.¶

9 10 MR. PAGLIUCA: It’s actually 3505-043, 9, at deposition page 37, lines 21 through 23.¶

11 THE COURT: I don’t have anything on my screen yet.¶

12 13 14 MR. PAGLIUCA: 3505-043, page 9, page 27, deposition, lines 21 through 23, continuing on to the next page, which is 28, lines 1 and 2.¶

24 “A. Yeah.¶

25 Did you tell the FBI the truth when they came to your¶

Q. You told the FBI the truth at that meeting; correct?¶

A. Some of the things I didn’t mention because I was¶

embarrassed.¶

4 Do you recall that testimony under oath?¶

5 6 A. I do not remember if I was under oath or not, but I do remember the question.¶

7 8 Q. Okay. And you testified in your deposition that you told the FBI the truth in 2007; correct?¶

10 11 Q. Okay. So let’s go back to what you told the FBI. And this is at 3505-005, page 1, fourth paragraph, second sentence:¶

12 13 14 Carolyn noticed an older lady with short black hair and an unknown accent at Epstein’s residence. Isn’t that what you told the FBI when you told them the truth in 2007?¶

16 17 Q. And they didn’t cut you off when you were talking to them; correct?¶

18 19 A. Well, that day was a bad day for me. So it was like — I was not expecting the FBI to come to my home.¶

20 21 Q. Okay. They didn’t cut you off though, they weren’t rude to you; correct?¶

22 A. No, they weren’t rude.¶

23 24 Q. Okay. And they gave you the opportunity to tell them whatever you wanted to tell them; correct?¶

house?¶

“A. Yes. I have absolute no — absolutely no reason to lie about this situation.”¶

Q. Now, at that point in your life, you knew what a British accent was; correct?¶

Q. And you didn’t tell them a British accent, you said an unknown accent; correct?¶

A. I didn’t say an unknown accent, I said with an accent.¶

Q. Are you denying telling the FBI in 2007 that you said an unknown accent?¶

A. The day that you’re talking about¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Your Honor, I’d ask that the Court —¶

A. — talking about —¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: I’d ask that the Court direct the witness to answer the question please.¶

THE COURT: I will direct the witness to answer the specific question and then you can explain.¶

Would you like —¶

THE WITNESS: Yeah, can I —¶

THE COURT: Repeat the question.¶

Q. You told the FBI that it was an unknown accent; correct?¶

4 5 Okay. You didn’t say anything else about the person that you claim you saw at Epstein’s house, correct, other than what is right here?¶

6 A. I guess, yeah.¶

7 Q. Okay.¶

8 9 A. I’m looking — I don’t know what I’m looking at and where you’re reading from.¶

10 11 THE COURT: I think at this point you can close and you can ask the question again just from her memory. Go ahead.¶

12 MR. PAGLIUCA: Thank you, your Honor.¶

13 14 15 Q. What you told the FBI in 2007 was that you saw an older lady with short black hair and an unknown accent, and that’s all you told them at the time; correct?¶

17 Q. Thank you.¶

18 19 Now, you went in and led you upstairs; correct?¶

21 Q. She knew where to go; correct?¶

23 Q. She instructed you to rub Mr. Epstein’s legs; correct?¶

25 Q. And she rubbed his back; correct?¶

Q. Thank you.¶

4 5 A. When we first walked in is when Maxwell introduced herself to me.¶

6 Q. You didn’t tell that to the FBI in 2007, did you?¶

7 A. No, I did not.¶

8 Q. Thank you.¶

9 10 So you went upstairs and directed you to rub Epstein’s legs while she rubbed his back; correct?¶

12 13 Q. Then Epstein told you to take off your shirt and your pants; correct?¶

14 A. Not at the first time, no.¶

15 16 17 MR. PAGLIUCA: If we can show the witness again 3505-005, page 1, fourth paragraph no, fifth paragraph, middle of the paragraph.¶

18 19 Isn’t it true that you told the FBI, Epstein stated to Carolyn, take off your shirt and take off your pants?¶

21 22 Q. Okay. And then you told the FBI, Virginia got naked and Carolyn undressed to her bra and panties, right?¶

24 25 Q. And it’s after that that , who’s 18 at this time, has sex with Mr. Epstein in front of you; correct?¶

A. Yes, but when we — can you back up for a second? Because when we first —¶

THE COURT: Could you talk into the mic.¶

4 5 Q. And they were looking at you while you were sitting on a ; correct?¶

6 A. No, they were not looking at me.¶

7 Q. Okay. Epstein paid you $300 directly to you; correct?¶

8 A. It was on the sink, but yes.¶

9 Q. It was from Mr. Epstein to you; correct?¶

10 11 A. I — I don’t know who it was from. It was just laying there. Anybody could have put it there.¶

12 13 MR. PAGLIUCA: Again, if we can show the witness 3505-005, page 2, paragraph 1.¶

14 15 Q. The second to the last sentence: Epstein paid Carolyn $300 at the end of the massage. Do you see that?¶

16 A. Yeah, I see that.¶

Q. Okay. And that’s while you sat on a ; correct?¶

4 Mr. Epstein paid you $300; is that correct?¶

5 A. Yes, we left after.¶

6 Q. And then after you left, isn’t it true that you got¶

7 Mr. Epstein’s phone number from the phonebook?¶

8 A. No.¶

9 10 MR. PAGLIUCA: We’re going to show the witness, please, 3505-005, page 2, third paragraph, first sentence.¶

11 12 13 Q. Isn’t it true that you told the FBI, in 2007, “Carolyn obtained Epstein’s phone number from a telephone book.” Do you see that?¶

14 15 A. Yeah, the telephone book that you’re talking about was my personal book. It wasn’t like a phonebook.¶

16 Q. Well, what you told the FBI —¶

17 18 A. It was a telephone book with my personal numbers of friends and loved ones.¶

19 20 Q. And you called to schedule a massage session by leaving a message with Sarah. Do you see that?¶

22 Q. And then Epstein returned your call; correct?¶

23 A. It was not Epstein who called me.¶

24 Q. Well, isn’t it true¶

25 A. It was someone in Epstein’s house that called me.¶

Q. That’s what you told the FBI in 2007; correct?¶

Q. Okay. You then left the house with after 4 5 A. I see that it says that, yes, but I don’t — at the time, the way that it’s worded is not that Jeffrey Epstein himself called me.¶

6 7 Q. Well, there is not a different name, is there? It says Epstein returned Carolyn’s call?¶

8 MS. COMEY: Objection, your Honor.¶

9 10 A. No. Yes, that’s what it says, but it wasn’t Epstein himself.¶

11 THE COURT: Sustained.¶

12 13 14 Q. Then there was a second visit that you had shortly after you returning Mr. Epstein’s call to schedule this second visit; correct?¶

15 A. I’m sorry. Can you repeat the question.¶

16 17 Q. Yes. You scheduled a second visit with Mr. Epstein after he returned your call; correct?¶

18 19 A. I made an appointment to meet with Mr. Epstein again after I got a phone call.¶

20 Q. And then your boyfriend, Sean, drove you; correct?¶

22 Q. And Sean waited in the car; is that right?¶

24 25 Q. And this second visit, first you sat in the kitchen and talked to the chef; correct?¶

Q. Isn’t it true that, in 2007, you told the FBI that Epstein returned Carolyn’s call?¶

A. I don’t recall if it was the second visit or a couple into going there.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: We can show the witness 005, page 2, paragraph 4, please.¶

Q. Isn’t it true that, in 2007 —¶

MS. COMEY: Objection, your Honor. Isn’t this refreshing recollection at this point?¶

THE COURT: Yes. If you want to point her to the paragraph and make it larger, that’s fine.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Sure. Fourth paragraph, please enlarge that.¶

Q. Have you had a chance to look at the fourth paragraph?¶

A. I’m reading it right now, sir.¶

Q. Okay.¶

Q. Does reading that paragraph refresh your recollection that you told the FBI that you sat in the kitchen and the chef asked if you were hungry?¶

A. You might be wrong on the paragraph you had me read. It mentioned nothing about a chef. It mentioned about me taking off my panties to get $400.¶

Q. We should be at 005, page 2, paragraph 4.¶

THE COURT: You mean the fourth full paragraph?¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Correct.¶

4 THE COURT: That’s not there.¶

5 MR. PAGLIUCA: 3505-005, page 2.¶

6 THE WITNESS: You’re wrong.¶

7 MR. PAGLIUCA: I’m looking at a paper copy.¶

8 9 10 THE COURT: Why don’t you look at your paralegal’s screen and make sure you’re directing to the right paragraph, please.¶

11 12 I think you mean the third full paragraph. Is that what you’re looking for?¶

13 MR. PAGLIUCA: Yes, the third full paragraph.¶

14 THE COURT: All right. We have that now.¶

15 Question?¶

16 17 MR. PAGLIUCA: Yes, your Honor. I was waiting for the witness to finish.¶

18 BY MR. PAGLIUCA:¶

19 20 21 Q. Carolyn, does that refresh your memory that that’s what you told the FBI in 2007, that you sat in the kitchen and the chef asked if you were hungry?¶

23 24 Q. Isn’t it also true that on that second visit, Sarah was there and led you upstairs?¶

25 A. I wasn’t led upstairs by anybody.¶

THE COURT: That’s not what was said.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: I’m sorry. The fourth line down beginning with “She.”¶

4 5 6 MR. PAGLIUCA: If we can direct the witness back to the third paragraph, starting with the word “Sarah” after the word “Hungry.”¶

7 THE WITNESS: I see what you’re saying.¶

8 9 10 Q. Does this refresh your recollection that, in 2007, you told the FBI that Sarah was there and led her — meaning you upstairs?¶

11 12 13 A. A lot of it runs together because I had gone there so many times. So I’m a little confused on the timing, because the second time I went to his residence, I did not see Sarah.¶

14 15 Q. So isn’t it true, though, that that’s what you told the FBI in 2007?¶

16 A. Obviously, because it’s here.¶

17 18 Q. And you also told them, in 2007, that Sarah placed towels on the massage table; correct?¶

19 A. Yes, that’s what it states.¶

20 21 22 Q. And at this second time, there is no one else there that you have told the FBI about, other than Sarah and Mr. Epstein; correct?¶

23 A. Yes. Maxwell was not brought up.¶

24 25 Q. It’s also true that Sarah was the person who would call you from New York to schedule massages; correct?¶

Q. Sarah was there to greet you?¶

A. The second time I had gone to Epstein’s residence, Maxwell greeted me.¶

A. It wasn’t only Sarah, no.¶

4 A. Question.¶

5 6 Q. Does this refresh your memory that Sarah would call you from New York to schedule a massage appointment for Epstein?¶

7 A. On some occasions, yes.¶

8 9 Q. Ms. Maxwell’s name does not appear in that paragraph; correct?¶

10 A. We were not talking about Ms. Maxwell in 2007.¶

11 Q. Okay.¶

12 A. So this has nothing to do with¶

13 14 15 Q. Now, in this entire first discussion with the FBI in 2007, it’s true that you never said the name, Ghislaine Maxwell, once; correct?¶

16 A. Yes, because it’s not who we were talking about.¶

17 18 Q. So is it your testimony that the FBI limited your ability to talk in some fashion?¶

19 A. She was not the subject of the discussion.¶

20 21 22 23 Q. You talked about , you talked about Sarah, you talked about Sean, you talked about Epstein, you talked about a , you talked about going there, and you never mentioned Maxwell once; correct?¶

24 25 A. Correct, because she was not topic of what they were asking me. It had nothing to do with her at the time. But, yes,¶

several occasions, she was there, but I was not asked about her.¶

Q. You gave other information to the FBI about Sarah. Do you recall that?¶

A. What kind — what’s the information?¶

Q. Do you recall telling the FBI that Sarah called you from New York to tell you about the Incubus tickets?¶

A. I believe it was Epstein who called me about the Incubus tickets.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: If we can direct the witness to 005, page 3, paragraph 5, the second to last sentence.¶

THE WITNESS: What about it?¶

Q. Does this refresh your memory that you told the FBI, in 2007, that Sarah called Carolyn to inform her that Epstein left the concert tickets for her?¶

Q. And it was Sarah who called you to tell you that Epstein wanted to take photographs of you; correct?¶

A. What does that have to do with what I’m reading?¶

MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I think the document may still be up for the witness.¶

THE COURT: Okay. Shut the document.¶

May I re-ask the question, your Honor?¶

Q. It was Sarah who called you to tell you —¶

Q. — that Epstein wanted to take photographs of you; correct?¶

Q. And you left Florida in 2003 to go to Georgia; correct?¶

Q. Now I want to talk about the lawsuit that you filed¶

A. What does that have to do with me going to Georgia?¶

Q. I’m changing the question here. Okay?¶

You filed a lawsuit against Epstein and¶

in 2008; correct?¶

Q. You had lawyers. One of your lawyers was a man named jack Scarola; correct?¶

Q. Mr. Scarola is still your lawyer; correct?¶

A. I don’t believe so.¶

Q. Mr. Scarola represented you in your claim with the Epstein Victim Compensation Fund; correct?¶

4 A. Yes, I do.¶

5 6 Q. The lawsuits that were filed in 2008 were after your first discussion with the FBI in 2007; correct?¶

7 A. I’m not sure.¶

8 9 Q. Well, you met with the FBI in 2007 and then there was a lawsuit in 2008; right?¶

11 Q. And before the lawsuits were filed, you had lawyers; right?¶

12 A. Correct.¶

13 Q. And you had meetings with lawyers about the lawsuits?¶

15 16 Q. And based on those meetings, you filed not one, but two civil complaints. Do you recall that?¶

17 A. I — yeah.¶

18 Q. I want to talk about the second civil complaint first.¶

19 First, you read that complaint before it was filed.¶

20 Do you recall that?¶

21 A. I don’t recall.¶

22 23 24 MR. PAGLIUCA: If we can direct the witness to 3505-043, page 41, deposition page 157, lines 18 through 25. If we can blow that up for the witness and the Court, please.¶

25 THE COURT: Okay.¶

Q. And you also had a lawyer in 2008 named Richard Willits.¶

Do you remember Mr. Willits?¶

4 5 question. THE COURT: You can leave it up for reading the¶

6 MR. PAGLIUCA: Thank you, your Honor.¶

7 THE COURT: Go ahead.¶

8 Q• You were asked:¶

9 “Q. Did you read the complaint before it was filed?¶

10 “A. Yeah, I read the complaint.¶

11 12 “Q. Did you — when you read the complaint, did you notice there was anything missing from it?¶

13 14 “A. No, I trust my attorneys. That’s why they’re my attorneys.”¶

15 Correct?¶

16 A. Right.¶

17 Q. And moving on to the next question on the same page:¶

18 Did you tell anyone, your lawyers or anybody —¶

19 THE COURT: Just a second.¶

20 21 MR. PAGLIUCA: That question was objected to, your Honor, so I’m not going to read it.¶

22 THE COURT: Okay.¶

23 24 Q. The complaint that you filed in federal court was not against Ms. Maxwell; correct?¶

25 A. Correct.¶

Q. Do you recall testifying in your deposition, under oath?¶

4 A. Correct.¶

5 6 Q. The complaint was 91 pages with 209 paragraphs. Do you remember that?¶

8 9 Q. And not one paragraph had the word “Maxwell” in it; correct?¶

11 12 13 MR. PAGLIUCA: I would like to show the witness and the Court first Exhibit C4. I provided the government a copy of this exhibit.¶

14 THE WITNESS: Is it in the binder?¶

15 16 MR. PAGLIUCA: It’s in the smaller binder. We can put it on the screen, if that’s easier.¶

17 THE WITNESS: What’s the number?¶

18 MR. PAGLIUCA: C4.¶

19 THE WITNESS: Okay.¶

20 THE COURT: Question.¶

21 MR. PAGLIUCA: Yes, your Honor.¶

22 BY MR. PAGLIUCA:¶

23 24 25 Q. This complaint was filed by Mr. Willits on your behalf in state court. Do you recall that? If you look at page 3, Mr. Willits’ signature is there.¶

Q. I’m sorry. I didn’t hear the answer.¶

Q. The complaint didn’t mention Ms. Maxwell’s name; correct?¶

4 A. I might be in the wrong binder. Is it this one?¶

5 6 Q. It should have — yes, I think that’s the one, and it should be at C —¶

7 8 THE COURT: Well, there is no C. I think you mean tab¶

9 10 MR. PAGLIUCA: Yes, tab 4, which is going to be Exhibit C4.¶

THE COURT: You skipped a word.¶

Q. “…was the first brought to the defendant, Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion in late May or early June 2002 when she was 15 years old and in middle school.”¶

A. Correct. I see that it says that, yes.¶

4. Okay.

A. But it’s inaccurate.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: I’d like to show the witness paragraph 21 of Exhibit C5.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: I move for the admission of paragraph 21, your Honor.¶

Carolyn was brought to Jeffrey Epstein’s residence by a female friend of hers. Carolyn sat on the while the female friend took off her own clothes, mounted Jeffrey Epstein, who was wearing only a towel and lying on a table, and performed a sexual act upon Jeffrey Epstein in the presence of Carolyn in exchange for her participation as an observer of Jeffrey Epstein’s lewd and insidious conduct. Carolyn was paid $300 by Jeffrey Epstein.”¶

Correct?¶

A. That’s what it states.¶

Q. Paragraph 27 is another factual paragraph filed by your lawyers in federal court in this lawsuit; correct?¶

A. Sorry?¶

Q. Paragraph 27, could you look at that, please.¶

A. Okay. It’s true.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: I move for the admission of paragraph 27, your Honor.¶

MS. COMEY: No objection.¶

THE COURT: Without objection, you may read 27.¶

Q. Paragraph 27 says: “Approximately one week after the first incident, Carolyn received a telephone call from Jeffrey Epstein requesting that she return to his residence. On this occasion, Jeffrey Epstein directed Carolyn to undress to her brassier and underwear and to provide him with a massage. At¶

True?¶

A. True. But what does this have to do —¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: I’d like to direct the witness’s attention to paragraph 33. And this will be the last exemplary, your Honor —¶

THE COURT: Just ask the question.¶

Q. Do you see paragraph 33?¶

Q. And that’s another factual paragraph in the complaint against Mr. Epstein, filed in federal court in 2009; correct?¶

Q. And again, that’s true?¶

MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I would object. It’s not inconsistent.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Your Honor, may I respond?¶

THE COURT: I’m sustaining. Move on. We’ll deal with it at the break.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Okay. I’m going to move for the¶

6 7 8 Q. Carolyn, this complaint repeats these same paragraphs against Mr. Epstein two times per month up to August 2003. Do you recall that?¶

9 A. I do not recall.¶

10 11 MR. PAGLIUCA: I’d like to show the witness paragraph 206.¶

12 THE WITNESS: Okay.¶

13 14 Q. Paragraph 206 is a factual complaint against Do you see that?¶

15 A. Yes, I do.¶

16 17 Q. And again, that was reviewed by you prior to it being filed in federal court by your lawyers; correct?¶

18 A. Um, what was the question, if it was correct?¶

19 20 Q. You reviewed this prior to it being filed in federal court by your lawyers, correct, and approved it?¶

21 A. I did not.¶

22 23 Q. Do you recall me asking you questions about your testimony under oath earlier?¶

24 A. I do.¶

25 Q. And you agreed that you gave that testimony under oath in¶

admission of paragraph 33, your Honor.¶

MS. COMEY: Same objection.¶

THE COURT: Sustained. We’ll take it up at the break.¶

5 6 THE COURT: I think the witness is looking at the paragraph. So clarify the question.¶

7 MR. PAGLIUCA: Okay.¶

8 9 Q. Isn’t this paragraph 206 of the complaint that you agreed you reviewed and agreed with; correct?¶

11 12 Q. This paragraph does not contain the name Ghislaine Maxwell; correct?¶

14 15 MR. PAGLIUCA: I move for the admission of paragraph 206, your Honor.¶

16 MS. COMEY: Same objection, your Honor.¶

17 THE COURT: Sustained.¶

18 19 Q. Paragraph 207, again, this paragraph deals with ; correct?¶

20 21 A. I don’t believe that it was to engage me in prostitution, no.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Your Honor, there are a number of these that I will address with the Court at the break if that’s all right.¶

Q. Do you remember, Carolyn, talking to Dr. in connection with this lawsuit?¶

A. Who? I’m sorry. Repeat the question.¶

Q. Do you remember talking to —¶

THE COURT: I’m sorry. Stop. You can close the binder, Carolyn. Thank you.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: May I, your Honor?¶

THE COURT: You may.¶

Q. Do you remember talking to Dr. Richard for about six and a half hours in connection with this lawsuit at your lawyer’s office on October 21st, 2009?¶

A. I don’t have any recollection of that.¶

Q. You have no recollection of meeting with Dr. for six and a half hours on October 21st, 2009?¶

Q. Do you recall telling Dr. that you started seeing Epstein in 2002?¶

A. Yeah.¶

4 5 6 Q. There were also, in connection with this lawsuit, what are called interrogatories that you answered under oath. Do you recall that?¶

7 A. That what?¶

8 Q. There were documents called interrogatories¶

9 A. I don’t know what that — what those are.¶

10 Q. They were questions sent by lawyers¶

11 A. Okay.¶

12 13 Q. — to your lawyer for you to answer under oath. Do you recall that?¶

14 A. I didn’t — I don’t don’t know anything about that.¶

15 16 MR. PAGLIUCA: If we can show the witness 3505-043, page 5, deposition page 12, lines 23 through 25.¶

17 Q. Have you had an opportunity to review that, Carolyn?¶

18 THE COURT: It just came up.¶

19 A. Yeah. Review — which numbers am I?¶

20 Q. Sure.¶

21 A. The whole thing?¶

22 Q. You should be looking at page 12, lines 19 through 25.¶

23 24 MS. COMEY: Your Honor, is the question whether this refreshes recollection?¶

25 THE COURT: I think that is the question.¶

Q. Yes, you do?¶

4 BY MR. PAGLIUCA:¶

5 6 Q. Well, reviewing those questions and answers, does that refresh your recollection —¶

7 A. You want me to read from 8 and 9 to 20 and 20-what?¶

8 Q. Deposition page 12, on that page.¶

9 A. Okay.¶

10 Q. Lines 18 through 25.¶

11 A. 18 through 25. Like I said, I’m so confused.¶

12 Okay. I read it.¶

13 14 15 16 17 Q. Does that refresh your recollection that you were shown your answers to interrogatories, Mr. Scarola directed you to them, and that you said to Mr. Scarola, this is what me and you did, right, then it should be correct, unless somebody messed with it?¶

18 19 MS. COMEY: Objection, your Honor. I didn’t think that was what — the witness said she didn’t recall.¶

20 THE COURT: Sustained.¶

21 Q. Isn’t it true that’s what you said under oath in 2009?¶

22 MS. COMEY: A same objection.¶

23 THE COURT: Sustained.¶

24 25 Q. I’d like to show you, Carolyn, the answers to interrogatories that you authored and swore to under oath in¶

THE WITNESS: I am confused.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: It is.¶

THE WITNESS: Very confused right now.¶

12 Q. And you signed that under oath; correct?¶

13 14 A. Yes, I believe so. That is — that’s my signature, my first name, yes.¶

15 16 MR. PAGLIUCA: Your Honor, I move for the admission of C8.¶

17 MS. COMEY: Same objection, your Honor.¶

18 THE COURT: We’ll take it up at the break.¶

19 20 21 MR. PAGLIUCA: I’m going to have the same request, your Honor, as to C9, which we’ll take up at the break, I assume?¶

factual inconsistency.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Well, your Honor, there are two principals at play here.¶

The first is this is what is commonly referred to as impeachment by omission, which is a subset of impeachment by contradiction. Impeachment by omission typically occurs where there is a document or a statement where the witness would likely include whatever is omitted, and this is such a document, and I am seeking to impeach by omission through this document. This is a complaint against two people that this witness claims sexually abused her. It’s not only against Epstein, it’s against one of Epstein’s employees who is highlighted in this complaint. The entire testimony by the government here through this witness has downplayed the role of and up-played the role of Ghislaine Maxwell, and it is an impeachment by omission that, in 2008, shortly after being interviewed by the FBI about the same subject matter with counsel, there is no mention of Maxwell in this entire complaint. I think that is significant under the facts of this case. So, I think it is admissible under that theory and there is ample federal law, First Circuit, this circuit, that supports that theory of impeachment by omission. And these factual paragraphs, I believe, are also impeaching of the witness’s testimony because it is inconsistent with the things that she has claimed happened to her in addition to these¶

4 MR. PAGLIUCA: Yes.¶

5 THE COURT: What paragraph is inconsistent?¶

6 MR. PAGLIUCA: Well, the fact that Ms. Maxwell —¶

7 THE COURT: Point me to a paragraph.¶

8 MR. PAGLIUCA: All of the paragraphs, your Honor.¶

9 THE COURT: On the same theory you just pronounced?¶

10 MR. PAGLIUCA: Yes.¶

11 12 THE COURT: So then on your second theory, can you point to any inconsistency?¶

13 14 15 16 MR. PAGLIUCA: Well, these are all omissions, your Honor, factual. So paragraph 8, for example, the witness has testified now that she was the subject of penetration and intercourse by Epstein. Paragraph 8 does not include that.¶

17 18 19 Paragraph 9, I think, is an expansion. We have only often calling — excuse me. 11A is what I’m looking at.¶

20 21 THE COURT: So other than the omission theory, is there an inconsistency you’re pointing to?¶

22 MR. PAGLIUCA: No.¶

23 24 25 THE COURT: Is there any other? I understand your omission theory, I’ll hear from Ms. Comey on that in a second, I do have a question for you on it, and I need to read the¶

things that are in the complaint.¶

THE COURT: So that’s a long way of getting to my - responding to my first question.¶

4 5 Let me just ask. If there were, for example, a paragraph that said these are some of the facts of what occurred, but not all of them, would your omission theory work to get everything in?¶

6 MR. PAGLIUCA: Yes.¶

7 THE COURT: If there is a few discrepancies?¶

8 MR. PAGLIUCA: Yes.¶

9 10 11 12 13 14 THE COURT: Do you have a case for that proposition? I mean, it’s really a factual question whether there is a reasonable inference available from which the jury could conclude that there is an inconsistency by testifying to one thing to inclusion of facts now that were not included previously.¶

15 16 17 18 MR. PAGLIUCA: I think that’s true and it’s under the circumstances — I mean the case law, I can — I need to pull up my computer to give you the cite here, your Honor, but I’ll do that now.¶

19 THE COURT: Okay. Go ahead, Ms. Comey.¶

20 21 22 23 24 25 MS. COMEY: Thank you, your Honor. I think the theory of omission only works where one would expect that the specific facts that are omitted would be included in the particular statement. This is a lawsuit brought against two defendants and it is containing the core allegations against those two defendants. One would not expect that to include allegations¶

whole thing.¶

against third parties. I think that’s borne out by the substance of the document. Count One only talks about Jeffrey Epstein, the first defendant. Count Two only talks about , the second defendant. I think that that makes sense and it wouldn’t be expected that Ghislaine Maxwell or anyone else would be included in allegations in a complaint against those two.¶

More broadly, I think defense counsel has already gotten the point that he wants to make across to the jury. He has made very, very clear, repeatedly, that this witness sued Jeffrey Epstein and and not Ghislaine Maxwell. They have now heard that she has filed multiple court documents that are lengthy in which the defendant’s name is not mentioned. So he has everything he needs to make his impeachment point. At this point, it’s cumulative and risks 403 prejudice and confusion of the issues, and a sideshow about a 2009 lawsuit to put in the document itself. He has everything he needs.¶

THE COURT: I think that he has everything he needs goes to the relevance of the contention that the exclusion is there.¶

MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I think that the point is that she wasn’t included as a defendant. I don’t think that it would be expected, especially in a document —¶

THE COURT: I think it’s a redirect point, frankly,¶

counsel. And on a 401, 403, it is already in, it’s a document. So it’s really a cumulative argument. The point that you want to make, I presume you’ll make on redirect. Since the point has already been made, I don’t see that there is tremendous prejudice in including the document itself.¶

MS. COMEY: Your Honor, my concern would be that these are crafted by lawyers in order to satisfy the elements of particular causes of action.¶

MS. COMEY: It will confuse the issues and it’s not written in a narrative form and it wasn’t offered by this witness, and I think it would confuse the issues to start putting these words in that her attorneys wrote. She did not write this.¶

THE COURT: I think those are fine redirect points. We’ve already established the 401 of the omission, I don’t think it causes substantial 403 prejudice, and you’re going to make those redirect points in any event. So at least with respect to this document C4, I’m going to overrule the objection.¶

C5, I think might be in a different position. I mean, 206 says, expressly, is one of defendant Epstein’s employees, assistants referenced in paragraph 12. Epstein, , and others reached an agreement between themselves for the purposes of allowing defendant Epstein to commit the¶

illegal acts. And then if you turn back to 12, 12 says, Epstein’s a wealthy financier with a lavish home, wealth, a network of assistants and employees used his resource and influence over a vulnerable minor child to engage in a systematic pattern of sexually exploited behavior.¶

I mean, on its terms, it references additional people. And so, on its face, it’s not exclusive and I think that puts it in a different position.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Your Honor, with regard to this exhibit, I was simply offering discrete factual paragraphs.¶

THE COURT: Right. But 206 — so 206 was the one that we began with. I don’t think that paragraph is factually inconsistent with the testimony for precisely the reason I’ve just indicated.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: I think we left off with 206.¶

THE COURT: So what’s the next paragraph?¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: I mean, I can go through it and tell you all the paragraphs that I’m intending to introduce or ask¶

THE COURT: So 206 is not inconsistent. Therefore, the objection is sustained.¶

What’s the next paragraph?¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Well, let me look at 206 and hopefully respond to that.¶

THE COURT: That’s fine.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: I agree with you.¶

THE COURT: What’s next?¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Well, I guess the question — I’m not sure where we left off, your Honor, because I think we got to about 33, and then we were going to take it up at sidebar.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: I’m fine with not admitting that, your Honor. I think that’s right.¶

THE COURT: They might want to get that one in.¶

4 5 THE COURT: I don’t know — so again, return to - what’s the inconsistency?¶

6 7 8 MR. PAGLIUCA: Well, the indictment says 2001. In her direct testimony she said 2001, and on the cross-examination, she admitted to 2002.¶

9 10 THE COURT: So you have to use a full sentence so I can track you. She said the first incident was in 2001.¶

11 MR. PAGLIUCA: Yes.¶

12 13 THE COURT: She then talked about 100 additional incidents —¶

14 MR. PAGLIUCA: Right.¶

15 16 17 THE COURT: — over the course of at least a couple of years. So what’s inconsistent in July of 2002, she again returned to?¶

18 19 20 21 22 23 24 MR. PAGLIUCA: This is chronological through this complaint. This complaint goes from — 2002 is the beginning spot, and goes through 2003. So the entirety of the allegation is that these events occurred between 2002 and 2003, not 2001 and 2004. And so this is impeachment on the time frame that is alleged in the indictment and testified to by the witness on direct examination.¶

25 THE COURT: Is there a paragraph that talks about the¶

THE COURT: Okay. Should I look at 33?¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Yes, 33. The first inconsistency with the direct testimony is the date, July of 2002.¶

first couple of incidents, which I think would be, as you’re suggesting, time frame inconsistent.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: I think you admitted those already, your Honor.¶

THE COURT: See? I’m consistent.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: You are. Yes, you are. Yes, you are.¶

The Court admitted paragraph 21, I think, as the — 21 and 27.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: And where we started getting —¶

THE COURT: 21 and 27. 27 is called incident two.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Right.¶

THE COURT: And then 33, I’m not saying an inconsistency. I’ll sustain there.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: 39 —¶

THE COURT: And to the extent it is, because it could somehow be read as part of a time frame that’s off, it’s consistent with her — it falls within the time frame she testified to; it’s not specific as to which incident this is. To the extent there’s 401 relevance, it’s cumulative of the point that you’ve already gotten in, which is that this — that the first incident described in this complaint took place in 2002, and her testimony is that it took place in 2001.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: But also to that point, your Honor,¶

this is inconsistent because we’re not — we’re not talking about 2001, we’re talking about 2002.¶

25¶

THE COURT: Right. But it doesn’t specify — she testified to incidents like these in 2002, and so it’s just not — tell me how it’s inconsistent with that testimony.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Well, you know, for the second time in July of 2002¶

THE COURT: No, it doesn’t say that.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Paragraph 39 is what I’m looking at¶

THE COURT: II, you told me 33. I am a lot of things, but I am not a mind reader. I sustained on 33.¶

I will go to 39. Go ahead.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: So for the second time in July of 2002. This is —¶

THE COURT: I mean, that reads like more than one incident in July of 2002.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: The second, not a third, not a fourth.¶

THE COURT: For the second time. Okay.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: And when we get through all of this, the other inconsistency that tracks all of these is there is no allegation of sexual intrusion or penetration. Every single one of these allegations is fondling of breasts and buttocks, every single one. And so we have new testimony about the acts that were allegedly performed.¶

THE COURT: All right. Ms. Comey, do you want to¶

4 5 6 7 MS. COMEY: So for 39, your Honor, first with respect Lo the time frame, I think the first clause is for the second time in that month of that year. That’s not inconsistent with what the witness testified to. She testified she was going frequently, certainly at least twice a month, through 2002. So that’s not inconsistent.¶

8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 With respect to the sex acts, I think here is part of the issue with taking a legal document and trying to suggest that the witness should have included every single detail in it. It is not necessarily the case that in order to make out the legal claims in this complaint, that a lawyer would have needed to include anything other than fondling and masturbation. So it is not to be expected that if she had told her attorneys about the other sex acts, that they would have included it. And so I don’t think the theory of omissions works with respect to the sex acts.¶

18 MR. PAGLIUCA: I disagree, your Honor.¶

19 THE COURT: Yes, I imagine.¶

20 21 22 MR. PAGLIUCA: I mean, Ms. Comey doesn’t do civil work, but it is significant. And it is significant for many reasons. And in particular —¶

23 24 25 THE COURT: This one, there are details included. The one detail that was testified to is a significant detail. So with respect to 39, I’ll overrule. Sorry, I’ll sustain.¶

respond to that for paragraph 39?¶

4 5 6 7 8 9 10 I don’t think the witness testified to a particular time frame when the penetration actually took place. And so I don’t know that we can say that any particular paragraph is necessarily inconsistent, because I don’t think she testified to a time frame. I don’t know that she would remember a particular time frame. I think that this could be more readily accomplished to the extent Mr. Pagliuca wants to point out that this complaint does not contain a reference to that particular sex act. I think he can ask her the question.¶

11 12 MR. PAGLIUCA: Your Honor, I think the document itself has value —¶

13 14 THE COURT: You’re not moving the whole document. We’ve established that. So one paragraph at a time.¶

15 MR. PAGLIUCA: Right. The paragraphs have value —¶

16 17 18 THE COURT: And you’ll respond to Ms. Comey’s point that it’s only inconsistent if the time frame matches up with the time frame that she’s testified as to penetration.¶

19 Do you have a response to that?¶

20 21 22 23 24 25 MR. PAGLIUCA: Well, she testified here that it was more frequent than what’s alleged. So that’s one problem with the argument from the government. I think she testified here that it was up to four times a week that she was going. And this complaint goes month by month, two times a month. That’s what it talks about. That’s what this is. So that’s another¶

inconsistency. I’m not sure where the disconnect is here on the factual inconsistency where there is specific claim of fondling breasts and buttocks. At the conclusion of the massage, Jeffrey Epstein masturbated himself in C presence, paid C in excess of $200 for this encounter, which is also inconsistent with the testimony, which she’s claiming 300, up to 600 an encounter. So it’s inconsistent.¶

THE COURT: All right. I’m going to overrule on 39 and I think Ms. Comey’s points are fully available for cross - sorry, for redirect on this one.¶

The time frame pace is a little difficult to match up exactly given that there is some — a little bit of a shift - well, it’s hard to know what time frame this is referring to, but I think in light of the witness’s testimony, there’s an inference available that paragraph 39 falls within the time frame that she talked about, penetrative acts, and that’s not included. So I’ll allow 39.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: The same argument for 45, your Honor.¶

MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I would just like to clarify that the witness only described one penetrative act on one occasion once. So it cannot be that she’s inconsistent if she doesn’t mention it in 50 different allegations on 50 different dates.¶

THE COURT: Was that the testimony, that there was¶

4 5 6 7 MS. COMEY: Yes, your Honor. It was the second incident where Jeffrey Epstein brought another female into the room. She testified that he briefly penetrated her twice during that incident. So he inserted his penis into her two times during that one incident and that was it. So it’s one incident.¶

8 9 10 11 THE COURT: Okay. I’m re-persuaded. I’m going to sustain on 39. But you can ask the question about are there any allegations in the complaint regarding penetrative sex, which is as she testified to.¶

12 Next paragraph.¶

13 14 MR. PAGLIUCA: 51. And this is the same — the same issue.¶

15 MS. COMEY: And the same objection, your Honor.¶

16 THE COURT: All right. So I’ll sustain on 51.¶

17 Next.¶

18 MR. PAGLIUCA: 57.¶

19 20 21 22 THE COURT: And again, you can ask the question, but it’s not, on its face, inconsistent. And I don’t think there’s an inference available. And to the extent there is, it would be cumulative of the question that you’re asking.¶

23 57.¶

24 MS. COMEY: Same objection, your Honor.¶

25 THE COURT: All right.¶

only a penetrative act once?¶

I’ll sustain on 57 for the same reason.¶

4 MR. PAGLIUCA: I think I can — I can just tell you all of them, your Honor, which are going to be the same.¶

5 6 7 8 9 10 THE COURT: If they are all on that same theory, then you can make the record. If there’s any different theory of inconsistency, either as to the specific time frame and testimony or to some different inference available, I’ll hear it. But otherwise just make the record with respect to the numbered paragraphs.¶

11 12 MR. PAGLIUCA: Sure. And when I get to the place where it’s different, I’ll stop and we’ll address that.¶

13 THE COURT: Okay.¶

14 MR. PAGLIUCA: Is that fair?¶

15 THE COURT: Fair.¶

16 MR. PAGLIUCA: 63.¶

17 THE COURT: Okay. Sustained.¶

18 MR. PAGLIUCA: 69, 75.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: 177.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: 183.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: There’s a slightly different argument on 189.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: And 195.¶

These are the end dates of the allegations, which brackets it before 2004, which is inconsistent with the testimony. And so these are the last two dates alleged in this complaint which does not go farther than August of 2003.¶

MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I think the paragraphs themselves are still consistent. I think Mr. Pagliuca can make the point by asking the question of the witness about whether there were any allegations contained after August 2003 in the complaint.¶

THE COURT: Is there a line that says it’s the final contact?¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Well, it just says August 2003, incident one and incident two.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: And there are no further allegations in the complaint.¶

4 I think if it said the last incident, then fine. But otherwise you can ask the question. The paragraph itself is not inconsistent.¶

5 What else?¶

6 7 MR. PAGLIUCA: Well, I’m offering 207 and 208 with regard to¶

8 THE COURT: 207.¶

9 MR. PAGLIUCA: 207 and 208.¶

10 THE COURT: What’s the inconsistency in 207?¶

11 12 13 14 15 MR. PAGLIUCA: Again, these are — well, as to all of these, I’ll just make this argument as to all of the paragraphs that the Court sustained. I view these as impeachment by omission because Ms. Maxwell’s name does not appear in any of these paragraphs.¶

16 17 18 19 20 THE COURT: Right. So this is why this one is different than the last document, which is because of paragraph 206 and paragraph 12, which expressly reference other unnamed individual employees and assistants. So on that ground I’ll sustain on 207.¶

21 Is there something different in 208?¶

22 MR. PAGLIUCA: No.¶

23 THE COURT: Okay. So sustained on that ground, too.¶

24 What else?¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Those are going to be C-8, I believe, starting at —¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: — tab 8.¶

THE COURT: Okay. Is there a specific inconsistency or is it the omission theory?¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Yes. It’s both.¶

THE COURT: Objection. Compound. Sustained.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: It’s both.¶

This document, we need to read the question with the answer. And so question 16: State in detail how you came to be at Mr. Epstein’s home on each occasion, i.e., did someone bring you or ask you if you would or wanted to go. If so, state the name and address of that individual and what he/she told you and the purpose of your visit.¶

THE COURT: Okay. It’s an open-ended question.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Right. The answer is limited.¶

THE COURT: Okay. So I will allow — Ms. Comey, unless you want to be heard, my inclination is to allow the question and answer in 16 in.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: The same is 17, your Honor, we have the question: The amount of monies or anything of value you¶

claim you were given or paid to you by Mr. Epstein or someone, yaddah, yaddah. And we have an expansive time frame here. And the question, 2000 to 2006. And then the answer again is she’s only paid for May or June of 2002 to August of 2003. So we’ve excluded two whole years by this answer in terms of the time frame the witness testified to.¶

THE COURT: Okay. On the time frame inconsistency, I’ll allow 17, question and answer.¶

What’s next?¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: 19 is all males who had any sexual contact with her. It says sexual assault or battery since age 10. And the answer is none. And she’s testified that there were two males, I believe, that had sexual contact with her.¶

MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I believe the testimony was that they saw her naked in the massage room. I don’t believe there was testimony about sexual contact. I would want to check the transcript, your Honor, but that is my recollection of the testimony.¶

THE COURT: It’s mine as well, but you’ll check the transcript. In the absence of that, I don’t see any inconsistency.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Well, then 20 covers lewd or lascivious conduct, which would be naked people in a massage looking at a naked underage —¶

MS. COMEY: Again, your Honor, the testimony was just¶

that they saw her naked. There was no other color on it.¶

There was no suggestion that they were engaged in sex acts or¶

that they were naked. I have the same objection.¶

THE COURT: I’m going to overrule on that one, 20.¶

There’s the inference available of inconsistency, so I’ll allow 20.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: 21 is a description —¶

THE COURT: Just to spell that out, on the theory that other males present in the room during conduct described could be deemed lewd and lascivious conduct.¶

MS. COMEY: I just want to be clear, your Honor, that the description was that they saw her naked in the massage room, not that they saw her during any of the conduct. I think there was testimony that she would be naked for a period before Jeffrey Epstein would come in; and so it would just be them seeing her nude in the room is what the testimony was, not lewd and lascivious conduct.¶

THE COURT: Well, I’m going to overrule on 20.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: 21 is simply asking a description of the lewd and lascivious exhibition, the date, and whether you received money or other consideration. Answer, none.¶

THE COURT: Okay. Exhibition we did not get testimony on, so I’ll sustain. There’s no inconsistency on 21. No¶

4 5 6 7 MR. PAGLIUCA: Yes. C-9, question 16. This is an amendment to the prior question 16 by the witness. And the witness added in this amendment: I was also transported via private car provided by Jeffrey Epstein.¶

8 9 10 11 It’s significant, your Honor, in that the witness had the opportunity to think about, reflect, add information here, and did not. And it is important in the context of this case where there’s this changed memory over time.¶

12 THE COURT: Okay. I see the inconsistency.¶

13 MR. PAGLIUCA: Thank you.¶

14 THE COURT: 16 I’ll allow.¶

15 What else?¶

16 17 MR. PAGLIUCA: I think that’s it — well, then there’s — well, I think that’s it.¶

18 19 THE COURT: Okay. We really need to get the jury back.¶

20 MS. STERNHEIM: Can we just have five minutes, Judge?¶

21 THE COURT: You can take five.¶

22 23 24 MS. COMEY: And, your Honor, can I ask how long we have left on cross-examination? I think it’s been longer than the direct at this point.¶

THE COURT: Everyone may be seated. And we’re getting the witness, so it will just be a second.¶

Members of the jury, sorry for the extended break. We were working through issues to minimize the sidebars, so thank you for your patience.¶

While we have a second, I’ll use the time to remind you of scheduling issues this week. Same as it’s been.¶

Next week, you’ll recall, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday we won’t sit. That’s because I have a scheduling conflict. So we’ll be back Thursday, Friday.¶

And then the following week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, then we’re off for the Christmas break.¶

And the following week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,¶

Mr. Pagliuca, you may continue with your cross-examination.¶

I’d like to direct the witness to 3505-43, page 10, deposition page 31, lines 21 through 25.¶

THE COURT: Can we get them called up please.¶

THE WITNESS: I’m at page 10.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: It will come up on the screen.¶

THE COURT: Page and lines?¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Excuse me? Page and line, your Honor, we’re going to start —¶

MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I would object to this.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Start at page 32, line — 31, line 18. I’ll have the witness to see if it refreshes —¶

THE COURT: What are the lines?¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: 3505-043, page 10, deposition page¶

THE COURT: I can’t hear you, Mr. Pagliuca.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: I’m trying to bend down, talk, and read at the same time.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: 3505-043, page 10, deposition page 31, line 19.¶

7 THE WITNESS: II, okay.¶

8 THE COURT: Sustained.¶

9 10 MR. PAGLIUCA: Your Honor, I’d like the opportunity to make a record on this after.¶

11 THE WITNESS: There is nothing on my screen.¶

12 THE COURT: It’s okay. Next question.¶

13 MR. PAGLIUCA: Yes, your Honor.¶

15 16 Q. Carolyn, in the 2002 to 2003 time frame, you were abusing multiple substances; correct?¶

17 A. No.¶

18 19 Q. Do you recall abusing alcohol and drugs at approximately the age of 13?¶

20 A. If you call smoking pot drugs, then I suppose so.¶

21 22 MR. PAGLIUCA: If we can direct the witness to 3505-035.¶

23 THE WITNESS: I was also on —¶

24 MR. PAGLIUCA: 47.¶

25 THE COURT: Pause. Go ahead. 4 MR. PAGLIUCA: Yes, your Honor.¶

5 THE COURT: Thank you.¶

7 MS. COMEY: No objection, your Honor.¶

8 THE COURT: All right. Go ahead.¶

9 BY MR. PAGLIUCA:¶

10 11 Q. You indicated that you began drinking at the age 13, do you see that?¶

12 A. I don’t.¶

13 14 THE COURT: Carolyn, could you please move into the mic.¶

15 A. I do not see that on the page that’s in front of me at all.¶

16 MR. PAGLIUCA: Okay. I will move on, your Honor.¶

17 18 Q. You agree you were smoking marijuana at the age of 13; correct?¶

19 A. Yeah.¶

20 21 MR. PAGLIUCA: I’d like to direct the witness to 3505-039, page 4, the lower right box.¶

22 THE WITNESS: Yeah.¶

23 24 25 Q. Do you recall that during the time frame 2002 through 2003, you were using benzodiazepines three to six times a week; correct?¶

THE WITNESS: I was also on my Xanax for anxiety.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: 3505-035, 47.¶

THE COURT: Lines please?¶

4 Q. This was an intake interview, do you recall that?¶

5 A. In 2005.¶

6 Q. Right. And if you turn to —¶

7 MR. PAGLIUCA: The witness can be shown 039, page 6.¶

8 Q. That’s your signature in October of 2005; correct?¶

9 10 A. Yes, but what does that have to do with the year 2002 and 2003?¶

11 12 Q. You were telling the intake person about your drug use; correct?¶

13 A. In 2005.¶

14 15 Q. And you were telling them about your history of drug use prior to 2005 in this intake; correct?¶

17 18 Q. No? If we look at the intake form, the paragraph that I showed you, do you recall telling¶

19 THE COURT: Can you turn to it and enlarge it.¶

20 MR. PAGLIUCA: Yes, your Honor.¶

21 Page 4 of the exhibit.¶

22 THE COURT: It’s too small to read.¶

23 A. Okay. What’s your question?¶

24 25 Q. Do you recall telling the intake interviewer that you were using benzodiazepines?¶

A. Sir, this document that you’re showing me was taken on 9/16/2005. So what does that have to do with the time frame you’re asking me?¶

A. That’s Xanax.¶

4 Q. Right.¶

5 A. That was my anxiety medication.¶

6 Q. You were using alcohol three to six times per week;¶

7 correct?¶

8 A. And I used it in 2005.¶

9 10 Q. Do you see that it says alcohol, three to six times a week, beginning —¶

11 MS. COMEY: Objection. Reading from a document —¶

12 THE COURT: Just a moment. Just a moment.¶

13 You could direct her to it and ask if that refreshes.¶

14 Q. Yes. I’m looking at where it says alcohol.¶

15 A. I see that.¶

16 17 18 Q. Okay. And you told them — well, does this refresh your memory that you told them that you were using alcohol three to six times per week beginning in 2000? Do you see that?¶

19 A. Yes, I do see that. But that’s incorrect.¶

20 21 Q. Okay. So this interviewer — well, you signed this form, didn’t you?¶

22 A. I did.¶

23 24 Q. It’s also true that you were doing cocaine in 2002 and 2003; correct?¶

25 A. Absolutely not. I haven’t done that. I didn’t use crack¶

Q. I understand. Three to six times per week, right?¶

A. Right. At the age of 13.¶

4 5 MR. PAGLIUCA: We can take down that document, your Honor.¶

6 THE COURT: It’s down.¶

7 8 MR. PAGLIUCA: If I can direct the witness to 3505-043, page 28, deposition page 105, lines 7 through 11.¶

9 THE COURT: Just a moment.¶

10 A. I’m sorry, what lines?¶

11 Q. It will be enlarged for you.¶

12 13 A. No, I see that. I’m asking what lines of the paper you would like me to look at.¶

14 Q. Sure. We’re looking at lines 7 through 11.¶

15 A. Yes, I see that.¶

16 Q. Again, this is testimony under oath in 2009; correct?¶

17 A. Right.¶

18 MS. COMEY: Objection, your Honor.¶

19 THE COURT: Sustained.¶

20 MR. PAGLIUCA: The basis of the objection, your Honor?¶

21 THE COURT: Not inconsistent.¶

22 23 Q. You also ingested something called angel trumpets when you were going to Mr. Epstein’s house, do you recall that?¶

24 25 A. That’s a flower. I don’t think you should ingest those at all.¶

until I was 18 years old.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: We can direct the witness to —¶

A. And it dates in 2005.¶

4 THE COURT: I will direct the witness to answer, because I don’t think we got a direct answer to the question.¶

5 THE WITNESS: I have never taken a hallucinogenic.¶

6 THE COURT: Okay. Go ahead.¶

7 MR. PAGLIUCA: 3505-035, page 139, line 10.¶

8 THE COURT: All right. Go ahead.¶

9 MS. COMEY: Your Honor, may I confer with counsel¶

10 THE COURT: You¶

11 II. COMEY: — please?¶

13 14 THE WITNESS: I have never seen this document in my life.¶

15 THE COURT: Just one second, Carolyn.¶

17 MR. PAGLIUCA: Thank you, your Honor.¶

18 19 THE COURT: Can you orient the witness as to what we’re looking at.¶

20 MR. PAGLIUCA: Page 138.¶

21 THE COURT: But just the date that this is from.¶

22 MR. PAGLIUCA: This is from 2009, your Honor.¶

23 24 THE COURT: Okay. Can you just show the first page, because she said she didn’t know what it was.¶

25 MR. PAGLIUCA: Sure. October 21st, 2009.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: If we can direct the witness to 3505-035, page 139. That’s the deposition page, I believe.¶

THE WITNESS: Rough draft. Who’s it from?¶

Q. The question is did you make that statement?¶

A. What statement?¶

Q. That you used angel trumpets¶

A. No, I don’t even see that as a question. It was asking about hallucinogenics.¶

Q. You know what an angel trumpet is; correct?¶

A. I do not. I don’t suggest anybody eats them.¶

Q. Your drug use continued in the 2001 through 2003 time frame; correct?¶

Q. Isn’t it true that you left the state of Florida in part because you were abusing cocaine, and you and your boyfriend wanted to go to Georgia so that you could detox?¶

A. That is not true. I went to Georgia to escape the traumatic events that were happening in my life.¶

Q. Well, and you went to Georgia and you were pregnant, right?¶

A. I got pregnant in Georgia.¶

Q. And you stayed there through 2003; correct?¶

Q. I want to ask you some questions about your testimony related to your claims about having sex with Mr. Epstein.¶

Do you remember testifying about that on direct¶

5 Q. And let me back up.¶

6 A. Yeah.¶

7 Q. Isn’t it true that you used cocaine while you were at¶

8 Mr. Epstein’s house?¶

9 A. No.¶

10 11 MR. PAGLIUCA: If I could direct the witness’s attention —¶

12 A. I saw the paper.¶

13 THE COURT: I will ask you to call it up.¶

14 15 MR. PAGLIUCA: I am, your Honor. I’m going to direct the witness’s attention to page 3505-043, 28, at page 105.¶

16 Let’s start at page 103.¶

17 Does the witness have page 103?¶

18 THE COURT: Yes.¶

19 MR. PAGLIUCA: Let’s go to line 10, start at line 11.¶

20 MS. COMEY: Objection, your Honor.¶

21 22 THE WITNESS: What does Mr. Epstein telling me not to take drugs have to do with the question?¶

A. When, earlier?¶

Q. Yes.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: It’s foundational for the next question.¶

4 5 THE COURT: Well, then let’s direct counsel and the Court to the lines, and then you can expand for foundation, if necessary.¶

6 MR. PAGLIUCA: Sure. Line 14:¶

7 Question: And how did Mr. Epstein —¶

8 9 10 11 THE COURT: No, no, no. You need to tell the government and me what lines to read. The government can indicate objection or no objection, and then I’ll rule, and then you can proceed or not proceed.¶

12 13 14 MR. PAGLIUCA: Sure. Page 103, line 14 through 25, continuing on to 104, through page — line 25, continuing on through 105, page — line 25.¶

15 THE COURT: I’m still on 103 here.¶

16 MR. PAGLIUCA: Excuse me?¶

17 THE COURT: It was just on 103 so far.¶

18 MR. PAGLIUCA: Okay.¶

21 22 THE WITNESS: I don’t understand what this has to do —¶

24 Can you repeat, I guess, the line. Okay.¶

25 MR. PAGLIUCA: And we do have paper copies, your¶

4 5 6 MR. PAGLIUCA: Well, I think we need to start at 14 and continue through that page, the next page, the next page, and the next page.¶

7 THE COURT: Ms. Comey.¶

8 9 MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I think the only potentially admissible portion of this might be on pages 105 through 106.¶

10 THE COURT: Thank you. Let’s go there.¶

11 That seems to get what you’re getting at.¶

12 13 MR. PAGLIUCA: Sure. I was just trying to give the context, your Honor. So that’s fine. I’ll go there.¶

15 16 17 Q. Looking at line 7 on page 105, does it refresh your memory that you answered the question: Yes, but I have done cocaine at Mr. Epstein’s house also?¶

18 19 20 MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I think we need the question and then its answer, and then it needs to continue through to page 106.¶

21 THE WITNESS: I need to know what line —¶

23 And what form of cocaine were you doing?¶

24 “A. Powder.¶

25 And did you tell anyone you were taking cocaine?¶

9 “A. No, he never told me to.”¶

10 A. He says he never told you to use drugs. You missed a word.¶

11 Q. Okay. And then the answer was:¶

12 “A. No, he never told me to.”¶

13 Correct?¶

14 A. That’s what it says.¶

15 16 Q. And those are the answers that you gave under oath in 2009; correct?¶

THE COURT: What lines?¶

4 A. “I just said that I’ve never had sexual intercourse with Mr. Epstein, and that I knew what sexual intercourse was and I said no. So for you to explain to me what it was, unnecessary.¶

THE COURT: Ms. Comey?¶

MS. COMEY: Same objection.¶

THE COURT: I’m going to overrule.¶

15 A. Ms. Maxwell was not the topic of discussion at that time.¶

16 Q. Is the answer to my question yes?¶

17 18 19 A. The only thing Ms. Maxwell was involved in was fondling and touching my breasts and my buttocks, and for that, my soul is broken and so is my heart.¶

19 20 THE COURT: All right. I’ll let the answer in as it is. Next question.¶

21 BY MS. COMEY:¶

22 23 Q. Carolyn, what have you been told by the government to do here today?¶

24 A. Just tell the truth.¶

25 MS. COMEY: No further questions.¶

A. No. Money will not ever fix what that woman has done to me.¶

Q. Carolyn, why are you here today?¶

4 5 Q. The $446,000 that you received in 2009, that was gone by 2012; correct?¶

6 A. I don’t know, sir. I have children that I take care of.¶

7 Q. The $446,000 was gone by 2012; correct?¶

8 MS. COMEY: Beyond the scope, your Honor.¶

9 THE COURT: Overruled.¶

10 A. I do not recall the dates.¶

11 Q. You don’t recall when you ran out of $446,000?¶

12 A. I bought a house, a car, food. I don’t recall.¶

13 Q. And you lost all of it; correct?¶

14 A. Absolutely not.¶

15 MR. PAGLIUCA: No further questions, your Honor.¶

16 MS. COMEY: Nothing, your Honor.¶

17 18 THE COURT: All right. Carolyn, you may step down, you are excused. Thank you.¶

19 THE WITNESS: Thank you.¶

20 (Witness excused)¶

21 22 THE COURT: Members of the jury, we’re about two minutes over. Thank you for your attention and diligence.¶

23 We’ll resume same time tomorrow. Thank you so much.¶

THE COURT: Mr. Pagliuca.¶

RECROSS EXAMINATION¶

4 5 6 7 8 9 10 MR. ROHRBACH: Your Honor, the government has an update on its factual development with regard to the witness, Brian. The government is not going to be able to complete a factual investigation by 6 o’clock. Specifically, Jane’s counsel is not available, so the government won’t be able to talk with Jane as part of this. The government will just elect not to call Brian as a witness. We’ll of course produce the materials we have gathered to the defense tonight.¶

11 12 13 14 And I would just like to make a record that the government does not believe that any rule or order of the Court has been violated and the government’s decision should not be understood in that light.¶

15 THE COURT: Anything, Ms. Menninger?¶

16 MS. MENNINGER: No, your Honor.¶

17 THE COURT: Any other matters to take up?¶

18 19 20 MR. EVERDELL: Your Honor, just if we could get a bit of the preview of the witness order since I think things have shuffled a bit in light of developments today.¶

21 22 THE COURT: Can you give defense counsel a new witness list?¶

23 MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor, we can that this evening.¶

24 25 THE COURT: I’ll note, the Court did receive a request for a docketing of the witness list. The government submitted¶

THE COURT: You my be seated. Matters to take up.¶

that with a request to file it under seal on the theory that it’s not a judicial document, as I’m not doing anything with it, and even if it is a judicial document, it contains the names, it’s identifying as to individuals who are testifying under pseudonym and individuals who haven’t testified yet. For that reason, I’ll permit it to be maintained under seal if you do share it with the Court.¶

With respect to scheduling — I’m sorry, may I have just one moment?¶

MS. MOE: Your Honor, with respect to scheduling, we did want to update the Court and counsel that we do anticipate that, given the current pace of scheduling, we will rest this week. So we want to let the Court know that, for scheduling purposes, giving the timing of the trial, that’s our current update and estimate.¶

THE COURT: That’s helpful. I wanted to talk about the timing of the charging conference.¶

THE COURT: Let me just pull up my calendar.¶

Let me ask defense counsel, in light of that and in light of the fact that I’m, due to a scheduling conflict, not sitting 13th, 14th, 15th — let me run this as an option. I have inquired whether we can hold the charging conference on¶

4 5 6 7 Saturday the 18th. It is possible to have Ms. Maxwell present and to make public access available on that weekend date. So you can consider if you’d like to do that or not, given where we are in the schedule. I’ll leave it to counsel to consider it and confer. Alternatively, I suppose we could talk about the charging conference on the 16th after we finish with the jury. Any thoughts?¶

8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 MS. MOE: Your Honor, the government has no preference between those two dates and would be available for a December 18th conference. I think the timing would just depend on the length and pace of the defense case. For example, if the defense case were to begin on Friday, depending on how long that defense case were to last, it may be that we might need to have that conference earlier, but we don’t have a sense of the length of the defense case, and so it’s hard for us to gauge the timing.¶

17 MR. EVERDELL: May we confer, your Honor?¶

18 19 20 THE COURT: You may. Let me ask, does the government anticipate — I know it’s a little hard to predict, but do you predict resting potentially by Thursday¶

21 22 23 II. MOE: Yes, your Honor. It just depends on the length of cross of the remaining witnesses, but I think it is possible we will be resting on Thursday.¶

24 THE COURT: Okay.¶

25 MS. MOE: Thursday of this week.¶

4 5 6 MR. EVERDELL: Your Honor, I think maybe if we have the opportunity to confer with the government, we can report tomorrow on the options.¶

7 8 9 10 11 THE COURT: That’s fine. I wanted to make that available so that we’re not — so we have time for it that isn’t intruding into the time of the jury next week. So I think in light of what you’re indicating, my thinking would be either the evening of the 16th or 17th, or Saturday the 18th.¶

12 13 14 15 Again, I have inquired and there is no issue, Ms. Maxwell can be here and we can have public access both in the courtroom and overflow room. So you’ll confer and let me know your thinking as to timing.¶

16 MS. MOE: Thank you, your Honor.¶

17 THE COURT: Other matters to take up?¶

18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, on that point, I would like to point out that we do have a younger sibling of Jane under our subpoena and I would ask, because we don’t have communications with that witness, that when there are communications with Jane and her attorney, that she be directed not to communicate about her testimony with that witness in light of issues that I think are apparent that I can certainly make a record if need be.¶

MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, we do have witnesses, so we’re going to have to sort through some logistics ourselves.¶

THE COURT: I understand that.¶

MS. MOE: Your Honor, I have no issue with reaching out to Jane’s attorney to remind him, again, about that issue. Happy to do that this evening.¶

With respect to outstanding defense subpoenas, since we’re talking about this issue, my understanding at this juncture is, because the witness identified as Matt has now testified, the witness identified as Brian is no longer testifying, that there will be no additional prior consistent statements with respect to Jane. We want to confirm that the defense is not seeking to recall Jane regarding any prior consistent statements so that she can be released for recall.¶

MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, we would like to just think about it tonight and can certainly let the Court know tomorrow.¶

THE COURT: I’ll ask you to confer and if it’s an issue, raise it in the morning. Thank you for raising it, Ms. Moe.¶

you. MS. MOE: Not from the government, your Honor. Thank¶

MS. MOE: Thank you.¶

THE COURT: Any other matters?¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: I just needed to make a record on the objections. I can do that tomorrow if the Court wants me to,¶

4 5 6 7 8 9 MR. PAGLIUCA: So this is on the privilege objection, your Honor. The statement did not call for a communication. This was a request about materials shown to the witness in anticipation meeting with the government. Those are not privileged communications given that, whatever it is, is intended to be communicated to a third party, number 1, and number 2 —¶

10 11 12 13 14 THE COURT: Well, I don’t think you’ve made a record that any — you asked generally about any materials shown to her. I don’t think you’ve made a record that any materials shown to her were in anticipation of being — how did you phrase it? Discussed with the government in the meeting?¶

15 16 MR. PAGLIUCA: Well, the Court sustained the objection and ordered me to move on, your Honor.¶

17 THE COURT: I understand. I’m just¶

18 19 MR. PAGLIUCA: There was no opportunity to further that.¶

20 21 22 23 24 THE COURT: Right. To be clear, I think the question was whether she was shown materials by her attorney, privilege objection sustained. There may have been other questions, I suppose that would have been different than that, but I sustained with respect to that question.¶

25 MR. PAGLIUCA: So, I’m not arguing with your Honor.¶

if the Court wants to leave. It’s very brief.¶

THE COURT: Go ahead.¶

4 5 I’m just completing out the record here, which is the question does not call for a privilege communication. It’s a yes-or-no answer. Yes, I was shown materials. I don’t believe that that’s privileged because there is no communication required, number 1.¶

6 7 8 Number 2, in the event those materials are shown to the government in a meeting, they lose any putative privilege that they may have.¶

9 10 11 12 Number 3, to the extent that they’re intended to be communicated to a third party, they are not privileged to begin with, even if they’re not shown to the third party. I believe that’s the status of the law and that’s my record. Thank you.¶

13 14 15 THE COURT: Again, you might have been able to get there, but the question that you asked, I sustained on privilege.¶

16 Next, anything?¶

17 18 you. MS. MOE: Not from the government, your Honor. Thank¶

19 MR. EVERDELL: No, your Honor.¶

20 21 THE COURT: Was there another issue you wanted to make a record on, Mr. Pagliuca?¶

22 MR. PAGLIUCA: I don’t think¶

23 24 THE COURT: If it occurs to you, you can make it in the morning.¶

25 MR. PAGLIUCA: Thank you, your Honor.¶

THE COURT: I do just want to, in an admonishment, because this has gotten a little out of hand. Objection, one-word grounds. Cite a rule of evidence if a rule of evidence is available. If it’s not, then you probably don’t have a basis for your objection. But if a rule number can’t be used, one-word basis for grounds. No more communicating to the witnesses or the jury via objections. Understood?¶

MS. COMEY: Yes, your Honor.¶

MR. PAGLIUCA: Yes, your Honor.¶

THE COURT: Thank you. Have a goodnight, everyone. I’ll see you — sorry. Sorry.¶

So we don’t need any of the briefing related to the witness. So I think I’m not expecting anything tonight; is that true? It’s like saying, II, look, no traffic, but —¶

MS. MOE: Nothing anticipated from the government, your Honor.¶

MS. MENNINGER: Nor from us.¶

THE COURT: I thank everyone. Goodnight.¶
