1. Have you ever met a young girl, under the age of 18, in the presence of Jeffrey Epstein or on one of Jeffrey Epstein’s properties?

2. How many times have you visited Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion in West Palm Beach, Florida?

3. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida reached a non-prosecution agreement with Jeffrey Epstein, in which he agreed to make civil restitution for sexual abuse committed against 40 girls at the mansion. Do you have any reason to doubt that that Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused 40 underaged girls.

4. Didn’t Jeffrey Epstein tell you that he repeatedly had sex with these underage girls?

5. Jeffrey Epstein is a now a registered sex offender. Do you have any reason to doubt that this registration is appropriate?

6. Have you ever met Ghislaine Maxwell in the presence of Jeffrey Epstein or at one of his properties?

7. Did you send correspondence to the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. (or elsewhere) attacking the credibility of these 40 girls?

8. According to testimony in court cases, when Jeffrey Epstein was at his mansion in West Palm Beach, Florida, he would receive almost daily “massages” that were in fact sexual encounters with these underage girls. Do you have any reason to doubt this testimony? 1 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015588

9. The U.S. Attorney’s Office gave Epstein a non-prosecution agreement that extended immunity from federal prosecution not only to Epstein but also “any potential co-conspirator”. Isn’t it normal practice for federal prosecutors only to extend immunity to specifically named persons, not an open-ended group of “any” co-conspirator.

10. How did you travel to Epstein’s mansion in West Palm Beach?

11. How many times have you been to Epstein’s private ranch, called “Zorro”, in New Mexico?

12. How many times have you been to Epstein’s private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, known as Little St. John’s.

13. Did you ever see young girls present at Little St. John’s?

14. If we talk about the time frame of 1998 to 2001, how many times a year were you making telephone calls to Epstein?

15. How many times have you flown on Epstein’s private plane?

16. Did you ever see young girls, potentially under the age of 18, on Epstein’s private plane? HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015589
