Nothing from the government, your Honor.
5MR. EVERDELL:
Nothing, your Honor, but note we have

16I think the only thing I wanted to raise is that,
17assuming the timing works out, I would like to speak with the
18juror who had the trip planned, with the court reporter
19present, of course, to see if there is additional information
20about the ability to change that plan to make sure it's not
21weighing on my mind.
Without objection to that?

SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300

(In open court)

THE COURT: I spoke to the juror with the travel plans and the information is that dates can't be changed and they can't cancel and it would be of some significant hardship. The juror is, I think, more concerned about the spouse's reaction. At one point, they did say, "If I have to proceed, I can. I understand." On the other hand, they mentioned some level of distraction and concern.

9

So, I'll hear your suggestion.

MR. PAGLIUCA: Your Honor, I understood that the Court was going to -- there were two options the Court was considering. One was seeing if the juror could change plans, and if that didn't work, the Court was considering breaking for the juror's anticipated vacation. That's what I understood the Court to say.

If the juror can't change the plans, our preference would be, not frankly that we want to delay the trial, but my preference would be to keep the juror and accommodate the juror's travel plans, your Honor.

MS. COMEY: Your Honor, the government's preference would be to keep the trial moving, keep the trial days as scheduled, and excuse the juror if those days become necessary for this case.

24 25 THE COURT: Just to be clear about what we're talking about. So given the holiday, we're not going to sit the 23rd

or the 24th, and it's the weekend, Christmas weekend, 25th, 26th. The juror would be gone the 27th, 28th, would not make sense to return for one day of that week. So, really, it would be a 10-day break in the trial. I don't think that makes sense, Mr. Pagliuca. I know I mentioned that, but I'm not sure I had that fully in mind at the time, and that's practically what we would be talking about.

MR. PAGLIUCA: I appreciate that, your Honor. Again, I frankly don't want to delay this trial. The intention here is, first, I don't know which juror this is, and that would make a difference in my analysis here, frankly.

THE COURT: I mean, to be candid, that's why I'm not telling you, because -- I'm not telling either side because 1 think under the veil of ignorance is a better place for everybody to be.

17 19 20 22 23 MR. PAGLIUCA: Let me be more specific, your Honor. I'm not asking to know the specific juror, but what would make a large difference to me is whether this person is in the alternate pool versus the main pool of jurors. I would have less of a problem excusing the juror if the juror was in the alternate pool as opposed to the main pool. And the reason 1 say that is we carefully exercised peremptory challenges in this case, both to the main pool and the alternate pool. Had we understood that if this juror's plans couldn't be changed, we would have made a different choice while the entire venire

was still available and we would have gone with the choice of seating the one juror, the number I don't remember off the top of my head, but the one juror who had dropped off of the alternate pool as opposed to doing something else. That would have been the choice we would have made at that point.

THE COURT: But you actually had that option with this information available to you yesterday. The government supported that move of having seven alternates and you declined that option. So even with the information that we might face this issue, you chose not to go that route.

MR. PAGLIUCA: But, your Honor, my view, that's because we understood that the Court was not going to excuse the juror. That was my clear understanding. The transcript says whatever it says.

THE COURT: Fair enough. It was not with a 10-day pause in the trial in mind, and I suppose the new information is the juror telling me that there is some level of distraction as a result of this concern, which was not what was indicated yesterday when the discussion was that they would make every effort to try to move it. Having apparently now made that effort, they can't move it.

22 23 MR. PAGLIUCA: I understand, your Honor. I think my position is clear and the Court will do as the Court sees fit.

24 25 THE COURT: I don't want to do a 10-day break in the middle of the trial. That doesn't make sense. I think,

I'm wishing we had kept that additional juror. I think I have to excuse the juror. I'll have a discussion in which I just say one more time, is there anything else to explore regarding cancellation or moving it, and if the answer to that is no, I think I will excuse the juror. I'll step down. (Continued on next page) (Pages 134 to 136 SEALED)

firehouse with a fire engine, and that also had several garages for all the maintenance for the ranch. And then to the right of that, there was a greenhouse for growing vegetables, et cetera.

And then across the street from the greenhouse, there was a stable with a stable area that housed -- it had to have been 10 to 15 horses. That was the ranch central area.

8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 And then you continued through Ranch Central and continued up a dirt road approximately, I don't know, it had to have been two or three miles and you got to a Y in the road where if you went to the left -- I'll take you to the left first. Once you got to the Y in the road, you took a left and actually you're going to pass by, during that drive, a runway we had on the property, which, as you saw, the twin-engine Cessna was parked on. So we had a runway and a hangar to house the aircraft. So you pass the runway and you continued up the road to -- it was called the lodge. It was actually the first home site that was selected to build the main house, and that was a triple-wide trailer that also had a western faux facade built around it. Once you went past the triple-wide lodge, you went about, you know, maybe a thousand yards and there was a log cabin that was built up on the cliff, because both the lodge and the log cabin were on cliffs that overlooked the ravine to the north.

And we go back to the Y in the road that brought you

Inside that room had a tremendous stereo system that I installed. And then came out of that living room and you continued down the hallway.

You came out of that room and that led you -- now you're on the -- you're still walking down circling the house. That brought you into what was the dining room for the house.

But I
11would estimate probably late '90s, maybe 2000 is when the house
12got finished.
13And so in the mid to late '90s, when you visited the ranch,
Q.
14where did Mr. Epstein stay?
15He would stay up at the lodge or the triple-wide mobile
A.
16home I described.
17Could you describe what the interior of that triple-wide
Q.
18lodge looked like.
19A.
Sure.
As I mentioned, it was a triple-wide trailer that
20had a wood western facade built around it to make it a little
21more attractive than just a mobile home.
Once you went in the
22front door, there was a large wooden deck in the front of the
23house like you would see in a western movie.
And you went in
24the front door, you walked into the living room which had a
25fireplace to the left.

And then if you continued past the living room and
made your left turn to the left side of the home, that was the
And then you came back into the living room
master bedroom.
4you continued straight ahead from the entrance door, that
5brought you into a kitchen that led to a large outside deck
6that overlooked the ravine.
And then you came back into the
7kitchen, and to the right side of the house there were -- there
8was a small -- or a family room to the right side and also
9there was two guest bedrooms there.
10Did the inside of this structure look like a trailer?
Q.
11Not the way it was decorated.
A.
It was very high-end.
12What airport did you fly to when Mr. Epstein was staying on
Q.
13this ranch?
14A.
Typically, depending upon what aircraft he selected, if we
15were flying the Gulfstream, which is a smaller, lighter
16And if we
aircraft, we would use Santa Fe, New Mexico Airport.
17were flying the Boeing, which is a large airliner, we would fly
18into Albuquerque due to weight restrictions.
19Q.
I'd like to turn now to Mr. Epstein's Paris property.
20About when do you remember first visiting
21Mr. Epstein's apartment in Paris?
22It had to have been maybe the late '90s, Ms. Comey.
A.
I
23couldn't really narrow it down, but it had to have been in the
24'90s, I would -- yes.
25About how many times did you visit that apartment while

working for Mr. Epstein?
A.
Not as much as the other properties.
On occasion I would
go to pick up luggage and drop off luggage at that place.
But
4I would almost say every trip, but we didn't go to Paris that
5often, so I'll even go as far as saying most every trip.
6Other than to pick up luggage, did you go to that apartment
Q.
7for any other reason?
8A.
Yeah.
I also did some audio work on the home theater that
9he had in the Paris apartment as well.

----------------------

Ms. Drescher, would you please show that to the jury. Q. And while that's up, Mr. would you please describe what the inside of this apartment looked like.

A. I believe it was on the second or third floor, we're going back a little ways. But it was -- once you went in the front door, it was a little on the unique side. It was a very long type of apartment. Once you went in the front door, there was an entrance foyer. And if you continued straight through that foyer, it would take you into the kitchen. And then to the left of the kitchen, I think, led down to a hallway with some guest bedrooms.

Once you came back to the kitchen, to the right there was a dining room. And then to the right of the dining room there was Mr. Epstein's office where he had a home theater set up in his office as well. And then once you came out back into the foyer, I believe if you went to the right, it took you to either more guest bedrooms, and definitely the master bedroom was down the hallway.

Q. When Mr. Epstein stayed at this apartment, what airport did you fly out of?

A. We flew into Paris-LeBourget.

22 23 Q. Turning now to Mr. Epstein's island, about when did you first visit that island?

A. It was approximately mid to late -- late '90s.

10And why did you go to the island each time Mr. Epstein went
Q.
11to the Virgin Islands?
12A.
I also flew the helicopter.
So when Mr. Epstein would
13arrive at St. Thomas main airport, I would go get the
14helicopter and then pick him up and the passengers and fly them
15to Little St. James Island, as well as, you know, taking
16luggage and also picking up luggage at the island.
And also a
17very large home theater was installed at that residence as
18well.
19Did you install large home theaters in all of Mr. Epstein's

20description of the island and the property on it.
21I guess I'll start at the top of the photo.
A.
Okay.
There
22was a building there that was a library.
It used to have a
23gold dome on it, but that was actually a library inside that
24building.
And then we come down to the right side of the
25photo, you could see a small pool on the right side of the

LBUVMAX2 - direct

photo which was -- which they call the flag -- or the flagpole pool, which was a tremendous-size pool which also had a cabana built. And that was another office that Mr. Epstein spent a lot of his time working on the phone and computers.

And then we're coming down through the beach area. Right dead center of the island you'll see a little blue roof, that was the gym. And inside the gym had a tremendous audio system for working out. There was a large gym inside there. And then you come down further from -- further down -- or you're heading down back to the main house structure, to the left you see a wide open grass area, that was the helipad that if we -- if you arrived by helicopter.

Coming further down from that, there are several buildings to the left, you see a blue one, a white one. That housed all of the construction equipment, tractors, dump trucks and such, support equipment for the island. And then we're going to come down further from that to the right. We'll come all the way down to the main house structure which also has a large swimming pool.

The house was quite unique. It was pretty much a home that was exploded out, that each building was a room of a house; that guest bedrooms were their own bunaglows. So the kitchen was its own building, the living room was its own building, the master bedroom was its own building. So in order to walk from one to another, you actually walked outside. So

7Thank you, Ms. Drescher.
8Q.
Mr.
, what, if any, of Ms. Maxwell's residences did
9you visit during your employment?
10I think I've been to all of her residence.
A.
11Could you walk us through each of them chronologically,
Q.
12starting with the first, please.
13A.
Yes.
The first time I met Ms. Maxwell, she was in a
14smaller apartment.
We're going back 30 years, so I don't
15really remember the streets.
16But then the second apartment I remember a little
17more, a little more
obviously better, which I believe was on
1884th Street, which was a nice three-bedroom apartment.
And she
19was there for several years.
I did set up a home theater in
20that apartment as well.
21And then eventually she purchased a brownstone
22townhouse, I believe, which was on 65th Street.
23About when do you remember Ms. Maxwell moving from the
Q.
24smaller apartment to the apartment around 84th Street?
25I don't really have a good,
Had to have been the mid '90s.

accurate estimation on that.
And about when do you remember her moving into the
Q.
brownstone townhouse you mentioned?
4A.
I'd only be guessing if I said the 2000s, but I don't have
5an exact era.
It had to have been in the 2000s, I believe.
6Q.
In what borough were all three of those residences?
7They were in Manhattan.
A.
8Why did you go to those residences?
Q.
9It was -- it was still luggage; we would actually go there
A.
10to pick up luggage for the flights.
I would actually go there
11And then also at
sometimes to get an expense report signed.
12the brownstone I did -- she had the sixth floor up there that
13had a home theater that I installed with a flat screen TV, so I
14would occasionally go there and support, you know, help tune
15and adjust that.

And then once you got to the top, which, if memory serves me correctly, might have been the fifth floor where we installed a home theater for her. Q. Switching gears. Between 1991 and 2004, what planes did you fly for Mr. Epstein? A. From '91 to 2004? Q. Yes. A. The first aircraft was a Hawker Siddeley, what's called an HS125. Mr. Epstein purchased that. He had that aircraft from '91 till 1994. And then in 1994, he sold that aircraft and he purchased a Gulfstream, which is called the G2B. And he had the Gulfstream from 1994 up until 2000, when he added another aircraft, is when he bought the Boeing 727. And he continued to keep both of those aircraft. So we flew both aircraft, the Boeing and the Gulfstream, up until 2004, to the date you mentioned. MS. COMEY: Ms. Drescher, would you please pull up Government Exhibits 311 and 312 for the witness, the Court, and the parties. Q. Mr. , do you recognize these? A. Yes. Q. What are they? A.

4 5 6 7 8 obviously if you make a left turn, that would bring you into the cockpit. You made a right turn, brought you into the passenger compartment. And as soon as you got into the passenger compartment, there were four large captain's chairs. They were baseball glove leather in color. This aircraft had a burgundy carpet. Once you get past the four chairs, you're continuing walking to the rear of the aircraft. There was a conference table to the right that had two chairs as well.

9 10 12 13 15 And then further aft, as you continue walking to the back of the aircraft, there was a couch or a divan inside there.

describe what the inside of this plane looked like. A. Sure. The best way to describe it, it was kind of like a recreational vehicle inside; it wasn't like a typical airliner would look.

You went in the front entrance door which is located at the forward part of the aircraft. You walked upstairs. And if you continued straight ahead, it went into the first bathroom, which we considered the crew bathroom; so there was a lavatory up in front. And then if you made a left turn, brought you into the cockpit.

Now we're still at the entrance and now we're going to walk to the back of the airplane. You went through -- as soon as you got to the first compartment, there was like a large living room that had one, two, three -- it had three couches or divans. And then it had several captain chairs inside there.

Once you went from that first compartment, you're continuing walking to the back of the aircraft, in the middle there was a galley or kitchen like you would find in a home. It was a full decked-out kitchen.

And then once you went further past the kitchen, there was what we call the round room. There was a couch or a divan in the middle of the aircraft that was actually round or circular. And once you went past that, there was what we called the red room, which had Mr. Epstein's office that also had a red couch or divan and his office desk.

14couch or divan inside it.
And then further in the photo you
15could see the red couch which was his office.
And further
16after that led into the bedroom.
17Is this a fair and accurate depiction of a portion of the
Q.

Yes, it is.

4 5 6 7 8 Q. While Ms. Drescher puts that up, will you please describe once again what we see in this photograph, Mr. A. That's the middle of the aircraft or where actually the emergency exits are located. When you say describe it -- Q. What we're seeing in the foreground and the background, the jurors weren't able to see the photograph when you were describing it.

A. Oh, I'm sorry. Gotcha. I thought I just explained it. I'm going to repeat myself.

10 11 12 13 14 15 16 So this is the round couch, round divan that was in the middle of the aircraft. And then as you see in the photo, the red couch or divan, which was Mr. Epstein's office and which -- to the right side of that, which is not in the photo, there was a large desk. And then in the foreground, way in the back are the two captain's chairs that are actually across from the master bed in the back of the aircraft.

Q. What, if any, barrier was there between the pilots and the passengers on the Boeing 727?

21 22 23 A. On the Boeing, each compartment had its own doors, so you can seclude each compartment or even the cockpit from the passengers.

24 25 Q. During flight in the Boeing 727, was the cockpit door opened or closed?

LBUVMAX2
A.
It was always closed.
So were you able to observe the passengers on the flights
Q.
you piloted on that plane?
4A.
No.
5What records did you keep as a pilot for Mr. Epstein?
Q.
6We kept two documents, one was a flight log and the other
A.
7was a passenger manifest.
8Q.
And when you say "we," who do you mean?
9I meant myself and the other pilot.
A.
10Q.
And who was that?
11A.
David Rogers.
12You mentioned a flight log and a passenger manifest.
Q.
Did
13you complete one for each flight you piloted for Mr. Epstein?
14A.
Yes, I did.
15What is contained in a flight log?
Q.
16A flight log is a document that is pretty much married to
A.
17the aircraft; it's the history of how many hours the aircraft
18has on it, how many times the aircraft has landed, each engine
19has its own total time that's recorded, as well as how many
20times it was cycled, meaning turned on or off.
21Q.
Will that flight log have any information about the
22passengers onboard for a particular flight?
23A.
No, it will not.
24How about the passenger manifest, what information goes
Q.
25into a passenger manifest?
A.
A passenger manifest is a document that we recorded what
time we actually took off and landed.
It had the date of the
flight, it had the exact time of departure and arrival, and it
4also had a column for the name of the passengers that were on
5the aircraft.
6Who completed the passenger manifest for each flight that
Q.
7was piloted for Mr. Epstein?
8A.
Whoever was captain on the aircraft that day would complete
9that form.
10What does it mean to be captain?
Q.
11To be captain would be to fly in the left seat and be in
A.
12total control of the aircraft.
13Q.
How long after each flight did the captain complete the
14passenger manifest?
15It was done immediately after the aircraft, within an hour.
A.
16Between approximately 1994 and 2004, what did you do with
Q.
17the passenger manifests that you personally completed?
18After about 30 days, I would take
A.
They would acquire them.
19them to the main office in New York and then drop them off.
20Q.
Did you keep a copy for yourself?
21A.
No, I did not.
22If you did not know the name of a particular passenger on a
Q.
23flight, how will you indicate the presence of that passenger in
24a passenger manifest?
25I tried to be as accurate as I could.
If I didn't know a

4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 passenger name, I wanted to put whether they were male or female, the passenger -- as a pilot's standpoint, it's more important how many people and how much they weigh compared to a person's name. We tried to be as accurate as we could. So if I didn't know a name, I put whether they were male or female. Q. And remind us why you wouldn't necessarily know the name of everyone on your plane? A. It wasn't my first priority. Most of the time Mr. Epstein would, you know, indicate or introduce us to the passengers, but it just wasn't -- it wasn't the first thing, you know, on anybody's mind. Occasionally he would introduce and sometimes he wouldn't. We would try to gather their name if we asked them, if we had the time to ask them. But we tried to do the best we could is to get everybody's name. Q. During your employment with Mr. Epstein, did you ever fly to the airport in Traverse City, Michigan? A. Yes, I did. Q. About what years do you remember making those trips to Michigan? A. Definitely in the '90s is the best I could come up with. It was in the '90s. Q. During what season do you remember taking those trips to Michigan? A. I don't remember it being cold, because I know it gets pretty cold up there. It had to have been summer or, you know,

SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300

LBUVMAX2
maybe close to fall when cherry season was happening because _
think that's the cherry capital.
When traveling to Traverse City, Michigan, where, if
Q.
4anywhere, do you remember picking up Mr. Epstein's luggage?
5I can only recall one time that Mr. Epstein had called or
A.
6somebody notified me to pick up the luggage in the lobby of the
7Interlochen School of Music.
8Q.
About when was that?
9A.
I don't have an accurate date.
I could only say the '90s.
10And what is Interlochen?
Q.
11A.
I believe it's a school for gifted children that are
12talented musicians, singers, etc., world-renowned type of
13school.
14Q.
How many, if any, female passengers who flew on
15Mr. Epstein's plane do you remember who were singers?
16I can recall one.
A.

19Good morning Mr.
Q.
20Good morning, Mr. Everdell.
A.
21I'm going to ask you a few questions about what you just
Q.
22testified to on direct.
23A.
Okay.
24Now, you testified that you started working as a pilot for
Q.
25Jeffrey Epstein in about 1991; is that right?
SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.
183
- cross
LBUVMAX2
A.
That is correct.
And you were hired, along with your friend
Q.
that right?
4A.
That's correct.
5Q.
Now, when you started in 1991,
was the chief
6pilot and you were the co-captain?
7A.
That is correct.
8Q.
But that changed, I think, in about 2000; is that right?
9A.
That is correct, approximately.
10At that point you became the chief pilot and
Q.
11became the co-captain?
12A.
That's correct.
13And you continued to work for Epstein as his chief pilot
Q.
14until about 2019?
15A.
Correct.
16So you were a pilot for Jeffrey Epstein for almost 30 years
Q.
17from 1991 to 2019; is that right?
18A.
That is correct.
19Q.
And in that time, I think you testified that you flew
20several different planes for him; is that right?

That is correct.

6That's the Hawker Siddeley jet, right?
We saw that before.
Q.
7A.
Correct.
8And that was used from about '91 -- 1991 to 1994; is that
Q.
9right?

We can take that down.
12So you no longer flew the Hawker after about '94?

No, the aircraft was sold after '94.

15Gulfstream, the G2B, right?

17You occasionally flew other planes for him as well?
Q.
18A.
Yes.
19I think we saw in one of the photos, I won't call it up,
Q.
20but there was a small Cessna?
21A.
Yes.
22But from about 1994, after Mr. Epstein sold the Hawker,
Q.
23till about 2001 or 2000, I think is your recollection, when he
24bought the Boeing, you flew primarily the Gulfstream?
25That is correct.
A.
186
- cross
LBUVMAX2
And from 2000 onwards or till 2004 or five, you were flying
Q.
both the Gulfstream and the Boeing?
A.
That's correct.
4Now, in the period from 1991, when you were first hired, to
Q.
52005, you flew numerous flights for Epstein?
6A.
Correct.
7Would it be accurate to say that you flew over 1,000
Q.
8flights during that time period?
9I'd have to look at my records, but it was probably close
A.
10to that, yes.
11Q.
Give or take?

Give or take, yes.
13That's a lot of flights.
Q.
14A.
We consider it more in hours than flights, but
15Q.
Understood.
16And Epstein would frequently have other passengers on
17these flights, right?
18A.
Yes.
19Q.
And many of these passengers were female; correct?
20A.
Correct.
21Q.
And sometimes you saw the passengers, right?
22A.
Yes.
23Q.
There were times when you, I think, stood at the entrance
24of the plane near the cockpit when the passengers arrived and
25you might have greeted them?
187
- cross
LBUVMAX2
A.
Sometimes.
Q.
There were times when Epstein or Ghislaine introduced you
to passengers?
4A.
Correct.
5Q.
There were times when the plane and the passengers had to
6clear customs, right, and the pilots and the passengers would
7have to get out of the plane and clear customs to do that?
8A.
Yes, that's correct.
9Q.
And you'd see the passengers then too?
10A.
Sure.
11Q.
Okay.
And there were times when the passengers came up to
12the cockpit before takeoff and you might have met some of them
13then?
14Occasionally that would happen, sure.
A.
15Q.
Okay.
Now, you testified that the cockpit doors for the
16Gulfstream and the Boeing were always closed during the flights
17while you were in the air; is that right?
18A.
Yes.
19But you left the door open to the cockpit as you were
Q.
20getting the plane ready for takeoff before you took off, right?
21A.
Yes.
22As you were in the cockpit, if you were looking back
Q.
23through the cockpit door, you could see the passengers in the
24entranceway if you wanted to, right?
25Most of them, yes.
A.
It wasn't a clear view to every seat in

the aircraft, but, yeah, I could see the passengers.
Q.
There were several ways that you could have observed and
did observe the passengers that came onto his planes?
4Yeah, if I looked over my shoulder; correct, yes.
A.
5Q.
Or those other ways we discussed?
6At the entrance, yes.
A.
7Now, of the female passengers on these planes that you
Q.
8observed, you occasionally saw young girls who were traveling
9with their family members, isn't that right?
10A.
There was some time when adults would bring their children
11onboard, sure.
12But you never saw a female you thought was under the age of
Q.
1318 who was not with her family, right?
14A.
Correct.
No.
15Q.
And apart from those times when you saw young girls
16traveling with their family members, you never saw any female
17on the plane who looked to you to be under the age of 20, isn't
18that right?
19A.
Well, that's correct, yeah, I didn't notice anybody of a
20younger nature without an adult or, you know, a parent.

Q.
She was a woman?
A.
Yes.
4Mr.
Q.
, in all these flights that you flew, the
5several hundred to a thousand flights that you piloted for
6Mr. Epstein in this time period, you also never saw any kind of
7sexual activity occur on the planes; isn't that right?
8A.
I never saw any sexual activity, no.
9Q.
And you certainly never saw anyone engaging in sex acts
10with underage girls on the plane?
11A.
Absolutely not.
12In fact, you never saw anyone engaging in sex acts with any
Q.
13of the women on the flights period; right?
14A.
That is correct.
15Q.
Now, you testified, I think we already established this,
16that when you were flying, in flight, the cockpit doors were
17closed?
18A.
That is correct.
19So if the cockpit doors were closed, you couldn't
Q.
20necessarily see what was going on in the cabin during the
21flights; right?
22A.
Not at all, no.
23But you were never instructed by Epstein or anyone else
Q.
24that you were not allowed to leave the cockpits during the
25flights; is that correct?

A.
That's correct.
Mr. Epstein invited us, that if we had to
go to the bathroom, that we were welcome to walk to the back of
the aircraft.
4So he invited you to come anywhere you wanted to, even

5including in the back of the aircraft to use the restroom if

19To do that, you had to

One last question before we break.

9BY MR. EVERDELL:
10Q.
Welcome back, Mr.
11A.
Thank you.
12Q.
Trust you're feeling more comfortable?
13Oh, much better.
A.
14Do you recall when we left off, we were talking
Q.
Very good.
15about going to the restroom on the airplanes?
16A.
Yes.
17Q.
And I think you said that you were allowed, you were
18permitted and even invited to walk through the Gulf Stream to
19the back of the plane to use the restroom there if you needed
20to?
21A.
That's correct.
22So Mr. Epstein never told you, for example, you have to
Q.
23stay in the cockpit during the flight?
24A.
Absolutely not.
25Q.
Now if he were engaging in sex acts with underage girls in
196
- cross
LBUCmax3
the plane and he didn't want you to see that, he probably would
have said something to you about that, wouldn't he?
MS. COMEY:
Objection, your Honor.
4THE COURT:
Overruled.
You may answer.
5A.
Can you repeat the question.
6Sure.
If Mr. Epstein were engaging in sex acts with
Q.
7underage girls on his planes and he didn't want you to see it,
8he probably would have told you that you couldn't leave the
9cockpit during the flight; isn't that right?
10A.
That's correct.
11And he never told you that you could never mingle with the
Q.
12passengers; right?
13A.
No, not at all.
14Q.
In fact, you recounted how you did interact with the
15passengers on occasion; right?
16A.
Absolutely on occasion, sure.
17In fact, you were never given any rules about how you could
Q.
18or could not interact with the passengers; right?
19No, I was never told what to do with the passengers or what
A.
20not to do.
21Q.
And you were never given any rules about how you could
22interact with the other members of his staff or his assistants;
23isn't that right?
24That is correct, never.
A.
25Now, you did say that every once in a while you would leave
Q.
SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.
(212) 805-0300
197
- cross
LBUCmax3
the cockpit to use the restroom?
A.
Correct.
And you did that both on the Gulf Stream and on the Boeing;
Q.
4is that correct?
5A.
Yes.
6Q.
The Gulf Stream bathroom, you said, was in the back of the
7plane; right?
8A.
Yes.
9Q.
And the Boeing bathroom was near the cockpit but outside
10the cockpit; is that right?
11A.
Exactly, yes.
12So if you went to the bathroom in the Boeing, you could
Q.
13still see the cabin where the passengers were, at least the
14first cabin?
15If the door was open.
A.
Each section of the aircraft had a
16door and typically the doors were open.
17Q.
Well, in any of those trips to the restroom, you never saw
18any sexual activity on the plane?
19A.
No, I never did.
20Q.
And you had also, I think, occasion go to get coffee in the
21galley kitchen; is that right?
22I would go to the middle of the
A.
In the Boeing, yes.
23aircraft to get a cup of coffee on occasion, sure.
24And as you said in the Boeing, the galley kitchens is in
Q.
25the middle of the aircraft; is that right?
198
- cross
LBUCmax3
A.
That's correct.
So you would have to walk through at least that first cab':-:
Q.
of passengers?
4A.
That's correct.
5Q.
And on those trips you took to get coffee in the galley
6kitchen, you never saw any sexual activity going on then, did
7you?
8A.
No, never.
9Q.
Now, after the flight landed, I believe it was part of the
10pilot's job to help clean up the cabin and straighten up a bit;
11isn't that right?
12A.
Yes, it is.
13And when you did that, you never saw anything like clothes
Q.
14strewn about the cabin; is that right?
15A.
No, never.
16You never saw any sex toys left in the cabin?
Q.
17A.
Never.
18Q.
You never saw anything like used condoms?
19A.
Absolutely not.
20You never saw anything that gave you the impression that
Q.
21any kind of sexual activity was taking place on the plane with
22anyone; is that right?
23That is correct, I never, no.
A.
24So sitting here today, based on what you observed, you have
Q.
25no reason to believe that Epstein or anyone else was engaging
199
- cross
LBUCmax3
in sexual activity with underage girls on the flights you
piloted; isn't that right?
A.
Correct.
4, I want to ask you some questions about how the
Mr.
Q.
5flights were scheduled and set up.
Okay?
6A.
Sure.
7Now, before a flight was scheduled, you and
Q.
8needed to be alerted ahead of time that Epstein needed to fly
9somewhere; isn't that right?
10A.
Yes.
11Q.
I think you said typically you get about a day's notice;
12isn't that right?
13A.
That's correct.
14And several different people would call you to schedule
Q.
15these flights; is that right?
16A.
Yes.
17Q.
And in the 1990s, focusing on that time period, you would
18occasionally get calls from Epstein himself to schedule
19flights?
20A.
He would call on occasion, yes.
21And every once in a while, you'd get a call from Ghislaine,
Q.
22as well?
23A.
Sure.
24But during that time period, it was usually Epstein's
Q.
25secretary or one of his other assistants in New York who would

4And I think you said that in the 1990s, you didn't

6It was a beeper, pager.

That's before everybody owned a

11A.

12But you did have the beepers?
Q.

Yes.
14Q.
And you and
would get a message on your beeper;
15right?
16A.
Yes.
17And you would call back Epstein's office, usually; right?
Q.
18A.
Yes.
19Because that's usually where the call came from, isn't it?
Q.
20A.
That's correct.
That was the number that would appear for
21departure.
22And you would talk to Epstein's secretary or assistant or
Q.
23whoever was going to schedule that flight?
24A.
Correct.
25Now, occasionally, you said you talked to Ghislaine about

7A.
Most of the time, sure.
8Q.
And in the 2000s now, fast forwarding to a later time

Thank you.
You can take that down.
So in the 2000s, that's the number you would speak to
Q.
on about arranging flights?
4A.
Correct.
5Q.
Now, regardless of who you spoke to about scheduling
6flights, when you were told that Epstein needed to fly
7somewhere, you would need to be given certain information about
8the flight; correct?
9A.
Sure.
10Q.
Like, for example, you would need to be given the date of
11when Epstein wanted to fly?
12A.
Correct.
13You would need to be given roughly the time of departure:
Q.
14A.
Yes.
15And you would need to be given the destination where you're

16going to fly; right?
17A.
Yes.
That would be helpful, yes.
18You might want to follow a flight plan or something like

But you wouldn't necessarily be told who was going to be
22going on the flight; right?

Not at all.
24If you had someone who was particularly important that was
Q.
25going to be on the flight, you might be told ahead of time?
207

A.
Exactly.
So, for example, I believe former president Bill Clinton
Q.
flew on Epstein's planes a few times in the 2000s; isn't that
4right?
5A.
Yes, he did.
6So if he were going to be on the flight, you might be told
Q.
7that information in advance?
8A.
Yes.
9Q.
Because you might want to make sure the plane looked nice?
10A.
Exactly.
11You might want to invite some special caterer?

12A.
Sure.
13But otherwise, you might not know who would be traveling on
Q.

And even when the passengers arrived at the airport, even
17then, you wouldn't necessarily meet all the passengers; right?

No, not at all.
19A lot of the time you didn't meet them?
Q.

21Q.
Sometimes you were just given their names?

female if we didn't catch a name.
Q.
Obviously, if you did know the name or it was a person you
recognized from before, you would put their name on the
4manifest?
5A.
Absolutely.
6And you said that it was important to keep track of the
Q.
7head count, which is why you wanted to know how many people
8were on the plane; right?
9A.
That is correct.
10Now, you said weight was also a consideration; is that
Q.
11right?
12It's a consideration on some aircraft, not the kind that
A.
13we're flying, but it's something that should take into account
14But it is a consideration
or as far as how heavy luggage is.
15as a pilot to know how much something weighs as far as luggage
16and/or passenger.
17Q.
And that's if you're flying a small plane, for example, you
18need to know the weight of the passengers?
19A.
Exactly, yes.
20But for the planes you were flying for Epstein,
Q.
21particularly the Gulf Stream and the Boeing, you didn't need to
22know the weight for those planes; right?
23It's, like I said, more of a
It was not necessary, no.
A.
24head count, but yeah, it's not a factor in these type of
25aircraft.
- cross
LBUCmax3
Right, because the Boeing, as we saw it, it's huge; right?
Q.
A.
Correct.
And the Gulf Stream is not a little prop plane, it has a
Q.
4jet engine; right?
5A.
Correct.
It's not power challenged, correct.
6So it wasn't your practice to ask passengers their weight
Q.
7before they boarded?
8A.
No, absolutely not.
9Q.
Now, it was sometimes the case, wasn't it, that if one of
10Epstein's friends or acquaintances or family members needed to
11go to the same place he was flying, he would take them on his
12plane; right?
13A.
I don't know for a fact, but sure,
I'm sure on occasion.
14if we were going to the same place, he may extend an invitation
15for somebody to come along.
16Q.
He did have friends and family members and other people
17traveling on his plane?
18That is correct, yes.
I see what you're saying.
A.
19Q.
It's like offering a lift in your car, except it's a jet?
20A.
Correct, yes.
21Q.
You call these people tagalongs; right?
22Yeah, there is several names, sure, but tagalongs or extra
A.
23guest.
24Q.
Now, in those cases, if the person or the tagalong was not
25a regular traveler, you might not know their name?

210

211
- cross
LBUCmax3
A.
That's correct.
Or you might just be given their first name?
Q.
A.
Correct.
4Q.
Not be given a name at all?
5A.
Correct.
6So that's an example of where you might put one female, one
Q.
7male?
8A.
That is correct, yes.
9Q.
Now, the manifest, you testified that you kept the
10manifest; right?
11A.
Yes.
12And then eventually you gave them to the New York office?
Q.
13A.
Correct.
14Q.
I think you sent them, if I recall, to someone named
15in New York; is that right?
16A.
Yes.
17You did not send them to Ghislaine, though; isn't that
Q.
18right?
19A.
No, they went to the main office, whether it be
20haven't heard that name in a long time.
That was a memory
21refreshed.
Thank you.
22Q.
My pleasure.
So you have no reason to believe that
23Ghislaine was reviewing these manifests; right?
24A.
No, Ms. Maxwell had nothing to do with the passenger
25manifests.
- cross
LBUCmax3
So from your perspective, you had no reason to believe that
Q.
Ghislaine would have known which passengers were on the flights
that she didn't fly on herself?
4A.
Correct.
5I want to talk to you about a few specific flights.
Q.
I
6think you mentioned in your testimony a place called
7Interlochen; is that right?
8A.
Yes.
9Q.
Interlochen is, I think you recall, an arts center; is that
10right?
11A.
Yes, correct.
12It hosts an arts camp in the summer for musicians and
Q.
13singers and actors and other types of artists; is that right?
14A.
That's correct.
15Q.
And generally, in this summer camp, these artists,
16musicians, and singers are in high school; is that right?
17I didn't know where they -- I knew it was just an upcoming
A.
18school for talented, I guess, children, because I would take it
19they're more on the younger side than older.
20Q.
Understood.
Are you aware that Epstein himself attended
21the Interlochen Summer Arts Camp when he was a young man?
22A.
I did not.
23Q.
Interlochen is located in Michigan?
24A.
Correct.
25And to get to Interlochen, you said you had to fly into
Q.
213
- cross
LBUCmax3
Traverse City, Michigan?
A.That's correct.
Q.That's the closest airport?
4A.That is closest.
5Q.And in the 1990s, you flew into Traverse City at least once
6a year or maybe twice a year in the summer months, you recall;
7right?
8A.That's correct.
9Q.Do you recall any of the passengers on those flights?
10A.I do not.
11Q.Isn't it true that Itzhak Perlman flew on some of those
12flights?
13A.As you said, it just dawned on me, yes, Itzhak Perlman did
14fly on some of those flights, correct.
15Q.Itzhak Perlman is a world famous violinist?
16A.Yes.
17Q.It's fair to say that Epstein went to Interlochen almost
18every summer in the 1990s; isn't that right?
19A.He went there often in the '90s, but like you, said we are
20going back a ways.
Yes, correct.
21Q.You recall this being in the summer months?
22A.Summer months, yes.
23Q.These flights typically took place in August, didn't they?
24A.I don't know the exact month, but it was warm.
25Q.Let me see if I can show you something to refresh your

just for the Court, the deputy, and the witness, please.
We'11
direct your attention, Mr.

4count up six or seven lines, if you look at those entries right
5there.
6A.
Yes.
7And you can look to the left-hand side, as well, in
Q.
Okay.
8terms of the date.
9A.
Yes.
10Does that refresh your recollection about flying in the
Q.
11month of August to Interlochen?
12A.
Sure it does, yeah.
This certainly would be a trip that we
13So it would be in the
would do.
I recognize the identifiers.
14trip that we would do during that timeframe, yes.
15So, you recall, I believe, right, that Epstein eventually
Q.
16had a cabin at Interlochen; isn't that right?
17A.
That is correct.
18So he would be going there at the end of the summers to
Q.
19stay in his cabin and see the performances at the end of the
20Interlochen Summer Camp; isn't that right?
21It was my understanding, which it could have been hearsay
A.
22information, that I thought the cabin was bought or built for
23Itzhak Perlman, but that was just a rumor I heard, but I don't
24know whether or not Mr. Epstein actually stayed in the cabin or
25he donated it to the Interlochen School.
I don't know a whole
- cross
LBUCmax3
lot of facts on it, just sheer of what I know, what I remember.
But on those trips, Ghislaine wasn't with him every time he
Q.
went, was she?
4A.
I don't remember whether she was or not.
I know
5Mr. Epstein was because he always traveled on the aircraft.
6Let's take a look at that same document again to see if I
Q.
7can refresh your recollection.
One moment.
8A.
Sure.
9Q.
I'll call up that same page if I could, 3527-007 at page 2,
10just for the Court, the deputy, and the witness.
We'll look at
11the same entries as you did before, Mr.

Okay.
13THE COURT:
Describe those, please.

Sorry.
It's the sixth and seventh
15entries up from the bottom.
16These are the ones we were looking at before; isn't that
Q.
17right, Mr.
18A.
That's correct.
19Q.
And if you look there, there is some indications of the
20passengers?
21A.
Yes, I see that.
22And does that refresh your recollection about whether or
Q.
23not there were flights to Interlochen that Ms. Maxwell did not
24fly on?
25I mean, it appears that way.
A.
Obviously this isn't my

4THE COURT:
Sustained.
I'll have the jury disregarded
5observations of the document that are not in evidence other
6than to refresh his recollection, which we've moved beyond.
7MR. EVERDELL:
Understood, your Honor.
That's fine.
8Thank you, Mr.
We can take that down.
9BY MR. EVERDELL:
10Mr.
, I think you also flew Mr. Epstein a number of
Q.
11times to Columbus, Ohio; isn't that right?
12A.
That's correct.
13Columbus, Ohio is where Les Wexner lives?
Q.
14A.
That's correct.
15Les Wexner is the billionaire owner of the Limited?
Q.
16A.
That's correct.
17Q.
That's the clothing company?
18A.
Yes.
19It owns Victoria's Secret and Abercrombie & Fitch, among
Q.
20other companies?
21A.
That's correct, yes.
22Q.
And Les Wexner was a friend of Jeffrey Epstein's?
23I believe they were friends.
A.
24He was one of Epstein's clients, wasn't he?
Q.
25To my knowledge, Mr. Epstein would call him a client, yes.
A.
217
- cross
LBUCmax3
Q.And Epstein had a home and an office in Columbus, Ohio
where Les Wexner's home was; isn't that right?
A.That is correct.
4Q.So he had a few reasons to go to Columbus, Ohio?
5A.That's correct.
6Q.Now, you were asked a few questions by the government about
7a woman we are referring to as
8A.Yes.
9Q.Do you recall that?
10A.Yes.
11Q.is not her real name; right?
Just to be clear,
12A.Correct.
13Q.But you do know what her real name is?
14A.Yes.
15Q.It's been shown to you?
16A.That's correct.
17Q.on Epstein's plane on one
Now, you recall seeing
18occasion; is that right?
19A.One occasion for sure at the time that I had met her.
20Q.That's the only time you actually have a recollection?
21A.That I have a recollection of, correct.
22Q.And you recall this I think being in the 1990s; right?
23A.Yes.
24Q.Now you said, I believe, that you remember meeting her; is
25that right?
- cross
LBUCmax3
A.
Yes.
And that she was a singer; right?
Q.
A.
Yes.
That's the way Mr. Epstein introduced her as.
4And you said that I think she had striking blue eyes; is
Q.
5that right?
6A.
Correct.
7Q.
You'll forgive the question, Mr.
, but I think you
8also remembered that at the time you saw her, you remembered
9she had large breasts; isn't that right?
10She was a mature woman, in my opinion.
A.
11Well, she looked to you like she was in her 20s, as we said
Q.
12before?
13A.
Sure, yes.
14Now, you remember that this meeting took place I think you
Q.
15said in Palm Beach?
16A.
It was on the ramp in West Palm Beach, correct.
17Now, it was sometimes the case that Epstein would invite
Q.
18people onto the plane before takeoff to show them the plane;
19isn't that right?
20A.
Correct.
21And sometimes Epstein brought them into the cockpit to meet
Q.
22the pilots?
23A.
That's correct, yes.
24And these people didn't always fly on the planes; isn't
Q.
25that right?

them the interior and the cockpit, correct.
Q.
Sometimes he would show them around, they would look
4around, maybe meet the pilots, and then leave before takeoff?
5A.
That's correct, yes.
6Sitting here today, you don't know whether the woman you
Q.
7, actually flew on that flight that you recall meeting
met,
8her in the plane?
9I wouldn't be able to swear that she actually flew on it.
A.
10I know I met her in the cockpit.
11And you don't remember where that flight was going?
Q.
12A.
No, I don't.
13Q.
And you don't remember anybody else who was on that flight?
14A.
I do not.
15specifically,
Q.
And again, you don't recall seeing
16seeing
on the plane or any plane at any other time except
17that one time in Palm Beach that you recall?
18I can't visualize her sitting in the passenger compartment
A.
19like I would, say, president Clinton.
It was so long ago, but
20to answer your question, I can't visually see her sitting in
21the -- I see her standing in between the two pilot seats.
22That's my recollection of her.
23On that one occasion?
Q.
24On that one occasion, yes, sir.
A.
25Now, you met, I believe, with the government on several
Q.
220

LBUCmax3
times before coming here to testify today; isn't that right?
A.
Yes.
Q.
And at one of those meetings, they showed you the same
4document that I've been showing you just today to refresh your
5recollection; isn't that right?
6Was that reference to the logbook looking --
A.
7Q.
Yes.
8A.
Okay.
I don't remember if I did see any from the
9I'm going to go with
government on that.
I'm drawing a blank.
10yes.

12you?

Yes.
14To see if you recall them?
Q.
15A.
Yes.
16You do remember that?
Q.
17A.
Yes, I do.
Yes.
18And in particular, they pointed out certain flights to you
Q.
19where a female passenger was listed with just her first name.
20Do you remember that?
21A.
Yes.
22Q.
And that first name was the same as
true first name;
23is that right?
24A.
Correct.
25And that did not list the passenger's last name, right,
Q.
SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.
221
- cross
LBUCmax3
just her true first name?
A.
Correct.
Yes.
And there were three of those flights; is that right?
Q.
4A.
As far as that same first name?
5Q.
Yes.
6A.
I'm sure, yeah, there is at least three.
7There was one in '96, one in '97, and one in '98 they
Q.
8showed you; is that right?
9I don't remember the dates, Mr. Everdell.
A.
10Q.
Do you remember those three flights they showed you?
11A.
Yes.
12Well, when you met with the government and they showed you
Q.
13these three flights, you couldn't recall whether the woman we
14are referring to as
actually flew on those flights or
15whether it was somebody else with her same first name?
16There was a -- the first names were the same, but
A.
Correct.
17there were no last names.
18Now, sitting here today, you still don't know whether the
Q.
19flew on any of those flights; isn't
women we're calling
20that right?
21I mean, it was just -- I couldn't
A.
Not to my knowledge.
22tell one from the other with no last name and 20 -- like you
23said, 20, 22 years ago.
24Q.
Sure.
But there were other people in Epstein's world who
25had that same true first name; isn't that right?
222
- cross
LBUCmax3
A.
That is correct, yes.
For example, Epstein had an assistant with that same first
Q.
name; isn't that right?
4A.
That is correct.
5And it was spelled the same way, wasn't it?
Q.
6A.
Yes.

And you met that person, didn't you?

Yes, I did.

I don't know -- I don't remember that.
A.
I certainly
remember President Trump, but not nearly the other people
associated with him.
Like I said, if it was something special
4that would get embranded in my head, I certainly remember the
5president.
6Did Robert Kennedy Jr. also fly on his plane?
Q.
7A.
I don't remember.
I'm not remembering that one.
8the former astronaut?

I remember them, as well.
15It's fair to say that these are all pretty high profile
Q.
16people; is that right?
17A.
Correct.
18And these are people who the public at large would be
Q.
19interested in?
20A.
Sure.
21And these are all people who are subject to a great deal of
Q.
22media attention and scrutiny; is that right?

Mr.

employment to sign a nondisclosure agreement?
4A.
That is correct.
5Q.
Now, when you were asked to sign a nondisclosure agreement,
6you didn't think it was unusual, did you?
7A.
Not at all.
8And you certainly didn't take it to mean that you needed to
Q.
9sign it so you wouldn't disclose some kind of illegal activity
10that was happening on the plane, did you?
11A.
No, of course not.
12You never saw anything that came close to that; right?
Q.
13A.
Correct.
14You just took it to mean you couldn't write a book about
Q.
15the stuff and the people you were interacting with; right?
16That's correct.
Several of my colleagues have signed the
A.
17same or similar documents in my profession.
It's a fairly
18normal request.
19So for people who fly private jets, this is a fairly common
Q.
20occurrence?
21A.
That is correct, sure.

You have a lot of people, high profile people we just
23mentioned, who don't want necessarily all their business
24written about in a book; right?

I want to ask you a little bit about where you stayed when

you flew to Epstein's residences.
All right?
A.
Okay.
4Now, I believe your home is near Palm Beach; is that right?

11When you flew to New York, where did you stay?
Q.
12The first part of my employment with Mr. Epstein, I stayed

13in a hotel, but then later on, I was offered to stay at a
14building he owned, an apartment building on East 62nd or 66th

16Q.
Was that 301 East 66th Street?
17A.
That is correct.
18Q.
Is that where your partner, copilot Dave Rogers also
19stayed?
20A.
That's correct.
21Q.
And that's an apartment building?
22A.
That is correct.
23Q.
These are basically corporate apartments?
24A.
Correct.
25Do you know if Epstein owns that building or rents those
Q.
- cross
LBUCmax3
apartments?
I don't know the actual business of it.
It was to my
A.
knowledge that he owned the building.
4But it's safe to say that you and
Q.
stayed there
5on your trips to New York?
6A.
That is correct.
7Do you know if any other Epstein employees stayed there?
Q.
8A.
Yes.
9So you saw some other employees in the building when you
Q.
10were there; right?
11A.
Correct.
12Q.
For example, you saw
in the 66th Street
13building; is that right?
14A.
That's correct.
15Q.
Do you remember any others you saw there?
16A.
The other person was the one we can't say the name.
17Q.
Okay.
So you saw the person whose photographs we just
18looked at, LV3A and LV3B; right?
19A.
That is correct, yes.
20Q.
You saw that woman in that apartment building?
21A.
That is correct, yes.
22But you never saw the woman we're referring to as
Q.
23there, did you?
24No, not -- no.
A.
25Q.
All right.
Now, for the ranch in New Mexico, your
SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.
238
- cross
LBUCmax3
recollection is that Epstein bought the ranch I think sometime
in the mid 1990s; is that right?
A.
That's correct.
4And when he first bought the property, that large main
Q.
5house that we saw pictures of hadn't been built yet right?
6A.
That's correct.
7That house was under construction for several years; right?
Q.
8A.
That's correct.
9I think you said it was finished towards the end of the
Q.
10'90s, 2000?
11A.
Correct.
12So you stayed when you went to the ranch in the mid to late
Q.
13'90s -- well, where did you stay?
14A.
In the early part of the mid '90s, I stayed at the Ranch
15Central in the bunkhouse rooms, and then later on I built a
16home on the ranch.
17I'll ask you about that home in a bit.
But for the first
Q.
18part, you stayed in Ranch Central; right?
19A.
Ranch Central, correct.
20Q.
And the ranch hands and the property manager stayed there,
21as well?
22A.
They stayed in the other buildings associated with Ranch
23Central, but mostly the Ranch Central lodge or bedrooms were
24for guests that were on the aircraft.
But everybody stayed,
25really, at Ranch Central, like you said, employees or workers
239
- cross
LBUCmax3
on the ranch that lived there.
And you said that Epstein, before the main house was built,
Q.
stayed in that triple-wide trailer you called the lodge; is
4that right?
5A.
That's correct.
6And you've described it already, I think from the
Okay.
Q.
7outside, it had a deck; is that right?
8A.
That's correct.
9And it sort of looks nicer than a trailer does from the
Q.
10outside, it was outfitted that way?
11A.
Correct, yes.
12About how big was it?
Q.
13A.
It was probably around two 2,000 square feet.
14Q.
You went inside it?
15A.
Yes.
16How many times were you inside that triple-wide trailer?
Q.
17A.
Many times.
18And you described the interior before, but you mentioned a
Q.
19number of bedrooms.
Can you just describe a little bit when
20you walk in the front door where things are situated from the
21front door entrance, the different rooms?
22Sure.
A.
When you walked in the front door, there was
23immediately to your left, there was a fireplace on the wall.
24Across from the fireplace, there was a couch that faced the
25fireplace.
You went further in, you're in the middle of the

6 A. There was a bedroom with a bathroom in between. They weren't a Jack and Jill bathroom, but it was still a bedroom, a bathroom in between, and then the other bedroom, but they were on the right side of the trailer. The left side of the trailer was the master bedroom. So it was a split floor plan.

11 Q. But you didn't sleep there; right?

12 A. On occasion I have slept there.

13 14 15 16 17 Q. Where did you sleep, in one of the guestrooms? A. In one of the guestrooms, but this was a vacation where Mr. Epstein was on the ranch. It was before I built my home, so I was able to spend the time at the lodge. We're going really back far.

18 19 Q. But eventually, and I think maybe it was in the 2000s or so, Epstein gave you some land; is that right?

20 A. That's correct.

21 22 Q. Epstein gave you about 40 acres of land from his ranch so that you could build a house; isn't that right?

23 A. That's correct.

24 Q. And he didn't charge you for that land?

25 A. No, he did not.

Q.
And you built a house there?
A.
I built the house there, yes.
So from about 2000 onwards when you flew to the ranch,
Q.
4you'd stay at your home?
5A.
That is correct.
6Let me ask you briefly about the trips to Epstein's island
Q.
7in the Virgin Islands.
You said that's Little St. James
8Island?
9A.
That's correct.
10Q.
When you flew to the Virgin Islands, you didn't fly
11directly into little St. James, you said; right?
12A.
No.
13It doesn't have an airstrip?
Q.
14A.
That's correct.
15You flew to St. Thomas, which is the bigger island right
Q.
16by?
17A.
That's correct.
18You flew Epstein and his guests to Little St. James in a
Q.
19helicopter?
20A.
Correct.
21Q.
Because you're a trained helicopter pilot?
22That is correct.
A.
23Where did you stay when you went on the trips to the Virgin
Q.
24Islands?
25A.
Typical hotel, Marriott Resorts that were there.
SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.
242
- cross
LBUCmax3
So you wouldn't stay in the island residence, you'd stay at
Q.
St. Thomas?
A.
I would bring the helicopter back and the crew would stay
4on St. Thomas in a regular hotel.
5Now, we saw a number of photographs of Little St. James
Q.
6Island when you were on your direct testimony.
7Do you remember those?
8A.
Yes.
9I'm not going to call them up, there were a number of them.
Q.
10But you recall that they had structures on the property in
11those photographs; right?
12A.
Yes.
13Q.
They had the fully built houses on those photographs;
14right?
15A.
Yes.
16Q.
Well, when Epstein first bought the property, those houses
17weren't there; right?
18Some of the buildings were not there.
He added buildings,
A.
19yes.
20So there was a fair amount of construction to make the
Q.
21island look the way it was in those photographs; right?
22A.
That is correct.
23And was it about -- was it roughly '97 when he purchased
Q.
24the property?
25It was the late '90s, correct.
I don't know the exact

Q.
And that construction was going on for several years,
wasn't it?
4A.
Yes.
5Q.
Including the helipad that was there?
6The helipad moved a couple times, but yeah, it was --
A.
7kind of easy to do a helipad compared to a building, but yes,
8the helipad moved around.
9Q.
And Ghislaine supervised all that construction?
10A.

You like cars?

16A.Yes.
17Q.Where did he get it from?
18A.That came from Mr. Wexler in Columbus, Ohio.
19Q.Do you know approximately when he got that car?
20A.It had to been -- I know the car was built in '94,
21Mr. Wexner held it for — I'm only guessing now — a year or two.

Thank you.

He said that he
9would take care of all employees' children's education.

And are you aware that he often got massages on a regular basis for the same reason? A. Yes, he did. Yes. Q. Now, for example, when you flew to the ranch in New Mexico, the ranch manager would sometimes arrange massages for Epstein; isn't that right? A. It's what I heard from the ranch manager, yes. Q. When the masseuses showed up, they were from a professional saloon in Santa Fe? A. To my knowledge, yes. Q. That was called the Ten Thousand Waves; is that right? A. I know that salon existed and it was famous for massage service, yes. Q. And he received massages from both male and female masseuses; isn't that right? SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.

I didn't know their sexes, to be honest with you.
A.
Q.
But to your knowledge, these were all adult professional
masseuses?
4A.
Oh, absolutely.
5, I want to ask you some questions about
Now, Mr.
Q.
6where Epstein lived in New York and where Ghislaine lived in
7New York in the 1990s and the 2000s.
8A.
Okay.
9Q.
Epstein, I think you testified, had two different
10residences in New York from 1991 two 2005?
11A.
Correct.
12Q.
You visited both of these?
13A.
Yes.
14One of the reasons you would have gone to his residence was
Q.
15to pick up his luggage or drop it off before or after a flight;
16right?
17A.
That was typically the main reason, correct.
18Q.
Another reason you said you might have gone there was you
19had a hobby of installing home video and audio equipment and
20home theaters; is that right?
21A.
It was home theater.
I had been using the word "video
22equipment," but it was in the '90s when home theaters, the
23Dolby came out, so everybody was on installing that.
So he
24got -- he was an audio/video person, too, as one on high

residences.
Q.
This is something you know how to do well?
Yeah, I had a knack for that, as well.
A.
4So your mechanics background helps with that?
Q.
5A.
Yes, it did.
6And he liked having sort of the latest audio/video
Q.
7equipment or home theater equipment in his homes?
8A.
Absolutely.
9So you would occasionally go to all of his homes and
Q.
10install this for him?
11A.
Absolutely, yes.
12Q.
Did this in all his residences, not just New York?
13A.
All of them.
14Q.
Palm Beach, Zorro Ranch, the island?
15A.
That's correct.
16I want to focus on his residences in New York.
Your
Q.
17recollection is that when you first began working for him in
18'91, he lived on a residence on 69th Street; isn't that right?
19Yes, that was of the first residences I remember.
A.
I think
20I only maybe went there one time.
It was very early on
21obviously, in '91.
22Was that 34 East 69th Street?
Q.
23A.
I know it was 69th Street.
I don't remember the number.
24But you are correct when you say 69th Street.
25Q.
And then sometime after that, maybe in the mid '90s, he
251
- cross
LBUCmax3
moved to a townhouse on 71st Street; right?
A.
That's correct.
Q.
That's the one we saw photographs of?
4Correct, that's the 9 East 71st Street.
A.
5Q.
That's right off Fifth Avenue and Central Park?
6A.
Correct.
7And these are the only two New York residences you recall
Q.
8for Epstein; isn't that right?
9A.
That's correct.
10That's where you go to pick up his luggage and install
Q.
11video equipment?
12A.
Yes.
13Now, you also went to Ghislaine's residences during the
Q.
14same period, didn't you?
15A.
Yes.
16Q.
And you went for the same purposes; isn't that right?
17Yes, it was exactly -- yes, for luggage and such.
A.
18Q.
You'd go pick up her luggage from the residence, drop it
19off there?
20A.
Yes.
21Q.
I think you also did the home theater work for her
22residences, as well?
23A.
Exactly, yes.
24Now, Ghislaine had several different residences in New York
Q.
25from 1991 to 2005; isn't that right?
252
LBUCmax3
- cross
A.Yes.
Q.And I believe you said you think you went to all of them:
A.Yes.
4Q.So when you first started working for Epstein in '91, she
5lived in an apartment on -- you said a small apartment on the
6east side of Manhattan; is that right?
7A.Yes.
8Q.Do you recall if that was 20 East 66th Street?
9A.I don't remember the -- I definitely don't remember the
1066th Street because I would have remembered that was the
11apartment building where we stayed, but I don't remember the
12address of her very first place.
13Q.And then at some point in the mid '90s, she moved to a
14different apartment on the east side on 84th Street?
15A.I do remember 84th Street, yes.
16Q.I think you described that before in your testimony?
17A.Yes.
18Q.Was that 114 East 84th Street?
19A.Yes, it was.
20Q.Do you recall her living for a few years in the late '90s
21and early 2000s at an apartment on East 81st Street?
22A.I don't remember 81st Street.
I just remember 84th Street.
23Q.But you do recall that, at some point, maybe in the early
242000s, she moved to a townhouse on East 65th Street?
25A.I do remember 65th Street, yes.

Q.
And that was 301 East 65th Street; right?
No, 301 -- well, 301 was the apartment.
A.
66th Street, that
address on 65th, which I want to say it was 116 or 114 East
465th Street --
5MR. EVERDELL:
One moment, your Honor.
6Q.
Sorry
I'm going to correct myself.
It was 116 East 65th
7Street?
8A.
There you go.
That's correct.
9These are all the New York residences that you recall for
Q.
10Ghislaine; correct?
11A.
Yes, it is.
12Q.
These are all different residences than the residences that
13Epstein had as we discussed; isn't that right?
14A.
That's correct.
15Q.
And that's where you'd pick up Ghislaine's luggage from;
16right?
17A.
Yes.
18Q.
You wouldn't pick it up from one of Epstein's residences;
19right?
20A.
No, not unless I was picking up Jeffrey's luggage, I went
21to Mr. Epstein's residence.
22So at all times from 1991 to the 2000s, Ghislaine
Q.
23maintained a separate residence in New York from Mr. Epstein's;
24is that right?
25A.
Correct.

LBUCmax3 - cross

Q.
Mr.
, I have one related question about the home
theater equipment you installed.
You testified that you
installed this type of equipment in virtually all of Epstein's
4residences; right?
5A.
Yes.
6Q.
And you installed it in his residence in Palm Beach, you
7said; right?
8A.
Yes.
9So that Palm Beach residence was 358 El Brillo Way in Palm
Q.
10Beach?
11A.
That's correct.
12Do you recall a time when the El Brillo Way residence was
Q.
13being renovated and Epstein had to move to a rental residence
14in Palm Beach?
15I do remember that time.
A.
16And did you install the sort of home theater or any audio
Q.
17equipment in the rental residence?
18A.
I don't recall installing in the rental residence, no.
19Q.
Do you recall where the rental residence was located in
20Palm Beach?
21I know approximately where it
I don't know the address.
A.
22was, but I don't remember the address.
23Q.
Do you recall when the renovation took place?
24I do not.
A.
I'd only be guessing if I said the mid 1990s,
25but I can't give you an accurate date.
Nothing sticks out in

Best guess is sometime in the mid '90s?
Q.
A.
Mid '90s, yes.
4Do you recall how long the renovation lasted?
Q.
5It was a pretty serious renovation.
A.
I'd only be guessing
6if I said six to eight months.

14MR. EVERDELL:
Understood.
15Q.
Mr.
, I want to ask you some questions about your
16Okay?
sense of the relationship between Epstein and Ghislaine.
17A.
Okay.
18Now, you said you flew on numerous flights both of them;
Q.
19right?
20A.
Yes.
21And you interacted with them on a regular basis for several
Q.
22years from the 1990s and the 2000s; right?
23A.
Yes.
24So I think you got a sense of what Ghislaine did for
Q.
25Mr. Epstein; right?
256
- cross
LBUCmax3
A.Yes.
Q.And you testified that she was one of the assistants he had
in his office; right?
4A.Yes.
5Q.He had lots of assistants; isn't that right?
6A.That's correct.
7Q.Now, in the mid '90s through the end of the 1990s,
8Ghislaine was the assistant who took care of Epstein's
9properties; isn't that right?
10A.That's correct.
11Q.She would make sure the cleaning people came; right?
12A.Yes.
13Q.Or the -- well, there were -- I should clarify.
There were
14staff at each one of these residences; right?
15A.Yes, she took -- yes.
16Q.And there were house managers at each one of these
17residences?
18A.That's correct.
19Q.So they would take care of, sort of, the day-to-day of each
20of these residences?
21A.Exactly.
She was in charge of the house managers, making
22sure that --
23Q.Right.
24A.-- it got taken care of.
25Q.She supervised the house managers who did the day-to-day?
SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.
(212) 805-0300
257

LBUCmax3
A.
Correct.
If there was something wrong, ultimately it was her
Q.
responsibility if there was a problem?
4It probably would have been the first phone call to
A.
5Ms. Maxwell to say we got a problem.
6If there was a problem with a pool guy not coming and the
Q.
7house manager wasn't dealing with it, Ghislaine would deal with
8it?
9A.
She would jump on it.
10Q.
Same thing, cleaning people didn't come on time and it
11wasn't being addressed correctly, Ghislaine had to deal with
12that?
13A.
Yes.
14She would manage the household staff as a supervisory over

15the household manager?
16A.
Correct.
17Q.
She would also oversee repairs and renovations and
18decorating?
19A.
Yes.
20Q.
Things like that?
21A.
Yes.
22She was a shopper for Epstein; right?
Q.
23She liked to shop.
A.
24She bought furniture and things like that for the

25residences?
258

A.
That is correct.
Q.
She bought household items?
A.
Yes.
4She decorated the planes, too; right?
Q.
5She had a lot put into the airplanes, stocking the airplane
A.
6on what we carry as far as beverages.
7Q.
We saw photographs of the plane, right, this isn't a matter
8of hanging a few curtains; right?
9A.
No.
10This is a pretty big job to outfit one of these planes
Q.
11correctly for their flight?
12A.
Sure.
13And we also saw these properties; right? They were --
Q.
14That was a large
let's talk about the ranch in particular.
15piece of property; right?
16A lot of square footage, yes.
A.
17You said 10,000 acres, roughly?
Q.
18A.
Yes.
19It's a pretty big job to manage those properties; right?
Q.
20A.
Yes.
21In particular, just to call out the ranch for a moment,
Q.
22there were animals on that property; right?
23A.
Yes.
24Q.
There were horses in the stables?
25A.
She loved her horses.
259
- cross
LBUCmax3
She took care of the horses; right?
Q.
A.
Yes, she did.
Q.
She took care of the other animals on the property?
4A.
Yes.
5This took a lot of Ghislaine's time and energy to do this
Q.
6job, didn't it?
7A.
Yes.
8And she had to travel to the properties from time to time
Q.
9to do this work; right?
10A.
That's correct.
11Q.
Now, I think in your testimony, you called her Epstein's
12number 2; right?
13A.
Yes.
14Q.
But from your perspective, she was dealing with the
15aircraft and the properties; right?
16A.
Yes.
17She wasn't dealing with Epstein's finances; right?
Q.
18No, not the business side.
A.
It was Jeffrey household
19personal.
20The reason why you call her number 2 is because she was
Q.
21generally overseeing the running of the households; right?
22A.
Correct.
23But as we said, she wasn't on site at each of these
Q.
24properties every single day running the day-to-day of these
25households?
260
- cross
LBUCmax3
A.
No.
Q.
There were house managers that did that on a day-to-day
basis?
4A.
That's correct.
5Now, your recollection is that Ghislaine generally worked
Q.
6out of Epstein's offices in New York; isn't that right?
7A.
Yes.
8Q.
And you testified there was a room in Epstein's offices
9that had about five desks in it that was sort of off to the
10right of his office?
11A.
That's correct.
12Q.
And that's what you called the personal assistants' room;
13right?
14There was no official name for it, but it was my best
A.
15description of who was in that room.
16And Ghislaine was one of the personal assistants who had a
Q.
17desk in that room?
18A.
That's correct.
19Q.
Now, when you first met Ghislaine in 1991, she seemed to
20you to be just an employee of Epstein; isn't that right?
21It might in the first introduction.
A.
22So at that point early on, I'm talking '91, '92 when you
Q.
23first started working, it didn't seem to you like she had a
24personal relationship with Epstein; right?
25A.
No.
I believe when Mr. Epstein introduced her, that he

And when you start buying homes and properties, he -- Q. I'm sorry to interrupt. A. He knew he was going to get busy. So Ghislaine was his go-to person to handle everything else that was not business-related with his company. Q. So I think you said at some point, though, in the mid '90s, it may have appeared to you that Ghislaine was involved in a personal relationship with Epstein; isn't that right? A. Yeah, I thought they were a couple in the mid '90s. It's just my own take on it. Q. And that was based on your observations of them together at the time and how they interacted with each other? A. Sure. Yes. Q. They made travel plans together, they talked to each other, things like that? A. Yes. Q. But I think you testified that it wasn't totally clear to you that Epstein and Ghislaine had a romantic relationship; right? A. Yeah, I don't know what the definition of a romantic relationship is as opposed to just relationship. To me,

SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300

romantic would mean a more involved relationship.
I wasn'-
aware of anything more than a couple.
Q.
You never saw them kiss you said; right?
4A.
No.
5Q.
You never saw them hold hands?
6A.
No.
7Now, it's fair to say, isn't it, that a lot of women were
Q.
8flying on the plane with Epstein in the mid '90s; isn't that
9right?
10A.
That's correct.
11It's fair to say that there were plenty of times that
Q.
12Epstein was flying on the plane with these women without
13Ghislaine?
14A.
There has been times, sure.
15It appeared to you that these women were adult women?
Q.
16A.
Oh, yes.
17So from your vantage point, whether Ghislaine or any one of
Q.
18these other women was somebody romantically involved or
19something else, is a little blurry; right?
20A.
Yes.
21In fact, I think the only person you really considered to

17to you to have some sort of a personal relationship, she
18continued to work for him as an employee; isn't that right?
19A.Who's that, Ms. Maxwell?
20Q.Ms. Maxwell, yes.

7A.Yeah, she would tell what's going on and the troubles of
8decorating and house managers, et cetera, yes.
9Q.She'd talk about how demanding the job was; right?
10A.Yes.
11Q.Now, at some point, it appeared to you that whatever the
12personal relationship was between Epstein and Ghislaine sort of
13fizzled out; is that right?
14A.Yes.
15Q.And I think that was in about 2000, right, the best of your

24decreasing, wasn't it?
25A.I don't know how the decreasing point did, but it just

wasn't as personal, it was obviously more business, because in
early 2000s is when we went around the world in the Boeing.

was just decreasing.
4It was all business; right?

5It was all business.

1:35 P.M.
THE COURT:
Matters to take up, counsel?
4MS. COMEY:
Very briefly, your Honor.
5Some of the courtroom sketch artists have indicated
6confusion about the order about who they are allowed to draw
7And so I think we would propose that before we call a
and not.
8witness who cannot be sketched, that that be put on the record.
9Okay.
The only restriction is with
THE COURT:
10respect to the witnesses who I've permitted to testify
11anonymously.
12And any
MS. COMEY:
That's correct, your Honor.
13sealed exhibits, if someone were to somehow glimpse a sealed
14exhibit, though I think that's unlikely given the precautions
15we're taking.
16Okay.
So let's just talk through the
THE COURT:
17protocol, also what the witness will be called using the
18pseudonym.
19Yes, your Honor.
MS. COMEY:
20THE COURT:
And then I'll swear them in.
I would
21typically say, State your name for the record.
I'll just say,
22I've granted you permission to testify under the pseudonym,
23fill in the blank.
And then turn the witness over for
24questioning.

Good afternoon, Mr.
Q.
Good afternoon, Mr. Everdell.
A.
I just want to begin with a quick question about the ranch,
Q.
4all right?
5A.
Yes.
6Q.
You testified before that it had a lot of acreage?
7A.
Yes.
8Q.
I think you said roughly 10,000 acres or so?
9A.
10,000, yes.
10Q.
And there was a lot of open space on that ranch, right?
11A.
That's correct.
12And one of the things that guests, I think, typically like
Q.
13to do when they were there was to go hiking, right?
14A.
Correct.
Yes.
15Lots of places they could go hiking on the ranch?
Q.
16A.
Sure they could, yes.
17But it's true, isn't it, that the property had a lot of
Q.
18rattlesnakes on it, isn't it?
19A.
Yes, there are several rattlesnakes, yes.
20And it was wild country out there.
Q.
Okay.
21A.
Yes.
22And so if you were going to hike on this property,
Q.
Okay.
23you needed proper footwear to go hiking, right?
24A.
Yes.
25So people would typically wear boots to go
Q.
All right.
272
- cross
LBUVMAX4
hiking?
A.
That would be a first choice, yes.
Q.
And that would be recommended for any guest who wanted to
4go hiking, right?
5A.
Yes.
Correct.
6Okay.
Q.
Thank you.
7And I'll just say, I was reminded by the court
8reporter that we shouldn't talk over each other, so I'll try
9not to do it and we'll do the same, okay?
10A.
Yes.
11Q.
Thank you.
12I want to talk to you a bit about your
All right.
13enter actions with Ghislaine.
14A.
Okay.
15Q.
You testified that you first met Ghislaine in about 1991,
16when you started to work for Mr. Epstein, right?
17A.
That's correct.
18Q.
And Ghislaine would have been about 29 or 30 years or so
19when you first met her?
20A.
Yes.
21And Epstein would have been about 37 or 38 at the time; is
Q.
22that right?
23A.
That is right.
24Q.
And you said that Ghislaine flew on numerous flights with
25you in the 1990s and 2000s, right?
273
- cross
LBUVMAX4
A.
That is correct.
And so you knew her and you interacted with her for, it
Q.
would be, about 15 years, from the early 1990s to the mid
42000s; is that right?
5A.
That is correct.
6Q.
Now, in that whole time period, Ghislaine never appeared to
7you to be pregnant, did she?
8A.
No, not at all.
9No one ever told you she was pregnant?
Q.
10A.
No, never said that.
11And you never saw any pictures of her pregnant at any of
Q.
12the residences?
13A.
No, I did not.
14Now, you had some regular interactions with Ghislaine about
Q.
15your job, right?
16A.
Correct.
17Q.
For example, I believe Ghislaine reviewed your expense
18reports?
19A.
Yes, that was one detail, yes.
20So you said you took your expense reports to the New York
Q.
21office maybe about once a week?
22Yeah, whenever I was in New York; correct.
A.
23And it was Ghislaine's job to review them and approve them,
Q.
24right?
25A.
It was one of her duties, yes.
SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.
- cross
LBUVMAX4
And you also talked to her about scheduling maintenance
Q.
visits for the planes, right?
A.
That's correct.
4And you talked to her about scheduling your own vacations,
Q.
5right?
6A.
Yes.
7So generally speaking, these were the main interactions you
Q.
8had with Ghislaine regarding employment issues and your job?
9Yes, that was a good description of a lot of the
A.
10interaction that I had with Ms. Maxwell; correct.
11Q.
But now when Ghislaine had time when she wasn't working,
12she spent time on other pursuits, right?
13A.
Yes.
14Q.
She became a trained emergency medical technician, didn't
15she?
16A.
I know she had some medical training, yes.
17Q.
EMT?
18A.
EMT, yes.
19Q.
And she also became a trained helicopter pilot, too?
20A.
Yes, she did.
21You, yourself, are a trained helicopter pilot, right?
Q.
22Yes, I am.
A.
23And you traveled with Ghislaine when she went to school to
Q.
24become a trained helicopter pilot, right?
25A.
Yes, we traveled frequently together.
275
- cross
LBUVMAX4
Q.
Now, Epstein bought his first helicopter, your recollection
was, sometime around 1990, 2000; is that right?
Yeah, '99 to 2000; correct.
A.
Yes.
4So sometime, I believe, in the early 2000s, Ghislaine went
Q.
5to school to become a trained helicopter pilot; is that right?
6A.
Yes, she did.
7Q.
That school was in Pompano Beach, Florida?
8A.
That's correct.
9Pompano Beach is about an hour or so drive south of Palm
Q.
10Beach, right?
11A.
Yeah, give or take traffic.
It could be longer some days;
12but, yes, it's approximately an hour from Palm Beach to
13Pompano.
14Q.
And the training sessions that she was taking were about
15one to three times per week, right?
16A.
That's correct.
17Q.
Each training session lasted about three to four hours,
18isn't that right?
19Because there's a lot of preparation
A.
Yes, if not longer.
20before you fly, and you're flying for an hour and a half, and
21then you're still talking about it afterwards, you know, with
22So it could be a
your instructor, and then your drive home.
23long duration.
24So each training session was basically a full-day
Q.
Right.
25event, wasn't it?
276
- cross
LBUVMAX4
A.
Sure, it was.
You had to drive, take the course, talk to the instructor,
Q.
drive back, all that took about a day, right?
4A.
Yes.
5So it's fair to say she was away from the Palm Beach
Q.
6residence for the whole day when she was taking these courses,
7right?
8A.
Yes, good chance, yes.
9Q.
And that helicopter course that she took took about eight
10months to a year to complete, isn't that right?
11A.
Yes.
12That course took a fair amount of time, didn't it?
Q.
13Took a lot of time, yes.
A.
14And it goes without saying that at the time, the time that
Q.
15Ghislaine spent at those training sessions in Pompano Beach,
16she was not at Epstein's residence in Palm Beach, isn't that
17right?
18A.
That's a correct assumption.
19Now, you also accompanied Ghislaine to a different
Q.
20helicopter training school in Dallas, Texas; is that right?
21A.
That's correct.
22Q.
Do you remember when that was?
23A.
It was definitely once a year, because we were required to
24go back for recurrent training.
But I don't know the dates,
25but it was definitely once a year we would go to Dallas for

LBUVMAX4 - cross

277

training together.
And do you remember how long that training lasted on those
Q.
trips?
4A.
That class, it was typically, I believe, four days; two
5days of ground school, and two or three days of flight.
It
6could be four to five days, if memory serves.
7And those training sessions that you're referring to in
Q.
8Dallas, you said, took place every year you recall, right?
9A.
Every year is a requirement for us as pilots.
10Q.
Do you remember when in the year those took place?
11I do not.
I remember it being warm, not extremely cold, so
A.
12I would have to do the summer months; but, you know, the dates
13escape me without any documentation of when we took the
14courses.
15You guys had fun on those trips, right?
Q.
Okay.
16The training was hard, but we tried to make the best of it.
A.
17I mean, you occasionally went out to a steak dinner while
Q.
18you were there together?
19A.
Yes, we did.
20Q.
Those were fun events, right?
21A.
Yes.
22Q.
Now, once Ghislaine had her pilot's license, her helicopter
23pilot's license --
24A.
Yes.
25-- she flew Epstein's helicopter; is that right?
Q.
278
- cross
LBUVMAX4
A.
Yes, she did fly the helicopter.
You accompanied her on those flights as the more
Q.
experienced pilot?
4Yeah, I was going to go in that direction, but yes, I
A.
5accompanied her as a safety pilot.
We flew together.
6Q.
And to your knowledge, that was Epstein's helicopter, not
7Ghislaine's helicopter, right?
8A.
That's correct.
9So Ghislaine couldn't call you up and say, I want to fly
Q.
10the helicopter.
Have it ready for me.
Right?
11A.
She might have; but, no, that wasn't the normal situation.
12We always had a mission to go on, and it was probably
13But to my knowledge, it was Mr. Epstein's
Mr. Epstein driven.
14helicopter, yes.
15To your knowledge, it was Mr. Epstein who controlled
Q.
16whether or not the helicopter was flown or not?
17A.
Correct.
Yes.
18Now, you said that when Ghislaine did fly the
Q.
Okay.
19helicopter, you would fly with her as the more experienced
20pilot?
21A.
Yes.
22And you got to know her a little bit from that too, from
Q.
23your shared enjoyment of piloting helicopters, right?
24Yes, we talked a lot about aviation.
A.
25And you remember her as a nice person, right?
Q.
279
- cross
LBUVMAX4
A.
Yes.
Q.
And you felt comfortable around her?
A.
Yes, I did.
4You never saw Ghislaine do anything or say anything that
Q.
5would lead you to believe she was helping Epstein or anyone
6else sexually abuse underage girls?
7A.
No, not at all.
8, you testified before that you have two
Now, Mr.
Q.
9girls of your own.
10A.
That is correct.
11When you started working for Epstein in 1991, how old were
Q.
12your daughters?
13When I started working, well, one was one year old and one
A.
14was not born yet.
15Q.
And in the mid 1990s, how old would they have been then?
16So if you're going to use 1995, so one would be
A.
Mid 1990s.
17five years old and one would be one year old.
18Q.
Okay.
And by the time you get to the mid 2000s, let's call
19it 2004, just to pick a date, how old would they have been
20then?
21A.
Okay.
It's a math quiz.
Let's see.
22Sorry.
Q.
23A.
We're '94. So we're talking 14
11 and 14.
24So I said 2004; is that right?
Q.
252004; correct.
So one would be 14.
One was born in '90,
A.
280
- cross
LBUVMAX4
So, yeah, 14 and 11-ish.
and the other, '94.
So one was a teenager and one was a preteen?
Q.
A.
That's correct.
4Now, your daughters occasionally spent time with Ghislaine
Q.
5on the ranch in New Mexico, especially after you built your
6house there; isn't that right?
7A.
Yes.
8Q.
They loved the animals, I believe, right?
9A.
Yes.
10Q.
Especially the horses?
11A.
Yeah, they are horse lovers.
12Q.
And sometimes Ghislaine would take them riding on the
13horses at the ranch; isn't that right?
14Yes, my daughters did ride at the ranch on the horses, yes.
A.
15Q.
They did that a fair amount?
16A.
Yes.
17And you trusted Ghislaine enough that you felt comfortable
Q.
18letting your two young daughters spent time with her; isn't
19that right?
20A.
That is correct.
21If you had any inkling whatsoever that Ghislaine was
Q.
22involved in helping Epstein sexually abuse young girls, you
23wouldn't have let that happen, would you?
24A.
Absolutely not.
25Q.
And if you had any inkling whatsoever that Ghislaine or

underage girls, what would you have done?
A.
They would have never seen my daughters.
4Q.
And you would have quit your job?
5A.
Reported it, yes.
6Q.
And you would have quit your job?
7I would have quit my job, that's correct.
A.
8But you didn't do that, did you?
Q.
9A.
No, I didn't.
10Because nothing you saw or heard in the roughly 30 years
Q.
11you worked for Epstein ever gave you even the slightest hint
12that anything like that was going on?

this tall thin woman approach us.
Well, she was walking with a

we could pet the dog.
4Q.
What happened then?

Once the man joined her, what happened next?
9A.
We continued chitchat, sort of talked to us.
And the rest

Did you have a conversation with that man and that woman?
14He seemed very interested to know what I
A.
Yes, I did.
15thought about the camp, what my favorite classes were, what my

17was like.
And proceeded to say that they were big benefactors
18of this camp; and that they went there every summer; and that
19they gave different kids scholarships.
And so they wanted to
20really know what a student attending the camp, what their
21perspective was on it.
22What, if anything, else did you discuss with them?
Q.
23A.
Well, they asked me where I was from.

And I said, Well, my father just passed away.
But my
mother's name is.
And he said, I think we know your mom.
It's kind of a
4smaller town.
We definitely know her.
5And I said, You know, my parents were sort of out on
6the scene, and my father was a musician, and so that would make
7sense.
8And he had a newspaper under his arm.
And then he put
9the newspaper on the picnic table and said, Well, what's your
10mom's name?
11Gave my mom's name.
12And he said, Well, what's her phone number?
13And I just kind of went, Okay.
He's asking me for a
14number, so I gave it to him.
And so I gave my mom's, which,
15you know, at the time was just a landline.
16How did that conversation end?

That was it.

8called me.
9And I said, Oh, well, I don't -- oh, that's right.
10I -- I barely remember, because it seemed so long ago.
It was
11maybe four or five or six weeks, but, you know, being that
12young, it seemed like an eternity.
And I said, Yeah, I met

And there was a big spread of, like, pastries and
16sandwiches and tea.
17Q.
What happened during the tea with you and your mother and
18Jeffrey Epstein?
19A.
Well, he was very inquisitive and asked me questions about
20what I was doing in school, what my interests were, what I
21wanted to do with my life, and was asking us about our family,
22asking my mother.
It didn't last very long, I would say maybe
2330 minutes in total.

Q.
What was your understanding at the time of what the
relationship was between Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein?
I didn't really understand.
A.
They never really shared that
4information.
I just assumed that they were married.
And then
5at a certain point I thought maybe they're best friends.
And
6then I thought, Well, maybe she works for him because he would
7ask her to do things, make phone calls and things for him.
So
8I guess I was just confused.
9When you would see Epstein or Maxwell, how were those
Q.
10meetings typically arranged?
11A.
It would be Ghislaine calling the house or Jeffrey's office
12calling the house, like an assistant or something.

boyfriend at school.
Q.
During those first few months, as you were getting to know
4her, how did Maxwell come across to you?

She seemed a little bit odd and quirky; but, you know, she
6would kind of like tease me at times and -- but she was nice.
7How would you describe your relationship with Maxwell those
Q.
8first few months when you started spending time with her?
9A.
In the first few months, I felt like I think she might have
10said, I'm sort of like an older sister.
Because I at least
11thought that she was the same age difference maybe as my oldest
12sister, but I wasn't sure.

17did you ever have any conversations with her about boyfriends?
18A.

19What do you remember her telling you?
Q.
20I just remember her telling me at one point when I said,

22do, that once you fuck them, you can always fuck them again
23because they're grandfathered in.

21Q.
During this time in the first few months when you were
22spending time with Maxwell and Epstein, did they ever tell you

And they would sort of name-drop or
sometimes put people on speakerphone whose voices I didn't know

4just, you know, say that they were very well-connected and
5affluent.

I want to step back and ask you a little bit about your home life during the years we've been talking about. When you were 14 to 17 and living in Florida, can you describe for the jury what your home life was like during those years? A. Well, it was it was not great. My father had just passed away, sort of suddenly, and we found ourselves losing our home and moving into a pool house and not being allowed to grieve the loss of my father and having a very depressed mom at home. Q. I think you mentioned that you felt like you weren't allowed to grieve your father. Can you explain to the jury what you meant by that? MS. MENNINGER: Objection, your Honor. Relevance. THE COURT: Overruled. You may answer. A. Well, I grew up with a mother who didn't allow us to talk about our feelings because that was a sign of weakness. So grieving would be a part of that because she was very concerned about appearance and what we would look like and that you always sort of put a pretty face on. So we really didn't discuss those kinds of things at home and weren't allowed to discuss it with anyone else. So, being a kid and losing your dad and not being allowed to talk about it, not having anyone to talk to about it, it was really difficult.

Maxwell?

We ask that the witness be able to

(Jury not present)

(Witness excused)

THE COURT: Everyone may be seated. Go ahead, Ms. Moe.

MS. MOE: Thank you, your Honor, I'd like to ask the witness about her conversations with her mother during this time period about Epstein and Maxwell. As I think the witness began explaining during this time period, her mother would tell her about how great they were, how enamored she was with them, and that I expect she would say that that had an effect on her. None of that is offered for the truth, but for the effect on the listener.

I think the defense has put at issue in this case why the victims continued seeing the defendant and Epstein and why they didn't tell about what happened to them later, and the circumstances under which all of this was happening, including her home life, the effect of her own mother and how her mother would talk about Maxwell and Epstein are all part of that and it's directly responsive to that issue.

THE COURT: The initial questions that you're asking, you expect the witness to say what exactly was communicated to the witness by her mother?

MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. I expect the witness to testify that her mother encouraged the relationship and would often talk about them favorably and tell them she should be

grateful for everything they were doing for her.
THE COURT:
And you're not seeking to offer that
information for the truth, but for the effect that it had on
4the witness?
5MS. MOE:
Yes, your Honor.
6So you'll accept a limiting instruction?
THE COURT:
7MS. MOE:
Of course, your Honor.
8THE COURT:
Ms. Menninger.
9MS. MENNINGER:
Your Honor, I think the simple way to
10ask the question is, how did you feel, and if it was based on
11something your mother said to you, without getting into the
12content of what the mother had communicated to her.
I think
13it's a real issue that may come up later with things that the
14mother has said to any number of people, and I feel like this
15opens the door to many other conversations that relate to the
16mother.
17So I'm not sure that just asking -- giving a bunch of
18hearsay from the mom, saying we're asking it for the effect on
19the listener and precluding cross examination about other
20conversations with the mom would be appropriate.
21So I don't know what you have in mind
THE COURT:
22coming down the road.
I think it's proffered by the government
23I think there might be a way to
at this point anyway.
24streamline it. Ms. Moe, maybe you could think about that.
25But as proffered by the government, it's not being

offered for the truth, it's being offered for the effect on the listener. I would give the jury a limiting instruction that the witness's testimony regarding what her mother said is not being offered for the truth of those statements, but for the impact or effect that it had on the witness. We'll keep it limited, Ms. Moe, as to eliciting statements for an out-of-court witness, but with that caveat.

And then tell me, Ms. Menninger, what your concern down the road was so I have it in my head.

MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, if you're admitting it with that limiting instruction, I think we'll take up the issues with other statements by the mom when they come up.

THE COURT: Okay.

17 19 20 22 23 MS. MOE: Thank you, your Honor. Just to preview in order to streamline things because we're on the subject, I expect the next few questions to be about the issue of disclosure. In particular, I expect to ask the witness whether there was ever a time when she talked to a guidance counselor when she was a kid and whether she came to learn that her mother had found out that she talked to the guidance counselor, and I want to talk to her about how her mother reacted to that and told her that she should never talk about what goes on in their house.

24 25 We're offering that, again, not for the truth of anything, it's certainly not our position that she shouldn't

have told someone that that is a true statement. It's offered to show the environment in which she was living and how that affected her and affected her decision not to disclose what was going on with her.

THE COURT: But in particular, you want the witness to testify that her mother told her not to report what happened, not to tell anyone what happened. Did I get that right?

8 9 10 11 12 13 14 MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. I expect that she'll testify that she spoke with a guidance counselor after her father passed away, that her mother found out that she had spoken with a guidance counselor and had a very strong negative reaction to that, and told her that she shouldn't be talking about personal family matters and shouldn't be talking about what happens in their household.

THE COURT: Ms. Menninger.

MS. MENNINGER: I have no objection to that, your Honor.

18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 MS. MOE: Thank you, your Honor. THE COURT: Thank you for previewing it. Anything else to take up? MS. MOE: Not from the government, your Honor. THE COURT: Ms. Menninger? MS. MENNINGER: No, your Honor. Not now. THE COURT: We'll take a short break. Thank you. (Recess)
