Please do not respond to or click on links/attachments unless you recognize the sender. Her criminal lawyers have told me that until the criminal proceedings are done she is asserting her fifth amendment rights. So if you want substantive testimony you will have to wait. Out of curiosity have any of your clients been criminally pursued for their role in recruiting for Epstein? My client never did any recruiting which is far worst than anything she is accused of. And in any event, mid-May given the current crisis will not work. Dan Daniel J. Kaiser Kaiser Saurborn & Mair, P.C. EFTA00030316

Hello Daniel, It is my understanding that you now represent and are willing to accept service of a subpoena on her behalf. If I am incorrect, kindly let me know. It is also my understanding that she will no longer be asserting her 5th Amendment Privilege. Accordingly, I am attaching a subpoena for her deposition and a Schedule A for documents that we will need from Ms _in advance of her deposition.
