I don't remember. Q. At your house? A. No. I'm thinking it was Jack Goldberger's office, or it may have been downtown at the Palm Beach County Courthouse or something in that area there. Q. Okay. So it either happened at an attorney's office that represented -- A. Exactly, yeah, I think so. Q. -- Jeffrey Epstein or the other side? A. Yeah. Q. And during that questioning, is that when you turned over the passenger manifest from prior to 2005? A. Yes. Q. And you turned those manifests directly over to Jack Goldberger? A. Yes.

I'm not suggesting that you are or you are not. I'm just saying from the appearance of this, it looks that way. Is there anything else that you want to tell me or that you want to clarify in terms of the role that you play in Jeffrey Epstein's life outside of being just his pilot? MR. REINHART: Let me object to form. He also told you he installs the audio and video equipment before. MR. EDWARDS: Correct. THE WITNESS: I have an interest in boats. You know, with the island, I don't think I bought any boats, you know, for the company, but he appreciates my opinion on boat purchases. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. A.

Is there any other boat that you know of Jeffrey Epstein being the primary user of or the primary controller of? A. I mean, there's boats in St. Thomas. I mean, it's not part of my job, you know, what goes on with the boats or who controlled them. It's more of an opinion of what horsepower should be on the back of the boat, hull designs. It's out of my area. Q. But your sole responsibility or your sole obligation that you have ever had with Jeffrey Epstein relative to boats is just giving some opinions about the boat? A. Mm-hmm. Q. Is that yes? A. Yes, yes. Q. Okay. All right. Has he ever given you his opinions about boats? A. Sure. We've discussed it back and forth. Q. Other than boat conversations, have you ever talked other conversations, such as A. Cars. Q. Okay.

Has anybody ever questioned you about your possible involvement with helping to facilitate Mr. Epstein have sex with underage girls? A. No. Q. When you were questioned by either the police or the -- whoever the investigative resource that was being used at the time? A. Right. Q. Do you remember who that person was that was questioning you?

PHONE ATTORNEY: This is everybody in Boone, Charles and the witness is here and the court reporter and the videographer. MR. EDWARDS: Fantastic, but I think that you may have the wrong room. PHONE ATTORNEY: I was told to ask for 856. MR. EDWARDS: Let's go off the record. (Off the record discussion.) BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. All right. In the complaint, I'm going to tell you what it alleges and I'm going to ask if this helps to refresh your recollection about any of Jeffrey Epstein's activities. The defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, transported the plaintiff to another state in order to engage in sex acts with her. And this occurred when she was merely 15 years old. Do you remember transporting somebody that looked like they were 15 years old on your airplane? A. No, sir. Q. You never remember taking a 15-year-old, or somebody that looks around that approximate age, on your airplane? 3527-003 Page 144 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009819 EFTA00159626

Well, I know that you've indicated earlier in the deposition that you remember some girls under the age of 18 on the airplane. And so let me ask, before I get back into this, whether all those individuals you were talking about were accompanied by a parent or some of those people were on the airplane for some other purpose, modeling, or you don't know why they were there? I'm going to let you elaborate on who these people are that you believe may have been under the age of 18 and why you think they were on the airplane? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: We've had younger people on the airplane that have been, you know, with their family members, like you said. I don't remember transporting anybody that was of questionable age. I'm not -- I'd only be guessing at somebody's age if I didn't ID them at the foot of the airplane. So I can't guess to their age. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. All right. 'Mr. Epstein used his private jet to transport the minor plaintiff to Manhattan where he provided her spending money and accommodations with him at his mansion."

And you don't remember being a pilot of an airplane where he was transporting a 15-year-old to Manhattan from Miami or Palm Beach? A. No. I'd be guessing at somebody's age and I can't guess. Q. "Defendant transported plaintiff in his private jet to locations that included Palm Beach, New York City, Santa Fe, Los Angeles, San Francisco, St. Louis." Do you remember ever piloting his airplane to those destinations that I just mentioned? MR. REINHART: Can we break them down? Objection; compound. MR. EDWARDS: Okay. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Have you ever flown his airplane to Palm Beach? A. Yes, sir. Q. Okay. Have you ever flown it to New York City? A.

A. (Witness shakes head.) Q. You have to a yes or no. A. I'm sorry, no. Q. "Each time they would travel to one of these destinations, the same pattern of sexual abuse would occur, often with a vast array of aspiring models, actresses, celebrities, and/or other females, including minors from all over the world." Again, that's something you have no personal knowledge of? A. No. Q. Has anybody ever indicated that if you did have personal knowledge of some of these things, then you could also have been implicated in some form of a crime? Has any law enforcement or anybody ever indicated that to you? A. No. Q. Okay. Is that something you've ever worried about? A. No. Q. All right.

Did you ever leave in one of his airplanes out of Turkey? A. I'd have to look at the records. I don't recall Turkey. O. Do you ever remember taking any minor girls out of Turkey? A. No, I don't remember. Q. What records would you have to look at to see if you took people out or left out of Turkey? A. I'd have to look at the flight logs, but I personally don't remember flying into Turkey. Q. And would the flight logs coming into the United States from Turkey indicate the names of the people on the plane? A. They might. Q. Okay. Where would I get those particular flight logs that would have that information? A. Depended upon what year you're talking. Q. We're talking in this particular complaint between 1998 and 2002. A. I'm not -- I don't possess those passenger manifests. Q. Do you know who would possess those? A. That would be I guess -- MR.

Actually, I didn't give them to anybody. Dave Rogers was in possession of those logs. So I don't know where they are right now. Q. You're still thinking that the best evidence of that, any flight that may have left out of Turkey, would be in the flight logs that's marked as Composite Exhibit 1, or are we talking about the manifests that we've been referring to? A. I don't know how accurate that log book is or even how accurate the passenger manifest is. Q. Okay. So there may be no actual documentation indicating a flight leaving out of Turkey when, in fact, a flight may have left out of Turkey? A. Correct. Q. Okay. The Czech Republic is the next place listed. Is that a place you've flown to or from in a Jeffrey Epstein airplane? A. More specific, could you name the city? Q.

Would you have listened to him if he had told you -- if he had instructed you to do that? A. I don't understand the question. Q. Well, if he told you wait until after 10 p.m., I realize there's going to be a fine, but wait until after 10 p.m. to leave, intentionally leaving after 10 p.m., do you remember that instruction ever -- A.

If you had been aware that Mr. Epstein was -- and by this -- this is more in the form of a hypothetical, and that I'm not going to suggest to you it's a fact that he was. But if you had been aware that every single day Jeffrey Epstein's goal was to locate underage girls for the purposes of sex, and either have sex with them on the airplane or at some other designation that you were destination that you were traveling him to, would you have continued to pilot those planes?

What difference does it make? Form. MR. EDWARDS: What difference does it make in a case about him having sex with little girls? I'm not going to argue with you about it. You've stated your objection.

You know, we got major maintenance on the big airplane, so we discussed that a little bit. And then it was really just how uncomfortable he was there. Q. How long did you visit with him on that first visit, July 3rd? A. I think we stayed the full hour. was? Q. All right. Is that what the time allotment A. I believe it is, yeah. I don't think you could leave early, or I'm not aware that you could leave early, until later on we found out you could stay for five minutes or longer. But I don't think any of us knew that was -- once you got in there, you stayed there for the hour. Q. Okay. So you talked to him for an hour and for the most part it was just about the conditions and his disappointment with the conditions? A. Sure, yeah, absolutely. 3527-003 Page 163 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009838 EFTA00159645

You're going back a little ways again to remember exactly what was discussed. You know, he asked how his family was doing. I guess Igor's got a son, I think he asked how his son was doing. You know, just general questions like that. Q. Did you ride to the jail that day with Igor? A. I believe we did. I believe I met Igor probably at Jeffrey's house and picked him up, or if not, we may have met at the airport and drove together. But we did drive together on that occasion. Q. In what vehicle did you drive? A. The Hummer. Q. That's the vehicle you described earlier as the company vehicle? A. Yes, sir. Q. Is that a vehicle paid for by Jeffrey Epstein? A. Meaning? Q. Well, is that a vehicle paid for by you? A. What do you mean "paid for"? Q. Did you purchase the vehicle with your money? A. I didn't purchase that one, no. Q. Do you know if it was purchased by Jeffrey Epstein or a corporation of Jeffrey Epstein's? A. Probably a corporation. 3527-003 Page 164 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009839 EFTA00159646

To the best of your knowledge, that's how most of the items that you've discussed -- that being the Boeing and the Gulfstream -- they were usually held in corporate names, to your knowledge? A. To my knowledge, exactly, yes. Q. And so when you're saying the -- when you're calking about the Hummer vehicle and you're stating that it's likely a corporate entity, is that just something that you're guessing about, or do you have knowledge? A. No, I'm just guessing. Q. Okay. A. I have no proof -- Q. -- of ownership of who it's registered to or anything like that? A. Exactly. Q. Is it registered to you? A. No, no. Q. So it's registered to somebody other than you? A. Exactly. Q. Okay. A. I just drive it, I guess. Q. Okay. So on July 5th, 2008, you go back to 3527-003 Page 165 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009840 EFTA00159647

Did you go with him together on that occasion? A. I didn't even realize it was two days after the first visit. Q. Well, I mean, you see where this is going? A. Yeah, I do. It gets further apart, yeah. Q. Do you remember what the discussion was on 7/5/DS? A. No, because it's probably similar to the first one. I mean, we talked -- actually, one of the visits we talked about fishing and just trying to -- you know, we were talking about things that would just occupy his mind with intelligent conversation that he probably wasn't getting there. So for that hour of the day, I tried to give my best of intelligent conversation to him. Q. Okay. On his visitor log you were the first one to go visit him. Did you know that? A. I did not know that. I wasn't aware of that. MR. CRITTON: Let me just object to form to the last question. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Well, at least if these records are accurate, which are the records that were provided to us by the 3527-003 Page 166 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009841 EFTA00159648

A. Right. There may have been earlier dates. I have no idea. Q. Well, you know, the first date that he could have been in there it looks like was 7/1/08 and then, you know, so I guess somebody could have seen him 7/1 or 1/2, but those records were never provided to us. You see we were provided a whole big stack. A. I understand. Q. The next date I'm going to talk to you about is 7/12/08. A. Uh-huh. O. It looks, again, like it's yourself and Igor Zinoviev? A. Mm-hmm. Q. And that's something we talked about in this deposition. I'm going to ask you again, I don't know that you elaborated last time, what is your understanding of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein? Is that a friend of his? A. I don't know his job description. I mean, he's somebody that's around a lot, but I don't know his exact job description. His English is, to say, not 3527-003 Page 167 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009842 EFTA00159649

So I don't Q. So on these three visits to the jail, the first three that we're talking about that we've talked about so far, each of those times you traveled to and from the jail with Igor? A. Mm-hmm. Q. Yes? A. Yes, yes. Q. And each of those time, is it fair to say you had some form of communication either on the way to the jail or A. Sure. Q. -- to the jail? A. Yeah. Q. Since you're going to see an inmate in the jail, is it a safe assumption a portion of that conversation was about the person that you're going to see and possibly the crime that was committed? A. Yes, that would be a good assumption. Q. Okay. And what was the form -- what was the substance of that conversation that you can remember related to Jeffrey Epstein and the location you were going to visit him? 3527-003 Page 168 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTAJW0009843 EFTA00159650

I think Igor and I discussed on trying to be upbeat and not look at the position that he's in sitting across the table from us, to be upbeat and uplift his spirits. Q. Did you and Igor discuss whether or not you were going to talk to him about his plea of guilty or the fact that he's not registered as a sex offender? A. No. Q. Or whether you were going to stay away from those topics? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: We never -- we don't discuss that amongst ourselves and/or with Jeffrey in any way, form. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. But that's not -- I realize you didn't discuss that. You've told me that. A. Right, but we didn't discuss that even prior to going in, as you asked. Q. Okay. So your discussion was mainly hey, let's be upbeat? A. Yes. Q. And that was to, in essence, maintain his spirits or raise his spirits? A. Exactly. 3527-003 Page 169 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009844 EFTA00159651

I felt honored that he asked me to come and give support like that, because prior to him going away, it was known to us that there was going to be no visitors, because I had offered to him that I would be happy to come and visit him if he deemed it necessary, and he says no, I'm not going to have anybody. Q. So -- A. I guess it was so bad there, that he may have changed his mind and wanted to have some visitors. Q. When did you have this conversation with him where he indicated he was not going to have visitors while he was in jail? A. I don't exactly remember. It may have been on the trip heading to Palm Beach, the last flight. Q. From his island, from St. Thomas I guess it would be from? A. I forgot where it started from. It might have been New York or the island, one of the two. I don't remember the last flight. Q. And I mean, did at least the fact come up that hey, this a person who you're is going to be in jail for some time? A. Mm-hmm, yes. 3527-003 Page 170 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009845 EFTA00159652

And in the course of that conversation, again, the allegations and the unusual I'll call it case against him, that didn't come up between you and Mr. Epstein? A. I never talked about it with him. Q. And at that point in time, what were you aware of in terms of the number of girls that he was alleged to have had sexual some sort of sexual relationship with him at his Palm Beach house? A. What was the question? How many girls? Q. Yeah, how many girls were you -- A. Aware of? Q. -- aware of? A. None. I wasn't aware of any, to be honest. O. The next visit is on 7/17/08 and it's Igor Zinoviev and somebody named Jean Rene and then yourself. Do you know who Jean Rene is? A. No. Q. Do you think that that visit, that you visited him at the same time that Jean Rene visited? MR. CRITTON: What's the date? MR. EDWARDS: It's 7/17/08. THE WITNESS: No, I don't know a Jean Rene, unless somebody came after. I mean, I don't -- I don't know a Jean Rene. 3527-003 Page 171 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009846 EFTA00159653

Mm-hmm. Q. Mainly those two individuals. And they list as addresses, A. Uh-huh. as their residence? Q. Given your previous testimony, does that surprise you that they list those that address as their residence? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: I've seen them there, so I mean, I'm not surprised. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. Did you know that they were visiting him in jail? A. No, I didn't know who was scheduled to see him or whatever. Q. Did Jeffrey talk to you at any point in time about or A. No, not at all. MR. REINHART: Can we get a time frame for that? Ever? MR. EDWARDS: Oh, no, well, I was talking -- 3527-003 Page 172 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009847 EFTA00159654

I was talking right now about in the conversations that you had with him that we've discussed with you and him in the jail facility. Did he discuss with you A. No, no. Q• or Did he talk to you about whether or not you should talk to anybody about his criminal investigation or possible litigation? A. No, not at all. Q. The next time you see him is on August 9th, 2008, at the jail. In that occasion it mentions as his visitors that day and Larry Visolli. Did you go to the jail with and that time? A. No. Who was on there? Which one are you referring to? Q. The next one, I tried to highlight them just that A. Right, that one. MR. REINHART: 8/9. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. 8/9/08? A. One of those two we all drove together. I 3527-003 Page 173 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009848 EFTA00159655

It was either the 9 or the 16, and then the other one I met everybody there. So I can't be accurate on which time we all drove together. Q. How did you coordinate driving together? A. I don't exactly remember now. I mean, I think and I may have conversed on the phone and said do you want to meet at Jeffrey's house and we all drive together? Does it make sense to get together and drive one car. Q. Is that jail visit the result of Jeffrey Epstein requesting your presence there, or is that the result of you wanting to go see him as a friend in jail? A. A combination of both. I'm sure if I said, Hey, I'd like to come to jail and visit you, that he would either say yea or nay. Q. Okay. And you said at least on one of those occasions you rode to and from the jail with and A. Yes. Q. And during any of obviously, when you're in the car together -- well, who's driving the car? A. I was driving, I believe. Q • And that's the Hummer again? A. Actually, I think we take one of the suburbans 3527-003 Page 174 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009849 EFTA00159656

I don't know who owns them. Q. What cars are there that -- I know with this 175 case we're dealing with a lot of corporations and it's not like asking me, Hey, what car do you own? But what cars are you aware that are -- that you believe are used primarily by Jeffrey Epstein? A. Used primarily by Jeffrey Epstein, a Mercedes S500 sedan. I don't remember the year on that one. Q. Okay. A. There's a Cadillac Escalade. Q. Okay. A. Those are his two main cars that he would be driven in Q. What are the other cars that you regularly see parked at his Palm Beach mansion, if there are any? A. It would be a whole array. Half the time the parking lot is full because of construction workers, yards keepers. Q. Okay. Fair enough. What vehicle does drive or drive when they're down here, if you know? A. I mean, anybody has a choice to pick out a car 3527-003 Page 175 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009850 EFTA00159657

Is that different than the Mercedes S500 sedan? A. Yes, I think it's different. Q. When you say they have basically a choice of cars to drive -- A. Well, there's cars in the lot there. Q. Obviously, they can't get in one of the construction workers' cars? A. No. MR. REINHART: Let him finish his question. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. So that's kind of what I'm getting at. What other cars do you think that Jeffrey Epstein has -- whether it's titled, I don't know -- A. Right. Q. but he is the person in control of that vehicle? A. Right. Q. What other vehicles do you think he's controlling in Palm Beach? A. In Palm Beach? Q. We've named the Mercedes S500 sedan, Cadillac Escalade? 3527-003 Page 176 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_UXX0851 EFTA00159658

In addition to that, are there any others that you're aware of? A. That he's in control of? Q. Yes. A. No. Q. And does the conversation come up between and and yourself about the reason why Jeffrey Epstein is in jail? MR. REINHART: Can we get a time frame? MR. EDWARDS: At any time. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. At any time have you ever had that exact conversation ever come up? A. No, we didn't talk about that among ourselves really. Q. And have you ever been told that provides the role of a sex slave to Jeffrey Epstein? That's just her role in life? MR. CRITTON: Form. MR. REINHART: That's just have you been told that.

EDWARDS: Q. Do you have any -- based on your observations, do you have any other opinion as to what role she plays in Jeffrey Epstein's life, if any? A. I don't have an opinion on what the role is. Q. Do you agree with the criminal statutes that are in place to protect young children from sexual predators? Do you agree with those statutes? MR. CRITTON: Form. MR. REINHART: I'm going to direct him not to answer the question. It's irrelevant and it's not likely to lead to discoverable evidence what his opinion is on a law that's been passed by the legislature of Florida. MR. EDWARDS: Just so the record is clear, I don't know that we did this last time, but it's been alleged in the complaint it has been alleged in several complaints that Jeffrey Epstein particularly prays on vulnerable disadvantaged females, underage females, and that in order to gain access to the multitude of underage females, 3527-003 Page 178 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_UHK0853 EFTA00159660

And that's why this line of questioning regarding whether or not this witness has a motive or a bias or was involved in conversations related to his motive or bias, to continue to work for Jeffrey Epstein or believed the same beliefs of Jeffrey Epstein, is at least reasonably calculated to the lead the discovery of admissible evidence, and that is the argument at least along those lines being made to the judge regarding these questions. MR. CRITTON: Can we talk for just one minute? Because maybe -- can I talk with -- well, I know I can talk with Bruce. Let's just take a break. (A break was had at 2:45 p.m.) MR. EDWARDS: We're back on the record. Do you have the same position? MR. REINHART: Let me say this: He previously said he would have never allowed anything on the plane to be done illegally. If you want to ask if he agrees with the law applied by the legislature -- do you agree the law passed by the 3527-003 Page 179 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009854 EFTA00159661

EDWARDS: Q. Okay. The laws in place to protect children under the age of 18 from being sexually touched, fondled, molested by people over the age of 24, do you agree with those laws? A. Yes. Q. And you agree that persons who commit a violation of those laws should be prosecuted? A. Persons that do that. MR. CRITTON: Form. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Yes, persons that do that. A. Persons that do that, absolutely. Q. And if you were to receive confirmed -- what you would perceive as confirmed information that Jeffrey Epstein was one of those persons, would you continue to be employed by or alongside of Jeffrey Epstein? MR. CRITTON: Form; speculation. THE WITNESS: You're assuming that there's quilt. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. No. I'm saying, hypothetically, if you were convinced that Jeffrey Epstein was guilty of those acts 3527-003 Page 180 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009855 EFTA00159662

REINHART: Can we -- for purposes of your hypothetical, what facts do you want him to assume are true? You said the facts to which he pled guilty, but the witness already said he doesn't know what he pled guilty to. He knows the charge he doesn't know the facts. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Solicitation of prostitution of a minor, somebody under the age of 18. MR. EDWARDS: That's the charge, right, solicitation of prostitution of a minor? MR. CRITTON: No. I think you've got it wrong. I'll object to the form. MR. EDWARDS: Okay. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Then we'll handle the question this way: If you were to believe based on information and evidence that Mr. Epstein engaged in sex or some form of sex acts with people of the age range of 12, 13, 14, 15 years old, would you continue your employment with Mr. Epstein? MR. CRITTON: Form; speculation. THE WITNESS: I would certainly be speculating 3527-003 Page 181 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009856 EFTA00159663

I don't think I could give you a correct and honest answer at this time. BY MR. EDWARDS: O. Okay. Given the allegations that have been made in this case, is this something that you have discussed with anyone other than your attorney? A. No, not really. Only from the fact that they're allegations and there's still a lot more work, I 'm sure, to be discovered. MR. CRITTON: Let me put on there, for the -- if this deposition is not typed -- and we request it -- I'd like at least this portion where Mr. Edwards' last question back about five pages worth, so just if you could mark it from this page back about five pages. If nobody requests the deposition, I'd just like those five pages. MR. EDWARDS: I'm going to request the deposition, so.. . MR. CRITTON: Okay. We'll mark this then, so you could tell me where it is, approximately. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Is there a reason why you have not discussed with Jeffrey Epstein the allegations that have been made 3527-003 Page 182 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009857 EFTA00159664

Is there any reason why you haven't discussed that? MR. REINHART: If that's based on conversations you had with your lawyer, then don't disclose what you and your lawyer talked about. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Correct. A. I have not spoken to Jeffrey about any of this, and it was my understanding that is illegal to have conversation about this. So I've never presented any questions to him reference this case or any others. Q. It was your understanding that it was illegal to talk to Jeffrey Epstein about the allegations made against Jeffrey Epstein? A. Yes, or anything to do with the case. That's why we never discussed any portions of it. Q. Okay. So -- A. I may be wrong in that assumption, but I don't -- Q. So the reason why you haven't discussed this with Jeffrey Epstein is you believed it was illegal? A. Correct, yes. Q. Who led you to believe that it was illegal? 3527-003 Page 183 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009858 EFTA00159665

REINHART: Again, if it was a discussion you had with any lawyer, then you can just give a name, don't give a discussion of the conversation you had. THE WITNESS: It was my own assumption. mean, just basic criminal knowledge of knowing you're not supposed to -- you know, if somebody's in trial or in a deposition or whatever, I don't -- I didn't think it was appropriate to discuss the matter with them. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. So the next two visits and I think the last two visits we'll talk about are on 9/6/2008. Actually, it looks like you visited him twice in one day; is that right? A. I don't think that's possible. I mean, that will show how accurate the court record is. There's no way. Q. You wouldn't have visited him twice in one day? A. No. I think there's only one visitation per day. Q. Okay. And it looks like the same visitors each time, except that it says for period three and then the next one's for period four. So there are two 3527-003 Page 184 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009859 EFTA00159666

No, not to my knowledge. Q. Okay. So again, it's and , same questions: Did you ever ask them their involvement with Jeffrey Epstein? A. Absolutely not. Q. And again, what was the discussion with Jeffrey Epstein along with and A. On the last visits, it was mainly airplane stuff and later on in the visitations, we were advised that you could leave early, so I would only stay for maybe 30 minutes and then, you know, Jeffrey would continue his conversations with them and then I would just wait outside. Q. Okay. A. So I would do my business with him talking about airplanes or whatever I had coming up and then exit. Q. And then why did you stop visiting him in jail after that September 6th, 2008, visit? A. I was never called back to visit. Q. Okay. Well, shortly after that then he was on work release? 3527-003 Page 185 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009860 EFTA00159667

Because he testified he had phone conversations and personal visits. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. I was actually talking about phone conversations.

A. More specific? D. Sure. A. Depends upon what's going on that week. O. I mean, is it somebody you would talk to him every day? A. No. O. All right.

June 30th, 2008. MR.

EDWARDS: Q. Structural, architectural, anything like that, changes to the house, to the interior of the house since he went to jail? A. No. I mean, if you could be more specific. mean, you're talking furniture or? Q. I've never been in the house, so I can't be much more specific.

THE WITNESS: Can we go back to that one? BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Sure. The question dealt with the structural architectural changes you're aware of. A. There has been a kitchen extension, but when you asked the question, I was unaware of when that actually took place. So to be accurately answering your question, I know there's been a kitchen extension. don't exactly know when that transpired, but... Q. How do you know about the extension? How do you know this happened? A. I knew what the kitchen looked like before and after the extension and I don't -- I thought it was during the hurricane season when they actually did that extension. Q. Who made you aware of it? A. Nobody. I just walked in the kitchen and noticed a bigger room than what it was. Q. All right. Do you know who Martin Nowack is? A. No. Q. Do you ever remember him being on your airplane, or that name of somebody being on your airplane? 3527-003 Page 190 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009865 EFTA00159672

Something you still drive? A. Occasionally. It's kind of a beat up car now, so it's kind of a knock around. Q. Best of your knowledge, it stays parked at your house? A. Recently it's been in Jeffrey's driveway, but.. . Q. Why? A. Just for an extra car to use. Q. For Jeffrey to use? A. No. I mean, for anybody that would come to the house to help out. Igor I think has driven the car before. Q. How did it come about that you began to park the Chevy Suburban, the 1999 car that we're talking about, at Jeffrey's house? A. When there was more activity here in West Palm Beach. We were never usually coming here that often, and now with all this going on, with Jeffrey being in town longer, we needed more cars and transportation. So my car was just sitting in the driveway at home while I was driving the Hummer. So I decided to let them use the Hummer at the house. 3527-003 Page 194 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009869 EFTA00159676

Well, you said for him to use. MR. CRITTON: Hold it. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Is there a reason why? MR. CRITTON: Wait. You guys are both talking over one another. You need to let him wait and finish his question because if I want to assert an objection, neither one of you gives me a chance, which may be the plan. Form. MR. EDWARDS: Yeah, we have a conspiracy against you. MR. CRITTON: I knew it. I'll take that as an admission. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Is there any reason -- did Jeffrey say that he wanted that vehicle to use or to be parked at his house? A. No. Q. Then how did it come about that you started parking that vehicle at his home? A. I think the origination of that came when I started using the Hummer, that the Suburban was parked in my driveway and I wanted to get it out of my driveway as an eyesore. So hence, I decided to let people at the 3527-003 Page 195 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009870 EFTA00159677

But when you go to park the car at somebody else's house, you have to let them know, Hey, I'm giving you the keys? A. Mm-hmm. Q. Who did you give the keys to? A. I don't know if I gave the keys to anybody. I may have just left them on the counter there and told Yanush this is an extra car if you guys needed it to run around because it was an eyesore at my driveway. Q.

Who purchased the car in your name? A. Well, I put the car in my name, but the funds came from -- they were wired to my account from New York. Q • From whom, though? A mysterious source just sent funds? We know that didn't happen, so I'm just trying to elaborate here. A. Jeffrey had paid for the car. Q. Okay. And why did Jeffrey pay for a car and put it in your name? A. I don't know. Q. I mean, you had to agree for this to happen. So what was the conversation between you and Jeffrey that resulted in Jeffrey paying for a Land Rover, a 2008 Land Rover and putting it in your name? 3527-003 Page 197 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009872 EFTA00159679

He just says we want to buy an '08 Land Rover and put it in my name. So we did. I didn't ask any further questions. Q. Did this conversation happen when he was in jail or after he was out? A. Meaning out on house arrest? Q. Right. A. When you say "out" I think of the Science Foundation. On work release, so you have to be more specific. Q. You tell me what happened, when the conversation happened relative to where Jeffrey was at the time. A. I'd only be guessing again. I would say this probably happened a year ago, maybe less than a year ago. I'd have to look. I don't remember exactly the -- Q. So it was either at a time when he's at the Florida Science Foundation or possibly on house arrest? A. It was -- no, it was definitely before house arrest.

That car also is a Palm Beach house car to be used at the house. Q. What does that mean, 'a Palm Beach house car'? A. It's a car that we park in Jeffrey's driveway for people to use. Anybody that comes to the house can select a car to go anywhere. I mean, run errands, go shopping, do whatever they need to do. And that was purchased the same way. It was in my name. Q.
