VIDEOGRAPHER: Going back on the record. 
2 
The time is approximately 1:05 p.m. 
3 
MR. INDYKE: This is Darren Indyke. If it 
4 
would be okay with everyone, I would like to 
5 
clarify a couple of points for the record. 
6 
SPECIAL MASTER POZZUOLI: Go ahead. 
7 
MR. INDYKE: First, I apologize for the 
8 
spotty reception during the morning session. I 
9 
was having difficulty hearing you folks, and I 
10 
think you were having some difficulty hearing 
11 
me. I think I've corrected it, but if I could 
12 
ask if you could move the mic closer to him 
13 
somehow or if I let you know that I can't hear, 
14 
if somebody could just speak up. 
15 
MR. SCAROLA: Did we turn that speaker 
16 
volume up? 
17 
MR. SIMPSON: Let's turn up the volume. 
18 
MR. INDYKE: Secondly, as to the argument 
19 
that work product belongs to the attorney and 
20 
not the client, I want to make sure that it's 
21 
clear that we disagree with that vehemently. 
22 
We believe that it is a client's every bit 
23 
as much as an attorney's and an attorney has no 
24 
right to waive that privilege over the 
25 
objection of a client. If that were true, 
EFTA01137798
Sivu 6 / 187
Page 467 
1 
there would be nothing improper with an 
2 
attorney publishing his entire case file over 
3 
the objection of his client with the exception 
4 
of communications back and forth between 
5 
attorney and client. Strategies, witnesses, 
6 
things like that could be disclosed over the 
7 
objection of a client, and that's just not the 
8 
case. 
9 
So for the record, Mr. Epstein reasserts 
10 
the work product privilege and would continue 
11 
do so. And I would instruct Mr. Dershowitz not 
12 
provide any response to any question that would 
13 
require Mr. Dershowitz to invade that 
14 
privilege. 
15 
Third, I guess as to the joint defense 
16 
agreement, it is our position that any party to 
17 
the joint defense agreement may assert it, and 
18 
it doesn't require disclosure of all parties to 
19 
the agreement in order for the assertion to be 
20 
valid. 
21 
I would note that disclosure of the 
22 
parties to a joint defense agreement are often, 
23 
by the terms of a joint defense agreement, 
24 
subject to confidentiality and, thus, protected 
25 
by the privilege. 
EFTA01137799
Sivu 7 / 187
Page 468 
1 
And I would also point out that it's not 
2 
necessary for a person to be a party to a joint 
3 
defense agreement for the communications with 
4 
that person by a lawyer who is making those 
5 
communications on behalf of the client party to 
6 
the agreement to be subject to the joint 
7 
defense agreement. 
8 
And while we need to do some more 
9 
background research to get the full details of 
10 
the joint defense agreement, I would -- for 
11 
those reasons, to the extent that any 
12 
disclosure in response to any questions posed 
13 
to Mr. Dershowitz would require Mr. Dershowitz 
14 
to invade that joint defense agreement, we 
15 
would instruct -- we would object and instruct 
16 
that Mr. Dershowitz not respond. I think that 
17 
covers everything that I have. 
18 
SPECIAL MASTER POZZUOLI: Thank you. 
19 
Let's proceed. 
20 
MR. SCAROLA: Before we proceed, I want to 
21 
note for the record that the various 
22 
transcripts of statements made by 
23 
Mr. Dershowitz that had been requested during 
24 
the earlier session of the deposition were 
25 
marked as Exhibit Number 1 to the prior 
EFTA01137800
Sivu 8 / 187
Page 469 
1 
sessions of Mr. Dershowitz's deposition. 
2 
I believe that everything that was 
3 
referenced has been disclosed. To the extent 
4 
that opposing counsel identifies anything that 
5 
is not included in Composite Exhibit Number 1 
6 
previously marked, we would be happy to provide 
7 
a copy of that as soon as a copy --
8 
MR. INDYKE: Is that Mr. Scarola? 
9 
MR. SCAROLA: It is, yes. 
10 
SPECIAL MASTER POZZUOLI: Hang on. Speak 
11 
up a little bit, Jack. 
12 
MR. SCAROLA: Certainly. As soon as a 
13 
copy that does not include work product 
14 
notations is available, and the portions of 
15 
statements made by Mr. Dershowitz not included 
16 
in Exhibit Number 1 are identified to us, we 
17 
will provide those. 
18 
MR. SCOTT: I think what we most want, 
19 
Jack, are the -- I think we have one 
20 
transcript, but I think there's another 
21 
transcript of the bench and Bar that we need. 
22 
MR. SCAROLA: There are multiple 
23 
transcripts included in Exhibit Number 1. 
24 
MR. EDWARDS: If there are transcripts 
25 
that you need that are not included in Exhibit 
EFTA01137801
Sivu 9 / 187
Page 470 
1 
Number 1, tell me. I'll get them to you, and 
2 
I'll get them to you tomorrow since we're here 
3 
again. 
4 
MR. SCAROLA: I just want the record to 
5 
reflect that I believe that everything that 
6 
we've made reference to is included in Exhibit 
7 
Number 1. If I'm incorrect in that regard, you 
8 
let us know what it is, we'll give it to you. 
9 
SPECIAL MASTER POZZUOLI: Darren, anything 
10 
on your end? You okay? 
11 
MR. INDYKE: Yep. 
12 
SPECIAL MASTER POZZUOLI: I would welcome 
13 
the parties just to get together to make sure 
14 
they have a complete set of what they need, and 
15 
we'll go from there. 
16 
MR. EDWARDS: Absolutely. Just for the 
17 
record, my only real objection was not turning 
18 
over what I had marked and my work product. 
19 
SPECIAL MASTER POZZUOLI: I understood. 
20 
MR. EDWARDS: I'll get everything to him 
21 
tomorrow. 
22 
SPECIAL MASTER POZZUOLI: I took it that 
23 
way.

Q. 
Going back to testing the credibility of

and things that she has said, was 
she lying when she said that she has flown on 
Jeffrey Epstein's airplane? 
MR. INDYKE: Objection. Work product and 
5 
common interest. 
6 
A. 
I think I can answer that question. Based 
7 on material that was produced in discovery, which 
8 would not be subject to privilege, there seems to be 
9 evidence that she did fly on the airplane with 
10 Jeffrey Epstein. 
11 
BY MR. EDWARDS: 
12 
Q. 
Was she lying when she says that she was 
13 flown on Jeffrey Epstein's airplane across state 
14 lines at a time when she was under the age of 18? 
15 
A. 
I have no idea. 
16 
MR. INDYKE: Objection. Same objection. 
17 
Work product and attorney-client and common 
18 
interest. 
19 
A. 
I have no idea. But, again -- I just have 
20 no idea. 
21 
BY MR. EDWARDS: 
22 
Q. 
Is there any nonprivileged information 
23 that you could review that would give you an idea to 
24 answer that question or that would give you the 
25 answer to that question? 
EFTA01137803
Sivu 11 / 187

1 
A. 
I imagine there would be if there were 
2 videotapes. I've always said from the beginning, I 
3 hope there are videotapes of every moment in 
4 
' life, because they would exculpate 
5 me completely. So I hope there are videotapes. 
6 
Q. 
Aren't you aware that there were 
7 videotapes that were taken within your client 
8 Jeffrey Epstein's various homes? 
9 
MR. INDYKE: Objection. Work product, 
10 
attorney-client. Common interest. 
11 
SPECIAL MASTER POZZUOLI: Carve out the 
12 
privileged issue and non-privileged, if he 
13 
gained information through a nonprivileged 
14 
source. 
15 
BY MR. EDWARDS: 
16 
Q. 
Well, the statement was -- which I was not 
17 going there. The statement was, if there are 
18 videos, I want them all out there? 
19 
A. 
Absolutely. 
20 
Q. 
So, isn't it true that you know that there 
21 were indeed videos taken from within your client's 
22 various homes? 
23 
MR. INDYKE: Same objection. 
24 
BY MR. EDWARDS: 
25 
Q. 
Privileged or nonprivileged. 
EFTA01137804
Sivu 12 / 187
Page 473

MR. SCOTT: Asked and answered in the last 
2 
depo. 
3 
A. 
I hope there were videos. I hope there 
4 are videos of every moment of 
life 
5 from the time she allegedly met Jeffrey Epstein to 
6 the time she left. I hope there were videos in 
7 every bedroom. I hope there were videos in every 
8 massage room. I hope there are videos all over. 
9 
And from day one, I categorically stated 
10 that there could be no photograph, no video that 
11 
would demonstrate that what she said was true, 
12 because I knew it was false. She knew it was false. 
13 And you knew it was false. 
14 
BY MR. EDWARDS: 
15 
Q. 
In representing a client, don't you try to 
16 determine or ascertain what evidence does exist that 
17 may incriminate or exonerate any particular client? 
18 
A. 
Of course. 
19 
Q. 
Okay. In making that inquiry in this 
20 case, haven't you learned that there are --
21 
SPECIAL MASTER POZZUOLI: Which case? 
22 
BY MR. EDWARDS: 
23 
Q. 
In the case in which you represented 
24 Jeffrey Epstein, haven't you learned that there were 
25 video recordings taken from within Jeffrey Epstein's 
EFTA01137805
Sivu 13 / 187
Page 474 
1 
various homes as well as his airplane? 
2 
MR. INDYKE: Objection, same objection. 
3 
Instruct him not to answer. 
4 
A. 
I hope there were. 
5 
BY MR. EDWARDS: 
6 
Q. 
Will you then assist us 
7 
A. 
Yes. 
8 
Q. 
-- in obtaining those videos from your 
9 client? 
10 
A. 
I will assist you in  getting any possible 
11 videotapes of 
or any of the 
12 locations where the false accusation against me was 
13 made. I would be thrilled to have videos of every 
14 moment of my life during that period of time, and 
15 every moment of her life. Because they would prove 
16 conclusively that which I know to be conclusively 
17 false, namely that she made up the stories about me. 
18 
Q. 
Okay. Just so I understand your 
19 agreement, is that --
20 
MR. INDYKE: Just so we're clear, 
21 
Mr. Epstein is not waiving any of his 
22 
objections as to any such information to the 
23 
extent that it exists. 
24 
BY MR. EDWARDS: 
25 
Q. 
Okay. Well, this video or photograph --

if :here are videos or photographs of

that you will assist us in obtaining? 
A. 
I will try my best to try to get every 
possible --
MR. INDYKE: Objection. 
A. 
-- photograph -- I'm entitled to say what 
I'll try to best to do. I will try my best to get 
every possible video, photograph, and any other 
piece of objective evidence because I know it will 
all completely prove beyond any doubt that I wasn't 
there. 
BY MR. EDWARDS: 
Q. 
And if that information has already 
exchanged hands -- that evidence has already 
exchanged hands from Jeffrey Epstein's hands to the 
hands of his attorneys, as part of their work 
product, would you agree to waive your work product 
privilege to produce that evidence? 
MR. SCOTT: Objection. 
MR. INDYKE: Objection. 
A. 
I don't have any such evidence. I wish I 
did.

BY MR. EDWARDS:

Q. 
With respect to the search warrant that 
3 was executed on Jeffrey Epstein's house, isn't it 
4 true that just before that search warrant was 
5 executed, the -- Jeffrey Epstein's legal team 
6 ordered that three computers be removed from Jeffrey 
7 Epstein's home that contained pornographic images, 
8 including those of 
9 
A. 
I made no such order. 
10 
MR. INDYKE: Same objection. And instruct 
11 
not to answer. 
12 
BY MR. EDWARDS: 
13 
Q. 
I didn't ask if you made the order. Isn't 
14 it true that that occurred? 
15 
MR. INDYKE: Same objection. 
16 
MR. SIMPSON: Darren? 
17 
SPECIAL MASTER POZZUOLI: I'm not so sure 
18 
you can waive that objection. 
19 
A. 
I wish I could. 
20 
BY MR. EDWARDS: 
21 
Q. 
Didn't the U.S. Attorney's Office issue 
22 grand jury subpoenas to the investigators that were 
23 working on Jeffrey Epstein's behalf and were holding 
24 those computers, and those grand jury subpoenas 
25 outstanding at the time that the case resolved? 
EFTA01137808

Page 477 
1 
A. 
All I can say --
2 
MR. INDYKE: Same objection and 
3 
instruction. 
4 
A. 
-- is I wish every video, every computer, 
5 I wish everything that would show where 
6 
was had been turned over and would be turned 
7 over. 
8 
MR. SCAROLA: Mr. Dershowitz's repeated 
9 
comments about what he wishes would happen are 
10 
an indirect statement that if he could answer 
11 
the questions, the responses that he would give 
12 
would be favorable to him and would exonerate 
13 
him. 
14 
His wishes are not the subject of the 
15 
inquiry. And every occasion on which he 
16 
expresses a wish and refuses to give an answer 
17 
is unresponsive to the questions that are being 
18 
asked, and should be stricken. 
19 
They also constitute a waiver to the 
20 
extent that they imply that if the question 
21 
could be answered, the answer would be 
22 
favorable. 
23 
I would ask you to instruct --
24 
MR. INDYKE: And to the extent that they 
25 
imply a waiver --
EFTA01137809

SPECIAL MASTER POZZUOLI: Hang on a

second. Let him finish. 
3 
MR. INDYKE: I apologize, Mr. Scarola. 
4 
MR. SCAROLA: That's quite all right, 
5 
thank you. 
6 
I know that over the speakerphone, it's 
7 
difficult, and I take no offense to the 
8 
interruption. I know it was inadvertent. 
9 
But I would ask that the witness be 
10 
instructed to discontinue that improper 
11 
assertion of statements of opinion when no 
12 
opinions are being requested. 
13 
SPECIAL MASTER POZZUOLI: Counsel, do you 
14 
have a response? I think Mr. Scarola is done. 
15 
MR. INDYKE: My response is to the extent 
16 
that you're attempting to imply anything 
17 
from -- imply a waiver from Mr. Dershowitz, 
18 
Mr. Epstein does not waive, and instructs 
19 
Mr. Dershowitz that he can make no such waiver. 
20 
THE WITNESS: I have not refused to 
21 
answer. 
22 
SPECIAL MASTER POZZUOLI: Hang on one 
23 
second. Let me say this: I would suggest that 
24 
I don't take such inference that he's waiving 
25 
based upon his general statements.

What -- we have been down a little bit of 
2 
this road this morning on trying to get to what 
3 
appears to be privileged information or 
4 
information that -- or activity that was 
5 
undertaken or not undertaken during the course 
6 
of the representation, the relationship -- the 
7 
attorney-client relationship between 
8 
Mr. Dershowitz and Mr. Epstein. 
9 
And at this point, based upon the 
10 
objection, I will uphold the objection and 
11 
we'll move forward. 
12 
MR. SCAROLA: The second part of my 
13 
request is that Mr. Dershowitz be instructed to 
14 
refrain from expressing a desire to answer 
15 
questions. It's not responsive. It implies 
16 
that if he could answer, the answers would be 
17 
favorable. 
18 
The implication is improper, and the 
19 
insertion into the record of the implication is 
20 
improper. If he can't answer the question, he 
21 
should simply say he cannot answer based on 
22 
privilege. 
23 
THE WITNESS: Can I respond? 
24 
SPECIAL MASTER POZZUOLI: No. Let me

think that you should be responsive 
4 
specifically to the question if you can. 
5 
Where you can't, you state you can't. I 
6 
believe that the record is now full of your 
7 
views on some of this in a generic way, and so 
8 
with that said, I would ask that you be more 
9 
pointed with your answers. 
10 
THE WITNESS: I appreciate that. I just 
11 
want to comment that I did not ever refuse to 
12 
answer any of those questions. It was 
13 
instructed not to answer any of those 
14 
questions. 
15 
SPECIAL MASTER POZZUOLI: I do understand 
16

17 
would like to get through this within the time 
18 
alloted.

MR. EDWARDS: Me, too. Thank you.

it in my mind right now, so I can't answer that

Q. 
The flight logs were previously marked

7 
Q. 
-- as Exhibit 7 to the deposition. I'll 
8 show you pages from Exhibit 7 which indicate the 
9 dates of the flight logs for those on the phone 
10 November 2002 through January -- sorry, 
11 November 2000 through January 2001 and January 2001 
12 through February 20th, 2001.

SPECIAL MASTER POZZUOLI: Counsel? 
14 
MR. SCOTT: Okay. 
15 
A. 
Yes, I see the flights that you have 
16 marked in green.

BY MR. EDWARDS:

Q. 
Do the flight logs indicate 
19 
as a passenger on Jeffrey Epstein's plane 
20 with Jeffrey Epstein? 
21 
A. 
Well, the first one I look at does not. 
22 It has J.E., G.M. and E.T. Although it's 
23 underlined, it doesn't suggest
24 The second one does say J.E., G.M., E.T., 
25 
And the fourth and fifth ones say
