people that abused Virginia? 
2 
A. 
I told you I never asked her the question. 
11:36:21 
3 
Q. 
Are you aware that years before December 
11:36:48 
4 
of 2014, when the CVRA pleading was filed, that your 
5 
name had come up repeatedly in connection with 
6 
Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of minors, correct? 
7 
MR. SCOTT: Objection, form, overly broad. 
11:37:16 
8 
A. 
Let me answer that question. I am aware 
11:37:17 
9 
that never before 2014, end of December, was it 
10 
ever, ever alleged that I had acted in any way 
11 
inappropriately with regard to 
12 
that I ever touched her, that I ever met her, that I 
13 
had ever been with her. I was completely aware of 
14 
that. There had never been any allegation. 
15 
She claims under oath that she told you 
11:37:48 
16 
that secretly in 2011, but you have produced no 
17 
notes of any such conversation. You, of course, are 
18 
a witness to this allegation and will be deposed as 
19 
a witness to this allegation. I believe it is an 
20 
entirely false allegation that she told you in 2011 
21 
that she had had any sexual contact with me. I 
22 
think she's lying through her teeth when she says 
23 
that. And I doubt that your notes will reveal any 
24 
such information. 
25 
But if she did tell you that, she would be 
11:38:24 
EFTA01116715
Page 24 / 130
94 
1 
absolutely, categorically lying. So I am completely 
2 
aware that never, until the lies were put in a legal 
3 
pleading at the end of December 2014, it was never 
4 
alleged that I had any sexual contact with 
5 
6 
I know that it was alleged that I was a 
11:38:46 
7 
witness to Jeffrey Epstein's alleged abuse and that 
8 
was false. I was never a witness to any of Jeffrey 
9 
Epstein's sexual abuse. And I wrote that to you, 
10 
something that you have falsely denied. And I stand 
11 
on the record. The record is clear that I have 
12 
categorically denied I was ever a witness to any 
13 
abuse, that I ever saw Jeffrey Epstein abusing 
14 
anybody. 
15 
And -- and the very idea that I would 
11:39:18 
16 
stand and talk to Jeffrey Epstein while he was 
17 
receiving oral sex from 
hich she 
18 
swore to under oath, is so outrageous, so 
19 
preposterous, that even David Boies said he couldn't 
20 
believe it was true. 
21 
MS. McCAWLEY: I object. I object. I'm 
11:39:40 
22 
not going to allow you to reveal any 
23 
conversations that happened in the context of a 
24 
settlement discussion. 
25 
THE WITNESS: Does she have standing?

MS. McCAWLEY: I have a standing objection 
and, I'm objecting again. I'm not going to --
THE WITNESS: No, no, no. Does she have 
standing in this deposition? 
11:39:47 
11:39:49 
5 
MR. SCOTT: Let's take a break for a 
11:39:51 
6 
minute, okay? 
7 
THE WITNESS: I'm not sure she has 
11:39:54 
8 
standing. 
9 
MR. SCAROLA: Are we finished with the 
11:39:57 
10 
speech? 
11 
MR. SCOTT: No. If he -- 
11:39:58 
12 
MR. SCAROLA: I'd like him to finish the 
11:39:59 
13 
speech so that we can get to my question and 
14 
then we can take a break. 
15 
A. 
So the question -- the answer to your 
11:40:02 
16 
question is 
17 
MR. SIMPSON: Wait a minute. Wait a 
11:40:04 
18 
minute. Wait a minute. Please don't disclose 
19 
something that she has a right to raise that 
20 
objection if she wants to. 
21 
MR. SCOTT: Exactly. 
11:40:13 
22 
THE WITNESS: Okay. 
11:40:14 
23 
MR. SCOTT: Ask your question. 
11:40:17 
24 
MR. SWEDER: Maybe you want to read back 
11:40:20

A. Truth has many, many meanings and is a 
1 
transcript of the interview? We'd like to see 
2 
continuum. The Supreme Court has held that 
2 
it. 
3
rhetorical hyperbole cannot be the basis• for 
1 
MR. SCAROLA: That's exactly what I gave 
4 
example, of perjury prosecutions or generally of a 
4 
you, the photocopy. 
5 
defamation prosecution. 
5 
MR. SCOTT: We're doing it right now. 
6 
So it depends on the context. You might 
6 
Maybe we can move on and conic back then. 
7
just look at the dictionary and probably get a 
7 
MR. SCAROLA: No, I would like to proceed. 
8
variety of definiticas for it. 
8 
MR. SCOTT: Then let's stop until I get a 
9 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
9 
copy of it. Because he -- I want --
10 
Q. Well, what I'm concerned about, 
10 
MR. SCAROLA: I don't think that's 
11 
Mr. Dershowltz, Is not a dictionary definition. I 
11 
necessary because your client has told us that 
12 
want to know what your understanding of rhetorical 
12 
he has a superb memory and one of the things I 
13 
hyperbok Is. 
13 
would like to know is what he's able to recall. 
14 
And do you agree that pursuant to your 
14 
If he needs to refresh his memory. the 
15 
understanding of rhetorical hyperbole, It Is an 
15 
transcripts will be here in just a moment, but 
16 
exaggeration beyond the facts? 
16 
I don't want to delay going forward. 
17 
MR. SCO•IT: Objection, argumentative and 
17 
MR. SCOTT: Do you need the transcript to 
18 
compound, throe questions. 
18 
refresh your memory? 
19 
A. No.- 
19 
TIIE WITNESS: Well, I have no memory of 
20 
MR. SCOTT: You can answer. 
20 
what specifically I said on a particular day in 
21 
A. -- I would not agree with that definition. 
21 
a particular interview. 
22 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
22 
MR. SCOTT: Since you hate a copy in front 
23 
Q. Okay. Then define it for us, if you 
23 
of him, why don't you just show him your copy 
24 
would, please. 
24 
then? Read the — ask your question and let

A. I think I have already. 
25 
him read it. 
186

1 
Q. I'm sorry, I missed the definition. Could 
1 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
2
you tell us what rhetorical hyperbole is?

Q. Do you recall having been Interviewed on 
3 
MR. SCOTT: Objection, repetitious. He's 
3 
CNN Tonight by Don Lemon? 
4 
done it. 
4 
A. Ycs. I do. 
5 
A. Why don't we just read back my answer. 
S 
Q. Do you recall hating been interviewed on 
6 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
6 
CNN Tonight by Don Lemon In early January of 2015, 
7 
Q. Because I didn't understand it, so I would

like you to try to give us a direct response to that 
8 
subject of thb litigation? 
9
question if you're able to. 
9 
A. Yes, I do. 
10 
A. I will repeat exactly that I said. A 
10 
Q. Did you make the following statement 
11 
rhetorical means verbal and hyperbole means some 
11 
during the course of that interview: "As to the 
12 
exaggeration of the facts for political or other 
12 
airplanes, there are manifests that will prove 
13 
reasons, but generally it is truthful in a literal 
13 
beyond any doubt that I was never on a private 
14 
sense but perhaps -- it all depends on context. 
14 
airplane with Ibis woman or ally other underage 
15 
And if you tell me the context in which I 
15 
girl"? 
16 
used it, I will be happy to describe what I meant in 
16 
MR. SCOTT: You need to see the 
17
that context. But I don't think you can really 
17 
transcript? 
18
answer a question about what two words put together 
18
THE WITNESS: No. No. 
19
mean without understanding the context. 
19 
A. That is a truthful statement. I would 
20 
Q. Okay. Well, we're going to talk about 
20 
repeat it right now. I've reviewed the manifests. 
21 
some context. 
21 
First, I know I was never on the airplane 
22 
Do you recall having been interviewed on 
22 
with any underage woman. I know that for a fact. I 
23
CNN Tonight on January 5, 2015? 
23 
have absolutelyno doubt in tny mind about that And 
24 
25 
A. I have no current recollection of --
MR. SCOTT: Do you have a copy of the

airplane flights with Jeffrey Epstein. They have me 
1 
to the transcription, the official transcription of 
2
on a number of flights, none-- let me emphasize. 
2 
that testimony, was that, quote: 
3
none within the relevant time period, none within 
3 
"Let me emphasize that the manifests that 
4 
the relevant time period. That is. there are no 
4 
do exculpate me do not show me flying wit 
5
manifests that have me on Jeffrey E 
eon's airplane 
5 
not show me flying with a 
6
during the time t 
ants to 
6 
women." 
7 
have -- falsely c 
th me. 
7 
That was the testimony you gave under 
8 
So. yes, not only recall making that 
8 
oath. Do you stand by that testimony today? 
9
statement, but I repeat it here today. And it is 
9 
A. The manifests that I saw corroborate my 
10 
absolutely t 
what I know. 
10
own memory -- my own memory is as clear as could 
11
and that is t 
up the Mire 
11 
be— that I never saw any inappropriately aged, 
12 
story, 
12 
'Wagged women on any airplane to my knowledge that 
13 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
13 
were visible to me at any time that I flew. That is 
14 
Q. Your Statement — 
14 
my testimony. yes. 
15 
MR. SCOTT: What page arc you reading 
15 
Q. Well, that's not a response to the 
16 
from? 
16 
question that I asked. Is it your testimony today 
17 
MR. SCAROLA: Page 5. 
17 
that you never flew on a private airplane with, 
18 
Q. Your statement was that you were never on 
18
quote, "any young women"? 
19
a private airplane with this woman, which I assume 
19 
MR SCOTr: Objection, foam 
20 
was a referc 
et 
20 
A. By young women, I obviously meant in Mat 
21 
A. It is, 
21 
context underage women. And underage women in the 
22 
Q. Or any other underage girl? 
22 
context of sexuality. And, yes, I — I stand by 
23 
A. Thai's right. 
23 
that statement. 
24 
Q. All right. How many times — 
24 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
25 
A. Well, let me be very clear. I have no 
25 
Q. Affright So your — your elarificadon 
190 
192 
1
idea who was in the front cabin of the airplane with 
1 
of your earlier testimony is that you never saw any 
2
the pilots. Obviously what I intended to say and 
2 
young women in a sexual context? 
3
what I say here now is I never saw an underaged 
1 
A. Th3es not clarification. I think that's 
4 
person on an airplane. 
4 
what I initially said. That's what l initially 
S 
Now, when I — when I flew with Jeffrey 
5 
intended. And that's the way a ny reasonable — any 
6
Epstein to the launch, my recollection is that there 
6 
reasonable person would interpret what my original 
7
may have been a couple on the plane with their child 
7 
testimony was. So I don't believe my original 
s 
who was going to see the launch. But that was 
8 
testimony required anyclarification. 
9
certainly not the context in which I made the 
9 
Q, So what you meant to convey by the 
10
statement 
10 
statement that you made when you said you never flew 
11 
I never saw any underage, young person who 
11. 
with any underage girt or any young women was you 
12 
would be the subject or object of any improper 
12 
never flew with any underage girl or young women in 
13 
sexual activities. Had I seen Jeffrey Epstein ever 
13 
a sexual context? 
14
in the presence of an underage woman in a context 
14 
MR. SCOTT: Objection, Than. 
15
that suggested sexuality. / would have, A, left the 
15 
BY MR SCAROLA: 
16 
scene; B, reported it; and. C, never had any further 
16 
Q. Is that correct? 
17
contact with Jeffrey Epstein. 
17 
A. Let me simply repeat the fact and that is. 
18 
Q. You have also made the statement that you 
18 
to my knowledge. I never flew on an airplane or was 
19
were never on a private airplane with any underage 
19 
ever in the presence on an airplane with any 
20 
women or any young women, correct? 
20 
underage warn who would be somebody who might be in 
21 
A. Thc context was underage woolen in a sexual 
21 
a sexual context. I say that only to eliminate the 
22 
context. If it was a — you know, a four-year-old 
22 
possibility that some four-teat...3H was on the lap 
23 
child being carried by her mother. that would not be 
23 
of a mother or somebody was on the airplane with 
24
included in what I intended to say. 
24 
family members. 
25 
Q. Your sworn testimony yesterday, according 
25 
But, no, trio 001 recall — and flu very

1
firm about this — being on an airplane with anybody 
1 
A. I don't remember that I flew with her or 
2
who I believed could be the subject of Jeffrey 
2 
not. I may have. But I don't recall necessarily. 
3
Epstein or anyone else's improper sexual activities. 
3
But I did meet -- I remember meeting a woman named 
4 
MR. SCAROLA: All right Let's mark the 
4 
'is does not look like 
ke the 
5 
transcript that we've been referring to as 
5
woman I 'net. 
6 
Exhibit Number I, please. That's the 
6 
Q. Okay. So that's a — that's a different 
7 
transcript of the television interviews that 
7

And your clients.

question? 
11 
clearly convinced me, having now considered it, 
11 
THE WITNESS: Yes, I do. 
12 
that it is absolutely necessary. 
32
A. It was a statement based on what I 
13 
MR. SCOTT: Okay. Now -- 
13 
believed were the facts at the time I said them. 
14 
BY MR SCAROLA: 
14 
Various newspapers and Hogs had placed

Q. So now could I get an answer to my

Bill Clinton on, quote, 'orgy island" on -- in the 
16 
question —

presence ofJeffrey Epstein when there were orgies. 
17 
MR. SCOTT: Now that we have -- 
17
And at the time I made that statement, I had a 
18 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
18 
belief that she had accused Bill Clinton of

19

20 
is spelled exactly the same way as the last name in

at the time I made that statement.

the witness will answer it.

MR. SCAROLA: I will repeat the question.

205 
1 
the source of that honest belief was? Identify any 
2 
source that attributed to 
.he 
3 
statement that Bill Clinton was with her at an orgy 
4 
on Jeffrey's island. 
5 
A. We can provide you about, I think, 20 
6 
newspaper articles and blogs which certainly raise 
7 
the implication that Bill Clinton had improperly 
participated in sexual activities on the island 
9 
either as an observer or as a participant. The 
10 
issue was raised on Sean Hannitys program. The 
11 
headlines in various British media had suggested 
12 
that 
13 
It's my belief th 
14 
intended to convey that [monism 
was 
15 
trying to sell her story to various media, which she 
16 
successfully sold her story to in Britain. that she 
17 
wanted to keep that open as a possibility. 
18 
And then when I firmly declared, based on 
19 
my research, that Bill Clinton had almost certainly 
20 
never been on that island, she then made a finn 
21 
statement that she -- which was a -- which was a 
22 
perjurious statement, a finn penurious statement 
23 
saying that although Bill Clinton had been with her 
24 
on the island and had had dinner with her, the 
25 
perjurious statement was that Bill Clinton had been 
207 
Clinton on orgy island, things of that kind. I 
2 
would be happy to provide than for you. I donl 
3 
have them on the top of my head. 
4 
Q. There's a big difference between saying 
5 
that Bill Clinton was on Jeffrey's Island and saying 
6 
that Bill Clinton was at an orgy on Jeffrey's 
7 
Island, isn't there? 
8 
MR. SCOTT: Objection --
9 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
10 
Q. Do you recognize a distinction between 
11 
those statements? 
12 
MR. SCOTT: Font 
13 
A. I don't think that distinction was ekarty 
19 
drawn by the media. 
15 
BY MR. SCAROLA: 
16 
Q. I'm asking whether you recognize the 
17 
distinction? 
18 
A. Oh. I -- I certainly recognize a 
19 
distinction. 
20 
Q. Oh, so — 
21 
A. Let me finish. I certainly recognize a 
22 
distinction between Bill Clinton being on the 
23 
island, which I believe she perjuriously put in her 
24 
affidavit. and Bill Clinton participating actively 
25 
in an orgy. I also think it's a continuum. 
206 
1 
on the island with her. 
2 
The lie was that she described in great 
3 
detail a dinner with Bill Clinton and two underaged 
4 
Russian women who were offered to Bill Clinton for 
S 
sex but that Bill Clinton turned down. 
6 
So she then put in her affidavit that 
7 
although -- perjuriously, although she had seen Bill 
8 
Clinton on that island, she then stated that she had 
9 
not had sex with Bill Clinton. To my knowledge, 
10 
that was — to my knowledge at least, that was the 
11 
first time she stated that — that she not had sex 
12 
with Bill Clinton. She had certainly implied, or at 
13 
least some of the media had inferred from her 
14 
statements that she may very well have observed Bill 
15 
Clinton in a sexually compromising position. 
16 
So, when I made that statement to Don 
17 
Lemon. 1 had a firm belief, based on reading 
18 
newspaper accounts and blogs. that it was true. 
19 
Q. Canyouidentify a
le newspaper that 
20 
attributed 
 the statement that 
21 
Bill Clinton was with her at an orgy on Jeffrey's 
22 
island? 
23 
A. I think there -- I don't have them in my 
24 
head right now. But I do recall reading headlines 
25 
that talked about things like, sex slave places 
208 
1 
And there is the possibility, which I 
2 
don't personally believe to be true, that he was on 
3 
the island. There was the possibility, which I 
4 
don't believe to be true, that he was on the island 
5 
when orgies were taking place. There was the 
6 
possibility that he was on the island and observed 
7 
an orgy, and there was the possibility that hens 
8 
on the island and participated in on orgy. 
9 
Newspapers picked up those stories. Ill 
10 
give you an example of a newspaper that actually 
11 
said that that she had placed or that I was on the 
12 
island and -- that I participated in an orgy along 
13 
with Stephen Hawkings {sic.), the famous physicist 
14 
from Cambridge University, that was a newspaper 
15 
published in the Virgin Islands, which falsely 
16 
claimed that I was at an orgy with Stephen Hawkings. 
17 
So. many newspapers were suggesting, 
18 
implying, and I infened from reading those 
19 
newspapers that that's what she had said to the 
20 
media. 
21 
If I was wrong about that based on 
22 
subsequent infonnatiai. I apologize. But I 
23 
certainly, at the time I said it. believed it and 
24 
made the statement in good faith in the belief that 
25 
it was an honest mammal.

There's no production of these documents. And

For purposes of discovery, you know her name, you
