I didn't refuse anything. I didn't feel I had any obligation to respond to you. And I did not. Q. So, you were asked to waive the statute of limitations with regard to your sexual crimes and you refused to respond? A. I was asked by you, utterly inappropriately, and what I had said -- and if you check what I said, I said if any reasonable prosecutor were to investigate the case and find that there was any basis, I would then waive the statute of limitations. I didn't waive the statute of limitations because you, a lawyer, for two unprofessional, unethical lawyers asked me to do so, what obligation do I have to respond to you? Q. Well, you have no obligation to respond to me at all, Mr. Dershowitz, except now while sou are under oath and I am asking you questions and I would greatly appreciate you responding to the questions that I ask. MR. SCOTT: I think lies trying. 235 1 Q. And by dropping the dint on the media when 2 they Bled it, you Intended to convey the message 3 that Paul Cassel: and Bradley Edwards intentionally 4 generated the focus of press attention on that filing; is that correct? 6 A. Absolutely. Absolutely without any doubt. 7 Why else would they have brought Prince Andrew into this filing? Prince Andrew had no connection to the 9 NPA. no relevance at all. But they knew that by 10 including Prince Andrew. this would ding my name 11 into every single newspaper and media outlet in the 12 world. 13 It Was outrageous for them to do this. 14 Particularly because they did so little, if any, 15 investigation, which will, of course, be determined 16 when they're deposed. And -- and -- 17 Q. Well, you've already made that 18 determination, right? 19 MR. SCOTT: Wait. 20 A. I'm convinced that -- that they did little 21 or no investigation. They never even bothered to 22 call me. That would have been -- 23 BY MR. SCAROLA: 24 Q. We'll get to that in just a moment. 25 A. -- a simple basic thing. 234 1 BY MR. SCAROLA: 2 Q. You made the further statement in that 3 sane Interview, "They dropped the dime on the media 4 when they filed it," referring to the CVRA 5 pleading -- 6 A. Right. 7 Q. —in which were you named? 8 A. Right. 9 Q. What is the basis for that statement? 10 A. The basis for that statement was that the n filing was done virtually on the eve of New Year's 12 on a day that the press was completelydead. And 13 nonetheless. immediately upon the filing, I got a 14 bamge of phone calls that led me to conclude and 15 led many, many, many other lawyers who called me to 16 conclude that obviously somebody tipped somebody off 17 that they didn't just happen to file -- to find in 18 the middle of an obscure pleading which didn't even 19 have a heading that indicated that I was involved or 20 anybody else was involved. 21 So, I'm certain that a dime was dropped to 22 somebody saying, by the way, you want an interesting 23 story. there's Prince Andrew of Great Britain and 24 Alan Dershowitz have been accused of sexual 25 misconduct. I still believe that 236 Q. But right now — right now could you 2 please tell us was there anything other thau your 3 inferring that they must have contacted the media to 4 support your conclusion that either Paul Cassell or 5 Brad Edwards did, in fact, alert the media at the 6 time of the filing of this pleading? 7 A. Yes. 8 Q. What else besides your inference? 9 A. When the BBC cant to see me, the BBC 10 reporter showed me an e-mail from Paul Cassell, 11 which urged him, the BBC reporter. to ask me a 12 series of questions. So I knew that Paul Cassell 13 was in touch with the British media and was trying 14 to stimulate and initiate anbarrassing questions to 15 be asked of me. 16 And when I spoke to a number of reporters, 17 they certainly -- obviously reporters have 18 privilege, but they said things that certainly led 19 me to infer that they had beat in close touch with 20 your clients or representatives on their behalf. 21 Q. What was the date of the e-mail — 22 A. 'don't know. 23 Q. — that you referenced in that response? 24 Q A. Imrdoeinli.1 know. 25 15 (Pages 233 to 236) www.phippsreporting.com (888)811-3408 EFTA01116733

241 (Discussion off the record.) 2 THE WITNESS: What's Number 6 then? Tin 3 confused. there were two. 4 BY MR. SCAROLA: 5 Q. Have you ever seen Exhibit Number 6 6 before? 7 A. Exhibit Number 6. I don't believe so. It 8 doesn't look familiar to me. 9 Q. No? 10 A. It does not look familiar to me. 11 Q. Did you bother at any time to review 12 discovery that was produced by Bradley Edwards and 13 Paul Cassell responding to requests for information 14 that supported the allegations 15 A I'm not clear what you're as mg. 16 Q. I want to know — 17 A. In which case? In which case am we 18 talking? 19 Q. This case. This case. 20 A. Right. 21 Q. Did you ever bother to review the 22 discovery produced in this case responding to 23 requests for all of the information that supported 24 their belief in the truthfulness of Virginia 25 Roberts' allegations against you? 243 1 exonerated by any flight logs that were innocent — 2 that were complete and accurate, of course. 3 Q. So you made the public statements 4 repeatedly that the flight logs would exonerate you 5 without having examined the flight logs to see 6 whether they were accurate or not; is that correct? 7 A. Well, I knew — I knew that — 8 Q. Did you say those things without having 9 examined the flight logs? 10 A. I said those things having looked at some 11 of the flight logs al some point in time. But I 12 knew for sure that the flight logs would exonerate 13 me because new was v r on Jeffrey Epstein's 14 plane wit any other young 15 underage sir s. . -new at to an absolute 16 certainty. And I was prepared to say it. fm 17 prepared to say it again under oath here. 18 And if your clients had simply cal led me 19 and told me they were planning to do this, we 20 wouldn't be here today because I could have shown 21 them in one clay that it was impossible for me to 22 have had sex with their client on the island, in the 23 ranch, on the airplanes, in Palm Beach. And they 24 would have, if they were decent and ethical lawyers. 25 not filed that. 242 1 A. I don't know if I reviewed everything. 2 But I certainly, in preparation for this deposition. 3 reviewed some of the documents that were produced in 4 discovery. But I can't say I reviewed them all. 5 Q. Well, having placed such substantial 6 emphasis during the course of your public 7 appearances on the flight logs exonerating you, it would certainly seem logical that one of the things 9 that you would want to review would be all of the 10 available — all of the available flight logs, 11 right? 12 A. No. 13 MR. SCOTT: Objection. argumentative. 14 A. No. 15 BY MR. SCAROLA: 16 Q. No? 17 A. No. Look, l knew I was never on a plane 18 with any underage females under any circumstances. 19 I knew that. I knew that as certainly as I'M 20 sitting here today. So, I knew absolutely that if 21 the manifests and the flight logs were actuate. 22 they would. of course, exonerate me because I am 23 totally, completely, unequivocally innocent of any 24 of these charges. 25 So of course l knew that l would be 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 244 And there arc cases, legal ethics cases that say that lawyers arc obliged to make that phone call. lawyers are obliged to cheek if it's easy to check. lawyers are obliged to. particularly when the/re making extremely heinous charges against a fellow lawyer, do rely, very, detailed investigations. And they didn't do that in this case. Q. 1 will represent to you that I have handed you all of the available flight logs produced in the discovery of this case. Could you show me, please, which of these flight logs exonerates you? A. The absence of evidence is evidence of absence. None of the Ili t have me on an airplane wit None of the flight logs haven n the relevant period of time when iris that she had sex with me in the presence of another woman. So. the flight logs clearly exonerate me. There's absolutely no doubt about that. Q. Well, the flight logs, in fact, confirm that you were in the same places at the same time as ~on•t they? A. No, they do not Q. Do you — do you deny that they confirm 17 (Pages 241 to 244) www.phippsreporting.com (888)811-3408 EFTA01116735

And Mr. Search will by to. you know, keep the emotion down, rm sure, so we can get through this with less acrimony between everybody here A. Your client has adamantly refused, as well as the lawyer -- BY MR SCAROLA: Q. No, sir, that's nonresponsive to my question. MR. SCOTT: Wait a minute. BY MR. SCAROLA: Q. My question is: Do you deny that the flight logs corroborate place at the same time 1111/Ill A. So the question i and, therefore, I must answer in this way. Your client -- Q. How to build a watch? MR. SCOTT: Wait a minute, you're cutting him off. He's been trying to answer the 247 1 ious to sec any tinrframes when 2 claims she was with me on the 3 is ,cams was with mc on -- at the ranch, 4 claims she was with me on the airplanes, claims she 5 was with me in Palm Beach. And they will all 6 conclusively -- 7 Q. You forgot - 8 A. 9 10 also? 11 A. No, I did not mean New York -- 12 Q. Oh. okay. 13 A. -- because New York is ray different I 14 was, in fact, in New York for large periods of time. 15 I was not in fact. on the island during the 16 relevant timcframc. I was not in the airplane in 17 the relevant timeliame. I was not in Jeffrey 18 Epstein's Palm Beach home in the relevant timeframe. 19 And I was once in the ranch but under circumstances 20 where it would have been absolutely impossible for 21 me to have had any contact with her. 22 So if you will give me the timeframe, I 23 will be happy to answer your question. But without 24 timcframcs, that question is an absolutely 25 inappropriate question. And the answer to it is no. — New York. Didn't you mean New York 246 1 question. 2 A. Yotr client has adamantly refused, an:liter 3 lawyers and your clients have refused to give me any 4 timcframes, any timcfratnes when your client claims 5 that she had improper -- falsely claims, 6 panniously claims that she had improper sexual 7 encounters with me. 8 So how can you possibly ask mc a question 9 that includes the w rd "tenet-Tames" when your client 10 has refused whe s refused to 11 give any time fram ossiblc that 12 the flight logs show me being in the same tint and 13 were place with her when she has refused to describe 14 any of the time that she claims to have been in 15 those places? 16 So the answer to the question is 17 categorically no, sir. 18 BY MR. SCAROLA: 19 Q. What Is the question that you are 20 answering no to? 21 A. Whether or not the tuneframe shows that I 22 could have been in the same place at the same lime 23 as your client. Absolutely not. Because we don't 24 know what times your client now, if you know 25 that, you should have produced them in discovery and 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 248 Q. Well, Mr. Dershowltz, it might be inappropriate if you had not repeatedly made the public statements that the flight logs exonerate you. A. They do. Q. So what I am attempting to find out is the basis upon which you can contend that the flight logs exonerate you if you are now telling us you don't even know when it is that you are alleged to me place at the same time as Q. So how — how can you make both those statements? ausc I know the timeframe the , knew Jeffrey Epstein. And during that tinyframe. I can conclusively prove that I was never on Jeffrey Epstein's island where she claimed to have sex with nt. That the only time I was at the ranch was with my wife, with the Ask family, with my daughter, the house was under construction, we just simply stayed outside the house and looked around. That the manifests show I was never on Jeffrey Epstein's plane during that period of tin*. And the manifests show that I never 18 (Pages 245 to 248) www.phippsreporting.com (888)811-3408 EFTA01116736

Which of the manifests are you referring 2 of time. 2 to when you claim what you have claimed about the 3 So I have a timeframe not that was 3 manifests, Exhibit Number 6 or Exhibit Number 7? 4 provided by your client but that was provided by the 4 A. I can only tell you that I have reviewed 5 externalities of the case. And that timeframe 5 the manifests and they show, to me, that I was never 6 coupled with the manifests clearly exonerate me 6 on Jeffrey Epstein's airplane during the relevant 7 without any doubt 7 period of lime. That's Al can tell you now. 8 Q. I want to make sure that I understood what 8 Pm not in a position where I look at all 9 you just said. "I never flew down to Palm Beach 9 these documents now.

So you want to withdraw the 14 documents purporting to be flight manifests for 15 statement that you never flew down to Palm Beach — 15 Jeffrey Epstein's plane. When you made the public 16 MR. SCOTT: Objection. 16 statements that you mode regarding the flight logs 17 BY MR.

I have no recollection as to which 20 MR. SCOTT: Objection. 20 particular exhibits, which are formed for purposes 21 BY MR. SCAROLA: 21 of the legal case. I had reviewed. I know I had 22 Q. — and what you want to say is, "I never 22 reviewed the manifests. Not only had I reviewed the 23 flew down to Palm Beach and stayed at Jeffrey 23 manifests, but others reviewed the manifests and 24 Epstein's house during that timeframe period," 24 have conclusively told me that their review of the 25 correct? 25 manifests shows that I was right. 250 252 1 MR.

In interviews on January 4 and January 5, 5 you claim to have completed the necessary work to 6 Identify documents exonerating you within an hour 7 after learning of the accusations that were made, 8 correct? 9 A. I don't remember having said that. But 10 within a minute, I had clear knowledge that every 11 document in the world would exonerate Inc because I 12 knew fort absolute certainty that every aspect of her 13 allegation was totally false. That's why I 14 challenged the other side to produce videos, to 15 produce photographs. I knew that there could be no 16 evidence inculpating me because I knew I was 17 innocent. So I knew that all of my records would 18 prove that. 19 Facts arc facts. And I just wasn't in an 20 contact or any sexual contact wit 21 and I knew with absolute certainty that the facts 22 would completely exonerate me. And if your clients 23 had just called me, at the courtesy of simply 24 calling me, I would have been able to point them to 25 Professor Michael Potter of the Harvard Business 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 39 20 21 22 23 24 25 263 A.

So why don't we take a break, hen review transcript and well come back? We've been going an hour -- MR. SCAROLA: Because I haven't asked him a question about the transcript. MR. SCOTT: You've asked -- MR. SCAROLA: I'm asking him a question about his recollection. MR. SCOTT: Based upon what he said in the transcript MR. SCAROLA: No. fm asking him whether he has a recollection of having madc public statements that within an hour, he had gathered the documents that proved his innocence, exonerated him. 262 1 School. I would have been able to to alert them 2 to the Ashes. I would have been able to tell them 3 that I keep little black books which have all of my 4 travel information. Although they were in the 5 basement of Martha's Vineyard, I would have been 6 happy to go up and get them. 7 If they had just simply called me, I would 8 have been able to persuade them without any doubt 9 that these allegations were false. If they needed 10 any persuading because I believe. as I sit here 11 today, that they knew they were false at the time -- 12 certainly should have known, but I believe knew they 13 were false at the time that they leveled them. 14 Q. My question related to your gathering 15 documents that you claim exonerated you -- 16 A. That's right. 17 Q. — and your public statements were that 18 within an hour, you — 19 A. Can you 20 Q. — had gathered the documents — 21 MR. SCOTT: Listen to the question. 22 BY MR. SCAROLA: 23 Q. --you had gathered the documents that 24 exonerated you, correct? 25 MR. SCOTT: You can refer. 264 1 BY MR. SCAROLA: 2 Q. Do you remember having made those 3 statements? 4 A. I do not, but it's true. I was able to 5 gather documents literally within an hour. I was 6 able to call Tom Ask. lie was able to access his 7 daughter's journal notes that I had taught his 8 daughter's class. I was able to find out where my 9 other documents were. 10 My wife made some phone calls immediately. 11 We called the Canyon Ranch. We called and 12 determined the dates of when I was in Florida. We 13 called the Porters. We very. My, very quickly 14 were able to gather information that conclusively 15 would prove that she was lying about me having had 16 SG( with me on the island, in the ranch, 17 particularly those two I was able to prove 18 conclusively. 19 And when a woman lies deliberatelyand 20 willfully about two instances where she in great 21 detail claims she had had sex, I think you can be 22 clear that you should discount any other any 23 other false allegations. 24 MR.

I want to know what information 24 25 you had regarding what Bradley Edwards and Paul 25 271 Cassell had done in the course of their invest' ' ' y of the accusations made ;dust you? A. Well, list and oremost, the most important piece of information I had was my Finn and complete knowledge and memory that I had never had any sexual contact with odor any circumstances or a . So I knew -- Q. The question I'm asking, sir — A. this infatuation — Q. — focuses on what knowledge you had regarding what Bradky Edwards and Paul Cassell did In the course of their investigation of the credibility of the accusations against you made by A. That was the first and most important bil of information namely, that I couldn't have done it and didn't do it. So I knew for sure that they could not have conducted any kind of valid investigation. Second. I knew from — that they also Ind a later from Mr. Scuola that said that multipk witnesses lad placed me in the preserec of Jeffrey Epstein and underage girls and I knew (hat 272 Mr. Scarola's letter was a patent lie. And they had access to that letter and that information. I also knew they were relying on depositions of two house people of Jeffrey Epstein. And I've read these two depositions. And I'm sure I knew of other -- other information as well. I knew that they had stated -- I knew that they had slated publicly, or you had stated publicly on their bchalf as a witness, that you had stated publicly that you had tried to depose me on these -- on this subject. I knew that that was a blatant lie and unethical conduct because nobody ever tried to depose me on this subject. I had never been accused, nor did I have any knowledge that anybody had ever falselyaccused me of having any sexual encounters. And I had a great deal of information about the paucity or absence of any legitimate investigation. And I also knew that they hadn't called nc. they hadn't tried to call me, there was no record of an attempt to call me or c-nuil Inc. My e-mail is available on my website.

Not 4 even asking for a hearing on it, not even basically 5 seeking to prove it. just --just putting it in a 6 pleading as if scrolling on a bathroom stall. 7 So, yes, I had -- I had a great basis for making that kind of statement and I repeat it here 9 today. And we will find out in depositions what 10 basis they actually had. And nn anxiously awaiting 11 Mr. Cassell's deposition this afternoon. 12 MR.

285 1 relationship with him and he has an ability to 2 justify and explain his position in response 3 MR. SCAROLA: If it's responsive to the 4 question. 5 A. It's responsive. And as far as the 6 filibustering is — 7 BY MR. SCAROLA: 8 Q. Do you remember what the question is? 9 A. -- is concerned, I was here -- 10 Q. Do you remember what the question was? 11 A. Yes. Yes. 12 Q. What is the question? 13 A. The question is — no, why don't you 14 repeat the question. 15 Q. Yes, sir. 16 A. So -- 17 Q. You know that Bob Josefsberg would not 18 advance allegations on behalf of a client that that 19 client had been lent out by Jeffrey Epstein to 20 satisfy the sexual desires of friends of Jeffrey 21 Epstein, including academicians, unless Bob 22 Josefsberg believed those allegations to be true, 23 right? 24 A. I believe that — I know that Bob 25 Josefsberg would never maintain a friendship with 287 the people who the FBI had put on the — the list. 2 I just don't know what his responsibility was. 3 I can say with confidence that he would 4 only ad ethically and would. A. not represent 5 not make any false statements the way your clients 6 made than, and that I wish your clients had the 7 ethics of Bob Josefsberg 8 Q. You then agree that if Bob Josefsbcrg 9 advanced the claims that I have described in a 10 complaint on behalf of a client, he would not have 11 done so unless he believed those allegations to be 12 true, having conducted a fair and reasonable 13 Investigation, correct? 14 MR. SCOTT: Objection, asked and answered 15 several limes. 16 A. I don't know the answer to that question 17 because I don't know the context in which he made 18 these arguments. All I do know is that he never 19 would maintain a friendship with me if he believed 20 in any way that I was cne of the people that she had 21 accused. 22 BY MR. SCAROLA: 23 Q. Did Alfredo Rodriguez, another one of your 24 friend's staff persons, have a motive to lie against 25 you? 286 1 me, as he has, if he believed that 1 was one of 2 those academicians. Bob Josefsberg knows tint I was 3 not one of those academicians, and the inference of 4 your question is beneath contempt. sir. 5 Q. Could we try to answer the question now? 6 A. The answer is that Bob Josefsberg would 7 never maintain a friendship with me if he believed that there was any possibility that I was among the 9 academicians who she was accusing of sexual 10 misconduct. I do not believe that she ever accused 11 me of sexual misconduct to Bob Josefsberg. to the 12 FBI, to the U.S. attorney. or even, sir, to you and 13 Bradley Edwanls, as she says in 2000,1 think, 'I I. 14 1 think she made up this stay on the eve of the 15 filing in 2014. 16 Q. You do agree that Bob Josefsberg would not 17 have advanced the claims that he advanced if he did 18 not have confidence that they were true, correct? 19 A. I have no idea what he believed or knew at 20 the time. I would say this: I know Bob Josefsberg 21 is an extraordinarily ethical lawyer. I don't know 22 what his responsibilities were in the case. I don't 23 know whether his responsibilities were to make those 24 kinds of judgments or whether his responsibility was 25 simply to make sure that money was paid to each of 288 1 A. Alberto Rodriguez -- 2 Q. No, sir, Alfredo Rodriguez. 3 A. Alfredo Rodriguez, I never knew him by 4 name. Ile was, of course, there out — well outside S of the limeframe of the alleged events in this case. 6 And so anything that he would be able to testify to 7 would bear no relationship whatsoever to the -- the 8 allegations here. 9 Ile was criminally prosecuted, to my 10 memory. for having stolen material and fumed it 11 over to Bradley Edwards is my recollection. And as 12 the result of that clearly had a motive to lie. And 13 the same with Mr. Alessi, clearly would have a basis 14 for believing that I may have played a role as 15 Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer in seeking to do harm to 16 him. 17 But again, there's nothing in 18 Mr. Rodriguez's testimony which is in any way 19 inculpatory of rue. I think he has me sitting and -- 20 and reading a book and drinking a glass of wine. 21 Q. In the presence of young women? 22 A. No. 23 Q. No? 24 A. I don't — 25 Q.

Yes. 3 MR. SCOTT: Objection. This is totally 4 improper cross examination of a witness by trying to use a deposition. The only purpose 6 of doing this is to interject this into the 7 record. which has no relevance and would not be admissible at trial. And in any ease, he never 9 actually has my client doing any of the thing, 10 that you've accused him of. 11 Go about, let's go ahead and do it. 12 Answer the question. Answer the question. 13 MR.

Were any of these young women that 20 you have said came to give massages? 21 "Answer: Yes, ma'am." 22 Do you recall that testimony having been 23 given -- 24 A. Yes. 25 Q. — and those answers having been given to 292. 1 Roberts had been lent out for sexual purposes to 2 academicians, were asking specific questions about 3 you? Do you know why It was In 2009 they were doing 4 that? 5 A. I have no idea that it happened. And I 6 imagine that they had a list of every academic that 7 was in the house. Probably included .- 8 MR. SCOTT: I want to object to this whole 9 procedure because you're taking pieces out of 10 the record and not reading other pieces that 11 totallyabsolve my client. For example, 12 there's testimony by him that says -- 13 MR. SCAROLA: Is this an objection? 14 MR. SCOTT: Yes, it's a statement into the 15 reeved just Eke you're putting into the 16 record. There's — I want to show this to my 17 client and refresh his memory as to some other 18 testimony by this witness -- 19 MR. SCAROLA: There's no question pending 20 as to what you can -- as to what you can 21 refresh your client's memory. What you arc 22 doing is coaching him. 23 MR. SCOTT: No, I'm not. 24 MR.

And if you read every word, you will see 16 MR. SCOTT: And I'm -- 16 that its totally exculpatory. that I have no idea 17 MR.
