(Jury not present)
THE COURT: Looks like we have everybody. Matters to take up, counsel.
MS. COMEY: Nothing from the government, your Honor.
MR. EVERDELL: Nothing, your Honor, but note we have put the folders under the chairs as we agreed yesterday.
THE COURT: And the government has seen -- well, I guess you didn't see them, but you are aware of them?
MS. COMEY: We have seen the outside of the folders, your Honor.
THE COURT: Mr. Everdell, there are two folders.
MR. EVERDELL: There is one folder with two documents.
THE COURT: One folder with two documents. And then, as we discussed, he'll direct us as necessary to make sure everybody can follow along.
I think the only thing I wanted to raise is that, assuming the timing works out, I would like to speak with the juror who had the trip planned, with the court reporter present, of course, to see if there is additional information about the ability to change that plan to make sure it's not weighing on my mind. Without objection to that?
MS. COMEY: No objection, your Honor.
MR. EVERDELL: No objection, your Honor.
THE COURT: So if they're here a little on the early side, I'll do that before, otherwise I'll do it at the break.

(In open court)
THE COURT: I spoke to the juror with the travel plans and the information is that dates can't be changed and they can't cancel and it would be of some significant hardship. The juror is, I think, more concerned about the spouse's reaction. At one point, they did say, "If I have to proceed, I can. I understand." On the other hand, they mentioned some level of distraction and concern.
So, I'll hear your suggestion.
MR. PAGLIUCA: Your Honor, I understood that the Court was going to -- there were two options the Court was considering. One was seeing if the juror could change plans, and if that didn't work, the Court was considering breaking for the juror's anticipated vacation. That's what I understood the Court to say.
If the juror can't change the plans, our preference would be, not frankly that we want to delay the trial, but my preference would be to keep the juror and accommodate the juror's travel plans, your Honor.
MS. COMEY: Your Honor, the government's preference would be to keep the trial moving, keep the trial days as scheduled, and excuse the juror if those days become necessary for this case.
THE COURT: Just to be clear about what we're talking about. So given the holiday, we're not going to sit the 23rd

So, really, it would be a 10-day break in the trial. I don't think that makes sense, Mr. Pagliuca. I know I mentioned that, but I'm not sure I had that fully in mind at the time, and that's practically what we would be talking about.
MR. PAGLIUCA: I appreciate that, your Honor. Again, I frankly don't want to delay this trial. The intention here is, first, I don't know which juror this is, and that would make a difference in my analysis here, frankly.
THE COURT: I mean, to be candid, that's why I'm not telling you, because -- I'm not telling either side because I think under the veil of ignorance is a better place for everybody to be.
MR. PAGLIUCA: Let me be more specific, your Honor. I'm not asking to know the specific juror, but what would make a large difference to me is whether this person is in the alternate pool versus the main pool of jurors. I would have less of a problem excusing the juror if the juror was in the alternate pool as opposed to the main pool. And the reason I say that is we carefully exercised peremptory challenges in this case, both to the main pool and the alternate pool. Had we understood that if this juror's plans couldn't be changed, we would have made a different choice while the entire venire

That would have been the choice we would have made at that point. THE COURT: But you actually had that option with this information available to you yesterday. The government supported that move of having seven alternates and you declined that option. So even with the information that we might face this issue, you chose not to go that route. MR. PAGLIUCA: But, your Honor, my view, that's because we understood that the Court was not going to excuse the juror. That was my clear understanding. The transcript says whatever it says. THE COURT: Fair enough. It was not with a 10-day pause in the trial in mind, and I suppose the new information is the juror telling me that there is some level of distraction as a result of this concern, which was not what was indicated yesterday when the discussion was that they would make every effort to try to move it. Having apparently now made that effort, they can't move it. MR. PAGLIUCA: I understand, your Honor. I think my position is clear and the Court will do as the Court sees fit.

And then other times would be to pick up and drop off luggage. And that was another residence that I installed a lot of the home theater and audio equipment.

And you continued through that room. That brought you into a butler's pantry. And then from the butler's pantry, you went into the main kitchen, which also had a dining room table. Once you went through the kitchen, that brought you to another room, which was kind of a morning room, just a small little family room off to the kitchen.

And then there was another staircase that brought you upstairs that housed the master bedroom, as well as approximately three -- three or four guest bedrooms upstairs. Q. When you first visited this ranch, was the main house you just described completed? A. No, it was not. Q. About when was construction on this main house completed? A. It was under construction for a while, that's why he had the triple-wide trailer to stay during the construction. But I would estimate probably late '90s, maybe 2000 is when the house got finished. Q. And so in the mid to late '90s, when you visited the ranch, where did Mr. Epstein stay? A. He would stay up at the lodge or the triple-wide mobile home I described. Q. Could you describe what the interior of that triple-wide lodge looked like. A. Sure. As I mentioned, it was a triple-wide trailer that had a wood western facade built around it to make it a little more attractive than just a mobile home. Once you went in the front door, there was a large wooden deck in the front of the house like you would see in a western movie. And you went in the front door, you walked into the living room which had a fireplace to the left. SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300 DOJ-OGR-00011794

1 Ms. Drescher, would you please show that to the jury.
2 Q. And while that's up, Mr. Visoski, would you please describe

4 A. I believe it was on the second or third floor, we're going
5 back a little ways. But it was -- once you went in the front
6 door, it was a little on the unique side. It was a very long
7 type of apartment. Once you went in the front door, there was
8 an entrance foyer. And if you continued straight through that
9 foyer, it would take you into the kitchen. And then to the
10 left of the kitchen, I think, led down to a hallway with some
11 guest bedrooms.
12 Once you came back to the kitchen, to the right there
13 was a dining room. And then to the right of the dining room
14 there was Mr. Epstein's office where he had a home theater set
15 up in his office as well. And then once you came out back into

20 you fly out of?

Could you walk us through each of them chronologically, starting with the first, please. A. Yes. The first time I met Ms. Maxwell, she was in a smaller apartment. We're going back 30 years, so I don't really remember the streets. But then the second apartment I remember a little more, a little more -- obviously better, which I believe was on 84th Street, which was a nice three-bedroom apartment. And she was there for several years. I did set up a home theater in that apartment as well. And then eventually she purchased a brownstone townhouse, I believe, which was on 65th Street. Q.

A. Sure. The best way to describe it, it was kind of like a recreational vehicle inside; it wasn't like a typical airliner would look.
You went in the front entrance door which is located at the forward part of the aircraft. You walked upstairs. And if you continued straight ahead, it went into the first bathroom, which we considered the crew bathroom; so there was a lavatory up in front. And then if you made a left turn, brought you into the cockpit.
Now we're still at the entrance and now we're going to walk to the back of the airplane. You went through -- as soon as you got to the first compartment, there was like a large living room that had one, two, three -- it had three couches or divans. And then it had several captain chairs inside there.
Once you went from that first compartment, you're continuing walking to the back of the aircraft, in the middle there was a galley or kitchen like you would find in a home. It was a full decked-out kitchen.
And then once you went further past the kitchen, there was what we call the round room. There was a couch or a divan in the middle of the aircraft that was actually round or circular. And once you went past that, there was what we called the red room, which had Mr. Epstein's office that also had a red couch or divan and his office desk.

Now we're still at the entrance and now we're going to walk to the back of the airplane. You went through -- as soon as you got to the first compartment, there was like a large living room that had one, two, three -- it had three couches or divans. And then it had several captain chairs inside there.
Once you went from that first compartment, you're continuing walking to the back of the aircraft, in the middle there was a galley or kitchen like you would find in a home. It was a full decked-out kitchen.
And then once you went further past the kitchen, there was what we call the round room. There was a couch or a divan in the middle of the aircraft that was actually round or circular. And once you went past that, there was what we called the red room, which had Mr. Epstein's office that also had a red couch or divan and his office desk.

1 Q. While Ms. Drescher puts that up, will you please describe once again what we see in this photograph, Mr. Visoski.
2 A. That's the middle of the aircraft or where actually the emergency exits are located. When you say describe it --
3 Q. What we're seeing in the foreground and the background, the jurors weren't able to see the photograph when you were describing it.
4 A. Oh, I'm sorry. Gotcha. I thought I just explained it. I'm going to repeat myself.
5 So this is the round couch, round divan that was in the middle of the aircraft. And then as you see in the photo, the red couch or divan, which was Mr. Epstein's office and which -- to the right side of that, which is not in the photo, there was a large desk. And then in the foreground, way in the back are the two captain's chairs that are actually across from the master bed in the back of the aircraft.
6 MS. COMEY: We can take that down.
7 Thank you, Ms. Drescher.
8 Q. What, if any, barrier was there between the pilots and the passengers on the Boeing 727?
9 A. On the Boeing, each compartment had its own doors, so you can seclude each compartment or even the cockpit from the passengers.
10 Q. During flight in the Boeing 727, was the cockpit door opened or closed?

6 Q. How long after each flight did the captain complete the passenger manifest?
7 A. It was done immediately after the aircraft, within an hour.
8 Q. Between approximately 1994 and 2004, what did you do with the passenger manifests that you personally completed?
9 A. They would acquire them. After about 30 days, I would take them to the main office in New York and then drop them off.
10 Q. Did you keep a copy for yourself?

9 would, you know, indicate or introduce us to the passengers,
10 but it just wasn't -- it wasn't the first thing, you know, on
11 anybody's mind. Occasionally he would introduce and sometimes

Yes, that's correct. 9 Q. And you'd see the passengers then too? 10 A. Sure. 11 Q. Okay. And there were times when the passengers came up to 12 the cockpit before takeoff and you might have met some of them 13 then? 14 A. Occasionally that would happen, sure. 15 Q. Okay. Now, you testified that the cockpit doors for the 16 Gulfstream and the Boeing were always closed during the flights 17 while you were in the air; is that right? 18 A. Yes. 19 Q. But you left the door open to the cockpit as you were 20 getting the plane ready for takeoff before you took off, right? 21 A. Yes. 22 Q. As you were in the cockpit, if you were looking back 23 through the cockpit door, you could see the passengers in the 24 entranceway if you wanted to, right? 25 A. Most of them, yes.

Or those other ways we discussed? A. At the entrance, yes. Q. Now, of the female passengers on these planes that you observed, you occasionally saw young girls who were traveling with their family members, isn't that right? A. There was some time when adults would bring their children onboard, sure. Q. But you never saw a female you thought was under the age of 18 who was not with her family, right? A. Correct. No. Q. And apart from those times when you saw young girls traveling with their family members, you never saw any female on the plane who looked to you to be under the age of 20, isn't that right? A. Well, that's correct, yeah, I didn't notice anybody of a younger nature without an adult or, you know, a parent. Q. So in the roughly thousand or so, give or take, flights that you flew for Epstein from 1994 -- or 1991, I should say, to 2005, you never once saw a female on any of the planes who looked under the age of 20, apart from the ones who were traveling with their family members?

Q. She was a woman?
A. Yes.
Q. Mr. Visoski, in all these flights that you flew, the several hundred to a thousand flights that you piloted for Mr. Epstein in this time period, you also never saw any kind of sexual activity occur on the planes; isn't that right?
A. I never saw any sexual activity, no.
Q. And you certainly never saw anyone engaging in sex acts with underage girls on the plane?
A. Absolutely not.
Q. In fact, you never saw anyone engaging in sex acts with any of the women on the flights period; right?
A. That is correct.
Q. Now, you testified, I think we already established this, that when you were flying, in flight, the cockpit doors were closed?
A. That is correct.
Q. So if the cockpit doors were closed, you couldn't necessarily see what was going on in the cabin during the flights; right?
A. Not at all, no.
Q. But you were never instructed by Epstein or anyone else that you were not allowed to leave the cockpits during the flights; is that correct?

But even if you weren't told all the names or you didn't 3 have all the names, you did try to keep track of how many 4 people were on the plane; right? 5 A. That's correct. 6 Q. Because as you mentioned before in testimony, pilots need 7 to fill out a passenger manifest for each flight; right? 8 A. They don't have to on general aviation. It was more for 9 weight and balance. It was my understanding we kept passenger 10 information more for tax reasons on who flew on the aircraft in 11 the early days. Might not be the case at this point, but we 12 still tried to keep as accurate records, if we could, even if 13 it wasn't necessary. 14 Q. Fair enough. So but you did try to keep passenger 15 manifests for flights on Epstein's planes? 16 A. Absolutely, yes. 17 Q. And a manifest, I think you described, among other things, 18 contains the list of the passenger names if you have them; is 19 that right? 20 A. That's correct. 21 Q. And if you didn't know their names, you might put in 22 something like one female or one male or one passenger to note 23 a named passenger? 24 A. Exactly. We tried to at least identify the sex rather than 25 just put one passenger. So that's why we had put male or SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300 DOJ-OGR-00011852

Obviously, if you did know the name or it was a person you recognized from before, you would put their name on the manifest? A. Absolutely. Q. And you said that it was important to keep track of the head count, which is why you wanted to know how many people were on the plane; right? A. That is correct. Q. Now, you said weight was also a consideration; is that right? A. It's a consideration on some aircraft, not the kind that we're flying, but it's something that should take into account or as far as how heavy luggage is. But it is a consideration as a pilot to know how much something weighs as far as luggage and/or passenger. Q. And that's if you're flying a small plane, for example, you need to know the weight of the passengers? A. Exactly, yes. Q. But for the planes you were flying for Epstein, particularly the Gulf Stream and the Boeing, you didn't need to know the weight for those planes; right? A. It was not necessary, no. It's, like I said, more of a head count, but yeah, it's not a factor in these type of aircraft. SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300 DOJ-OGR-00011853

1 AFTERNOON SESSION
2 1:35 P.M.
3 THE COURT: Matters to take up, counsel?
4 MS. COMEY: Very briefly, your Honor.
5 Some of the courtroom sketch artists have indicated confusion about the order about who they are allowed to draw and not. And so I think we would propose that before we call a witness who cannot be sketched, that that be put on the record.
7
8 THE COURT: Okay. The only restriction is with respect to the witnesses who I've permitted to testify anonymously.
9
10 MS. COMEY: That's correct, your Honor. And any sealed exhibits, if someone were to somehow glimpse a sealed exhibit, though I think that's unlikely given the precautions we're taking.
11
12 THE COURT: Okay. So let's just talk through the protocol, also what the witness will be called using the pseudonym.
13
14 MS. COMEY: Yes, your Honor.
15
16 THE COURT: And then I'll swear them in. I would typically say, State your name for the record. I'll just say, I've granted you permission to testify under the pseudonym, fill in the blank. And then turn the witness over for questioning.

I want to step back and ask you a little bit about your home life during the years we've been talking about. When you were 14 to 17 and living in Florida, can you describe for the jury what your home life was like during those years? A. Well, it was -- it was not great. My father had just passed away, sort of suddenly, and we found ourselves losing our home and moving into a pool house and not being allowed to grieve the loss of my father and having a very depressed mom at home. Q. I think you mentioned that you felt like you weren't allowed to grieve your father. Can you explain to the jury what you meant by that? MS. MENNINGER: Objection, your Honor. Relevance. THE COURT: Overruled. You may answer. A. Well, I grew up with a mother who didn't allow us to talk about our feelings because that was a sign of weakness. So grieving would be a part of that because she was very concerned about appearance and what we would look like and that you always sort of put a pretty face on. So we really didn't discuss those kinds of things at home and weren't allowed to discuss it with anyone else. So, being a kid and losing your dad and not being allowed to talk about it, not having anyone to talk to about it, it was really difficult. SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.

Were there ever times when you were 14 or 15 and 16, while all of this was happening, where you thought about hurting yourself? A. Yeah. Q. Can you explain to the jury what that was like for you? A. Well, it was a multitude of things, of my father dying and losing our home and then having a manic depressed mother who didn't know how to cope and know how to take care of us and, you know, just kind of feeling like it was hopeless, I guess. It didn't seem like there was a lot of joy to look forward to and it was just -- it was all -- it was very painful. It was all very difficult. Q.

And I said, Oh, it's -- that's my godfather. And he just kind of said, Well, what do you mean your godfather? You just tell him you'll call him back. I said, No, it doesn't work that way. And he had a pretty abrasive personality himself, this guy. And he said, Well, don't call him back. And that was sort of -- well, that wasn't the end of it. I didn't call him back. And then he tried contacting me again and leaving me voicemails that became increasingly agitated in saying that I need to call him back, he was coming into town to visit, and he wanted to see me, and that I need to be grateful and remember what he's done for me.

THE COURT: We have some matters to take up?
MS. COMEY: Yes, your Honor. With respect to the Rule 16 issue, defendants Exhibit J36, what's never produced to the government in Rule 16, the Court set a Rule 16 production deadline of November 8th of this year. It appears that this may have been taken November 17th of this year, but just because it came into existence after that deadline does not excuse the defense from producing anything that they plan to offer in evidence in this trial. So this is a violation of Rule 16.
THE COURT: Okay. Ms. Menninger.
MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, that rule applies to any documents that we're offering in our case in chief, not as impeachment. In the government's presentation of evidence with this witness, they talked about a particular home and the characteristics of that home. I am impeaching the witness with an exhibit that presents a contrary home. The rule does not apply to impeachment material, it applies to things we intend to offer in our case in chief as per the rule.
MS. COMEY: Your Honor, then this is extrinsic evidence that is inadmissible under the rules of evidence to impeach.
THE COURT: So it's one page of J36; correct?

THE COURT: How did page 3 impeach?
MS. MENNINGER: Because it shows the house and the street that she lives on which is very different from what she described as her childhood home. She said we were homeless.
MS. COMEY: Your Honor, A, that's not accurate, and B, I think it is a clear violation of Rule 408(b). They're trying to offer extrinsic evidence. It's not a prior inconsistent statement. It's not something that falls under the criminal convictions contemplated by Rule 609. This is clearly precluded by the rules of evidence.
THE COURT: I'll sustain. What's next?
MS. MENNINGER: On what grounds, your Honor? On a Rule 16 violation?
THE COURT: Rule 16. She recognized the street. The document is a current photograph. She seemed to me that she recognized the street because the document indicated the street on it. She was reading the document. So also not impeaching.

THE COURT: And just so -- I sealed the sidebar where we discussed identifying information about the witness and because I sealed a portion of the testimony so that the government can propose redactions.
MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. Thank you.
THE COURT: When will you do that by?
MS. MOE: Proposed redactions, your Honor? Your Honor, I'm not quite sure at what time this evening we'll receive the court transcript, but we'd be happy to do that perhaps by midday tomorrow.
THE COURT: That's fine. I would just like to set a time for if I'm going to hear from you on disagreement as to how to proceed on cross so as to avoid public identifying information.
What's a reasonable time for you to confer and put in a letter if there is disagreement?
MS. MOE: Your Honor, we'd be happy to confer following the court day today. With respect to any disagreements, we can file simultaneous letters at perhaps 10 o'clock this evening.

know, as the Court may recall, Jane testified earlier today about having disclosed having been abused to a person who we are identifying in this proceeding as Matt. We anticipate that Matt would be the next witness in this case who would be testifying about a prior consistent statement by Jane. We are offering that testimony under both prongs of Rule 801(d)(1), and I'd be happy to walk that through with the Court.
With respect to the first prong of the rule --
THE COURT: Is there an objection?
MS. STERNHEIM: I'd like to hear their bases.
THE COURT: You have clarity on what the statement is?
MS. STERNHEIM: Well --
THE COURT: I don't, so I don't know if you do or not.
MS. STERNHEIM: I think I would have to parse what the next witness is going to say with the testimony here because it doesn't dovetail as the government is suggesting.
THE COURT: Okay. Can you be specific?
MS. MOE: Of course, your Honor. I'd be happy to provide a proffer. I'd anticipate that Matt would testify that he was in a relationship with Jane in 2007, '08, and '09, and years thereafter. And during those years, he recalls having conversations with Jane in which Jane told him that when she was growing up as a kid, her family struggled financially and he asked her how they were able to pay for things when she was growing up, and she told him that there was this uncle or

I anticipate that Matt will testify that Jane told him during these conversations that the money was not for free, that she had to do things that she didn't want to do, that that included massages. I also anticipate that Matt would testify that there was a woman in the room and he recalls Jane describing that a woman was present while this happened who would make her and other girls who were in the room feel comfortable while it happened.
THE COURT: Ms. Sternheim.
MS. STERNHEIM: Your Honor, I think it's somewhat premature since the cross examination has not been concluded yet. I am mindful of the purpose why they're calling this witness, but I think we have to wait to see what happens in cross examination. I don't understand what they're asking for right now.
MS. MOE: Your Honor, defense counsel put this issue in their opening statement by challenging Jane's credibility and her memory in particular. So the foundation is in the record for a prior consistent statement to be admitted under both prongs of the rule.
With respect to the first prong of 801(d)(1)(B), it is offered to rebut an express or implied charge the declarant recently fabricated it or acted from a recent improper influence or motive in so testifying.

Here defense counsel, in opening statements, suggested to the jury that a recent motive to fabricate in this case was civil litigation in a particular Jeffrey Epstein victim compensation fund. So this statement is offered expressly to rebut that because, in fact, Jane had told someone about this a decade before that or more.
With respect to the second prong of the rule, the statement is proper to rehabilitate the declarant's credibility as a witness when attacked on another ground. The advisory committee notes the rule expressly explained that one of the grounds for rehabilitation is when that witness's memory has been challenged, and here given this witness had made that statement much earlier in time closer to the events, this statement would be appropriate under the second prong of the rule, as well.
MS. STERNHEIM: My response is still I think we need to wait until her cross examination is over. I understand what they are intending to do. It has to be evaluated whether the statement that they allege she made to Matt is really a prior consistent statement on her.
MS. MOE: Your Honor, in our view --
THE COURT: Isn't the question whether it's a prior consistent statement with what she testified on direct?
MS. STERNHEIM: It's not entirely clear because her statement to him is extraordinarily vague and he did research

11 all of the witness's credibility on memory, on recent
12 fabrication, and monetary incentive. So I suppose the

1 each of the witnesses in issue such that the rule would allow prior consistent statements? I suppose the question is whether
a particular statement being offered is consistent with the testimony, but I don't know that it has to be with respect to cross. It seems to me it has to be with respect to direct,
because you asked the jury essentially to evaluate all of the witnesses' testimony as being motivated by memory issues,
manipulation, and monetary motivations.
So I think that's the issue. I'll certainly think about that question and then consider the -- I think this is a useful example. I'm happy to hear -- I mean, it strikes me that's right, but I'm happy to hear why that wouldn't be right.

(Jury not present)
THE COURT: Looks like we have everybody. Matters to take up, counsel.
MS. COMEY: Nothing from the government, your Honor.
MR. EVERDELL: Nothing, your Honor, but note we have put the folders under the chairs as we agreed yesterday.
THE COURT: And the government has seen -- well, I guess you didn't see them, but you are aware of them?
MS. COMEY: We have seen the outside of the folders, your Honor.
THE COURT: Mr. Everdell, there are two folders.
MR. EVERDELL: There is one folder with two documents.
THE COURT: One folder with two documents. And then, as we discussed, he'll direct us as necessary to make sure everybody can follow along.
I think the only thing I wanted to raise is that, assuming the timing works out, I would like to speak with the juror who had the trip planned, with the court reporter present, of course, to see if there is additional information about the ability to change that plan to make sure it's not weighing on my mind. Without objection to that?
MS. COMEY: No objection, your Honor.
MR. EVERDELL: No objection, your Honor.
THE COURT: So if they're here a little on the early side, I'll do that before, otherwise I'll do it at the break.

(In open court)
THE COURT: I spoke to the juror with the travel plans and the information is that dates can't be changed and they can't cancel and it would be of some significant hardship. The juror is, I think, more concerned about the spouse's reaction. At one point, they did say, "If I have to proceed, I can. I understand." On the other hand, they mentioned some level of distraction and concern.
So, I'll hear your suggestion.
MR. PAGLIUCA: Your Honor, I understood that the Court was going to -- there were two options the Court was considering. One was seeing if the juror could change plans, and if that didn't work, the Court was considering breaking for the juror's anticipated vacation. That's what I understood the Court to say.
If the juror can't change the plans, our preference would be, not frankly that we want to delay the trial, but my preference would be to keep the juror and accommodate the juror's travel plans, your Honor.
MS. COMEY: Your Honor, the government's preference would be to keep the trial moving, keep the trial days as scheduled, and excuse the juror if those days become necessary for this case.
THE COURT: Just to be clear about what we're talking about. So given the holiday, we're not going to sit the 23rd

or the 24th, and it's the weekend, Christmas weekend, 25th, 26th. The juror would be gone the 27th, 28th, would not make sense to return for one day of that week. So, really, it would be a 10-day break in the trial. I don't think that makes sense, Mr. Pagliuca. I know I mentioned that, but I'm not sure I had that fully in mind at the time, and that's practically what we would be talking about.
MR. PAGLIUCA: I appreciate that, your Honor. Again, I frankly don't want to delay this trial. The intention here is, first, I don't know which juror this is, and that would make a difference in my analysis here, frankly.
THE COURT: I mean, to be candid, that's why I'm not telling you, because -- I'm not telling either side because I think under the veil of ignorance is a better place for everybody to be.
MR. PAGLIUCA: Let me be more specific, your Honor. I'm not asking to know the specific juror, but what would make a large difference to me is whether this person is in the alternate pool versus the main pool of jurors. I would have less of a problem excusing the juror if the juror was in the alternate pool as opposed to the main pool. And the reason I say that is we carefully exercised peremptory challenges in this case, both to the main pool and the alternate pool. Had we understood that if this juror's plans couldn't be changed, we would have made a different choice while the entire venire

That would have been the choice we would have made at that point. THE COURT: But you actually had that option with this information available to you yesterday. The government supported that move of having seven alternates and you declined that option. So even with the information that we might face this issue, you chose not to go that route. MR. PAGLIUCA: But, your Honor, my view, that's because we understood that the Court was not going to excuse the juror. That was my clear understanding. The transcript says whatever it says. THE COURT: Fair enough. It was not with a 10-day pause in the trial in mind, and I suppose the new information is the juror telling me that there is some level of distraction as a result of this concern, which was not what was indicated yesterday when the discussion was that they would make every effort to try to move it. Having apparently now made that effort, they can't move it. MR. PAGLIUCA: I understand, your Honor. I think my position is clear and the Court will do as the Court sees fit. THE COURT: I don't want to do a 10-day break in the middle of the trial. That doesn't make sense. I think, SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300 DOJ-OGR-00011779

2 THE COURT: I had an additional conversation with the

4 he could cancel it, they would lose money, it was a burden, he
5 was distracted by it, so I had to excuse juror number 58.

10 A. In that photo, that's the one with the aircraft in it?
11 Q. Yes.
12 A. That appears to be a photo of -- it was probably the late 13 '90s, mid to late '90s, Mr. Epstein purchased that twin engine 14 Cessna 421, and he had a runway at the ranch. So that photo appears to be taken at the ranch at one of the ends of the 15 runway, judging by the square, you know, the asphalt bottom with the square on top there, because it was a dirt runway and 16 at the end of the runway, there was an asphalt base to turn the aircraft around.

6 Q. Have you been inside the main house on the ranch property?

And then other times would be to pick up and drop off luggage. And that was another residence that I installed a lot of the home theater and audio equipment.

And then there was another staircase that brought you upstairs that housed the master bedroom, as well as approximately three -- three or four guest bedrooms upstairs. Q. When you first visited this ranch, was the main house you just described completed? A. No, it was not. Q. About when was construction on this main house completed? A. It was under construction for a while, that's why he had the triple-wide trailer to stay during the construction. But I would estimate probably late '90s, maybe 2000 is when the house got finished. Q. And so in the mid to late '90s, when you visited the ranch, where did Mr. Epstein stay? A. He would stay up at the lodge or the triple-wide mobile home I described. Q. Could you describe what the interior of that triple-wide lodge looked like. A. Sure. As I mentioned, it was a triple-wide trailer that had a wood western facade built around it to make it a little more attractive than just a mobile home. Once you went in the front door, there was a large wooden deck in the front of the house like you would see in a western movie. And you went in the front door, you walked into the living room which had a fireplace to the left. SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300 DOJ-OGR-00011794

7 type of apartment. Once you went in the front door, there was

10 left of the kitchen, I think, led down to a hallway with some
11 guest bedrooms.

13 was a dining room. And then to the right of the dining room

A. Sure. The best way to describe it, it was kind of like a recreational vehicle inside; it wasn't like a typical airliner would look.
You went in the front entrance door which is located at the forward part of the aircraft. You walked upstairs. And if you continued straight ahead, it went into the first bathroom, which we considered the crew bathroom; so there was a lavatory up in front. And then if you made a left turn, brought you into the cockpit.
Now we're still at the entrance and now we're going to walk to the back of the airplane. You went through -- as soon as you got to the first compartment, there was like a large living room that had one, two, three -- it had three couches or divans. And then it had several captain chairs inside there.
Once you went from that first compartment, you're continuing walking to the back of the aircraft, in the middle there was a galley or kitchen like you would find in a home. It was a full decked-out kitchen.
And then once you went further past the kitchen, there was what we call the round room. There was a couch or a divan in the middle of the aircraft that was actually round or circular. And once you went past that, there was what we called the red room, which had Mr. Epstein's office that also had a red couch or divan and his office desk.

describe what the inside of this plane looked like.
A. Sure. The best way to describe it, it was kind of like a recreational vehicle inside; it wasn't like a typical airliner would look.
You went in the front entrance door which is located at the forward part of the aircraft. You walked upstairs. And if you continued straight ahead, it went into the first bathroom, which we considered the crew bathroom; so there was a lavatory up in front. And then if you made a left turn, brought you into the cockpit.

1 Q. While Ms. Drescher puts that up, will you please describe once again what we see in this photograph, Mr. Visoski.
2 A. That's the middle of the aircraft or where actually the emergency exits are located. When you say describe it --
3 Q. What we're seeing in the foreground and the background, the jurors weren't able to see the photograph when you were describing it.
4 A. Oh, I'm sorry. Gotcha. I thought I just explained it. I'm going to repeat myself.
5 So this is the round couch, round divan that was in the middle of the aircraft. And then as you see in the photo, the red couch or divan, which was Mr. Epstein's office and which -- to the right side of that, which is not in the photo, there was a large desk. And then in the foreground, way in the back are the two captain's chairs that are actually across from the master bed in the back of the aircraft.
6 MS. COMEY: We can take that down.
7 Thank you, Ms. Drescher.
8 Q. What, if any, barrier was there between the pilots and the passengers on the Boeing 727?
9 A. On the Boeing, each compartment had its own doors, so you can seclude each compartment or even the cockpit from the passengers.
10 Q. During flight in the Boeing 727, was the cockpit door opened or closed?

So were you able to observe the passengers on the flights you piloted on that plane? 3 4 A. No. 5 Q. What records did you keep as a pilot for Mr. Epstein? 6 A. We kept two documents, one was a flight log and the other was a passenger manifest. 7 8 Q. And when you say "we," who do you mean? 9 A. I meant myself and the other pilot. 10 Q.

3 A. Whoever was captain on the aircraft that day would complete that form.
4 Q. What does it mean to be captain?
5 A. To be captain would be to fly in the left seat and be in total control of the aircraft.
6 Q. How long after each flight did the captain complete the passenger manifest?
7 A. It was done immediately after the aircraft, within an hour.
8 Q. Between approximately 1994 and 2004, what did you do with the passenger manifests that you personally completed?
9 A. They would acquire them. After about 30 days, I would take them to the main office in New York and then drop them off.

9 would, you know, indicate or introduce us to the passengers,
10 but it just wasn't -- it wasn't the first thing, you know, on
11 anybody's mind. Occasionally he would introduce and sometimes

Q. She was a woman?

Q. Mr. Visoski, in all these flights that you flew, the several hundred to a thousand flights that you piloted for Mr. Epstein in this time period, you also never saw any kind of sexual activity occur on the planes; isn't that right?
A. I never saw any sexual activity, no.
Q. And you certainly never saw anyone engaging in sex acts with underage girls on the plane?
A. Absolutely not.
Q. In fact, you never saw anyone engaging in sex acts with any of the women on the flights period; right?
A. That is correct.
Q. Now, you testified, I think we already established this, that when you were flying, in flight, the cockpit doors were closed?
A. That is correct.
Q. So if the cockpit doors were closed, you couldn't necessarily see what was going on in the cabin during the flights; right?
A. Not at all, no.
Q. But you were never instructed by Epstein or anyone else that you were not allowed to leave the cockpits during the flights; is that correct?

So I know that was one of Mr. Epstein's smaller aircraft; it wasn't the Boeing. 9 So visually, I can picture the second Jane. You have to help me out which one it was. Not the one -- not the first Jane, but the other Jane I could visualize in the Boeing which would have been sometime 2000 and later. 10 Q.

Do you recall being asked about Jane and another person who has the same first name as Jane? 6 A. Yes. 7 Q. Who did you meet first, Jane or the person who is identified in Defense Exhibits LV3A and LV3B? 8 A. The only way to kind of refresh my memory, Ms. Comey, to narrow down that, I could only -- like when I -- when I explained that I first met Jane, it was in between the two pilot seats. So I know that was one of Mr. Epstein's smaller aircraft; it wasn't the Boeing. 9 So visually, I can picture the second Jane. You have to help me out which one it was. Not the one -- not the first Jane, but the other Jane I could visualize in the Boeing which would have been sometime 2000 and later. 10 Q. So to the best of your recollection, did you meet the person we're calling Jane in the 1990s? 11 A. I would go with that one, yes, only because with that document of the airplane with, you know, that time frame, I remember the other Jane was in the Boeing, the bigger plane. 12 SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.

And I don't know if it was painted dark, but -- or maybe that was the lighting, but it sort of had this, like, red mood. And then there was just a giant black massage table in the middle of it. Q. Was there anything along the walls in the massage room? SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300 DOJ-OGR-00017554

MOE: Thank you, your Honor, I'd like to ask the 6 witness about her conversations with her mother during this 7 time period about Epstein and Maxwell. As I think the witness 8 began explaining during this time period, her mother would tell 9 her about how great they were, how enamored she was with them, 10 and that I expect she would say that that had an effect on her. 11 None of that is offered for the truth, but for the effect on 12 the listener. 13 I think the defense has put at issue in this case why 14 the victims continued seeing the defendant and Epstein and why 15 they didn't tell about what happened to them later, and the 16 circumstances under which all of this was happening, including 17 her home life, the effect of her own mother and how her mother 18 would talk about Maxwell and Epstein are all part of that and 19 it's directly responsive to that issue. 20 THE COURT: The initial questions that you're asking, 21 you expect the witness to say what exactly was communicated to 22 the witness by her mother? 23 MS.

MS. MOE: Of course, your Honor. THE COURT: Ms. Menninger. MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, I think the simple way to ask the question is, how did you feel, and if it was based on something your mother said to you, without getting into the content of what the mother had communicated to her. I think it's a real issue that may come up later with things that the mother has said to any number of people, and I feel like this opens the door to many other conversations that relate to the mother. So I'm not sure that just asking -- giving a bunch of hearsay from the mom, saying we're asking it for the effect on the listener and precluding cross examination about other conversations with the mom would be appropriate. THE COURT: So I don't know what you have in mind coming down the road. I think it's proffered by the government at this point anyway. I think there might be a way to streamline it.

MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I believe what is possibly happening in the witness's answer about May 2019 is that I believe before the September 2019 interview, FBI agents approached this witness and asked her if she was willing to be interviewed. She declined. And I believe that may have happened around May of 2019. So she may be confusing that as the first time she ever spoke with the FBI. But she was not substantively interviewed and did not give substantive statements until September of 2019.

THE COURT: We have some matters to take up?
MS. COMEY: Yes, your Honor. With respect to the Rule 16 issue, defendants Exhibit J36, what's never produced to the government in Rule 16, the Court set a Rule 16 production deadline of November 8th of this year. It appears that this may have been taken November 17th of this year, but just because it came into existence after that deadline does not excuse the defense from producing anything that they plan to offer in evidence in this trial. So this is a violation of Rule 16.
THE COURT: Okay. Ms. Menninger.
MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, that rule applies to any documents that we're offering in our case in chief, not as impeachment. In the government's presentation of evidence with this witness, they talked about a particular home and the characteristics of that home. I am impeaching the witness with an exhibit that presents a contrary home. The rule does not apply to impeachment material, it applies to things we intend to offer in our case in chief as per the rule.
MS. COMEY: Your Honor, then this is extrinsic evidence that is inadmissible under the rules of evidence to impeach.
THE COURT: So it's one page of J36; correct?
MS. MENNINGER: Correct, your Honor. I offered page

(Jury not present)
THE COURT: We have some matters to take up?
MS. COMEY: Yes, your Honor. With respect to the Rule 16 issue, defendants Exhibit J36, what's never produced to the government in Rule 16, the Court set a Rule 16 production deadline of November 8th of this year. It appears that this may have been taken November 17th of this year, but just because it came into existence after that deadline does not excuse the defense from producing anything that they plan to offer in evidence in this trial. So this is a violation of Rule 16.
THE COURT: Okay. Ms. Menninger.
MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, that rule applies to any documents that we're offering in our case in chief, not as impeachment. In the government's presentation of evidence with this witness, they talked about a particular home and the characteristics of that home. I am impeaching the witness with an exhibit that presents a contrary home. The rule does not apply to impeachment material, it applies to things we intend to offer in our case in chief as per the rule.
MS. COMEY: Your Honor, then this is extrinsic evidence that is inadmissible under the rules of evidence to impeach.
THE COURT: So it's one page of J36; correct?
MS. MENNINGER: Correct, your Honor. I offered page

1 3, your Honor.
THE COURT: How did page 3 impeach?
MS. MENNINGER: Because it shows the house and the street that she lives on which is very different from what she described as her childhood home. She said we were homeless.
MS. COMEY: Your Honor, A, that's not accurate, and B, I think it is a clear violation of Rule 408(b). They're trying to offer extrinsic evidence. It's not a prior inconsistent statement. It's not something that falls under the criminal convictions contemplated by Rule 609. This is clearly precluded by the rules of evidence.
THE COURT: I'll sustain. What's next?
MS. MENNINGER: On what grounds, your Honor? On a Rule 16 violation?
THE COURT: Rule 16. She recognized the street. The document is a current photograph. She seemed to me that she recognized the street because the document indicated the street on it. She was reading the document. So also not impeaching.
MS. MENNINGER: We'll find another way to introduce it, your Honor.
THE COURT: I'm sorry, can you --
MS. MENNINGER: We will try to find another way to introduce it.
THE COURT: Okay.
MS. COMEY: Your Honor, to the extent it's going to be

1 introduced, it's in violation of Rule 16. I think to the
2 extent there are other exhibits that the defense intends to
3 offer that have not already been produced to us, we would ask
4 that the Court order that they make those productions
5 forthwith.
6 MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, we have a very different
7 view of Rule 16. If it is an impeachment document, it is not
8 covered by the rule. We will brief this tonight if your Honor
9 would like. I have a very different view, apparently, than
10 Ms. Comey.
11 MS. COMEY: Your Honor, we do not believe that any
12 prior inconsistent statements that would be admissible --
13 THE COURT: It's not a prior inconsistent statement.
14 MS. COMEY: Exactly, your Honor. Nothing else is
15 admissible as impeachment by my reading of the rules of
16 evidence.
17 MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, anything that goes to the
18 witness's memory, bias, motive, all of those are impeachment
19 materials. Impeachment is not limited to prior inconsistent
20 statements. That's just not the state of the law.
21 THE COURT: You can brief it. So if the witness
22 testifies I live in a blue house and you go out tonight and
23 take a photograph of the house and it's a red house --
24 MS. MENNINGER: Yes, your Honor.

MS. MENNINGER: I did just show it to the government.
THE COURT: Before the beginning of the day?
MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, I believe it's impeachment and it comes in when it comes in. I did not believe that your Honor ordered us to produce impeachment materials prior to trial.
MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I think we may need to brief this tonight.
THE COURT: You'll brief it. You'll brief it. A specific example would be helpful. I suppose you can use this one complicated by the fact that my understanding of the testimony was that she was -- she said that's the street I lived on, reading a document that she had never seen before, from a photograph taken in 2021.
So I suppose the question is, perhaps you could pick another example, or you could imagine that photograph without the information --
MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, if I had a photograph from that time period, I certainly would have used it. That's the only thing available to me.
I would say, your Honor, that the government has just introduced, today, photographs that were taken in the last year of Epstein home when we're talking about events that happened

1 in '94, '95, and '96. So I'm not really sure.
2 THE COURT: There was a witness who testified as to it
3 being an accurate reflection of what the home looked like;
4 right?
5 MS. MENNINGER: Without saying when, yes. A witness
6 who continued to work for Mr. Epstein up until 2019.
7 THE COURT: I mean, I suppose you're welcome to object
8 to foundation, but there wasn't an objection to foundation.
9 In any event, you'll brief whether the defense is
10 obligated under Rule 16 to produce in advance to the government
11 documents that clearly -- and we're not talking about
12 statements.
13 MS. COMEY: That's correct, your Honor. We're talking
14 about an exhibit like a photograph, something like this very
15 exhibit seems like classical 16. So we'll brief it, your
16 Honor.
17 THE COURT: Okay. Certainly, there is at least two
18 situations. There is the situation in which the witness said
19 something and you couldn't have anticipated what they said and
20 you have something that you want to impeach with it, you
21 couldn't have produced that in advance. So the question is not
22 that, but obviously when you anticipate particular testimony
23 and you have material that you think impeaches that you intend
24 to introduce as evidence through cross examination. Whether
25 you're obligated under Rule 16 to turn that over in advance,

at a high level of cross and what might be identified so we can troubleshoot these issues in advance in order to work on a solution that avoids wasting the jury's time and, most importantly, jeopardizing the privacy of a crime victim. We have previously reached out to defense to ask to confer about some of these issues. We would like to do that this evening.

So we ask the Court to direct the parties to meet and confer on that issue given the steaks of that issue in this case.
THE COURT: Ms. Menninger, the witness is on cross, so they can't confer with the witness. Any reason not to do that?
MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, I see no reason not to confer with the government about a way that we can accommodate this.

know, as the Court may recall, Jane testified earlier today about having disclosed having been abused to a person who we are identifying in this proceeding as Matt. We anticipate that Matt would be the next witness in this case who would be testifying about a prior consistent statement by Jane. We are offering that testimony under both prongs of Rule 801(d)(1), and I'd be happy to walk that through with the Court.
With respect to the first prong of the rule --
THE COURT: Is there an objection?

THE COURT: You have clarity on what the statement is?
MS. STERNHEIM: Well --
THE COURT: I don't, so I don't know if you do or not.
MS. STERNHEIM: I think I would have to parse what the next witness is going to say with the testimony here because it doesn't dovetail as the government is suggesting.
THE COURT: Okay. Can you be specific?
MS. MOE: Of course, your Honor. I'd be happy to provide a proffer. I'd anticipate that Matt would testify that he was in a relationship with Jane in 2007, '08, and '09, and years thereafter. And during those years, he recalls having conversations with Jane in which Jane told him that when she was growing up as a kid, her family struggled financially and he asked her how they were able to pay for things when she was growing up, and she told him that there was this uncle or

godfather-like figure when she was growing up who helped the family. I anticipate that Matt will testify that Jane told him during these conversations that the money was not for free, that she had to do things that she didn't want to do, that that included massages. I also anticipate that Matt would testify that there was a woman in the room and he recalls Jane describing that a woman was present while this happened who would make her and other girls who were in the room feel comfortable while it happened.
THE COURT: Ms. Sternheim.
MS. STERNHEIM: Your Honor, I think it's somewhat premature since the cross examination has not been concluded yet. I am mindful of the purpose why they're calling this witness, but I think we have to wait to see what happens in cross examination. I don't understand what they're asking for right now.
MS. MOE: Your Honor, defense counsel put this issue in their opening statement by challenging Jane's credibility and her memory in particular. So the foundation is in the record for a prior consistent statement to be admitted under both prongs of the rule.
With respect to the first prong of 801(d)(1)(B), it is offered to rebut an express or implied charge the declarant recently fabricated it or acted from a recent improper influence or motive in so testifying.

godfather-like figure when she was growing up who helped the family. I anticipate that Matt will testify that Jane told him during these conversations that the money was not for free, that she had to do things that she didn't want to do, that that included massages. I also anticipate that Matt would testify that there was a woman in the room and he recalls Jane describing that a woman was present while this happened who would make her and other girls who were in the room feel comfortable while it happened.
THE COURT: Ms. Sternheim.
MS. STERNHEIM: Your Honor, I think it's somewhat premature since the cross examination has not been concluded yet. I am mindful of the purpose why they're calling this witness, but I think we have to wait to see what happens in cross examination. I don't understand what they're asking for right now.
MS. MOE: Your Honor, defense counsel put this issue in their opening statement by challenging Jane's credibility and her memory in particular. So the foundation is in the record for a prior consistent statement to be admitted under both prongs of the rule.
With respect to the first prong of 801(d)(1)(B), it is offered to rebut an express or implied charge the declarant recently fabricated it or acted from a recent improper influence or motive in so testifying.

Here defense counsel, in opening statements, suggested to the jury that a recent motive to fabricate in this case was civil litigation in a particular Jeffrey Epstein victim compensation fund. So this statement is offered expressly to rebut that because, in fact, Jane had told someone about this a decade before that or more.
With respect to the second prong of the rule, the statement is proper to rehabilitate the declarant's credibility as a witness when attacked on another ground. The advisory committee notes the rule expressly explained that one of the grounds for rehabilitation is when that witness's memory has been challenged, and here given this witness had made that statement much earlier in time closer to the events, this statement would be appropriate under the second prong of the rule, as well.
MS. STERNHEIM: My response is still I think we need to wait until her cross examination is over. I understand what they are intending to do. It has to be evaluated whether the statement that they allege she made to Matt is really a prior consistent statement on her.
MS. MOE: Your Honor, in our view --
THE COURT: Isn't the question whether it's a prior consistent statement with what she testified on direct?
MS. STERNHEIM: It's not entirely clear because her statement to him is extraordinarily vague and he did research

2 THE COURT: You can cross him on that.
3 MS. STERNHEIM: I understand that. I'm not
4 challenging. I'm just saying that I think the full issue
5 should be addressed at the conclusion of this witness's
6 testimony.
7 THE COURT: All right. We'll address it at the
8 conclusion of the witness's testimony. I understand the
9 government's point to be that the prongs of the rule are both
10 put in issue by the defense's opening, attacking, I suppose,
11 all of the witness's credibility on memory, on recent
12 fabrication, and monetary incentive. So I suppose the
13 government's position, if I understand it, is that in light of
14 that opening, any prior consistent statement of any of the
15 witnesses comes in. Is that the contention?
16 MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. Defense counsel has kicked
17 the door wide open. So under both prongs of the rule, all
18 prior consistent statements of the witnesses in this case are
19 admissible.
20 THE COURT: Do you anticipate beyond the next witness
21 the same issue occurring?
22 MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor, with respect to other
23 victims in this case.
24 THE COURT: Ms. Sternheim, your view is that the
25 opening hasn't sufficiently put the specific credibility of

1 each of the witnesses in issue such that the rule would allow prior consistent statements? I suppose the question is whether
a particular statement being offered is consistent with the testimony, but I don't know that it has to be with respect to cross. It seems to me it has to be with respect to direct,
because you asked the jury essentially to evaluate all of the witnesses' testimony as being motivated by memory issues,
manipulation, and monetary motivations.
So I think that's the issue. I'll certainly think about that question and then consider the -- I think this is a useful example. I'm happy to hear -- I mean, it strikes me that's right, but I'm happy to hear why that wouldn't be right.
MS. STERNHEIM: I'm not suggesting, I'm just asking for an opportunity to dovetail her testimony with the statement that is the support for the next witness's testimony. I'm not seeking to preclude, I'm just asking for an opportunity on the issue of prior consistency.
THE COURT: We can pick this up in the morning, but the government made a specific proffer of anticipated testimony based on direct testimony, which is to say -- I mean, when the witness is testifying, you could say that's not consistent with the prior testimony. Is that what you want to do?
MS. STERNHEIM: I'm just asking for an opportunity to compare it. I am not standing here saying I'm opposing it.
THE COURT: I got it. So it's not about the cross of
