- 0:15non prosecution agreement? Maxwell? I have no idea. McCauley, do
- 0:19you have an understanding of the co conspirators listed in

- 0:47and the foundation, Maxwell, I do not know. McCauley. What
- 0:51did Jeffrey Epstein tell you about the non prosecution agreement? Maxwell?

- 1:01by the non prosecution agreement? Maxwell? I believe I read
- 1:05it in the press. McCauley, did you have any discussions

- 1:42You were working for Jeffrey at the time, Blank was
- 1:45also working for Jeffrey, isn't that correct? Maxwell? I didn't
- 1:49know what redacted did for Jeffrey, so I didn't characterize
- 1:52what her relationship or work or not was. And I
- 1:56was still helping him with his construction projects and the like.
- 1:59But I never crossed paths what redacted. McCauley, What did
- 2:04you think redacted was doing for Jeffrey? Maxwell? I have
- 2:07no idea what redacted was doing for Jeffrey. McCauley, did
- 2:11you observe redacted at any of Jeffrey's houses while you

- 5:43that type of regular touch, McCauley, do you travel with
- 5:47them regularly? Maxwell? I don't know. I have traveled with them.
- 5:50We have traveled together, but regularly is not the correct characterization. Maxwell.
- 5:56Do you travel with them more than once a year?
- 5:58And remember, just to ad we're talking about Prince Andrew. Maxwell,
- 6:03there is no standard, there is no set pattern. The
