• 0:44
  The New York Times recently reported that a federal judge
• 0:46
  in White Plains, New York recently released Jeffrey Epstein's purported

  suicide note. We'll pass that out and have you take
• 0:53
  a look at it just for a minute. So on
• 0:56
  the front you'll see the New York Times article that

  New York Times article quoted it question. The note reads
• 1:10
  quote they investigated me for months, found nothing two exclamation marks,

• 1:25
  not worth it? End quote? Have you ever seen this

  suicide note before? How is that a suicide note? He says,
• 1:32

  I don't know. Mister Emmert, thank you. We're coming to
• 4:27
  the end of the majority's first hour. We're going to
• 4:29
  discuss this more specifically during the upcoming hours. But there's
• 4:33
  been payments that have been identified or reported on that
• 4:36
  have been suspicious. Specifically, there was a cash deposit of
• 4:40
  five thousand dollars from an unknown center on July thirtieth,
• 4:43
  twenty nineteen, just ten days before Jeffrey Epstein's death. What
• 4:48
  was that payment for, Miss Noel, So you said unknown sender, like,
• 4:53
  I deposited my money into my bank account and that's
• 4:56
  from my personal savings plan. And no one has ever
• 4:59
  approached me or giving me money in reference to mister
• 5:02
  Epstein at all. Mister Emmer, for the record, you never
• 5:06
  is it your testimony that you never received money from
• 5:09
  Jeffrey Epstein or anyone affiliated with Jeffrey Epstein as it
• 5:13
  relates to his incarceration at MCC. Miss Noel, correct question.
• 5:18
  I think that'll be the end of our first hour.
• 5:20
  We can go off the record now they're back on question.
• 5:23
  Good morning, Miss Noel. Answer, good morning question. My name
• 5:28
  is Giancarlo Pellegrini, a nice Irish name. Huh. I'll be
• 5:33
  doing most of the questioning for the minority today. First,
• 5:36
  thank you for your time and thank you for your
• 5:38
  service to our country. We really appreciate it. Answer, You're welcome. Question.
• 5:43
  As you know, today's conversation will focus on your work
• 5:46
  at the MCC and circumstances surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death. I
• 5:50
  wanted to start for a moment with a topic that
• 5:52
  just came up at the end of the previous hour,
• 5:55
  those cash payments. One of the documents that was released
• 5:58
  in the DOJ files says that in November of twenty nineteen,
• 6:03
  JP Morgan Chase provided a suspicious activity report to the
• 6:07
  FBI regarding twelve cash deposits that you made between April
• 6:11
  twenty eighteen and July twenty nineteen. I know you were
• 6:16
  just asked a moment ago, was there any connection between
• 6:18
  those deposits and your official duties at MCC? Answer no question.
• 6:24
  Was there any connection direct or indirect between those deposits
• 6:27
  and Jeffrey Epstein or Glenn Maxwell in any way? Answer
• 6:31
  no question. There was a deposit specifically of five thousand
• 6:36
  dollars on July thirtieth, twenty nineteen, so that's about eleven
• 6:40
  days before mister Epstein died. I know that's included in
• 6:43
  what I just asked. But was there any connection of
• 6:46
  any kind specifically between the deposit and your official duties
• 6:50
  at MCC. Answer no question. Was there any connection of
• 6:54
  any kind between that deposit and the death of Jeffrey Epstein.
• 6:58
  Answer no question and any connection director and direct between
• 7:04
  that deposit and Jeffrey Epstein or Glenn Maxwell in any way.
• 7:08
  Answer no question. Okay, thank you. Answer, you're welcome. Question.
• 7:13
  We're going to ask some questions. Some of them are
• 7:15
  similar to what you were already asked. We have to
• 7:18
  try to cross those out so you don't have to
• 7:20
  get asked the same thing twice. Answer okay. Question. We
• 7:24
  might not always be successful, but we'll do our best.
• 7:27
  Answer okay. Question. Couple of questions going to the layout
• 7:32
  in the shoe you described, there are I think six
• 7:35
  different tiers. Is that right? Answer? Correct question? And how
• 7:39
  many cells in each tier? Answer that I don't remember? Question?
• 7:44
  Is there a locked door for each tier? You talked
• 7:46
  about the grill? Answer the grill question? What's the grill? Answer?
• 7:52
  It's the sew. It's because it's a grill, because it's
• 7:55
  not an actual door, and that's what allows you to
• 7:58
  answer the tier. And that's locked question. So there's a
• 8:01
  physical key to get into that answer yes, question okay,
• 8:05
  So to get into any of the tiers, one of
• 8:07
  this hee ode needs a key. Answer key correct question okay.
• 8:11
  We do have an additional member who has since joined us,
• 8:15
  if that member could just identify himself Rocana from California, seventeen.
• 8:22
  Question how many in the shoe? Specifically, how many inmates
• 8:25
  would there typically be in each cell? Answer? It could
• 8:29
  be one or two. Question is there any rhyme or
• 8:32
  reason as to whether it's one or two? Answer so
• 8:36
  the shoe doesn't have to be full. If it's full,
• 8:39
  then it will be two because the maximum it can
• 8:41
  hold in one cell is too But it could be
• 8:44
  just one. Question as far as you can recall, would
• 8:47
  it be one in every cell? And then once that's
• 8:50
  done you start adding cellmates? Answer no, So like for example,
• 8:55
  let's say if on El Tier there is like everybody
• 8:58
  paired up and somebody got in trouble a different unit
• 9:01
  and they're coming and they're single, they have to place
• 9:03
  them in a cell, so they may be alone until
• 9:06
  somebody else comes in that has to go to the shoe,
• 9:09
  or if somebody else got in trouble, then they could
• 9:11
  pair them with them, or if for whatever reason that inmate,
• 9:15
  for whatever their stipulation is, needs to be with someone,
• 9:18
  they can move someone from someplace else and put them
• 9:21
  with them, So it can be single or double, depending
• 9:24
  on what specific inmate is going on? Question? Thank you,
• 9:28
  that's helpful. The shoe, I think we read had two
• 9:32
  different entrances, a primary entrance and a secondary entrance. Is
• 9:36
  that right? Answer? Correct? Question. What was the difference between
• 9:40
  those entrances in terms of who would use them? Answer?
• 9:43
  So for the outer door, that has to be properly
• 9:46
  by control. The inner door, someone on the inside has
• 9:49
  to let you in question got it? But is it
• 9:53
  right that there were so I understand that the way
• 9:56
  to get into the shoe where you have to go
• 9:58
  through two different doors? Answer correct. Question. Was there a
• 10:02
  totally different second way to get into the shoe, a
• 10:05
  different entrance of any kind? Was it just the one
• 10:08
  you're describing? Answer the one I'm describing. That's the only
• 10:12
  one that I know the double doors question? Okay, can
• 10:15
  you describe your recollection of how a typical cell on
• 10:18
  the shoe would be laid out? Answer? It's a bunk
• 10:21
  bed and the bathroom area, if you want to call it,
• 10:23
  that's pretty much it a bunk bed, and I think
• 10:26
  like a sink, a toilet, and a little mirror. I guess. Question,
• 10:30
  and you talked about this a little bit. Where did
• 10:32
  the CEO, sit that were on duty in the shoe.
• 10:35
  Answer when you come into the shoe in the common
• 10:38
  area right in the middle. Question is there like a
• 10:41
  table and chairs kind of thing? Answer, it's a desk
• 10:45
  like an L. Question from that desk, were you able
• 10:48
  to see all cell doors? Any cell doors? What could
• 10:51
  you see in terms of the cells from the desk?
• 10:54
  Answer from the desk if you're sitting, because the desk
• 10:57
  is an L, so if you're on this side. No,
• 10:59
  if you're on the front on side, then you can
• 11:01
  see just the beginning of the yel tier on the
• 11:03
  right side, so you can see the door. Question and
• 11:07
  from that point at the desk, would you if you remember,
• 11:09
  would you have been able to see mister Epstein cell door?
• 11:12
  Answer from the front of the desk yes. Question would
• 11:16
  you have been able to see into a cell? Answer no? Question.
• 11:20
  Would you have been able to see from I guess
• 11:22
  that spot on the desk anybody entering or exiting the shoe?
• 11:26
  Answered definitely. Question And there was a separate unit that
• 11:30
  got mentioned called ten South. Correct question what is ten South? Answer?
• 11:36
  So on the last tire you can go up the
• 11:38
  stairs and go to ten South. That's a more secure area,
• 11:42
  and it's like a wing up there, but it's laid
• 11:43
  out differently. It's supposed to be more secure than the shoe,
• 11:47
  and shoe is secure. Question what's the typical difference or
• 11:52
  was the typical difference between inmates and ten South versus
• 11:55
  in the shoe? How do you land in ten South? Answer?
• 11:59
  How do you land in ten South? I don't know,
• 12:01
  but I do know that in ten South you're not
• 12:03
  coming out. Whereas they get an hour and show to
• 12:05
  come out, you're not coming out. You can't even go
• 12:08
  to your attorney. The attorney goes up to ten South
• 12:11
  to you. So it's very secure. But as far as
• 12:14
  I know how you get to ten South, I'm not aware.
• 12:18
  Question is it correct that the only way to get
• 12:20
  into ten South is to go through the shoe? Answer?
• 12:24
  Shoe correct. All right, folks, we're gonna wrap up right here,
• 12:28
  and in the next episode dealing with the topic, we're
• 12:30
  gonna pick up where we left off. All the information
• 12:33
  that goes with this episode can be found in the
