- 12:34I thought perhaps she was just an assistant, someone that

- 14:55to take a picture with it, in which Virginia and
- 14:57Andrew sat on a couch. They put the puppet on
- 15:00Virginia's lap and I sat on Andrew's lap, and they

- 28:11Foundation leading answer? Yes, McCauley. What was Maxwell's main job
- 28:17with respect to Jeffrey Manager objection to the foundation, Johanna, Well,

- 29:19me from the house and said that he would be
- 29:20there and if I wanted to come out dinner, then
- 29:23I can meet him. So when I arrived at the house,
- 29:25he wasn't there yet, but I waited with I believe
- 29:28Sarah Kellen, and there was another girl there which I
- 29:31had never met and had never seen. She seemed young
- 29:33to me, and I asked her what school she went to,
- 29:36kind of prodding to see if she went to one
- 29:38of the area colleges. And I did not recognize the
- 29:41name of the school, and so I thought she could
- 29:43be younger than college age. But I had to assume
- 29:46for my own sanity that she was a daughter of
- 29:48one of his friends. McCauley, but it was possible she
- 29:52was the school. Is it possible that the school she
- 29:55referred to was a high school answer yes, McCauley. And

- 30:07be a friend of Jeffrey Epstein's Answer Yes, McCauley. Did
- 30:12Copperfield ever discuss Jeffrey's involvement with young girls with you? Answer?
- 30:17He questioned me if I was aware that girls were
- 30:19getting paid to find other girls? So again, David Copperfield knew,
- 30:23but none of these other so called smartest men in
- 30:26the room had any idea. Huh, I'm calling bullshit from
- 30:29here to next Wednesday. McCauley. Did he ever tell you
- 30:32any of the specifics of that answer? No, McCauley. Did
- 30:36he say whether they were teenagers or anything along those lines?
- 30:40Answer he did not, manager objection, leading calls for hearsay.

- 31:39take you shopping? Answer? Yes, McCauley. Can you describe for
- 31:43me what happened? Answer? Sure, he took me to Victoria's Secret.
- 31:47Of course he did. I believe he picked out everything
- 31:50and went into the room with me, the fitting room,
- 31:52which was very odd. McCauley. Did he make any comments
- 31:56about being in the fitting room with you? Answer? He
- 32:00joked that one time he was in there with another
- 32:02girl and she said something like dad. But that's all
- 32:05I recall. McCauley. Did Jeffrey ever talk to you? Let

- 33:03over to massage? Jeffrey answer? I was living in secret
- 33:07about what I was doing during the massages, and I
- 33:10did not want my friends to be to know what
- 33:12I was doing, so I did not want anyone else
- 33:15coming into that. McCauley was Bill Clinton, a friend of
- 33:19Jeffrey Epstein's Manager Objection Foundation McCauley, let me back up.
- 33:25Do you know if Bill Clinton was a friend of

- 34:46on occasion? Over the five years that you worked for him,

- 36:51progression of her being groomed a little. They got her braces.
- 36:55She had terrible posture, and with a lot of massages,
- 36:58she learned to stand up straight. So I just saw
- 37:00her become a much more confident person. McCauley, do you

- 37:06I assumed she was eighteen, but I don't know her age. McCauley.

- 37:12we'll be back. So we are going to go off
- 37:14the record, and after a ten minute break, they're back. McCauley,
- 37:19I'm just going to resume. I have a few more
- 37:21questions for you. You mentioned visiting the US Virgin Islands. Do
- 37:24you recall doing any activities with Maxwell when you were
- 37:28on the visit to the USVII manager objection vague as
- 37:32the time the witness I don't recall, McCauley. Do you

- 37:50any other time, answer well, she had asked me if

- 37:56to the house McCauley. And what was your understanding of
- 38:00that request? Manager objection? Answer well, manager form witness. I
- 38:07just wondered why they wouldn't just call me. McCauley. And
- 38:11did you bring anybody else over to that house to
- 38:13perform massage? Answer I did not, McCauley. When you were
- 38:18either in the USVII or in Palm Beach, did you
- 38:21ever observe any females either topless or naked by the pool?
- 38:25Answer yes, McCauley. What did you observe? Answer and mostly

- 38:43happen on more than one occasion? Answer yes, McCauley. How
- 38:47often do you remember making those observations? Answer three times. McCauley.
- 38:52Do you recall giving a statement to the police regarding
- 38:55Jeffrey Epstein Answer yes, McCauley. Do you recall when you
- 38:59gave that state? Answer I don't recall the date McCauley.
- 39:03Do you recall the year? Answer? I want to say
- 39:05it was early two thousand and six or late two
- 39:08thousand and five. McCauley, Do you recall who you met with?
- 39:11Answer no. McCauley. Do you recall what you told police? Answer?
- 39:16It was similar to this. They were asking me a
- 39:18lot of questions that I answered. They knew a lot.
- 39:21They knew what the bathroom looked like, they knew what
- 39:23the couch had a hot pink throw on it with
- 39:26green tassels. I assumed that there had been videos and
- 39:29they'd seen me. They had seen the videos. That's what
- 39:32I had assumed. I didn't know that maybe people had
- 39:34already come forward and had given them statements and just
- 39:37to interject the videos again, another person on the inside
- 39:41talking about videos. Yet we have not seen one single video.
- 39:45Question is where are these videos? McCauley. Did they ever
- 39:50talk to you at all about the videos? Answer? They said,
- 39:53were you aware that there were video cameras in the house?
- 39:56I said no, but it would not surprise me. Ms
- 39:59mcaule And I'm going to mark exhibit four. Do you
- 40:02have an extra? Sorry? Did you get one? Okay? Robert
- 40:05zero zero two through eighty nine, and I'm going to
- 40:08direct you to page zero zero zero seventy six, and
- 40:11I'm going to hand it to you. The referred to
- 40:14document was marked by the court reporter for identification as
- 40:17Schoberg Exhibit four. McCauley, I'm just going to ask you
- 40:21to take a look at that. As you can see
- 40:24here under the narrative line there there is a name.
- 40:26It says, reported by Racary, Joseph. Is that a name
- 40:30you recall meeting with a detective detective Racary? Answer? Yes,
- 40:35I mean I don't recall his name, only except that
- 40:38he had been following me around and left me cards
- 40:41like on my car and in my door. I tried
- 40:43to avoid him for a long time. McCauley. And can
- 40:46you just look at the text underneath there? Answer? Uh huh, McCauley.
- 40:50Take a moment to look at that. Answer Okay, sure, McCauley.
- 40:55Does that refresh your recollection as to what you told
- 40:58the police during the investigationation? Answer? There are mistakes in here.
- 41:02I was not twenty three when I met him. I
- 41:04was twenty one. McCauley. Anything else that doesn't look correct?
- 41:08Answer the same error that I had met him three
- 41:11years ago, and it obviously had been closer to five.
- 41:15There is also the error he obviously misunderstood me. He
- 41:18did not pay for my tuition at college. I'm still
- 41:20paying those school loans. But he did pay for me
- 41:23to go to massage school and cosmetology school. Okay, it
- 41:27pretty much ends here McCauley, yes, right about halfway through
- 41:31the page answer. Okay, miss McCauley. So, Johanna, that concludes
- 41:36my initial peace. I'm going to reserve the rest of
- 41:38my time for redirect. I'm going to turn it over
- 41:41to Laura Menager. Who is Laura? Can we just take
- 41:44a little break McCauley's sure, no problem. The videographer off
- 41:48the record at ten oh five, so that looks like
- 41:50the perfect place for us to take a break as well.
- 41:53And then when we pick back up, we'll get to
- 41:55the cross examination by Laura Meninger. All of the information
- 41:59that goes with this episode can be found in the
- 42:02description box.
