  Speaker 1: email is meant Jeffrey Epstein. Did you also understand Jaye
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: to be Jeffrey Epstein. Answer? I would assume so. Question,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: would you please explain in general what miss Maxwell is
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: saying in this email with the subject line hey at
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the top of the page. Answer I assume she's talking
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: about how she's going to define her relationship with mister
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Abstein with me in her life. Question and to clarify
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: for the sake of the record. When miss Maxwell is
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: referring to quote our relationship in the email, is she
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: referring to her relationship with you? Answer? I don't know.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I assume reading that it was talking about her relationship
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: with mister Ebstein, her work relationship with mister Abstein. But
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: maybe it's our relationship. I can It's not clear, Miss Callen, Yeah,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: it's not clear. Miss Cathay understood, mister squaw Danny, that's
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: a message she wrote, Mister Waite, it's a message she
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: wrote that you're asking about. Yeah, so I don't know
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: whether the hour. I don't know whether the hour means
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Epstein or me. Question. Thank you to the best of
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: your knowledge. What was your reaction to this email when
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you received it? This was sent to you by Glaine.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Answer again, I don't recall. Question. Did you know generally
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: that miss Maxwell was discussing her relationship with you with
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: mister Epstein. Answer yes. Question In the email, miss Maxwell
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: says essentially that mister Epstein is reviewing the logistics of
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: your relationship and their relationship. Is that an accurate characterization,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Miss Callen, I don't know. That that's clear, mister Waite. Yeah,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Miss Cathay understood. In the email, though, she is saying
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: that he is reviewing the aspects of our relationship. Where
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: does it say that, asked mister claw Danny, Miss Cathay.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: It's in the second line before it ends, before without
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: impeding my plans. He's reviewed all the ways for us
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to remain close without impeding any plans or fun that
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: we may have. Miss claw Danny, it sounds like she's
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: reviewing the ways for her and Epstein to remain close.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: That's how I'm reading it, Miss Cathay. Question, you have
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: no reason to believe that she's talking about a relationship
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: with you and logistics of how that will work with
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: mister Epstein being involved. Answer? Yeah, I think it was.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I'm reading it as two separate things. You know, I
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: was reading it as her work relationship with mister Epstein
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and me being in her life. Question we can step
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: back and make it more general though, based on this
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: email and what we're seeing here, did miss Maxwell need
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to be discussing her relationship either with mister Epstein or
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: with you and how those two would work together. Answer?
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Agree that is a bit odd. Question
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: do you think miss Maxwell was seeking mister Epstein's approval
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: of your relationship with her? Answer? I think in a
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: way yes. Question do you feel that that could have
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: had a negative impact on your relationship with her if
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: he had disapproved? Answer? I do not know. Question do
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you think that she would have ended the relationship if
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: he had disproved? Answer? I do not know. Question how
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: often did you and miss Maxwell discuss mister Epstein's opinions
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: of your relationship? In general? Answer? I don't recall. Question
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: did you you ever did you ever discuss your relationship
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: with mister Epstein and miss Maxwell? Answer no. Question did
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: miss Maxwell ever express a desire to stop working for
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: mister Epstein? Answer not that I know of. I wanted
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: her to stop working for mister Epstein. Question did she
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: disagree with you? Were those conversations that you had often? Answer?
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I don't remember a disagreement over that? Question? And why
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: did you want her to stop working for him? Answer?
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Because he was her ex boyfriend. I was just uncomfortable
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: with it. Question there was no specific reason that you
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: were uncomfortable? Answer no question, just in general that he
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: was her ex boyfriend. Answer yes, Mister spector question. You
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: mentioned that the reason you ended the relationship in twenty
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: ten was because you knew you were never going to
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: marry her. Is that right? Answer? Yes? Question did that
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: decision to break up? Did it have anything to do
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: with the continued employment with mister Epstein? Answer? I mean,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I wasn't sure that she was working for mister Epstein
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: at that point in time, but he was a continuous
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: presence in her life. Question and was at presence part
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: of what made you want to end things? Answer? Maybe
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: in a small way, but it wasn't the primary driving factor.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Question Why were you so sure that you weren't going
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to marry her? Answer? It's just the relationship had kind
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: of run its course. I just knew that wasn't right

• 12:53
  Speaker 1: were the reason he was closer to Miss Maxwell? Answer again,
