Reading the Epstein Files - Virginia Giuffre's Testimony Pt. 4 — Jul 4, 2026 — starts at 0:00
Hello, hello happy What is tonight See friend summer break you ruin me I will wait a minute because I don't think I'm going to mess it up if I do this but I don't think yeah I'm just gonna mess it up. I'm not gonna mess it up I can't see the substack comments. I'm hoping that will that'll pull up for me. But hello, happy Friday night . We are continuing on reading from the Epstein Files . If you have not been here before, my name is Ellie Leonard . I am a writer on Substack and I have linked my YouTube. I am figuring out all the other platforms , bear with me . I am not very good at all of that, but I'm trying. I'm also not very good at like , I don't know if marketing is the right world, but like getting the word out that these things are happening. So if you're watching this after the fact, thank you for showing up and I will try to get better at that. Every week , oh well let me start with this. The reason I'm doing this is because I was part of the Epstein Trump reading room filibuster in New York City, it has now moved to DC and I'm hoping that it will get some more exposure. They're doing good work. But in that time they had people come read for twenty four hours straight and it was a really great opportunity to show people where actually in the files because we talk about the files a lot but we don't always know what's in them and even when we know what's in them there are things that I just feel like tell a better story of the individuals whom we're talking about and make this more real life versus things that we're reading about online or in articles in the newspaper , you know, kind of stepping into conversations and people's lives and understanding them as humans. I sort of equate it to like when you look at black and white pictures you have trouble relating to people, but now that they have AI, which I'm not condon , they can take black and white pictures and really clarify them and make them colored. And sometimes they make them move around a little bit. And all of a sudden you realize that they're just people at another time, but they could be, you know, you or I , I feel like this does the same thing, you know, hearing things in people's voices and their thoughts and the emotions and the things that they're saying and the pauses . I just think that it's really important to like put life behind the words as we dig through these biles and try to, you know, find justice for these women. So So today, something that I like to do every week , you know, if you are feeling generous is I put a QR code up in the corner for some type of nonprofit that goes back to help the community of survivors . I try to be really random with them or just to encourage you to find one in your own area, just google something in your area that helps survivors of sexual assault or hous es the unhoused, you know, women's shelters, food banks, that type of thing. So every time I do this, I put a QR code up in the corner. I will also link it in the notes for the show afterwards if that's easier for you , but this week I picked or this today I guess, I picked the Victim Rights Law Center and that is in Massachusetts and I will read their little blurb. It says The Victim Rights Law Center provides free , comprehensive legal services for sexual assault victims with civil rights issues in Massachusetts. Our attorneys harness their knowledge from representing survivors to trained professionals nationwide to improve the response to sexual violence . Again, you don't have to donate to that specific foundation , but I try to include something different every time that benefits survivors. So if you're feeling generous, please donate. All right , we are going to start letting me do this . There we go . I will also be linking this in the notes. So this is the transcript ofgin Viria Geoffrey during her lawsuit with Galley Maxwell for defamation because of course Virginia Geoffrey was very brave, she stepped forward and then you know, obviously Glain Maxwell lied her ass off. So this is the lawsuit that followed . And this is Virginia's testimony. It's very long. We have been splitting it up . But also it's important to note that Virginia received a settlement. We don't know for how much it will never be enough no matter what it was . And so that was the conclusion of this lawsuit, but then Glenn Maxwell obviously went to trial in twenty twenty one and was convicted on sex trafficking charges and is serving currently a twenty year sentence in a prison camp in Brian, Texas that only houses prisoners with five year sentences or less. Is that corrupt? Yes, it is . So that's why we're doing this. We're going to expose all the things that she did, sorry my no stitches . We're going to expose the things that she did in order to get more information about her case in the h opes that it prevents her from getting the pardon. Okay, so we'll start in the upper left hand corner and this is oh gosh, I'm gonna I don't have the name of her lawyer, where is it Miss Manager? This is Glene Maxwell's lawyer questioning Regina. So Miss Manager starts. Is this your handwriting ? Yes, and she's talking about a passport application . All right, what did you put down as your address at this time to mail the passport to? It's about the second line, third line . Number thirteen ? Well, the third line says mail passport to what address did you put down ? Are we talking about number thirteen? Permanent address, do not list POBOC Street ? No, I'm talking about the third line in the entire thing that says mail passport two . Oh, I'm sorry up here. The redacted redacted redacted alright . So you asked to have the passport mailed to you at your parents' address, right? I don't know if it was mailed to my parents' house, but that's the address I sent put down , yes . Okay , and if you look a little bit further to the right, roughly equal with that line, do you see the date that's stamped on there? Yeah, january twelfth, two thousand one . Okay Okay and then if you go down a little bit further as you pointed out line number thirteen, you gave your permanent address as your parents' address again. Correct ? Correct . If you look at box number twelve where it asks for occupation . What did you write down ? Masus . Okay . And if you look at line number eighteen, have you ever been issued a US passport before? What did you put down ? No ., alright And if you go down a little bit further than that, emergency contact Who did you put down ? James Ostrich, who is Michael, which is her boyfriend ? Okay, so is that the fiancee you were talking about earlier Yes . In January of two thousand one, were you still his fiance affienced, his fiance ? Looks like it, yes . And what address did you put down for James Ostrich ? It's kind of hard to read. I think that's a three. I think it's redacted. I really can't make out the telephone number . Okay , do you see relationship? Can you read that ? Friend . Okay, do you see just below that there's a line that says number twenty one ? Do not stop sorry, do not sign application under requested to do so by administrating an oath . Okay . Applicant's signature age thirteen or older . Oh, it's by the signature line . Yeah , and that's your signature ? Yes . All right, and this is the document that you recall filling out for your first passport. I don't recall doing it, but yes, it's in my handwriting and it's got all my information on it. Okay , and on the line, box twenty three, it's got your driver's license checked off, right? July twenty third. Yeah, I really can't make out the numbers and stuff though . But the box, driver's license is checked off , yes , okay . And then if you look in the lower right hand corner of the page, do you see what we call a Bates stamp number? And that's like the EFTA on the files, little file codes at the bottom. Um I don't know if you know what that means No Just the lower right hand corner of the document Jufre zero zero four seven two one Okay , thank you . So at january two thousand one was James Ostrich living at Bent. I think you said Cak circle ? Well he would have had to have been if I had been put it down there . Okay . Was that the apartment that he had rented? No, it's in Royal Palm Beach. The apartment he rented was in Fort Lauderdale . So this could be my apartment that he lived with me . Okay , so his apartment where he lived with you was in Royal Palm Beach . Yes . And he rented that apartment . This is her lawyer, Brad Edwards, object to the form mischaracterization. He lived there with me for a short period. I don't know how long he lived there with me And who rented that apartment? Well, Jeffrey paid for the apartment. I was the occupant, and he was an occupant. Did you ever see the lease? Yes, I believe I had to sign the paperwork saying that I was living there . So you were living at is it redacted ? I can't honestly read it. It looks like a CA , but that doesn't make sense . So January of two thousand one, you signed a document under oath putting James Ostrich's address at Bent Something Circle, right? Yes . And you put your permanent address and your mail your pass and your mail, your passport to at your parents' address , yes . Is that right ? And it's your position that that is the apartment that Jeffrey paid for and you signed a lease ? Yes, Jeffrey paid for it and I think I had to sign something that said I was going to occupy it. I don't know if James ever did . Okay . And you stayed at that apartment from at least January two thousand one until you left in the fall of two thousand two, right ? I would say before then, yes. Like I said, I can't really tell you the exact date that I moved there, but why did you have your passport sent to your parents house if you weren't living at your parents' house? I don't know. I guess a fail safe, I'm not too sure. When was the next passport that you got? I think I had to reapply for one in Well, this one expired in two thousand two. So I would have had to apply for another one . I'm asking, do you remember when you got another passport ? This expired january tenth, two thousand two . Let me have you put the paper down . Yes . Do you recall applying for another passport ? No . Okay , do you recall ever applying for another passport ever ? Well, yeah, when I got to Australia I had to. I don't have it on me right now, but I can tell you it's I had to apply for another one because the other one ran out as expirate expirate. I can't pronounce any of these words as expired. So whenever one expired, you applied for another one from the US . She indicates with her hands, have you ever gotten, is that right? Yeah . Have you ever gotten a passport from Australia? An Australian passport? Right . No . Have you ever lost a passport and had to get one replaced? I don't think so. When was the first time that you came back to the US from Australia october sixteenth, twenty thirteen ? And did you come back before that? No . Did you ever tell Sharon Churcher or Sharon White or Marianne Strong that you were going on a trip to New York in twenty eleven ? No . Is that your contention that Galaine Maxwell sexually trafficked you to fame is it your content ion that Gallaine Maxwell sexually trafficked due to famous people ? If you have a document in front of you that you could show me so I could see what you're talking about, yes . I am asking you, is it your contention that Galaine Maxwell sexually trafficked you to famous people ? Could you be more specific like are we talking about rock stars or royalty or politically connected and financially powerful people . Yes , okay . To whom did Glaine Maxwell sexually proficute ? You have to understand that Jeffrey and Galaine are joined at the hip by the hip, okay? So they both trafficked me. Gallaine brought me for the purpose of being trafficked. Jeffrey was just as a part of it as she was. She was just as a part of it as he was. They trafficked me to many people and to be honest, there's people I could name and then there's people that are just a blur . So there was so much happening . Okay , please name a person that Galaine Maxwell directed you to go have sex with Prince Andrew . Okay , who else ? As a whole, they both trafficked me to people. It was under both of their directions. So it's not easy just to say Galane. When I say they mean both of them . Okay . Well, I need you to say a time when Galaine Maxwell directed you to go have sex with another person. So can you please tell me to whom Galaine Maxwell asked you to go have sex with another person? Okay, Brad Edwards, objective form . Glenn Dubin , he's a hedge fund manager Who else ? I'm going to continue to tell you that they both directed me to do it. It was part of my training. They both told me you've got tickets to go here . They this is who you're meeting and this is what you're doing . So redacted is another one . Glene Maxwell directed you to go have sex with redacted and Brad Edwards object to the form to the extent it mischaracterizes her testimony . I am trying to tell you that they both did. Galan and Jeffrey both directed me. They both paid me and they both directed me . All right , when did Glene Maxwell direct you to go have sex with redacted ? Objective form, same objection . I don't know the time. I don't you know, I could tell you the place. I don't know the time . What words did Glain Maxwell use in talking to you and asking you to go have sex with redacted ? We're sending you to a gentleman. We want you to show him a good time . We want you to do exactly what you do for Jeffrey to him . Keep him happy . I can't remember her exact words, and I'm not going to put words in my mouth to make it sound like what she said, but it was all along those lines. Those are words that Glen Maxwell used to you in directing you to go have sex with redacted. Objective form mis characterizes her testimony Along those lines, yes , okay . Where were you located when she used those words with you? It could have been Palm Beach, it could have been New York . You don't recall ? I don't recall . Okay . How old were you when she used those words to you? Objective form mischaracterizes her testimony . I don't know. I would think I was seventeen . But you're not sure . Well, it was in the beginning like after my training, Glenn Duman and Redacted were the first two people I was sent out to . Okay, well I was asking about Redacted, okay ? Right ? That's what I'm saying. If you want me to categorically tell you when it happened and why I think I was seventeen because these were the two first people I was sent to . So you don't actually recall the conversation regarding redacted. You don't recall where you were, right? I can't picture if it was new . I know it was either New York or Palm Beach. I don't remember exactly which one . You don't recall exactly what words were used by Glaine Maxwell in speaking to you, correct . I remember the tone that she used, the types of words that she used. I can't word for word replay what she said . All right. And so when in time was redacted relative to Prince Andrew Redacted was months six months. I'm not too sure . Six months, what? Before Prince Andrew I don't know I think I met Prince Andrew in two thousand one and Glenn Dubin and Steven Kaufman were, like I said, the first people I was sent out to after my training . So Steven Kaufman is the person that she's been reacting. So I don't know. I'm going to give you the exact time if I don't know it . I'm asking you in relative order. And I'm asking you, I'm actually gonna hold down that page I don't think that was not supposed to be redacted . Okay , I'm asking you in relative order and I'm trying to give it to you and where does Alan Dershowitz fit into that group of people . Same . I can't tell you piece by piece by piece. I know Glenn Dubin was first . Okay . And I know Steven Cauppan was one of the first I was sent to. Alan Dershowitz could have been there between sorry, between Glenn and Steven. The first time I was with Alan Dershowitz was in New York so I wasn't exactly sent to him. It actually happened at one of Jeffrey's residences and Alan Dershowitz is a very well known , awful lawyer who was Epstein's lawyer is now on, you know, he's been Trump's legal team. He recently became a Republican. I'll let you google him. He's despicable . Okay, it actually happened at one of Jeffrey's residences . So Ms. McCauley leaves the deposition. She's one of the lawyers. So it's very hard for me to chronologically give you each person individually . Okay , name the other politically connected and financially powerful people that Galaine Maxwell told you to go have sex with Again, I'm going to tell you they because that's how it went. They instructed me to go to George Nitchell, Governor of New Mexico , Jean Luc Brunel, owner of MC Squared Models . Bill Richardson, wait, hold on Bill Richardson is governor of now I'm going to mess it up. I think Bill Richardson is the governor of New Mexico. George Mitchell is the other politician. Sorry about that. Bill Richardson, another prince that I don't know his name, a guy that owns a hotel, a really large hotel chain. I can't remember which hotel it was. Marvin Minsky, he is the godfather of AI who was from MIT. He is now dead. There was , you know, another foreign president. I can't remember his name. He was Spanish. There was a whole bunch of them that I just, it's hard for me to remember all of them. You know, I was told to do something by these people constantly. Told told to my whole life revolved around just pleasing these people these men and keeping Glaine and Jeffrey happy. Their whole entire lives revolved around sex . They call misaged sex, they call modeling sex, they call I asked you to name the for the names of the people. I asked you the names for people . Are you going to tell me any other names or is that all of them ? I'm trying to think . That's the answer. I'm trying to give it to you. It's that it 's so hard to just keep naming and naming and naming . All right . A lot of times I would be introduced to them. I didn't know if you're going to tell me more names, please continue your answer . I'm trying to think . If you're just going to talk , I'm sorry. I am trying to think . Okay, let's take a break and then you can think it over the break. I found that very rude. Okay, the videographer were off the record at two hundred one . They come back two hundred nine . Miss Manager goes on with her questioning, miss Jeffrey, you have filed a lawsuit against Galaine Maxwell, correct? Yes. You understand her to be my client, correct? Yes . I'm here today to talk to you about your allegations against Galaine Maxwell , do you understand that? Yes . I want to tell you a single time that you recall , I want you to tell me a single time that you recall Galaine Maxwell using words to you and directing you to go have sex with another person . Object not anybody else, Golane Maxwell . Objection asked and answered to the extent that she can answer the question, I'd ask that she answer the question, Brad Edwards . Okay , and she says, Virginia says, I have answered the question. The question that you're asking me is Golane , and Galane and Jeffrey worked together . They were one and the same of persons . They both directed me to do this. They both directed me to report back to them. They were both the same . You cannot recall a single instance to which Gallaine, I have to excuse me in which Galaine Maxwell alone directed you to have sex with another person. I have to correct believe , Mr. Edwards, object , Miss Manager , I am going to finish my picture I'm going to close my question . Correct . Brad Edwards, are you finished with your question ? Now you may make your objection and then she may answer. Okay , objection. Argumentative, harassing for absolutely no reason, mischaracterizing the witness's testimony. Answer if you can, Virginia says. I have given you the names of people that Glain, herself, has told me to go be sex trafficked too, along with Jeffrey Epstein, okay ? She's the one who brought me to Jeffrey Epstein to be trafficked in the fucking first place . So I have given you as much information as I possibly can to let you know what she was about, who she told me to go with, what she wanted me to do, that is what I am stating, and that's what I previously stated to you . Miss Manager says in these names that you have given are people to whom Galaine, Maxwell alone told you to have sex . Objection, mischaracterization . Galaine and Jeffrey, I don't know how many times you want me to keep answering this question . Both told me to do this, okay? They both sent me to these people. How many times do you want me to answer this ? I think you're answering a different question, so that's why I'm going to ask it again. I'm not asking you anything about a time when Jeffrey and Galaine together told you to go do something. I am asking you to name a single time during which Galaine Maxwell acting alone directed you to go have sex with another person. Objection , asked an answer , harassing, arguminative . I've given you the names of the people that Galaine instructed me to go have sexual relations with. I am not discluding the fact that Jeffrey also told me . Glain told me from her mouth to do these things. Jeffrey told me from his mouth to do these things with these people. Galaine instructed me to do these things that I did with Jeff rey Epstein on that very first meeting that I had with him . She brought me there under the preclusion that I was going to be trained as a masuse and that she instructed me to take off my clothes and to give oral sex to Jeffrey Epstein . Excuse me, I've asked you for other names . I've just given you a name. Jeffrey Epstein is a big name Alright ? She instructed me on that one . So you're saying Mr. Edwards, the witness is finishing her answer right now. She's in the process of explaining one of the people Galane told her to have sex with. Now remember, at this time, Jeffreo fsin is very much alive and he is not in jail. He is walking around. So that is why she's specifically naming Jeffrey Evsen . Miss Manager, so you're saying Glene Maxwell directed you to have sex with Jeffrey Evstein . Correct . Glaine Maxwell directed you to have sex with Glen Dubin Correct . What words did Glain Maxwell tell you to go have sex with Glen Dubin . It was the same all the time, all right? They wanted me to go provide these men with a massage and when they say massage , that means erotic, okay? That's their term for it. I think there are plenty of other witnesses that can attest to what massage actually means. And I'm telling you that Glaine told me to go to Glen Dubin and give him a massage , which means sex . Okay , so Glen Duben, Glene Maxwell told you to give a massage to Glenn Dubin . Correct . That's your testimony . That's my testimony . All right, Glaine Maxwell told you to give a massage to Redacted . I'm guessing this is Stephen what's his name? Correct. Correct . Gallaine Maxwell told you to give a massage to Prince Andrew. Correct? Correct . Gallaine Maxwell told you to give a massage to Bill Richardson, correct? Correct . When did Glaine Maxwell tell you to give a massage to Bill Richardson? I don't know the dates Where were you? When it happens , now what she's doing here and I have no legal mind, but what she's doing here is she's parsing a part that Virginia G ereoff knowys it massage means sex , but she's trying to get Virginia Goofrey to say that Glaine Maxwell asked her to give a massage . Therefore she can separate what Virginia knows a massage to be with what a massage actually means so that she can say Galaine Maxwell just asked her to give massages . That's what she's doing. Okay , back to the questioning. When Galaine Maxwell used the words, go give a massage to Bill Richardson , where were you? Objective form mis characterizes her testimony . I can't tell you where we were. I know where I was sent to. I don't know where we were when she told me to do that . Where were you sent to? New Mexico by Galaine Maxwell . Objective form mischaracterizes her testimony again . Are you smiling at me because no, I'm asking you to answer the question . I have answered the question. I was sent to New Mexico . Okay, where were you sent from? I already answered that. I don't know where I was sent from okay , I was flying everywhere with these people . Where were you sent by Gallaine Maxwell To have sex with John Luke Bruno? Oh, where were you sent by Gallaine Maxwell to have sex with John Luke Branell . Objective form mischaracterizes her testimony . Many places . Glain Maxwell sent you to many places to have sex with John Luig . Objective form . It happened at many places , yes . You had sex with Jean McBrunel at many places is what you're saying, correct? He is also alive at this time . I was sent to Jean McBronel at many places to have sex with him . When did Glaine Maxwell send you to a place to have sex with John LeBronel ? You are asking form me to answer the impossible . Allright , when did Glene Maxwell send you to have sex with the owner of a large hotel chain ? Objective form mis characterization . I'm going to keep answering the questions the same way that I keep answering them. I don't know where it was when she said for me to go do this . Okay where were you sent to have sex with the owner of a large hotel chain by Glaine Maxwell? Objective form . I believe that was one time in France . Which time in France ? I believe it was around the same time that Naomi Campbell had a birthday party . Where did you have sex with the owner of a large hotel chain in France around the time of Naomi Campbell's birthday party . In his own Cabana townhouse thing, it was part of a hotel, but I wouldn't call it a hotel . Jeffrey was staying there, Glaine was staying there, Emmy was staying there, I was staying there, the other guy was staying there . I don't know his name. I was instructed by Galaine to go and give him an erotic massage . She use the words erotic massage ? No, that's my word. The word massage is what they would use. That's their code wor d . Was she in the room when you gave this erratic massage to the owner of a large hotel chain? No, she was not in the room. She was in another cabana . And other than telling you to go give the owner of this large hotel chain a massage , do you remember any other words she used to give you she used to you to direct you in what you should do ? Not at that time, no . Where did where were you and where was Ms. Maswell when she directed you to go have sex with Marvin Minsky ? Objective form I don't know . Where did you go to have sex with Marvin Minsky? I believe it was in the US Virgin Islands. Jeff's sorry, Jeffrey Epstein's island in the U. S. Virgin Islands. And when was that? I don't know . Do you have any time of year ? No . Do you know how old you were? No . Other than Glenn Dubin, Stephen Kaufman, Prince Andrew, Jean Link Bernard, Bill Richardson , another prince , large hotel chain owner, and Marvin Minsky , was there anyone else that Glen Maxwell directed you to go have sex with? I'm definitely sure there was. There is, but can I remember everybody's name? No . Okay, can you remember anything else them ? Look, I've given you what I know right now. I'm sorry, this is very hard for me and very frustrating to have to go over this. I don't recall all of the people. There was a large amount of people that I was sent to. Do you have any notes of all these people that you were sent to? No, I don't Where are your notes ? I burned them When did you burn them ? In a bonfire when I lived at Titusville because I was sick of going through the shit . Did you have lawyers who were representing you at the time you built the bonfire and burned these notes? I've been represented for a long time , but it was not under the instruction of my lawyers to do this. My husband and I were pretty spiritual people and we believed that these memories were worth burning . So you burned the notes of men with whom you had sex while you were represented by counsel in litigation, correct? Object to form . There wasn't anything that was a public document. This was my own private journal and I didn't want it anymore. So we burned it. When did you write that journal ? Just over time. I started writing it probably in, I don't know, I can't speculate twenty twelve, twenty eleven . So you did not write this journal at the time it happened . No , you started writing this journal approximately a decade after you claim you finished being sexually trafficked, correct? Yes . And you started writing a journal after you had a lawyer, correct ? Correct . Including mister Edwards, who is sitting right here , correct? Correct . What did the journal look like? It was green . And what else? It was just a spiral notebook . Okay, and what did you put into that green spiral notebook . Bad memories, things that I've gone through, lots of things, you know, I can't tell you, there was a lot pages. It was over three hundred pages in that book. Did you ever show that book to your lawyers? No. Did you show that book to anyone? My husband . Did you show it to anyone else besides your husband? No . Did you tear out pages and give them to Sharon Churcher? No. I wrote pages that you're talking about I wrote for her specifically. She wanted to know about the Prince Andrew incident. So that's a different piece of paper. Yeah, that's just random paper. So you had a green spiral notebook that you began sometim e in twenty eleven or twenty twelve in which you wrote down your recollections about what had happened to you and you burned it in that bonfire in twenty thirteen. Did I get that right ? You got that right and you have no other names of people to whom you claim Glain Maxwell directed you to have sex? Correct ? At this time, no . Is there any document that would refresh your recollection that you could look at? If you have a document you'd like to show me, I would be glad to look at it and tell you the names I recognize off of it . I'm just asking you if there's a document you know of that has this list of names in it . Not in front of me now . Where is the original of the photograph that has been widely circulated circulated in the press of You with Prince Andrew ? I probably still have it . It's not in my possession right now . Where is it? Probably in some storage boxes ? Where? In Sydney ? Where in Sydney? At some family's house, we got the boxes shipped to Australia and they were picked up off my porch, off the porch by my nephews and brought to their house . Which is where ? In Sydney , where in Sydney ? Redacted. And who lives in that house Well, it's owned by my mother in law and father in law, but my nephews live in the house . What are their names ? I'm not giving you the names of my nephews . What's the address of the house ? Why would you want that? I want to know where the photograph is. I'm asking you where the photograph is and you've just told me it's somewhere in redacted , yes . So where in redacted is the photograph located ? If I can't one hundred percent say that the photograph is there, it could be at my house that I presently live in. I'm not going to give you the address of my nephew's residence . When is the last time you saw that photograph in person when I packed and left America ? Colorado? Yes . Alright, so you have that photograph here with you in Colorado Yes What's on the back of the photograph? I'm sorry . Is there anything on the back of the photograph . There's like the date it was printed, but no writing or anything . Okay , does it say where it was printed ? I don't believe so. I think it just I don't remember I. just remember there's a date on it. Who's camera was it taken with? My little yellow kodak camera? Who took the picture? Jeffrey Evsen . And where did you have it developed? I believe when I got back to Americ a . So where? I don't know. Palm Beach ? I don't know . What is the date the photograph was printed? I believe it's in march two thousand one . Okay , but that's just off my photographic memory. I don't it could be different, but I think it's march two thousand one . You have a photographic memory ? I'm not saying I have a photographic memory, but if I look at the back if I'd look at the back of the photo and I remember what it says, I believe it was march two thousand one . Did the photograph ever leave your possession for a while? I give it to the FBI . Okay, and when did you get it back? When they took copies of it . When was that ? twenty eleven ? When they came in to interview you , yes. So from twenty eleven until you left Colorado, was it in your personal possession ? Yes . What other documents related to this case are in that storage boxes in Australia? Interesting, let me just stop here. Interesting that this was reported and being reviewed by the FBI in twenty eleven , twenty eleven. They had photographs of her with Prince Andrew taken by Jeffrey Epstein with Glenn Maxwell , and he wasn't arrested until twenty nineteen. Just a thought, odd. Okay, I digress . Brad Edward says objective form . And Virginia says documents related to this case there, I don't know. I really can't tell you. I mean, there's seven boxes full of nerf guns, my kids' toys, photos. I don't know what other documents would be in there . Did anyone search those documents after you received discovery requests from us in this case? I haven't been able to obtain those boxes. I can't get them sent back up to me. It's going to cost me a lar ge amount of money and right now I'm trying to look after my family so I'm not able to afford to get them up. You live in Australia, correct? I do. Okay, how far away are the boxes from where you live in Australia. Sydney is down here at the bottom. Karens is up at the top . Okay , it's probably a six day drive . Did you fly here through Sydney? No . Have you been to Sydney since you moved back to Australia? I flew into Sydney with my three kids, but it was a connecting flight to Brisbane . Did you ask your nephews or anyone else to search those boxes in response to discovery requests that they issued in this case . They are my nephews. I would never let them look at those . Other than your green spiral notebook, what else did you burn in the bonfire in twenty thirteen? That was it? That's the only thing ? Yes . Did you use wood ? Yes. Charcoal . My husband built a bonfire out of wood and I don't know what else he put in it. He's the only one he's the one who always makes the fires not me . Who else was present? Just him and I ? Were your kids there? No, they were inside sleeping . And what beach was this? It wasn't a beach , it was my backyard . What's your address? At the time, mhm . Redacted Redacted? Yes . Who were your neighbors? Sweet people, Rayan, I could look on my phone if you want. No, thank you. Do they still live there? Yes. Do you keep in touch with them? Last time I talked to them was a few months ago . Did they see the fire? They've seen many fires that we've had. We've had lots of bonfires there . Did you ever ride in a helicopter with Glene Maxwell acting as a pilot of the helicopter? Yes . Who else was on the flight? I've been on the helicopter with her plenty of times. I can't mention how many people were on the on the helicopter at the same time . How many times I don't know? Do you have helicopter records that you could show me? I'm asking you how many times you were on the helicopter with Glene Maxwell acting as the pilot . It's impossible for me to answer that question without having the actual physical records in front of me. I'm asking you to look into your memory and tell me how many times you recall being on a helicopter with Golane Maxwell at the pilot seat. She's trying to catch her in misremembering something. That's the point. There is no number I can give you. There's plenty of times I've been on her helicopter. Where did you go from and to on the helicopter ? I believe it was, don't quote me on this because I get confused on the islands there. I want to say it was St. John's. It could have been St. B art's St. John's or St. Bart's and then we would go fly straight to Jeffrey's Island . Okay, did you ever go anywhere else in the helicopter? No . Were you ever on the helicopter with Bill Clinton and Gallaine Maxwell as the pilot of the helicopter . No . Were you ever on the helicopter with Bill Clinton's Secret Service and Glaine Maxwell as the pilot? No . Do you recall telling Sharon Churchill that you were ? No . Did you see the press article in which Sharon Church reported that you were ? Objection. Brad Edwards. I just asked that if you're going to ask this witness about a specific article, I'd like for her to see the artic le otherwise she's not gonna testify about it . If you have something to show her , then I need please she goes back. Do you recall seeing a press article in which Sharon Churchill reported that you were on a helicopter with Bill Clinton and Galaine Maxwell as the pilot? Brad Edwards. Again, I will let you answer the question once she's looked at the document that you're being asked about , Miss Manager, you're not letting her answer a question about whether she recalls this particular press statement . Edwards, I will let her answer every question about the press statement as long as she sees the press statement I'm okay with that. She can answer all of them . Miss Manager, no, there is a rule of civil procedure that allows you to direct a witness not to answer a question when there's a claim of privilege. What privilege are you claiming to direct her not to answer this question? Edwards, I thought that you wanted accurate answers from this witness if the Miss Manager I asked her if she recalled something. Mr. Edwards, if the sole purpose is just to harass her , Miss Manager . I asked her if she recalled something, Mr. Edwards, that's just then that's just not going to be what's happening today . She goes back to questioning, all right , so you're refusing to answer a question about whether you recall a particular press statement. Brad Edward says she's and she interrupts him. Is that true? Brad Edwards, she is not refusing to answer any questions . She and then Virginia goes on. I'm not refusing to answer . I just want to see the article you're talking about so I can be clear in my statement . Do you recall seeing the press artic le written by Sharon Churcher reporting that you flew on a helicopter with Bill Clinton and Gallaine Maxwell as the pilot? No, I do not recall reading a press article saying that I was on a helicopter with Bill Clinton and as Gallaine Maxwell is the pilot . Do you recall telling Sharon Schurcher that you had conversations with Bill Clinton regarding him flying on a helicopter with Glaine Maxwell ? I believe that is taken out of context. Glain tolde me that she flew with Bill Clinton in, and Glaine likes to talk a lot of stuff that sounds fantastical. And whether it's true or not, that is what I do recall telling Sharon Churcher. So you told Sharon Churchill that Gallaine Maxwell is the one who told you that she flew Bill Clinton in the helicopter . I told Sharon Churcher that Gallaine flew Bill Clinton onto the island based upon what Gallaine had told me . Not based upon what Bill Clinton had told you. Correct ? Correct . Did you ever ask Sharon Churchill to correct anything that was printed under her name concerning your stories to Sharon Churcher? I wasn't given those stories to read before they were printed . After they were printed did you read them? I tried to stay away from them. They were very hard . You have to understand it was a very hard time for me and my husband to have to have this public . We didn't think it was going to be this public be this publicly announced and that big . So we turned off the news and we stopped reading so many things . You didn't read the articles about your stories to share in Churchill? I've read some articles. Let me finish . You did not read the articles published by Sharon Churchill about your stories to share in Churchill . I have read some articles about what Sharon Churchill wrote a. lot And of the stuff that she writes, she takes things from my own mouth and changes them into her own words as journalists do . And I never came back to her and told her to correct anything. What was done was done . There was nothing else I could do . So even if she printed something that were untrue, you didn't ask her to correct it. Correct ? There was things that she printed that really pissed me off, but there was nothing I could do about it. It was already out there. She printed things that were untrue, correct? Brad Edward's objective form mischaracterization Sorry . I wouldn't say they weren't true. I would just say they were printed she printed them as journalists take your words and turn them into something else. She got it wrong? Objective form, mischaracterization . In some ways, yes. Did she print things in her articles that you did not say to her ? I object , Edwards, and ask thated the witness be given an opportunity to see the document so that she could review it and answer the question accurately. Otherwise she's unable to answer the question I'm not going to allow her to answer . You know the civil rules tell you to suggest answers tell you to not suggest answers to your client . That's Ms. Manager, and she goes on. And you understand your lawyer is now directing you to not all of a sudden remember what your answer is. That's what he's suggesting that you say, so you're not supposed to listen to him, suggest that to you. You're supposed to tell me from your memory. Brad Edwards. That is not what I'm she says, did you? That's not what I'm doing, says Brad Edwards. You don't get to just talk over me and tell my client when not to listen to me. All you have to do to get answers is show her the document you're talking about and a letter answer every question. I don't know why you're so scared of the actual documents . Miss Manager, I don't know why you're scared of your client's recollection, Mr. Edwards, but anyway, Mr. Edwards, why would you do this to her ? She goes back and she says, Did Sharon Churchill print things that you did not say . Brad Edwards, I am going to instruct my client not to answer the question you give her what it is that you were talking about that was printed she will tell you the answer, the accurate answer to your question Oh, unless you give it to her . Just without the documents to refresh her recollection and see it she's not going to answer the question. Miss Manager, did Sherry Churchill print things that you did not say. Brad Edward, same objection, same instruction not to answer. I think I've made my very clear record as to why I want my client to answer all of these questions , but I want her to have a fair opportunity to see this document . Miss Manager, did Sharon Churchill print things that you felt were unaccurate? Brad Edwards, same objection. Same instruction. If she sees the document, she's going to answer every one of these questions . Miss Manager, did you any other reporter print statements that you believe are inaccurate? Brad Edwards, same objection, same instruction . Miss Manager, did any reporter print statements about Glaine Maxwell that were inaccurate. Brad Edwards, same objection, same instruction. This is harassing. This is harassing a sexual abuse victim , and all I'm asking is for fairness that we just let her see the documents so she can answer this. Mrs Manager, Mr. Edward s, please stop saying anything other than an objection, what the basis is or instructing your client not to answer. He says I will do that. Miss Manager, that's what the Federal Rule of Civil Procedures provide. I hear you, he says, They also provide for fairness and civility, and all I'm asking very calmly is for her to see this . Miss Manager, Mr. Edwards, this is not your deposition. I am asking your client what she remembers, if she doesn't want to talk about what she remembers, then let her not answer. But you cannot instruct her to not answer unless there's a privilege. What privilege? He says, I'm instructing her not to answer . She goes back to questioning, alright, you are refusing to answer questions about whether statements to the press about Galley Maxwell attributed to you were inaccurate. Bret Edward says she's not refusing not to answer and Virginia says, You are refusing to show me these documents so I could answer properly. I would give you an answer if you were to show me the documents . Miss Manager says you can't say without looking at a document whether the press attributed to you is accurate or inaccurate. Please show me the document. You can't say from the top of your head whether any inaccurate statement has been attributed to you in the press . Please show me the document and I will tell you . Sure we're on the sit right page. Nope we are not. Hold on. There we go You are refusing to answer my questions about your knowledge of whether inaccurate statements have been attributed to you in the press . Are you refusing to give me the documents to look at? Are you refusing to answer the question? I am refusing to answer the question based upon the fact that you are not being fair enough to let me see the document in order to give you an honest answer. Miss Jo Frey, yes . We are talking about press that has pun published on the internet. Correct? Yes. Do you have access to the internet? Yes . Have you looked on the internet and read articles that attribute statements to you about Glaine Maxwell? Yes . Do you know any statement that has been attributed to you in a press article on the internet about Glene Maxwell that is untrue. Brad Edwards same objection, same instruction . Please show me the specific document . Do you know of any such statement about Glaine Maxwell attributed to you by the press that is inaccurate? If you would please show me the specific document , tell me what Sharon Churchill asked you to write for her . Any knowledge that I had about my time with Prince Andrew and did you write it? Mhm . What did you write it on? In or on paper . What kind of paper? Lind paper . Was it in a book or single sheets ? Single sheets ? And did you write a long document or a short document? What was it I can't recall how long the document was but I would say it would have to be a few pages . And other than asking you to wr ite whatever you remember about Prince Andrew, did she give you any other directions about what you should write ? She was interested in two things really, how Epsin got away with so many counts of child trafficking for sex and how Prince Andrew was involved in it. Those were her two main inquiries What did she ask you to write? She asked me to write about Prince Andrew . Did she tell you what to put ? Did she tell you to put it in your own handwriting? No, she just asked me to write down what I can remember . Did you give her everything that you wrote? Did I give her the whole entire pages that I wrote? Yes. Yeah, I wrote pages for her specifically . In your own handwriting? In my own handwriting. And what you wrote, was that true ? Yes . And did you get paid for those pieces of paper ? Not for the papers, I don't believe. Okay, have you gotten paid when they've been printed, reprinted? No . Have you negotiated any deal with Radar Online ? No . Have you negotiated any deal with Sharon Churchill for the purposes of publishing those pieces of paper ? Not those pieces of paper . When did you write those pieces of paper ? Objective form . A week before she came out and when did you give them to her ? When she came out , when was that ? Sometime I believe in early twenty eleven . And what did you get paid for if not for those pieces of paper? Objective form I was paid for the picture with Prince Andrew with his arm around me, glan in the background, and I was paid for the I guess the print of the stories Anything else? No . You were not paid for those pieces of paper . No . Alright, and how many pieces of paper did you write? Like I said, I'm rounding it to around three . Three pieces of paper . That's what I don't remember to be exact on the number. I'm sorry, but over three pages . And you wrote those sometime in twenty eleven , the week that she was coming out to see me, and you gave them to her, right? I gave them to her. Do you keep a copy of that? No . Did you rip them out to make them look like they came out of a journal? No . Were you directed to make them look like they came out of a journal? No . Do you know why your lawyer would have told the federal judge in New York that's what you did? Objective form . My lawyer in New York . Mhm . Rip them out of a journal? Do you know why she would have said that? Maybe she thought that I did , but you didn't ? They were just some pieces of paper written for Sharon Church's purposes . And not directed to look like they came out from a journal. Nobody told me to make them look like they came from a journal. They were just pieces of paper that I wrote down for Sharon Churchill . Did Glaine Maxwell tell Prince Andrew that you were sixteen years old ? No, I think I think they had played the guessing game that I was seventeen . And so Glene Maxwell did not tell Prince Edwards that you were sixteen . Objective form, speculation . In your presence , I don't remember the exact conversation. I just remember they like to play the guessing game a lot . And so you don't recall Galaine Maxwell telling Prince Andrew in your presence that you were quote only really only sixteen, right? Correct. I don't remember that . And if that were in the paper, that would be untrue. Correct ? Correct . I think now is a good time for a break . Thank you . Mr. Edward says, Okay, sounds good. And the videographer says we are going off the record at two hundred forty five . That looks like just a good time for us to go . Okay , lawyers are frustrating, aren't they? You know, you don't have to be a strong legal mind to know the intent behind a lot of the questions that she was asking Virginia. She's asking her to walk herself back into a corner and say that something is exactly true so that she can discredit her for finding out that maybe that wasn't accurate, maybe that wasn't true, thus all the other things that she's saying are not true. So fortunately, that didn't work out for them, so that's good. But it is good to know some of these names. I'm going to go back and look up that list of names. I apologize for mixing up Bill Richardson and the other guy who I've now already forgotten and pie lcesate and I'm prepared this is how it goes guys. I don't have cue cards. Thank you for joining in . If you would like to come again, I will be doing this Wednesday night. I may start to add Monday nights. Yeah, this Wednesday, I think I should be on this Wednesday. We are traveling on Tuesday . So it could be it could be a little funky on Wednesday, but I'll try to I'll try to get this all set up . Again, up in the corner, we have the Victim Rights Law Center, which provides legal services for sexual abuse victims pro bono. So if you would like you can donate to that link or if you have other people and other services and other nonprofits in your community that can use your help, please donate your funds there today . This is, you know, I do a lot of videos on YouTube and Substack where people can do like paid subs or whatever. This is not the video. These readings are not those videos. These any extra change you have in your cash cushions, I just ask that you pay for itward somewhere that can really use it. So I will be doing that to you . But thank you for joining me tonight and I think that's it have a happy Friday and keep working hard . Again, if you guys want to read the Obscene files yourself and live stream them , you can text me, DM me, email me, whatever information you have, and I will restock those live readings. I think that they are so important. Do them with your friends , your family members, do them by yourself, do them at midnight, three o'clock in the morning, whatever. I will restock them.
