3 Deposition taken before Wendy Beath Anderson,
4 Certified Realtime Reporter and Notary Public in and for
5 the State of Florida at Large, in the above cause.
6 - - -
7 MR. EDWARDS: We're going to put something on
8 the record about -- well, we'll do it this way --
9 MR. REINHART: Do it at the end, after we get
10 him -- whatever you want. It's your show
11 MR. EDWARDS: Okay. There were don't
12 even think Mr. Willits is aware of this. There was
13 a subpoena duces tecum for this witness, as well as
14 the previous witness, which was another pilot, Dave
15 Rogers, and that duces tecum was to bring the
16 flight logs related from 1998 through 2005. What
17 was produced at the previous deposition were flight
18 logs from 2002 through 2005, and now Mr. Reinhart
19 has agreed to produce the remainder of the flight
20 logs requested, those going from 1998 through 2002.
21 MR. REINHART: Correct. They're pilot logs,
22 not flight logs. There are other records we
23 indicated are corporate records, and with those you
24 have to deal with Mr. Critton.
25 MR. CRITTON: However, with the proviso, too,

1 that we're going to work out that these records are
2 to be used within the confines of this litigation
3 and not to be spread to the press or anyone else,
4 because they do contain confidential information as
5 to who may have been on the plane and other records
6 of Mr. Rogers, which but for the subpoena would
7 have been only available to the FAA or some other
8 law enforcement agencies.
9 MR. EDWARDS: Okay. Is that all you want to
10 put on?
11 MR. CRITTON: Yes.
12 MR. EDWARDS: I'm not saying I necessarily
13 agree or disagree with you. That's something that
14 we'll deal with some other day.
15 MR. CRITTON: Bruce, you'd better produce
16 these records, but there has to be some sort of
17 understanding before --
18 MR. REINHART: Correct.
19 MR. EDWARDS: I won't do anything until you
20 file whatever you until we work whatever it is
21 out in court. I'll say that on the record, that
22 I'm not doing anything with the records outside of
23 my office until some judge deals with it.
24 MR. REINHART: And for the record, I'll adopt
25 what Mr. Critton said on this one limited occasion.

8 BY MR. EDWARDS:
9 Q. Can you tell us your name for the record.
10 A. Lawrence Visoski, Jr.
11 Q. And Mr. Visoski, have you ever had your
12 deposition taken before?
13 A. No.
14 Q. Okay. Here's the process: I'm going to ask
15 you questions. You're going to give us answers. Try to
16 give us answers that we all understand and that the
17 court reporter can take down, such as yes, no, or some
18 other verbal answer that we can understand. It's easy
19 when we get in a casual conversation to nod or shake
20 your head, and the court reporter is not writing
21 pictures or anything else.
22 A. I understand.
23 Q. The other thing is, and I've been accused of
24 this in other depositions -- I don't know if it's true
25 or not -- but I need to wait until you finish answering

2 the question.
3 A. So you're not allowed to interrupt me?
4 Q. And you're not allowed to interrupt me.
5 A. Like I just did?
6 Q. Right.
7 MR. CRITTON: Cara just snickered when you
8 said you've been accused because she recognizes
9 it's true.
10 MR. EDWARDS: I don't know what the meaning of
11 her snickering was.
12 BY MR. EDWARDS:
13 Q. But for what it's worth, if you don't
14 understand the question or I've asked a bad question, I
15 don't want you to guess. Give me the best answer to the
16 best of your knowledge and if you need me to rephrase
17 it, I will.
18 A. Okay.
19 Q. Okay. Tell me your current address.
20 A.
22 Q. How long have you lived there?
23 A. Approximately nine years.
24 Q. Okay. Who do you live there with?

24 them paying you?
25 A. I am chief pilot for the aircraft and

1 helicopters.
2 Q. And do you have a specific boss or somebody
3 you answer to at NES, LLC?

schedule a trip.

1 Q. And it's my understanding from other
2 depositions that there are also apartments in that
building?
4 A. Yes.
5 Q. And Mr. Epstein either owns or leases or rents
6 certain of those apartments. Is that your
7 understanding?
MR. CRITTON: Form; speculation.
9 THE WITNESS: I'm only speculating. I
10 don't -- to my understanding, I don't know.
11 BY MR. EDWARDS:
12 Q. Do you know other people that live in that
13 building?
14 A. Well, it would be myself, Dave Rogers -- well,
15 when you say "live,' explain.
16 Q. When you're saying yourself and Dave Rogers --
17 A. See, we don't live there. I mean, we have --
18 we would stay there when we would have a trip.
19 Q. Okay. When you would fly up to New York and
20 land in New York, the place where you would stay, is
21 that
22 A. Yes, that's correct.

1 Q. What floor or suite number is NES, LLC in?
2 A. I believe -- well, I don't know that NES, LLC
3 has an office there. I know that's where Leslie has the
4 phone number where I call. So I don't know for a fact
S If NES, LLC has an office there.
6 Q. And what suite number, then, would Leslie
:ruff sit in to answer that telephone number at
8
9 A. I think it's III.
10 Q. And when you stay at
11 what suite number or what apartment number do you stay
12 in?
13 A.
14 Q. And how about Dave Rogers, where does he stay?
15 A. I'm guessing, because it's been some time
16 since we've been there, 10B, but don't quote me on it.
17 Q. Who are the other people in that building that
18 you know to stay there on a regular -- fairly regular
19 basis?
20 A. I've seen people in the elevator that, you
21 know, have been on the airplane. Case in point, maybe
22 -• but I don't know for a fact that she lives
23 there, or anybody else for that matter.
24 Q. Okay. When you say you've seen

4 - here or not.
5 O. Where do you think lives?
6 A. I would think she lives there.
7 Q. You don't have a better location?
8 A. I don't have another location.
9 Q. Anybody else?
10 A. Not to my knowledge. I mean, I'd only be
11 guessing that people live in that building that -- you
12 know, I don't have any facts to prove that they actually
13 live there. I mean, I don't think you want me to guess.
14 Q. Well, NES, LLC, would you say that the owner
15 or controller of that company is Jeffrey Epstein?
16 MR. CRITTON: Form.
17 THE WITNESS: I don't know that for a fact.
18 BY MR. EDWARDS:
19 Q. Jeffrey Epstein is somebody you've indicated
20 that you've worked for for 17 or 18 years, right?

2 BY MR. EDWARDS:
3 Q. Well, more so than just a pilot that takes him
4 from Point A to Point B?
A. That is my job.
6 Q. Right. But you know him on a personal level
7 and that you've had personal conversations that don't
8 necessarily deal with flying from Point A to Point B;
9 isn't that right?
10 MR. CRITTON: Form.
11 THE WITNESS: More specific, meaning we talk
12 about cars. I mean, does that make you a personal

16 A. No.
17 Q. Have you been to his New York home?

19 Q. How many occasions have you been to his New
20 York home?
21 MR. CRITTON: Object to form.
22 THE WITNESS: We normally pick up luggage in
23 the lobby, so it would probably be quite often.

25 house and pick up luggage and head to the aircraft.

9 Q. Have you been there?
10 A. Yes.
11 Q. Have you been inside?
12 A. Yes.
13 Q. And how many occasions have you been inside
14 that home?
15 A. The same, as far as picking up luggage, and
16 that would be on a regular basis, you know, for a
17 Aeparture. We wouldn't always go to the house to pick
18 up luggage, but it made it easier for loading the
19 aircraft, getting it done prior to departure.
20 Q. Is that the only reason that you have ever
21 gone to the Palm Beach home over the last 18 years, is
22 to pick up luggage?
23 A. No.
24 Q. What other reasons have you gone there?
25 A. I've set up several home theater equipments,

5 Q. Does he pay you for that?
6 A. Not any more than my salary.
7 Q. What's your current salary?
8 A. At this time, 180,000.
9 Q. And what are you paid $180,000 to do?
10 A. To manage his aircraft.
11 Q. What does that entail?
12 A. Scheduling maintenance. Anything that has to
13 do with any flight, whether it be weather, flight
14 planning, time and distance to and from a location, any
15 logistics involved in running an operation that has
16 aircraft.

1 last time that you were making an amount different than
2 180,000?
3 A. Last year.
4 Q. That would be 2008?
5 A. That would be correct. Yeah, we all took a
6 salary cut, I don't know the exact date. It might have
7 been 2008, last year. It was last Christmas we all took
a 10 percent salary cut.
9 Q. Do you know why?
10 A. Economic reasons.
11 Q. And who told you that you were going to have
12 to take the salary cut?
13 A. Darren Indyke.
14 Q. And did you ask for an explanation?
15 A. He explained it was due to economic reasons
16 throughout the country.
17 Q. Okay. So in 2008, how much was -- were you
18 being paid by NES, LLC?
19 A. 200,000.
20 Q. And is 200,000 the most that you've ever made
21 from NES, LLC?
22 A. Yes, sir.
23 Q. And on top of that $200,000, did you get a
24 bonus that year as well?

1 about?
2 MR. EDWARDS: 2008.
3 THE WITNESS: That year, I think we skipped
4 Christmas bonuses that year. The last bonus might
5 have been 2007.
6 BY MR. EDWARDS:
7 Q. If you ever got a bonus from Mr. Epstein
8 and I'm only deriving this from you using the term
9 "Christmas bonus."
10 A. Holiday bonus.
11 Q. -- am I correct to assume sorry. Am I
12 correct to assume that if you got a bonus, there was
13 only one and it was at the end of the year, around the
14 holidays?
15 A. Yes.
16 Q. Okay. And how much was the 2007 holiday
17 bonus?
18 A. I'd have to ask my wife, to be honest. I
19 haven't seen my paycheck in 27 years, so I believe it
20 was $10,000.
21 Q. And in 2007 you also made $200,000?
22 A. Yes.
23 Q. Okay.
24 A. With a question mark. I'm trying to be as
25 accurate as I can, but yes.

1 Q. Something pretty close to that?
2 A. Yes, sir.
3 Q. Okay. So with the bonus it was 210,000,
4 roughly?
5 A. Right.
6 Q. Okay. And how long were you making that
7 salary?
8 A. Probably -- he was very religious about giving
9 annual increases, so I would probably say 2006, you
10 know, it was -- we would get increment -- increases of
11 five or $10,000 each year. So I would say 2006. So it
12 graduated, you know, progressive.
13 Q. Okay. Do you remember the progression if we
14 start at 1991? Do you remember roughly what the
15 progression was up through 2007/2008, when you were
16 making $200,000?
17 A. No, I wouldn't know the progression.
18 Q. Okay. Do you remember what you were making
19 from and was NES, LLC the company paying you back in
20 1991?
21 A. I don't know. I don't remember. Let me say
22 it that way. I don't remember.
23 Q. Okay. When -- how long do you remember NES,
24 LLC being the payer of your check?
25 A. Personally, two years, because I've never seen

1 my paycheck. So I don't even know what's written on the
2 top of it.
3 Q. That would be something that only your wife
4 would see, I'm assuming?
5 A. You're right, since she probably wouldn't know
6 the answer either, because she's looking at the right
7 column and not the top column.
8 Q. Right. When is the first time that you had
9 heard the name NES, LLC, that company?
10 A. Five, six years, and even questioned what it
11 stood for. And I think to this day I couldn't answer
12 that honestly, what it stands for.
13 Q. Okay. But it's your understanding that the
14 NES, LLC is paying you for the work that you do as a
15 pilot or maintain the planes for Jeffrey Epstein?
16 A. To my understanding, yes.
17 Q. And back in 1991, do you know if it was a
18 different company that was paying you or if it was
19 Jeffrey Epstein directly paying you?
20 A. I don't remember. I mean, I don't.
21 Q. Okay. Throughout your career with -- as a
22 pilot for Jeffrey Epstein, since 1991, has there ever

1 Q. Okay. So whether it was NES, LLC or some
2 other company, it was all of a sudden a company name, to
3 the best of your knowledge?
4 A. Exactly, yes.
5 Q. And back in 1991, do you remember
6 approximately how much you were being paid that year?
7 A. Fifty-five or 60,000, is maybe what I started.
8 Q. Okay.
9 A. You're going back a long ways.
10 Q. Yes.
11 A. I'm trying.
12 Q. Your relationship goes back that far. That's
13 why I chose that year.
14 A. Right.
15 Q• Okay. Did you get bonuses even back that far?
16 A. Yes, sir.
17 Q. And do you remember what your bonuses were
18 approximately?
19 A. 5,000. I mean, that was kind of the -- the
20 starting point.
21 Q. Okay. In addition to monitary bonuses, were
22 - here ever gifts or any other type of compensation that
23 NES, LLC or Jeffrey Epstein provided you?
24 A. Yes.

1 A. Yes.
2 Q. Okay. Tell me what some of those items are.
3 A. I remember one specifically was a pool heater.
4 Q. Excuse me?
5 A. A pool heater.
6 Q. When was that?
7 A. 1995-ish.
8 Q. Okay. Why did you get that?
9 A. I had built a pool and I didn't have a heater
10 and he kind of laughed at me saying, "How can you have a
11 pool without a heater?" So he says, "You ought to get a
12 heater.•
13 Q. Where were you when you had that conversation?
14 A. In the airplane.
15 O. How did he know that you had built a pool?
16 A. Just in general conversation.
17 Q. You were having a conversation with Jeffrey
18 Epstein?
19 A. Yes.
20 Q. And this is something that was happening on
21 the airplane, this conversation?
22 A. During the flight. Yeah, it would have been

2 Q. I understand. We're talking about 1995 right
3 now.
4 A. Yes.
5 Q. You're having a conversation with Jeffrey
6 Epstein. Who is flying the airplane?
7 A. The auto pilot and there's two crew.
8 Q. Okay. So are you back in the back portion or
9 is he up in the cockpit?
10 A. Up in the cockpit.
11 Q. Okay. Jeffrey Epstein sometimes comes up
12 there?
13 A. Just, yeah, in between the two pilot seats.
14 Q. All right. Is that something that was
15 typical, to have conversations like that?
16 A. Mm-hmm.
17 Q. Yes?
18 A. Yes. No nodding.
19 Q. And would those conversations be directed
20 mainly with you or with the other pilots as well?
21 A. Mainly with me.
22 Q. I mean, you've kind of been described as the
23 main guy or the main pilot. Wouldn't you consider that
24 pretty much your role, right?
25 A. Well, that's chief pilot.

4 going to be talking to pilots, right?
5 MR. CRITTON: Form.
6 THE WITNESS: Right.
7 BY MR. EDWARDS:
Q. Okay. And you feel like over the years your
9 relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has been pretty good?
10 A. Yes.
11 Q. And you have been closer to him over the years
12 as you've grown to know him?
13 MR. CRITTON: Form.
14 THE WITNESS: The same throughout the same
15 year. We never got any closer than 1991 than I am
16 with him now. I'm very professional at what I do
17 and know the line between being professional and
18 thinking you're somebody's buddy.

20 Q. Okay. So that's not something that you think
21 you are? You don't think you're his buddy?

7 Q. Ever invited you to dinner?
8 A. No, sir.
9 Q. Have you ever associated or socialized with
10 him during the day at any of his homes?
11 A. Only during a business reason.
12 Q. Okay. What are the other -- are the places
13 that you believe that Mr. Epstein owns? I know we've
14 talked about this Manhattan -- the Manhattan house.
15 I've read the articles about it, the Palm Beach mansion.
16 But what other places are you familiar with that
17 Mr. Epstein owns?
18 MR. CRITTON: Form; predicate, speculation.
19 THE WITNESS: To answer it honestly, I don't
20 know specifically that he owns any of the
21 residences, to be honest. I would only assume that
22 he owns. So if you want me to answer honestly, I
23 don't know that he owns any of the other.

1 assumption that he owns the home in Palm Beach?
2 A. He goes there, but I don't assume -- you don't
3 have to own a house to go to it.
4 Q. And not only does he go there, you're aware
5 that he spends the night there; he resides there
6 sometimes, correct?
7 A. Yes.
8 Q. When he's in Palm Beach, that's where he
9 A. He sleeps.

11 you know where he sleeps?
12 A. No.
13 Q• But you've been to a particular house in New

16 else?
17 A. Yes.
18 Q. Describe it in your own words, the landscaping
19 of this ranch. What do we have on it?

2 Q. Does that seem like it's feasible,
3 approximately 40,000 --
4 A. I think so, yes.
5 Q. What else do we have on it?
6 A. There is a compound that has kind of motel
7 room type -- they call it bunkhouse.
8 Q. Where's the bunkhouse located?
9 A. At the entrance to the ranch.
10 Q. Okay. And what is that primarily used for?
11 A. For the people that work on the ranch, they
12 reside there. It's also a place where anybody that
13 traveled on the airplane would stay. It's kind of like,
14 you know, a hotel room.
15 Q• And how far is that from the first house that
16 you described, the 40,000 square foot house?
17 A. It's probably 4 miles.
18 Q. Okay. So the Zorro Ranch is a rather large
19 area of property?
20 A. Yes.

22 about how many times you've been in the house, but how
23 many times have you been on that ranch in New Mexico,

3 you went to that ranch?

5 our first trip, but 1995/'94.

7 and/or a corporation owned or controlled by him to be

13 from Mr. Epstein?
14 A. I did get land on the ranch to build a house.
15 0. What do you mean you got land on the ranch?
16 A. He deeded me land to build a home.
17 Q. When was that?
18 A. Ten years ago at least.
19 Q. Do you know if he's ever deeded anyone else in
20 this world land on the ranch to build a home?
21 A. Not to my knowledge.

3 for a home and he says, "Well, I have so much land, I
4 could give you a spot to build a home on.' So I built a
5 house.

8 A. Nine years.
9 Q. And that's a home that you own?
10 A. Yes, sir.
11 Q. And that's a home that was -- when I say "you
12 own it,' is there a mortgage on it or did he give it to
13 you free and clear?
14 A. No, no, I paid for the house. I made payments
15 on it.
16 Q. All right. So what did he actually give you?
17 A. 40-acres of land.
18 Q. That you did not have to pay for?
19 A. You know, I'd have to go back and look. I
20 think it was -- I had to pay something for it. I don't
21 remember.

4 been to the Zorro Ranch, you've been to your property
5 that's on the Zorro Ranch?
6 A. Yes, which over the years, it's once-a-year
7 visits. So I mean, it is included in the 50 times that
8 I've been there.
9 Q. Okay. And did you have a conversation with
10 him that led to him giving you or gifting you 40-acres
11 of land?
12 A. We talked about it because he knew I was
13 looking for a home out there.
14 Q. Okay. In gifting you that land, did you
15 consider yourself at that point in time to be more than
16 just his pilot, as more of a friend?
17 A. No. You're using the word "gifting." I paid
18 for the land. I don't recall what it was. But you use
19 the word "friend." I don't know that a -- sure, he was
20 a friend. I mean.. .
21 Q. Well, did he give Dave Rogers any land out on
22 the New Mexico ranch?
23 A. No.

25 that I asked that question, "Did you pay for the

1 40-acres?" I thought your answer was, "I don't know,
2 I'd have to go back and look."
3 Are you saying now that you did pay for that
4 land?
5 A. I don't remember. If there was a sum of
6 money, it was just for, you know, the legal purpose of a
7 transfer of ownership of the land.
Q. Okay. If it was a substantial amount of
9 money, that's something that you would have remembered?
10 A. Oh, exactly. No, it was not a substantial
11 amount.
12 Q. Okay. Do you remember approximately how much
13 money you had to give Jeffrey Epstein for that land?
14 A. I would only be guessing. It might have been
15 five dollars. To my knowledge, I don't remember.
16 Q. Okay. So when I'm saying he gave you the
17 land, he may have actually given you the land?
18 A. Sure.
19 Q. Okay. And to the best of your knowledge, he's
20 never given anyone else land out there?
21 A. Not to my knowledge.

2 Q. Were you ever at that house at the same time
3 when he's at his house that's on that Zorro Ranch?
4 A. Yes.
5 Q. All right. We started back in 1991 with you
6 making around $55,000 a year and that has progressed
7 over time to a point where in 2007 you were making
8 $200,000 a year. I don't want to go through every
9 single year; that would take a really long time. But
10 the progression, was that on a yearly basis normally or
11 after two years or three years?
12 A. Yearly basis.
13 Q. Okay. And would that normally be in
14 increments of?
15 A. $5,000.
16 Q. Okay. You've talked about a couple other
17 gifts that have been given to you from Jeffrey Epstein
18 over the years; one is a pool heater in 1995 and now
19 some 40 acres of land on his New Mexico ranch. Any
20 other gifts you can think about?
21 A. No other gifts.
22 Q. Okay. I don't want to split hairs with you.

4 last, but presumably, that's not the car you've had over

2 A. A Mercedes.
3 Q. And is that something that was also a gift
4 from Mr. Epstein?
5 A. No, sir.
6 Q. What type of Mercedes is that?
7 A. A ML 430, ten years old.
8 Q. All right. Are there any other items
9 company car, the land in New Mexico, the pool heater
10 any other items that Mr. Epstein has given you over time
11 as compensation or reward or anything else?
12 A. No, sir.
13 Q. And your only income is from Mr. Epstein or
14 his companies?
15 A. Correct.
16 Q. Okay. And it's been that way since 1991?
17 A. Yes.
18 Q. How did you meet Mr. Epstein or become
19 involved with him in 1991?
20 A. We heard at the airport that Mr. Epstein was
21 purchasing an airplane when Dave Rogers and myself were
22 living in Columbus, and we had the opportunity to
23 interview with him, and we did and got the job.
24 Q. And this is before he owned the airplane?
25 A. Yes.

1 Q. And which airplane was that?
2 A. The Hawker.
3 Q. Does he still have the Hawker?
4 A. No.
5 Q• How long did he have that plane?
6 A. Five years, guesstimate; four or five years.
7 Q. So sometime in the mid '90s?
8 A. Yes.
9 Q. Did you keep any type of logs or documentation
10 as to who would have been flying on that airplane if you
11 transported any individuals?
12 A. The same logs as you possess now are the
13 flight logs.
14 Q. Okay.
15 A. That's the standard for the industry.
16 Q. So that's something that you kept, or that
17 Dave Rogers kept?
18 A. Dave Rogers.
19 Q. Okay. If there are any documents out there
20 with names of passengers on any of the flights involving
21 planes owned or controlled by Jeffrey Epstein and/or his
22 companies, those would be documents in the possession of
23 Dave Rogers and not yourself?
24 A. Oh, the corporation actually, they belong to.

3 MR. EDWARDS: Okay.
4 BY MR. EDWARDS:
5 Q. What documents do you believe exist that
6 indicate names of individuals that have been passengers
7 on Mr. Epstein's airplanes?
MR. REINHART: Are we going back all the way
9 from '91 to the present?
10 MR. EDWARDS: Sure.
11 THE WITNESS: You're talking about the Hawker?
12 BY MR. EDWARDS:
13 Q. Any airplanes. What documents would there be?
14 A. There would be the same: Flight logs and
15 passenger manifests would exist.
16 Q. And are either of those required?
17 A. The flight log is required for the aircraft to
18 - rack times and landings.
19 Q. And in the flight log, is it required that you
20 designate the names of the passengers?
21 A. No.
22 Q. That's just something that Dave Rogers did on
23 his own?
24 A. Everybody does that. It's more for Internal
25 Revenue.

2 on the plane?
3 A. Exactly, weight and balance.
4 Q. Have you ever kept any flight logs that have
5 names of people on the airplane?
6 A. When you say "kept,' I have filled out flight
.7 logs or the passenger manifest, yes.
Q. By "kept' I meant maintained to where they're
9 in your possession either on paper or computer?
10 A. We keep --
11 MR. REINHART: Can you differentiate a flight
12 log from the pilot's log that we showed you

19 Q. Yeah. I'm asking about, have you kept or do
20 you have any documentation that would indicate the names
21 of passengers that have flown on any of Jeffrey
22 Epstein's planes?

3 Q. In 1991, were you the chief pilot?
4 A. No.
5 Q. Somebody else was the chief pilot?
6 A. Yes.
7 Q. Who's that?
8 A. Dave Rogers.
9 Q. All right. At what point in time did you
10 become chief pilot and switched with Dave Rogers?
11 A. Six years ago; five, six years ago.
12 Q. Why?
13 A. Professionalism, technique.
14 Q. What do you mean by that?
15 A. The way Dave would operate an aircraft,
16 Jeffrey knew the difference when I was flying and when
17 Dave was flying.
18 Q. How do you know he knew the difference?
19 A. Just --
20 Q. He told you?
21 A. Yes. He knew the difference that if he never
22 came up front, he knew who was flying, who landed.
23 Q. And what was the conversation that he had with
24 you that resulted in you becoming chief pilot, switching
25 positions with Dave Rogers?

1 A. Jeffrey would always critique Dave's flying
2 capabilities, and I tried to help Dave and explain to
3 him what Jeffrey likes and doesn't like. And Jeffrey's
4 also conveyed these likes and dislikes. And Dave
5 maintained continuing with certain piloting techniques
6 that were just not comfortable to passengers. And this
7 went on through the years, and Jeffrey just got tired of
8 it one day.
9 Q. What specifically were Jeffrey Epstein's likes
10 and dislikes with respect to the flight of the plane?
11 MR. CRITTON: Let me put in a form here. But
12 I don't know what this has to do with anything in
13 this case.
14 MR. EDWARDS: I understand that, Bob.
15 MR. CRITTON: I want to use this for some
16 other depositions where we -- we've gone beyond the
17 scope.
18 THE WITNESS: The case in point, the last
19 straw was there was a technique called quiet flying
20 where you would retard the throttles well short of
21 the runway and pretty much glide the airplane in.
22 Well, if you don't do that correctly, you have to
23 spool the engines up just prior to touching down
24 that -- because you're losing air speed and it's an
25 uncomfortable sound and feeling for the passengers

1 thinking that you're not going to make the runway.
2 And it was a continuous practice of Dave doing that
3 to be neighbor friendly as opposed to being
4 passenger -comfort friendly.
5 BY MR. EDWARDS:
6 Q. Okay.
7 A. Hence, the transfer of power.
Q. Has he ever discussed with you where he wants
9 you to be, whether that is "stay in the cockpit when I
10 have people on the airplane," or don't intermingle with
11 the passengers or anything else?
12 A. He's never stated that to us.
13 MR. REINHART: Could you clarify which "he"
14 you're talking about?
15 MR. EDWARDS: I'm talking about Jeffrey
16 Epstein.
17 MR. REINHART: Okay.

20 A. Yes.
21 Q. It's my understanding that in the -- well,
22 tell me other than the Hawker, what other airplanes have
23 you flown for Jeffrey Epstein?
24 A. A Gulfstream.
25 Q. Does he still have that plane?

3 A. Large corporate jet.
4 Q. How long has he had it?
5 A. Fourteen years; 13, 14 years.
6 Q. And other than the Gulfstream, what other
7 airplanes does he have?
8 A. When you say 'he," obviously, these are
9 company -owned --
10 Q. Jeffrey Epstein or his companies.
11 A. A Boeing 727.
12 Q. Well, I know that's a very large airplane.
13 think that's been described by other people, so I'm not
14 going to have you do that. But there's partitions in
15 that airplane -- in the back rooms of that airplane,
16 right?
17 A. Yes.
18 Q. Several different partitions to where if the
19 pilot comes out of the cockpit, you don't necessarily
20 see all the passengers?
21 A. Yes.

5 BY MR. EDWARDS:
6 Q. Other than the Gulfstream and the Boeing and
7 the Hawker, what other airplanes has Jeffrey Epstein
owned over the years?
9 A. That is it.
10 Q. And currently still owns -- or the companies
11 associated with him own the Gulfstream and the Boeing?
12 A. Yes.
13 Q. And in the past two years, have you flown
14 those two airplanes?
15 A. Just for routine flights to keep them loose
16 or, you know -- you know what I mean.
17 Q. Have those two airplanes been flown by anyone
18 else in the last two years?
19 A. No.
20 Q. Have those two airplanes been flown in the
21 last two years for any reason other than routine
22 maintenance -type flights?
23 A. We've had one -- two flights I think in the
24 past two years.

1 and who was on the flights?
2 A. One flight I believe we went to Sebring and
3 another flight we went to Nassau, Bahamas.
4 Q. And who did you go to Nassau, Bahamas with?
5 A. I'd have to look at the flight log, but I
6 think it was , I believe. I think
7 that was the three passengers, to the best of my
8 knowledge.
9 Q. And it's my understanding that little
10 St. James is an island that Jeffrey Epstein owns or
11 controls?

24 when he was there, how did that come about?

2 Q. Have you ever stayed at the home that is on
3 Little St. James?
4 A. No.
5 Q. Have you known Jeffrey Epstein to stay at that
6 home?

8 Q. Okay. Do you believe that he is the owner or
9 controller or has some interest in the home or the

3 A. During what period of time?
4 Q. Right.
5 A. Let's see, when did all this happen? What,
6 2007? So eight years prior to whenever he stopped
7 flying.
Q. '98/'99?
9 A. Yeah, I guess, yes.
10 Q. I mean, that sounds like a right
11 A. Sounds about right, yeah. Don't hold me to it
12 again.
13 Q. All right.
14 A. You're going back a long way.
15 Q. So from approximately the '98/'99 time frame
16 when Jeffrey Epstein would fly to Little St. James,
17 would you be the pilot?
18 A. Yes.
19 Q. Okay. And you say that you've been there -- I
20 thought that you just told me that you've been there the
21 same time he was there, but then I thought the
22 subsequent question was well, were you on the flight
23 with him, and I thought your answer was no. Maybe I
24 misunderstood that.
25 A. No, you said the question "Have you ever flown

1 to his island?" We never landed on his island. We
2 landed in St. Thomas.
3 Q. Got it.
4 A. I was just trying to be exact.
5 Q. Thank you.
6 A. It's a small island.
7 Q. Okay. So how is it that when Mr. Epstein
8 "ants to go to Little St. James, what is the path that
9 take to get actually to the island of Little
10 St. James?
11 A. I don't understand the question.
12 Q. Well, you just told me you fly the airplane to
13 St. Thomas?
14 A. Right.
15 Q. And then what?
16 A. Then sometimes I would go get the helicopter
17 or he could also take a boat to the island. But
18 normally the helicopter's located on St. Thomas. I'd
19 fire up the helicopter, come pick him up, drop him at
20 the island and I come back to St. Thomas.
21 Q. And when he stays on St. James, you drop him
22 off on St. James. I suppose you're going to tell me you
23 don't know if he stays there or not?
24 A. Exactly.
25 Q. But do you stay --

6 A. Yes.
7 Q. Okay. Is there a place that you've stayed on
St. James, ever?
9 A. No, I've never.
10 Q. So in the hundred or more times that you've
11 been to the island, is it my understanding that each of
12 those times you've been there to drop off Jeffrey
13 Epstein and/or any passengers and you've immediately
14 left and gone to St. Thomas?

16 Q• You never been inside that home that's located
17 on St. James?
18 A. Yes, I've been inside the home.

5 O. And where to?
6 A. I have flown the helicopter to Fort Lauderdale
7 on several occasions for maintenance. I've flown it to
Miami. And I try to fly the helicopter at least every
9 two weeks just either by myself to run it up to its --
10 it's important that it keeps moving.
11 Q. Other than maintenance -type flights, have you
12 flown the helicopter in the last couple of years?
13 A. Yes.
14 Q. And who was on the helicopter?
15 A. I flew to Miami with Mr. Epstein.
16 Q. When was that?
17 A. It was a couple weeks ago or a month ago, I
18 think.
19 Q. For what?
20 A. Sorry?
21 Q. For what occasion?
22 A. I think he had a meeting with his attorneys in
23 Miami.
24 Q• Today is October the 15th. Is this during the
25 month of October that you had this flight in the

1 helicopter with Mr. Epstein?
2 A. I'd have to look at the book to be exact for
3 you.
4 Q. Okay. But it's either the end of September or
5 the beginning of October?
6 A. Yeah.
7 Q. How do you know that he was meeting with his
8 attorneys?
9 A. I believe that he had mentioned that he was
10 meeting his attorneys.
11 Q. Did he tell you why?
12 A. No.
13 Q. Why did he tell you he was meeting with his
14 attorneys? Did you ask him?
15 A. No.
16 Q. Okay. That's just something that he said to
17 you in conversation?
18 A. Yes, sir.
19 Q. Was there anyone else on the airplane besides
20 you and Mr. Epstein?
21 A. Yes.

1 Q. How long have you known
2 A. I don't know, five years. A guess again,
3 four, five years.
4 Q. Do you know what her relationship is, if any,
5 with Jeffrey Epstein?
6 A. I do not know.
7 Q. Do you know if she knows Jeffrey Epstein?
8 A. I would assume so. They talk. I would
9 imagine she knows him.
10 Q. And how many times has she been on the
11 airplane or the helicopter on flights at the same time
12 as a passenger with Jeffrey Epstein?
13 A. Many. I'd have to look at the logs.
14 Q. Hundreds of times?
15 MR. CRITTON: Form.
16 THE WITNESS: Sure.

18 Q. If you were going to, as somebody who has been
19 Jeffrey Epstein's pilot for 18 years, tell me today who
20 the five closest people are to Jeffrey Epstein, would
21 be one of them?

3 travels with Jeffrey Epstein on the majority of his
4 flights, who are the people who travel most frequently
5 with Jeffrey Epstein?
6 A. I'd have to look at the logs.
7 MR. REINHART: Can we get a time period?
BY MR. EDWARDS:
9 Q. In the last ten years, which people travel
10 most frequently with him?
11 A. I'd have to look at the flight logs to give

1 Q. What's your understanding between the
2 relationship of Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein?
3 A. I don't really know.
4 Q. All right. So when you say you're guessing
5 that and know or are
6 associated with Jeffrey Epstein, that guess is being
7 made on the -- with the observation that they have been
8 frequent flyers with Jeffrey Epstein on more than
9 hundreds of flights on his private plane?
10 A. Yes, that's what I'm basing it on.
11 Q. And do you know where is
12 staying these days?
13 A. No.
14 Q. Do you know what car she's driving these days?
15 A. No, I don't.

24 time?

1 MR. REINHART: Can we clarify? You mean with
2 Mr. Epstein or --
3 MR. EDWARDS: No.
4 BY MR. EDWARDS:
5 0. Did you ever bring from some
6 foreign country into the United States?
7 A. I'd have to look at the log books, honestly.
8 Q. That's not something you remember?
9 A. No. I mean, she -- I think she's been on
10 Europe trips with us, and I think she's returned from
11 Europe with us, but I could not say that honestly.
12 Q. On this recent helicopter flight with
13 and Jeffrey Epstein, did you talk with them
14 during that flight?
15 A. No.
16 Q. Where did the flight go from? And obviously,
17 it landed in Miami, but where did you leave from?
18 A. West Palm Beach.
19 Q. And did and Jeffrey Epstein arrive
20 together?
21 A. You know, I don't remember. I was out at the
22 helicopter and I think they both started walking up. So
23 I don't know if they came separately or not. I was
24 already at the helicopter.
25 Q. How long is that flight from Palm Beach to

1 Miami?
2 A. Twenty-five minutes.
3 Q. And did they talk to one another during that
4 flight?
5 A. No.
6 Q. They were both completely silent during that
7 flight?
A. Yes.
9 Q. Okay. Is that typical when they are on
10 flights together, especially with the helicopter, where
11 you're in pretty close quarters, that they would abstain
12 from speaking to one another?
13 MR. CRITTON: Form.
14 THE WITNESS: Yeah, it would be typical. It's
15 very noisy and communicating in a helicopter is,
16 you know, not that comfortable.
17 BY MR. EDWARDS:
18 Q. Over the last five or six years that you have
19 known or been familiar with , have you
20 heard her and Jeffrey Epstein conversing with one
21 another?
22 A. I've heard them conversing, but if you ask me
23 what they had said, I could say it -- I wouldn't even
24 know what they had said to each other. I've seen them
25 talking to each other.

6 seen or have you seen Jeffrey Epstein speak with
7
8 A. I've seen him speak with her, yes.
9 Q. Can you tell me a single specific conversation
10 that you have overheard between Jeffrey Epstein and
11
12 A. One thing that comes to mind would be make
13 sure we have Oreo cookies on the airplane. It would be
14 something completely nonchalant.
15 Q• Okay. And do you know or have reason to know
16 of any employment relationship between and
17 Jeffrey Epstein?
18 A. I have no knowledge of any of that.
19 Q. Do you know if works for Jeffrey
20 Epstein?
21 A. I do not know.
22 Q. Do you know if schedules massages
23 for Jeffrey Epstein?
24 A. I have no idea.
25 Q• Has Jeffrey Epstein ever indicated to you that

1 he is fascinated or infatuated or appreciates or loves
2 or likes massages?
3 A. I have no knowledge of that.
4 Q. All right. How about Ghislaine Maxwell, has
5 she ever talked to you about massage therapy or have you
6 ever overheard her talking about that?
7 A. No.
8 Q. You certainly read the papers over the last
9 couple of years, correct?
10 A. Not on my top ten list. I mean, I've read a
11 couple articles, but I'm not one to focus on that so
12 much as some people would.
13 Q. Okay. When the investigation about Jeffrey
14 Epstein came about, the criminal investigation -- you're
15 aware that's what I'm talking about, right?
16 A. That was last year?
17 Q. Well, it was a couple years ago.
18 A. Right, okay.
19 Q. Did you speak with Jeffrey Epstein about that
20 investigation?
21 A. No.
22 Q. Were you told not to speak with him about that
23 investigation?
24 A. I think we knew ourselves that we weren't --
25 it wouldn't be proper to even bring it up.

9 involved with underage girls in a sexual way?

2 MR. CRITTON: Form.

4 BY MR. EDWARDS:

10 way or another? If he has personal knowledge --

21 engaged in some sexual conduct with them?

MR. REINHART: I'm going to instruct him not
6 to answer. Move on.
7 MR. EDWARDS: Is there a privilege that we're
8 asserting?
9 MR. REINHART: No, it's irrelevant. It's
10 harassment and not likely to lead to discoverable
11 evidence.
12 MR. EDWARDS: I'm going to put on the record
13 right now that it is -- we are allowed discovery
14 into a RICO count. We are also allowed discovery
15 into the intent of Mr. Epstein in developing a
16 criminal enterprise designed to sexually exploit
17 and sexually abuse underage girls. We believe that
18 in doing so, he associated intentionally with
19 people of similar beliefs that sex with underage
20 girls is okay, and that there have been many
21 discussions with this witness, as well as many
22 other witnesses with -- to insure his protection
23 from law enforcement that they not answer these
24 specific questions. And thus, the opinions and
25 beliefs of all of these witnesses that we are

1 alleging associated with this criminal enterprise
2 are certainly reasonably calculated to lead to the
3 discovery of admissible evidence. And if you're
4 still instructing the witness, based on that
5 proffer, not to answer any of these questions, I'm
6 going to continue to ask the questions and you can
7 instruct him not to answer and we can go to the
8 Court.
9 MR. REINHART: My response is to his opinion
10 whether people making allegations in this case are
11 colluding or making up a story is irrelevant to
12 what you just said. So I am going to instruct him
13 not to answer any question that goes to his opinion
14 of someone else's motivation or the truth of facts
15 to which he has no knowledge.
16 So yes, I'm instructing him not to answer.
17 MR. CRITTON: Let me add in my part, is that I
18 think -- you're certainly not only capable to ask
19 questions with regard to what his personal
20 knowledge is, and if he knows something or he has
21 reasonable basis for it; certainly you are entitled
22 to that information. I think you've asked those
23 questions and he's given you straightforward
24 answers as to what he knew or what he didn't know
25 under those circumstances. And as to what his

1 thoughts are on something which he has no factual
2 basis or even an assumption to know one way or
3 another is irrelevant. That's ultimately for a
4 fact-finder in this case.
5 While it's interesting, it's argumentative and
6 I don't think he's -- I mean, do it on a
7 question -by-question basis. If he has knowledge,
8 that's great, but to argue your case with this
9 witness or any other witness doesn't serve a
10 purpose and I think is, you know -- I think it's
11 not a good use of our time, I'll put it that way.
12 But you know, you can go ahead and ask.
13 MR. EDWARDS: I can ask the question and if
14 the witness is being instructed not to answer,
15 we'll let a judge decide whether he needs to answer
16 the question and whether it's discoverable or not.
17 MR. REINHART: Absolutely. Make your record.
18 BY MR. EDWARDS:
19 Q. Do you have any reason to believe that Jeffrey
20 Epstein engaged in sexual activity with underage women?
21 A. I have no reason to believe.
22 Q. Okay. So as you sit here today, based on your
23 18 years of knowledge, experience and observation of
24 Jeffrey Epstein, is it your belief that he has not had
25 sex or engaged in sexual activity with underage women?

11 Q. All right. Eighteen years of being a pilot
12 for Jeffrey Epstein and in terms of being able to name
13 somebody that you would say you've observed with Jeffrey
14 Epstein and would classify that person as Jeffrey
15 Epstein's friend, can you name anybody?
16 A. ; just people that we see
17 routinely on the airplane.
18 Q. That's people you see routinely in the last
19 five to ten years, right?
20 A. Yes.
21 Q. Prior to that time, anybody that you've
22 noticed as Jeffrey Epstein's friend may be Ghislaine
23 Maxwell?

would classify as Jeffrey Epstein's friend?
2 A. I would classify it. I don't know if it's
3 true.
4 Q. But that's only because they were on the
5 airplane together?
6 I A. Yes.
7I Q. Do you know what Jeffrey Epstein does for a
8 living in your 18 years of observing and talking with
9 Jeffrey Epstein?
10 A. No.
11 Q. No idea?
12 A. No.
13 Q. Ever asked him?
14 A. No, actually.
15 0. Ever been curious?
16 A. Sure.
17 Q. Ever done anything to satisfy that curiosity?
18 A. If you mean Google it, not really, actually.
19 I mean, I really have not.
20 Q. Okay. So in 18 years of traveling and being
21 the pilot and driving -- and taking this person, Jeffrey
22 Epstein, from one property in New York to New Mexico and
23 Florida and around the world, you have no idea what he
24 does in terms of how he makes money?

3 book that I've been provided by Dave Rogers?

10 Q. I didn't know if it was called a flight log.
11 A. Pilot log book, how's that? That's the
12 appropriate name.
13 Q. It was marked as Composite Exhibit 1 in

1 you know who they are. This person right here is
It seems like she flew on numerous flights. Do
3 you know who that is?
4 A. No. I heard the name, but I don't know who
5 that is.
6 Q. All right. Is that somebody that you remember
7 seeing on any of the flights that you were on?
8 A. What year are we talking about here? I don't
9 remember.
10 Q. Well, this is January 2002. You'd probably
11 know how to read this book a little bit better than me,
12 so I don't know.
13 A. He keeps his a lot more current, so I know the
14 name. If she walked in here right now, I would probably
15 look right through her, to be honest.
16 Q. Do you know what affiliation or relationship
17 she had with Jeffrey Epstein?
18 A. No.
19 Q. Okay. There are various -- each row I'm told
20 by David Rogers is a different flight and it indicates
21 where it takes off from and where it lands, et cetera.
22 There's a lot of other information, especially over on
23 this side of the page that I'm not familiar with, nor do

3 2005, on a fairly regular basis. I mean, we're looking
4 at January 6th, 11th, 13th, 13th, 14th, right?
5 A. Uh-huh.
6 Q. I mean, is that something that you would say
7 accurately reflects the amount of use of Jeffrey

1 MR. EDWARDS: This is it?
2 MR. CRITTON: Who took it from the deposition
3 the other day?
4 MR. EDWARDS: I have this one right now.
$ MR. REINHART: That's the only copy?
6 MR. EDWARDS: Okay.
7 MR. CRITTON: So you took the original?
8 MR. EDWARDS: Apparently. It has the original
9 sticker.
10 MR. CRITTON: When I say "the original," the
11 original copy. Would you have someone recreate
12 what you've got and send it to us so we have it?
13 MR. EDWARDS: Sure. In fact, why don't I wait
14 until I get the whole thing and I'll copy all the
15 pages and send it to you instead of piecemeal.
16 MR. HOROWITZ: You mean before the transcript
17 comes?
18 MR. EDWARDS: We can copy it.
19 MR. CRITTON: If you give it to me, I'll copy
20 it and send it back to you.
21 MR. REINHART: I have a copy. It just doesn't
22 have the exhibit sticker on.
23 MR. EDWARDS: That's what was told to me the
24 other day, that's why I took it.
25 MR. CRITTON: I want something -- I just don't

2 sticker on it.
3 MR. REINHART: Or just copy the page that has
4 the exhibit sticker on it.
5 MR. CRITTON: Sorry.
6 BY MR. EDWARDS:
7 Q. Like on this flight, we have "JE." I'm
assuming that's Jeffrey Epstein, correct?
9 A. Yes, I'll assume.
10 Q. "GM," Ghislaine Maxwell, right?
11 A. Yes.
12 Q. ,
13 A. I would assume.
14 Q. I mean -- okay. And then this name, do you
15 recognize that person,
16 A. Never heard it.
17 Q. And then
18 A. Yes.
19 Q. You've heard that name?
20 A. I've heard the name.
21 Q. Not sure who that is, though?
22 A. No.
23 O. There's only one, two, three, four, five, six
24 people on that flight?
25 A. Uh-huh.

1 Q. That's pretty typical of the amount of
2 passengers that you would have on a flight?
3 A. It varied, sure.
4 Q. Okay. But it varied between -- if we look a
5 few lines down, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell
6 were the only two passengers. Certainly there were
7 flights like that as well, right?
8 A. Mm-hmm.
9 Q. And so it varied from having one or two people
10 to six or seven people, right?
11 A. Yes.
12 Q. What's the most people that you remember
13 traveling on any of Jeffrey Epstein's airplanes?
14 A. Twenty-five.
15 Q. Okay. That would be a rarity, wouldn't you
16 say?
17 A. Oh, yeah.
18 Q. Because I've looked through this log. I
19 haven't seen any place where there were 25, but there
20 are lines that have maybe eight or nine people listed.
21 A. Right.
22 Q. Let's see. There's a flight from
23 January 15th sorry, January 17th, January 20th and
24 January 22nd of 2002 that all had . That
25 doesn't serve to refresh your recollection as to who

1 that is, does it?
2 A. No.
3 Q. Okay. Do you know what the purpose of her
4 being on the airplane flight along with Jeffrey Epstein,
5 Ghislaine Maxwell and would be?
6 A. No.
7 Q. Okay. Do you know how it comes about that
8 gets on that flight? How does she even know
9 there's a flight available?
10 A. I don't know.
11 Q. All right. Well, let's go down to somebody
12 that we may all know a little bit better. February 9th,
13 2002, there's a flight that has Bill Clinton, four
14 Secret Service agents and then instead of listing names
15 or initials or anything else, it's just listed as two
16 males, one female, Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell,
17 and I forget who Dave Rogers told me "AP"
18 is. Do you remember who that is?
19 A. No.
20 Q. Okay. Either way, how is it that someone like
21 Bill Clinton gets on a Jeffrey Epstein flight?
22 MR. CRITTON: Form.
23 THE WITNESS: I don't know.
24 BY MR. EDWARDS:
25 Q. Do you know before the flight takes off that

1 Bill Clinton's going to be a passenger on the flight?
2 A. Yes.
3 Q. And how do you know? How do you get that
4 information?
5 A. The day before I'd get a phone call from, say,
6 saying we're leaving tomorrow going to wherever,
7 and sometimes she'll say who's going, sometimes she
won't. On a case where President Clinton would be on
9 board, we would put a little extra catering on board or
10 do that little extra TLC to the aircraft.
11 Q. If it's leaving -- this says it's leaving from
12 MIA and where is it landing?
13 A. HPN I believe is White Plains.
14 Q. Okay. Do you remember that flight?
15 A. I remember being on it.
16 Q. Well, I mean, if you look through here,
17 obviously you had Bill Clinton on the airplane ten or
18 twenty times, right?
19 A. Yeah. He's my main focus. I remember him
20 being on the aircraft, sure.
21 Q. Do you remember him being on the airplane with
22 younger girls?

2 Q. Okay. Do you know what his relationship was
3 with Jeffrey Epstein?
4 A. No.
5 Q. Do you know if they were friends?
6 A. Assuming.
7 Q. But you're assuming why? Just because he's on
8 his plane?
9 A. Yeah.
10 Q. Okay. So you assume that the people that are
11 listed on here are friends of Jeffrey Epstein's and
12 that's why they are riding on his plane?
13 A. I'm speculating.
14 Q. I'm just not familiar with the -- because I've
15 never been on a private flight -- with the manner in
16 which you go about getting on one of these flights. I
17 mean, you have to, I guess, know that Jeffrey Epstein
18 has a plane, that it's going from a destination that you
19 are at and want to go to, and that it's available and
20 those kind of things. Can you tell me, enlighten me --
21 A. Well, it's not publicly offered, no. It would
22 be no different than you jumping in your car and knowing
23 you're going to the mall. I mean, it's not public
24 information, you know, where planes are coming to and
25 from, and you don't put your name out there to get

1 onboard a flight.
2 Q. Does Jeffrey Epstein charge these people as
3 passengers?
4 A. I don't know.
5 Q. Okay. Are these people such as Bill Clinton,
6 does that mean that Bill Clinton called or
7 somebody affiliated with Jeffrey Epstein to get on the
8 plane or that Jeffrey Epstein called Bill Clinton and
9 asked do you want a ride?
10 MR. CRITTON: Form; predicate.
11 THE WITNESS: I have no idea.
12 BY MR. EDWARDS:
13 Q. No idea?
14 A. No idea whatsoever.
15 Q. Joe Pagano, do you know who that is?
16 A. Yes.
17 Q. What's his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein,
18 or what was it back in February -- sorry, March 17th of
19 2002, when he and and Jeffrey Epstein and
20 Todd and one female were on this flight?
21 A. I don't know to what extent or what his
22 relationship is. He just was a passenger on the
23 airplane.
24 Q. Okay. And the next day -- sorry, two days
25 later on the 19th of March, Bill Clinton flies again,

9 MR. EDWARDS: March 19th, 2002.
10 THE WITNESS: EGGW I believe is Luton,
11 England.
12 BY MR. EDWARDS:
13 Q. Okay. Do you remember flying to England?
14 A. I do remember flying to England. I just don't
15 remember that trip. What airplane were we in? We were
16 in the Boeing.
17 Q. Do you remember the purpose of the trip?
18 A. No.
19 Q. Do you know who Doug Band is?
20 A. I heard he's Clinton's, how would you say,
21 assistant. I mean, I've seen that in the newspaper,
22 seen it on CNN.
23 Q. Okay. Did you ever hear that Doug Band and
24 Ghislaine Maxwell were together, even for a day or a
25 night?

5 MR. CRITTON: Form.
6 THE WITNESS: I don't know.
.7 BY MR. EDWARDS:
8 Q. All right. There's another flight here on
9 January -- I can't read this upside down. Maybe it says
10 May

12 Q. 22nd, 2002. Again, with President Bill
13 Clinton, Can you tell me who
14 and are?
15 A. I don't remember.
16 Q. Would you know them if you saw them?
17 A. Probably not because the names don't even ring
18 a bell.
19 Q. All right. And then there are plenty of
20 flights, many of flights where Jeffrey Epstein,
21 Ghislaine Maxwell and are the primary
22 passengers, or at least are some of the passengers on
23 the flights, correct?
24 A. Mm-hmm, yes.

pilot of these flights, you're not sure what their
2 relationship is or whether any of them were socially
3 connected in any real way?
4 MR. CRITTON: Form.
5 THE WITNESS: No. When you're flying the

7 passengers' relations.
BY MR. EDWARDS:

20 remember?

22 Q. No? Is that somebody that you think was a
23 regular flyer for any period of time in Jeffrey
24 Epstein's life?

6 is very unique. So you remember certain things. So I
7 know he who that is.
8 Q. Do you know what he does?
9 A. No.
10 Q. Do you know his association with Jeffrey
11 Epstein, if any?
12 A. No, I don't know what the relationship is.
13 Q. Have you ever heard of him owning or running
14 or managing a modeling company?
15 A. I have seen that in the paper a few years
16 back.
17 Q. Okay. Other than seeing it in the paper, have
18 you ever talked to Jean Luc Brunel or Jeffrey Epstein
19 about owning or running or managing a modeling company?
20 A. No.
21 Q. Do you know if Jeffrey Epstein's affiliated
22 with the modeling company that's owned, run or managed

1 we're referring to the same flight on June 21st of 2002,
2 that includes Jean Luc Brunel, , Jeffrey
3 Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, -• those are the
4 passengers of this flight, does that serve to jog your
5 memory as to who is?
6 A. No. I mean, you see how frequently we fly. I
7 mean, it's -- the passengers in the back are so far
removed from an operation of commanding an airplane like
9 that, it's nothing that sticks in your head.
10 Q. And you as the pilot, is there any way that
11 you would know what's going on in the back of the
12 airplane?
13 A. No. My concerns are all on the cockpit.
14 MR. CRITTON: Brad, the last one that you
15 mentioned, was that the same date, June 21st, '02?
16 MR. EDWARDS: Yes.

9 Q. Do you remember meeting him?
10 A. Yes, I have met him.
11 Q. Do you remember his purpose for being on the

15 being on the airplane?

3 have the original exhibit marked at the deposition.
4 It looks like it's been highlighted.
5 MR. EDWARDS: I highlighted it.
6 MR. CRITTON: Oh, okay. So you've highlighted
7 the original exhibit that's marked for the
8 deposition? I just want the record to reflect
9 that.
10 MR. EDWARDS: Yeah.
11 MR. CRITTON: Okay. Thank you.
12 MR. EDWARDS: At the time I highlighted it I
13 didn't realize I was holding on to the original
14 exhibit. I didn't realize that until you just
15 pointed that out.
16 MR. CRITTON: I've noticed that.

18 I'm giving you my work product as well. I don't

1 you -- that name jogs your memory a little better than
2 some of these other people?
3 A. He dresses uniquely.
4 Q. In what way?
5 A. Just loud clothes, so something that you would
6 remember, that's all.
7 Q. Do you know his role in Jeffrey's life?
8 A. No.
9 Q. Ever heard that he is affiliated with Jeffrey
10 Epstein because they both have a sexual attraction to
11 underage girls?
12 MR. CRITTON: Form.
13 THE WITNESS: You're making an assumption on
14 that.

18 heard that.

22 have not.

2 whether or not you remember her or what --
3 A. I remember the name, you know, that's all.
4 Q. Do you remember about what age she was when
5 she was flying on the airplane?

15 all. So you don't --
16 A. I remember the name, exactly.
17 Q. Other than the name?
18 A. Right, yes, sir.
19 Q. But you can't even come close to putting a
20 face with that name?
21 A. I mean, no. I mean, if you said draw her
22 picture with -- I couldn't come close to even getting
23 it.
24 Q. Okay. You remember this flight where

3 Q. From JFK to what is this, LPAZ?
4 A. LPAZ, that is --
Q• South Africa or something?
6 A. No, it's the Azores Islands, Santa Maria.
7 Q. Do you know the purpose of that trip?
8 A. That was a fuel stop.
9 Q. Okay. And do you know why Chris Tucker and
10 Kevin Spacey were on that airplane?
11 A. No.
12 Q. Did you talk to them?
13 A. They came up in the cockpit and said hello.
14 So they conversed, nothing more.
15 Q. Another name that is on here a few times, I'm
16 specifically referring right now to the dates of
17 September 23rd and 24th of 2002, is Ron Burkle. Do you
18 <now who that is, Ron Burkle?
19 A. I know what that is, yes. I didn't realize he
20 was on our airplane.
21 Q. Right now that is the first time that you
22 remember Ron Burkle being on your airplane?

1 A. No. Granted, I'm seeing this for the first
2 time, so I'm trying to --
3 Q. Let me ask you that. Because this was given
4 to me at a deposition of Dave Rogers, who I understand
5 was the chief pilot for Mr. Epstein, and now you're the
6 cheap pilot, but you always kind of worked in tandem,
7 correct?
8 A. Sure; we complemented each other.
9 Q. And you both worked for the same company that
10 flies Jeffrey Epstein's airplanes, right?
11 A. Yes.
12 Q. So I was of the presumption, which may have
13 been -- I may have been misled here, or I may have, you
14 know, misunderstood the purpose behind this book or how
15 it was created. I thought that you had probably seen
16 this before at some point in time?
17 A. Oh, no.
18 Q. Did you know that Dave Rogers was keeping this
19 book?
20 A. No. I know he keeps a pilot log book.
21 Q. Okay. But you didn't know he was keeping the
22 names of the people who were on the airplane?
23 A. No. It's not required, so I mean, it's.. .
24 Q. So today is the first time that you are
25 learning that the names of the people that are on the

1 airplane was kept by Dave Rogers?
2 A. Yes, in his log book.
3 Q. Okay. And it's my understanding when you fly
4 back into the country through Customs, you have to
5 report the people that are on the airplane, right?
6 A. Yes.
7 Q. And who would create that document or call
that information into Customs?
9 A. Whoever the captain was for the day.
10 Q. At times would that be you?
11 A. Yes.
12 Q. Okay. And at times when you would come into
13 the country with passengers -- well, not at times.
14 Didn't you also have to report their date of birth?
15 A. Sure.
16 Q. At times weren't there also people that you
17 would bring in from other countries into the United
18 States that were under the age of 18?
19 A. Yes.
20 Q. And at some times those were flights that
21 included Jean Luc Brunel and girls that were under the
22 age of 18, right?

4 the age of 18?

6 THE WITNESS: Well, I would have to look at
7 the flight logs.
BY MR. EDWARDS:
9 Q. It's not illegal to have somebody under the
10 age of 18 on a flight anyway, right?
11 A. No, not at all.
12 Q. Were you ever aware that you, as pilot, were
13 transporting girls under the age of 18 who were supposed
14 to be models?
15 MR. CRITTON: Form.

2 time. Do you remember that?
3 A. Yes.
4 Q. Is that somebody that you thought was familiar
5 with the modeling industry or related to the modeling
6 industry?
7 A. No.
8 Q. Okay. And these people, did Jeffrey Epstein
9 ever tell you how he was associated with any of them?
10 A. No.
11 Q. Did you ever wonder how he was associated with
12 any of them?
13 A. No, never interested.
14 Q. And on several of these -- on most of these,
15 the names or initials of the people that are on the
16 flight are listed. Do you know on the occasions where
17 it lists generically two females or three females or six
18 females, do you know why that was done?
19 A. Just because we didn't know our -- the
20 person's name. We tried to do the best we could to keep
21 the records.
22 Q. When you say "we tried to do the best that we
23 could" --
24 A. Dave and I.

1 that he kept anybody's names was today, right?
2 A. Well, I didn't know he kept them in his log
3 book. We would fill out the passenger manifest as
4 we're -- having passengers' names in your pilot log
5 book, he's probably the only person in the world that
6 does that.
7 Q. Okay.
8 A. So when you were mentioning putting the names
9 down, when you said female or male, you know, I was
10 referring to the passenger manifest.
11 Q. For each of these same flights, then, that
12 we're referring to out of this log book that was marked
13 as Composite Exhibit 1 in Dave Rogers' deposition, am I
14 understanding you correctly, then, there would also be a
15 passenger manifest for each of these flights?
16 A. Yes.
17 Q. Now, where would I find the passenger
18 manifest? Who keeps that documentation?
19 A. Corporate -- our corporate office.
20 Q. Which is whom?
21 A. Up in New York, Darren Indyke.
22 Q. At what corporation is that, though?
23 A. NES, LLC, I guess.

3 BY MR. EDWARDS:
4 Q. Did you ever keep a copy of them?

6 Q. Why did you keep a passenger manifest?

9 MR. REINHART: Can I confer with him on one
10 thing before you ask a question?
11 MR. EDWARDS: Yeah, yeah.
12 (Off the record discussion.)
13 MR. REINHART: Mr. Edwards, let him amend his
14 prior answer. I think he misunderstood the
15 question.
16 MR. EDWARDS: I don't know what question we're
17 amounting the answer to.
18 MR. REINHART: Let me clarify this way: As
19 the passenger manifests, they are corporate
20 documents of either JEGE or Hyperion Air, whatever
21 company owns the plane. Mr. Visoski has physical
22 custody of them. He retains them but they're not
23 his documents. They're the corporate documents.
24 So they're not in New York.

2 counsel that has the passenger names on them.
3 BY MR. EDWARDS:
4 Q. Okay.
5 A. It's called a passenger manifest.
6 Q. Okay.
7 MR. REINHART: Right.
8 BY MR. EDWARDS:
9 Q. The passenger manifest, just so I understand
10 exactly what that is, tell me. Tell me in your own
11 words.
12 A. It's departure time, the city, the landing
13 time exactly and the passengers that would have been on
14 that flight.
15 Q. And at times on that passenger manifest would
16 you list also generically female or male?
17 A. Yes. That was the document I was referring to
18 stating that if we didn't know a person, we did not go
19 out of our way to find out a name. We just put in to
20 account for how many people were on the aircraft at that
21 time.
22 Q. Who is currently in the custody or control --
23 sorry. Who currently maintains or has possession of the
24 passenger manifest from 1998 through the present,

1 to Jeffrey Epstein?
2 A. I currently have, which counsel has now, 2005,
3 I believe, until the present time. And the records
4 previous to that I believe were turned into counsel with
5 the previous investigation with Jack Goldberger's
6 office, I believe. I believe they maintain those
7 records.
8 Q. When you say "turned into counsel," there are
9 a lot of counsel involved here.
10 A. Jack Goldberger's office, I believe.
11 Q. When you say "the previous investigation,"
12 you're talking about the criminal investigation?
13 A. Exactly, yes, sir.
14 Q. And you're aware in that criminal
15 investigation, obviously, that Jeffrey Epstein pled
16 guilty to certain charges, correct?
17 A. From what I read, yes.
18 Q. Well, you did visit him in jail, right?
19 A. Yes. We didn't talk about that.
20 Q. Okay. You know in order to go to jail,
21 though, you have to be convicted of some crime, right?

1 you were visiting and you happened to bump into each
2 other. You actually went to see him while he was an
3 inmate in jail?
4 A. Right, yes.
5 Q• Okay. So when we're talking about the
6 criminal investigation, we're talking about the criminal
7 investigation revolving around the allegations of
8 Jeffrey Epstein engaging in sex acts with minors?
9 MR. CRITTON: Form.
10 BY MR. EDWARDS:
11 Q. That's the criminal investigation you're
12 talking about, right?

14 THE WITNESS: I don't know the full definition
15 of really what happened there. I know that it was
16 something to do with solicitation of prostitution.
17 That's all I read.
18 BY MR. EDWARDS:
19 Q. Okay. Were you aware that the allegations
20 revolved around underage girls or girls under the age of

2 Q. Who first made you aware of that?
3 A. The newspaper.
4 Q. Were you ever questioned by the police?
5 A. I don't know who questioned me, actually. I
6 did have a questioning session, but I don't even
7 remember who questioned me.
8 Q. Where did that take place?
9 A. I don't remember.
10 Q. At your house?
11 A. No. I'm thinking it was Jack Goldberger's
12 office, or it may have been downtown at the Palm Beach
13 County Courthouse or something in that area there.
14 Q. Okay. So it either happened at an attorney's
15 office that represented --
16 A. Exactly, yeah, I think so.
17 Q. -- Jeffrey Epstein or the other side?
18 A. Yeah.
19 Q. And during that questioning, is that when you
20 turned over the passenger manifest from prior to 2005?
21 A. Yes.
22 Q. And you turned those manifests directly over
23 to Jack Goldberger?
24 A. Yes. Actually, I believe Dave Rogers did
25 that. I wasn't in possession of those records.

1 Q. And for the passenger manifest prior to 2005,
2 how far do those passenger manifests go back in time?
3 A. They should go back, I guess, to 1991 or
4 whenever we started existence.
Q. And did you turn them over from 1991 all the
6 way through to 2005?
7 A. I don't know. I didn't turn them in. Dave
8 Rogers did.
9 Q. Are you in possession of a copy of any of
10 those materials?
11 A. No.
12 Q. I thought that, you know, ten minutes ago when
13 we were talking about this you said you had them back at
14 an office or --
15 A. That was the office, the airplane office,
16 which I've given to Bruce, which is the current log. He
17 is in possession of them now. I had possession of them.
18 Q. Okay. What he's in possession of -- just so I
19 know what documents are where, he's in possession of the
20 passenger manifests from 2005 through the present?
21 A. Correct.
22 Q. If I want to obtain the passenger manifests
23 from 1998 through 2005, that's something that I would
24 request from whom?

5 BY MR. EDWARDS:
6 Q. You started out by indicating that you sent
7 these passenger manifests, or a copy thereof, to Darren
8 Indyke or someone at NES, LLC; is that correct?
9 A. Correct.
10 Q. If I requested them from NES, LLC, that's
11 somebody at some point in time was in possession of all
12 the passenger manifests?
13 A. Sure.
14 Q. And NES, LLC's address is the one you gave me
15 at
16 A. I believe so. I don't know what address
17 they're using for that. I know that --

5 some aspect of Jeffrey Epstein's life, whatever that is?

7 Q. Okay. So when I'm asking these questions
about these people, and I feel like I'm getting answers

11 accurate, right?

4 same reasons he said two hours ago, for scheduling
5 purposes. But you've covered that. Go ahead and
6 answer it again.
7 THE WITNESS: For scheduling purposes, would
8 be my only reason to call her.
9 BY MR. EDWARDS:
10 Q. That's funny that you used the exact same
11 words that Mr. Critton wants you to use.
12 MR. CRITTON: It's what he said two hours ago.

14 Q. What would be the reason why you would call
15 Ms. Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell?
16 A. Same reason.
17 Q. That's not somebody you call these days,
18 though, right?
19 A. I haven't seen her in some time.
20 Q. What made you stop calling Ghislaine Maxwell
21 where you thought at one point in time you thought she
22 was a person to call related to your job?

10 BY MR. EDWARDS:

13 years ago. I can't answer that accurately. I mean. . .

15 recall?

2 I'm not trying to pull out old documents.
3 MR. CRITTON: What's the date?
4 MR. EDWARDS: March 19th.
5 MR. REINHART: The question is, do you
6 remember the call?
7 THE WITNESS: "Tom from Midnight Express is
8 at" -- help me out -- "convention center with new
9 boat. They are two points -- two parts of this."
10 BY MR. EDWARDS:

19 convention center with new boat. They are two parts
20 of" -- I mean
21 Q. But as Jeffrey Epstein's pilot, why would you
22 be leaving such a message about Tom from Midnight
23 Express relative to boats and a boat show?
24 A. I help out with boat purchases or, you know,
25 anything to do with, you know, that moves. So I mean,

2 Q. Okay. When you say "you help out with boat
3 purchases," what do you mean?
4 A. Give my opinion, whether or not whether to buy
5 a certain boat. It's just a hobby. I have knowledge on
6 boats. Not only just airplanes but, you know.
7 Q. You give your opinion to whom?
A. To Jeffrey.
9 Q. Okay. And Jeffrey Epstein obviously, at least
10 in your mind, you believe he wants your opinion?
11 A. Yes.
12 Q. Okay. So boats is another thing that the two
13 of you have discussed?
14 A. Yes.
15 Q. All right. And so this a conversation or at
16 least some evidence that a conversation existed between
17 yourself and Jeffrey Epstein relative to a boat or a
18 boat show?
19 A. Correct.
20 Q. Do you remember having that conversation?
21 A. We've had many conversations about boats and
22 different boat shows. If you're referring to this one
23 in '05, I don't recall this one.

1 testimony has been, you know, you're just the pilot for
2 him -- it looks like there's some other role that you're
3 playing here in his life. I'm not suggesting that you
4 are or you are not. I'm just saying from the appearance
5 of this, it looks that way. Is there anything else that
6 you want to tell me or that you want to clarify in terms
7 of the role that you play in Jeffrey Epstein's life
8 outside of being just his pilot?
9 MR. REINHART: Let me object to form. He also
10 told you he installs the audio and video equipment
11 before.
12 MR. EDWARDS: Correct.
13 THE WITNESS: I have an interest in boats.
14 You know, with the island, I don't think I bought
15 any boats, you know, for the company, but he
16 appreciates my opinion on boat purchases.
17 BY MR. EDWARDS:
18 Q. Okay.
19 A. Having the knowledge of aviation and things
20 that move quite fast. So I have consulted with him on
21 boat items.
22 Q. How many boat purchases are you aware of
23 Jeffrey Epstein making in the time period that you've
24 known him?
25 A. Two or three.

3 A. Not every one of them, no.
4 Q. Does he own any boats now that you're aware
5 of?
6 A. I don't know if he owns them or not.
7 Q. Okay. Do you know of any boats that he
8 controls or maintains?
9 A. Himself or?
10 Q. How about this -- I'll ask you this way. I
11 don't want to split hairs with you here: I know we've
12 been talking about corporations and things like that.
13 A. Yes he.
14 Q. Do you know of any boats that he is the person
15 with the most control over?
16 A. Yes.
17 Q. Okay. Where would those boats be located and
18 what kind of boat are we talking about?
19 A. St. Thomas is the location. It would be a
20 34-foot inflatable boat. I know that one specifically.
21 Q. Okay. Do you know when he made that purchase?
22 A. Eight years ago, seven years ago. It was a
23 while ago.
24 Q. Is that something you had had input in?
25 A. Not on that one specifically, no.

1 Q. Is there any other boat that you know of
2 Jeffrey Epstein being the primary user of or the primary
3 controller of?
4 A. I mean, there's boats in St. Thomas. I mean,
5 it's not part of my job, you know, what goes on with the
6 boats or who controlled them. It's more of an opinion
7 of what horsepower should be on the back of the boat,
8 hull designs. It's out of my area.
9 Q. But your sole responsibility or your sole
10 obligation that you have ever had with Jeffrey Epstein
11 relative to boats is just giving some opinions about the
12 boat?
13 A. Mm-hmm.
14 Q. Is that yes?
15 A. Yes, yes.
16 Q. Okay. All right. Has he ever given you his
17 opinions about boats?
18 A. Sure. We've discussed it back and forth.
19 Q. Other than boat conversations, have you ever
20 talked other conversations, such as
21 A. Cars.
22 Q. Okay. How about such as -- have you ever
23 known Jeffrey Epstein to have a girlfriend, somebody you
24 consider a girlfriend?

5 Q. Do you know who he has sex with?
6 A. No.
7 Q. Do you know if he has sex with anybody?
8 A. I don't know.
9 Q. Do you know if he's ever had sex on the
10 airplane while you've been piloting it?
11 A. I have no idea.
12 Q. That's something that you just wouldn't know
13 because you're up in the cockpit?
14 A. That is correct.
15 THE WITNESS: Could I take a two-minute
16 bathroom break just to lose my coffee?
17 MR. EDWARDS: Sure.
18 (A break was had at 12:35 p.m.)
19 BY MR. EDWARDS:
20 Q. All right. We're back on the record. Over
21 the years you've indicated that the -- any gifts or
22 other items or things given to you by Jeffrey Epstein
23 exclusively are the pool heater, the 40-acres of land
24 and the --

7 Q. And the flight to Miami that was recently
8 taken, other than Jeffrey Epstein and
9 was there anybody else on that flight?
10 A. No.
11 Q• How long -- did you also fly them back from
12 Miami to Palm Beach?
13 A. No. He drove back.
14 Q. When you say 'he drove back,• who drove back?
15 A. Well, I assume he drove back. I did not fly
16 him back.
17 Q. When's the next time you saw him again?

19 mean.

6 Q. What's the corporation that the document was
7 prepared for?

10 Q. Air Ghislaine?
11 A. That's the helicopter.
12 Q. And the name Ghislaine is obviously not that
13 typical of a name. Is that reference or related to
14 Ghislaine Maxwell?

16 Q. Nobody's ever told you that?
17 A. Nobody's brought it up.
18 Q. Okay. And how long were you at the Sikorsky
19 facility?
20 A. Three hours, four hours.
21 Q. And what time of day was this?

17 Q. Okay. How long have you e-mail corresponded
18 with Jeffrey Epstein?
19 A. Probably two years. A year to two years. I

17 transported the plaintiff to another state in order to
18 engage in sex acts with her. And this occurred when she

2 Q. Well, I know that you've indicated earlier in

5 get back into this, whether all those individuals you
6 were talking about were accompanied by a parent or some
7 of those people were on the airplane for some other
8 purpose, modeling, or you don't know why they were
9 there? I'm going to let you elaborate on who these
10 people are that you believe may have been under the age
11 of 18 and why you think they were on the airplane?
12 MR. CRITTON: Form.
13 THE WITNESS: We've had younger people on the
14 airplane that have been, you know, with their
15 family members, like you said. I don't remember
16 transporting anybody that was of questionable age.
17 I'm not -- I'd only be guessing at somebody's age
18 if I didn't ID them at the foot of the airplane.
19 So I can't guess to their age.

4 Q. Who did you give them to?
5 A. Actually, I didn't give them to anybody. Dave
6 Rogers was in possession of those logs. So I don't know
7 where they are right now.
8 Q. You're still thinking that the best evidence
9 of that, any flight that may have left out of Turkey,
10 would be in the flight logs that's marked as Composite
11 Exhibit 1, or are we talking about the manifests that
12 we've been referring to?
13 A. I don't know how accurate that log book is or
14 even how accurate the passenger manifest is.
15 Q. Okay. So there may be no actual documentation
16 indicating a flight leaving out of Turkey when, in fact,
17 a flight may have left out of Turkey?
18 A. Correct.
19 Q. Okay. The Czech Republic is the next place
20 listed. Is that a place you've flown to or from in a
21 Jeffrey Epstein airplane?
22 A. More specific, could you name the city?
23 Q. I can't name the city, at least the complaint
24 doesn't name the city. But I've been to the Czech
25 Republic before. Anywhere within that country, have you

7 A. Best of my knowledge.
8 Q. -- you don't remember?
9 A. Exactly. Best of my knowledge, I don't
10 remember.
11 Q. Do you remember the reason for going to Turkey
12 or to Prague?
13 A. No.
14 Q. This also says Asia. Have you ever flown to
15 or from Asia with Jeffrey Epstein?
16 A. Yes.
17 Q. Or on a Jeffrey Epstein airplane?
18 A. Yes.
19 Q. Do you know the purpose of those flights to
20 and from Asia?
21 A. No.
22 Q. Did it ever occur to you that maybe it was to
23 pick up minor girls for him to have sex with on the back
24 of the airplane?

7 MR. CRITTON: Form.
8 THE WITNESS: No knowledge of that.
9 BY MR. EDWARDS:
10 Q. Ever picked up girls that looked young, many
11 of whom who spoke no English? Do you ever remember
12 that?
13 A. Zero, do not.
14 Q. All right. The complaint goes on to say,
15 "Plaintiff was required to be sexually exploited by
16 defendant's adult male peers, including royalty." So
17 I 'm going to talk, do you have any familiarity with
18 Prince Andrew?
19 A. I know who he is.
20 Q. Was he ever on the airplane?
21 A. He may have been on the airplane.
22 Q. Do you remember him on the airplane with young

1 meet with Prince Andrew?
2 A. I don't remember. I know that happened, but I
3 couldn't be accurate.
4 Q. Has Prince Andrew ever been on the airplane at
5 the same time as a young girl, to the best of your
6 memory and knowledge?
7 A. To the best of my knowledge, no.
8 Q. This also says politicians, talking about
9 local or U.S. politicians. Do you remember certain
10 politicians being on the airplane?
11 A. No -- I mean yes, I do.
12 Q. What politicians would that be?
13 A. President Clinton.
14 Q. Okay. Who else?
15 A. Former president of Israel -- help me out with
16 the name, Barak?
17 Q. Ehud Barak?
18 A. Yes, those are the two that I remember.
19 Q. How many times was Ehud Barak on the airplane
20 that you piloted for Mr. Epstein?
21 A. Maybe once.
22 Q. And where did that flight pick up and where
23 did it go to, to the best of your memory?
24 A. Best of my memory, it was Palm Beach to
25 Teterboro.

3 Q. And what was the purpose of that flight, do
4 you know?
5 A. I don't know.
6 Q. Was Jeffrey Epstein on the flight?
7 A. I'd have to look at the flight logs to
guarantee.
9 Q. Anything about that flight stick out in your
10 mind?
11 A. None.
12 Q• Such as a fine needing to be paid because it
13 left after 10:00 p.m.?
14 A. For that was the flight, yes.
15 Q. You remember that?
16 A. It's coming back to me.
17 Q. And do you remember young girls being on that
18 flight?
19 A. No.
20 Q. All right.
21 A. I remember the fine.
22 Q. Do you remember who paid the fine?
23 MR. CRITTON: Hold on. Let me object to form
24 of the question. 'Do you remember' it suggests
25 that there were. So form, predicate.

2 Q. Okay. Do you remember who else was on that
3 flight that left after 10 p.m.?
4 A. No, I do not.
5 0. Do you remember why it left after 10 p.m.?
6 A. No, I do not.
7 Q. Do you remember Jeffrey Epstein instructing
8 you to wait until after 10 p.m. to leave?
9 A. No.
10 Q. Would you have listened to him if he had told
11 you -- if he had instructed you to do that?
12 A. I don't understand the question.
13 Q. Well, if he told you wait until after 10 p.m.,
14 I realize there's going to be a fine, but wait until
15 after 10 p.m. to leave, intentionally leaving
16 after 10 p.m., do you remember that instruction ever --
17 A. No, I don't remember that instruction.
18 Q. Okay.
19 A. I mean, it just happened to be departing
20 after 10 and there is a penalty for leaving after 10 for
21 noise. So there was no intention to.. .
22 Q. All right. This also talks about this
23 particular person 15 years old being sexually exploited
24 by businessmen and/or other professional or personal
25 acquaintances. Are you aware of other personal or

1 professional acquaintances of Jeffrey Epstein also
2 sexually abusing or exploiting little kids or underage
3 girls on your airplane?
4 MR. CRITTON: Form.
5 THE WITNESS: No.
6 BY MR. EDWARDS:
7 Q. If you had been aware that Mr. Epstein was --
8 and by this -- this is more in the form of a
9 hypothetical, and that I'm not going to suggest to you
10 it's a fact that he was. But if you had been aware that
11 every single day Jeffrey Epstein's goal was to locate
12 underage girls for the purposes of sex, and either have
13 sex with them on the airplane or at some other
14 designation that you were destination that you were
15 traveling him to, would you have continued to pilot
16 those planes?
17 MR. CRITTON: Form.
18 THE WITNESS: You said it was hypothetical?
19 BY MR. EDWARDS:
20 Q. Right, it is a hypothetical.
21 A. Why would I want to answer that? Because
22 you're being hypothetical. I mean, it would obviously
23 be wrong.
24 Q. Sure. Well, a hypothetical question is a
25 legal question that I'm allowed to ask.

1 A. Okay.
2 Q. And I'm just asking you if you did have
3 knowledge that Jeffrey Epstein was having sex with
4 little girls either on the plane or at a place that you
5 were taking him to or from on a daily basis, that's what
6 he did, would you have continued to be his pilot?
7 MR. CRITTON: Let me object. Object to the
8 form. It's argumentative. It has no more value
9 than assuming he was chopping up bodies or anybody
10 was chopping up bodies in the plane you're flying.
11 What difference does it make? Form.
12 MR. EDWARDS: What difference does it make in
13 a case about him having sex with little girls? I'm
14 not going to argue with you about it. You've
15 stated your objection.
16 MR. CRITTON: Exactly. It's an argumentative
17 question.
18 MR. EDWARDS: I'm not going to argue with you
19 about it.
20 MR. CRITTON: You're arguing with him about
21 now.
22 MR. EDWARDS: No, I'm asking him the
23 hypothetical.

25 Q. Can you answer that? Would you have continued

1 to be a pilot for somebody who's traveling to and from
2 destinations with the goal of having sex with underage
3 girls?
4 MR. CRITTON: Form.
5 THE WITNESS: It could be any person. It
6 doesn't have to be Jeffrey Epstein, then, right?
7 BY MR. EDWARDS:
8 Q• True.
9 A. No, I wouldn't pilot an airplane if there was
10 wrongdoing going on.
11 Q. That you knew about?
12 A. That I knew you about, sure.
13 Q. Me reading this complaint to you, is this the
14 first time you've heard these allegations --
15 A. Yes.
16 Q. -- against Mr. Epstein?
17 A. Yes.
18 Q. It goes on to say, "On one of Epstein's
19 birthdays, a friend of Epstein sent him three
20 12-year -old girls from France who spoke no English for
21 the purpose of -- for defendant to sexually exploit and
22 abuse. After doing so, they were sent back to France
23 the next day."
24 Are you familiar with that occasion?

2 BY MR. EDWARDS:
3 Q. Do you know of any friends that he has in
4 France that would send him birthday -- a birthday
5 present?
6 A. No.
7 Q. Do you know of him receiving any birthday
8 gifts or birthday people from anyone?
9 A. Never.
10 Q. This particular person that filed this
11 complaint, Jane Doe 102, indicates "Defendant and
12 Ghislaine Maxwell acknowledged and celebrated
13 plaintiff's 16th birthday."
14 Do you remember them celebrating somebody who
15 you flew on the airplane's 16th birthday?
16 A. I don't recall.
17 Q. Any of this jog your memory as to who
18 is?
19 A. No.
20 Q. "From the age of 15, plaintiff" -- this Jane
21 Doe 102 -- "was sexually exploited and abused by
22 defendant on a daily basis and often multiple times each
23 day."
24 So going back, was there ever a day where you
25 were with Jeffrey Epstein where you could observe him

1 and during an entire day?
2 MR. CRITTON: Form.
3 THE WITNESS: I don't remember
4 , so I couldn't answer the question.
5 BY MR. EDWARDS:
6 Q. "In September 2002, Defendant Epstein
7 purchased a commercial round-trip airline ticket and
8 provided a passport, U.S. currency and accommodations
9 for plaintiff to fly to Thailand."
10 Do you remember him doing that for anybody
11 around that time period?
12 A. No, sir.
13 MR. CRITTON: What was the date?
14 MR. EDWARDS: September 2002.
15 MR. CRITTON: Okay, thanks.
16 MR. EDWARDS: I have here -- and this is
17 actually my only copy, so I don't mind marking it
18 as a composite exhibit, but we'll either have to
19 copy this while thing or we'll have an agreement of
20 counsel. It's the visitor inmate log from when
21 Mr. Epstein was in jail in Palm Beach.
22 MR. CRITTON: Well, before we get started, it
23 is now 1:15. We started at 10:00.
24 MR. EDWARDS: We didn't really start at 10:00.
25 MR. CRITTON: Shortly thereafter. I was here

1 pretty much after 10. But we've been here since
2 10:00. I want to take a lunch break.
3 MR. EDWARDS: Let's do it.
4 MR. CRITTON: For an hour?
5 MR. EDWARDS: Sure.
6 (A break was had at 1:15 p.m.)
7 BY MR. EDWARDS:
Q. All right. I looked through the inmate log of
9 the visitors who visited Jeffrey Epstein and your name
10 appears one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
11 times.
12 A. Okay.
13 Q. Seem to be accurate in terms of how many times
14 you went to visit him?
15 A. I thought six, but yes, that's.. .
16 Q. I'll let you review the records and tell me if
17 you dispute any of that record. And I'll go ahead and
18 mark that as Composite Exhibit 5.
19 (Plaintiff's Exhibit No. 5 was marked for
20 identification.)

1 A. Yes.
2 Q. Okay. Jeffrey Epstein's plea, I believe, was
3 June 30th, 2008. I think that's when he was taken in
4 custody from there. Your first visit is July 3rd, 2008.
5 And the other name on that visit is Igor 2inoviev. Did
6 you go with Igor to visit Jeffrey Epstein?
7 A. Yes.
Q. Why did you go with Igor?
9 A. It just happened he wanted to see us both at
10 the same time. There was no apparent reason.
11 Q. How did you know that Jeffrey wanted to see
12 you?
13 A. I don't recall who called and told me that he
14 wanted to see me. I couldn't give you an accurate name,
15 whether it was, you know, his attorney, Darren. And
16 actually, I would put a lot weight to I think it was
17 Darren, his attorney
18 Q. That would have made a phone call to you that
19 said
20 A. Yeah, to go.
21 Q. And what did you talk about with Jeffrey
22 Epstein four days after he pled guilty to offenses that
23 landed him in jail?
24 A. I think the first visit was how disappointed
25 or how scared he was, you know, being inside there. We
3527-003

EFTA_00009837

163
1 just talked about general happenings that go on in
2 there.
3 Q. What did he say?
4 A. It's terrible; it's cold; he can't sleep.
5 They wake him up every two hours. You know, just items
6 like that, uncomfortable things. We talked about the
7 airplanes a great deal. You know, we got major
8 maintenance on the big airplane, so we discussed that a
9 little bit. And then it was really just how
10 uncomfortable he was there.
11 Q. How long did you visit with him on that first
12 visit, July 3rd?
13 A. I think we stayed the full hour.
14 Q. All right. Is that what the time allotment
15 was?
16 A. I believe it is, yeah. I don't think you
17 could leave early, or I'm not aware that you could leave
18 early, until later on we found out you could stay for
19 five minutes or longer. But I don't think any of us
20 knew that was -- once you got in there, you stayed there
21 for the hour.
22 Q. Okay. So you talked to him for an hour and
23 for the most part it was just about the conditions and
24 his disappointment with the conditions?
25 A. Sure, yeah, absolutely.

164
1 Q. And did Igor talk to him as well?
2 A. Briefly. I mean, not that much. You're going
3 back a little ways again to remember exactly what was
4 discussed. You know, he asked how his family was doing.
5 I guess Igor's got a son, I think he asked how his son
6 was doing. You know, just general questions like that.
7 Q. Did you ride to the jail that day with Igor?
A. I believe we did. I believe I met Igor
9 probably at Jeffrey's house and picked him up, or if
10 not, we may have met at the airport and drove together.
11 But we did drive together on that occasion.
12 Q. In what vehicle did you drive?
13 A. The Hummer.
14 Q. That's the vehicle you described earlier as
15 the company vehicle?
16 A. Yes, sir.
17 Q. Is that a vehicle paid for by Jeffrey Epstein?
18 A. Meaning?
19 Q. Well, is that a vehicle paid for by you?
20 A. What do you mean "paid for"?
21 Q. Did you purchase the vehicle with your money?
22 A. I didn't purchase that one, no.
23 Q. Do you know if it was purchased by Jeffrey
24 Epstein or a corporation of Jeffrey Epstein's?
25 A. Probably a corporation.

1 MR. CRITTON: Form; move to strike. Sounds
2 like a guess.
3 BY MR. EDWARDS:
4 Q. To the best of your knowledge, that's how most
5 of the items that you've discussed -- that being the
6 Boeing and the Gulfstream -- they were usually held in
7 corporate names, to your knowledge?
8 A. To my knowledge, exactly, yes.
9 Q. And so when you're saying the -- when you're
10 calking about the Hummer vehicle and you're stating that
11 it's likely a corporate entity, is that just something
12 that you're guessing about, or do you have knowledge?
13 A. No, I'm just guessing.
14 Q. Okay.
15 A. I have no proof --
16 Q. -- of ownership of who it's registered to or
17 anything like that?
18 A. Exactly.
19 Q. Is it registered to you?
20 A. No, no.
21 Q. So it's registered to somebody other than you?
22 A. Exactly.
23 Q. Okay.
24 A. I just drive it, I guess.
25 Q. Okay. So on July 5th, 2008, you go back to

1 see him in jail again, and again, Igor Zinoviev is
2 listed as a visitor. Did you go with him together on
3 that occasion?
4 A. I didn't even realize it was two days after
5 the first visit.
6 Q. Well, I mean, you see where this is going?
7 A. Yeah, I do. It gets further apart, yeah.
8 Q. Do you remember what the discussion was on
9 7/5/DS?
10 A. No, because it's probably similar to the first
11 one. I mean, we talked -- actually, one of the visits
12 we talked about fishing and just trying to -- you know,
13 we were talking about things that would just occupy his
14 mind with intelligent conversation that he probably
15 wasn't getting there. So for that hour of the day, I
16 tried to give my best of intelligent conversation to
17 him.
18 Q. Okay. On his visitor log you were the first
19 one to go visit him. Did you know that?
20 A. I did not know that. I wasn't aware of that.
21 MR. CRITTON: Let me just object to form to
22 the last question.
23 BY MR. EDWARDS:
24 Q. Well, at least if these records are accurate,
25 which are the records that were provided to us by the

1 facility that was holding Jeffrey Epstein, they're
2 accurate, your name is the first one listed on the top
3 of the sheet?
4 A. Right. There may have been earlier dates. I
5 have no idea.
6 Q. Well, you know, the first date that he could
.7 have been in there it looks like was 7/1/08 and then,
you know, so I guess somebody could have seen him 7/1 or
9 1/2, but those records were never provided to us. You
10 see we were provided a whole big stack.
11 A. I understand.
12 Q. The next date I'm going to talk to you about
13 is 7/12/08.
14 A. Uh-huh.
15 O. It looks, again, like it's yourself and Igor
16 Zinoviev?
17 A. Mm-hmm.
18 Q. And that's something we talked about in this
19 deposition. I'm going to ask you again, I don't know
20 that you elaborated last time, what is your
21 understanding of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein?
22 Is that a friend of his?
23 A. I don't know his job description. I mean,
24 he's somebody that's around a lot, but I don't know his
25 exact job description. His English is, to say, not

1 100 percent, so conversation with somebody that doesn't
2 fully understand you, you know, you get lost in
3 translation a little bit. So I don't
4 Q. So on these three visits to the jail, the
5 first three that we're talking about that we've talked
6 about so far, each of those times you traveled to and
7 from the jail with Igor?
8 A. Mm-hmm.
9 Q. Yes?
10 A. Yes, yes.
11 Q. And each of those time, is it fair to say you
12 had some form of communication either on the way to the
13 jail or
14 A. Sure.
15 Q. -- to the jail?
16 A. Yeah.
17 Q. Since you're going to see an inmate in the
18 jail, is it a safe assumption a portion of that
19 conversation was about the person that you're going to
20 see and possibly the crime that was committed?
21 A. Yes, that would be a good assumption.
22 Q. Okay. And what was the form -- what was the
23 substance of that conversation that you can remember
24 related to Jeffrey Epstein and the location you were
25 going to visit him?

1 A. I think Igor and I discussed on trying to be
2 upbeat and not look at the position that he's in sitting
3 across the table from us, to be upbeat and uplift his
4 spirits.
Q. Did you and Igor discuss whether or not you
6 were going to talk to him about his plea of guilty or
7 the fact that he's not registered as a sex offender?
8 A. No.
9 Q. Or whether you were going to stay away from
10 those topics?
11 MR. CRITTON: Form.
12 THE WITNESS: We never -- we don't discuss
13 that amongst ourselves and/or with Jeffrey in any
14 way, form.
15 BY MR. EDWARDS:
16 Q. Okay. But that's not -- I realize you didn't
17 discuss that. You've told me that.
18 A. Right, but we didn't discuss that even prior
19 to going in, as you asked.
20 Q. Okay. So your discussion was mainly hey,
21 let's be upbeat?
22 A. Yes.
23 Q. And that was to, in essence, maintain his
24 spirits or raise his spirits?
25 A. Exactly.

1 Q. Okay. And you were doing that as a friend of
2 his, not just his pilot, right?
3 A. I felt honored that he asked me to come and
4 give support like that, because prior to him going away,
5 it was known to us that there was going to be no
6 visitors, because I had offered to him that I would be
7 happy to come and visit him if he deemed it necessary,
8 and he says no, I'm not going to have anybody.
9 Q. So --
10 A. I guess it was so bad there, that he may have
11 changed his mind and wanted to have some visitors.
12 Q. When did you have this conversation with him
13 where he indicated he was not going to have visitors
14 while he was in jail?
15 A. I don't exactly remember. It may have been on
16 the trip heading to Palm Beach, the last flight.
17 Q. From his island, from St. Thomas I guess it
18 would be from?
19 A. I forgot where it started from. It might have
20 been New York or the island, one of the two. I don't
21 remember the last flight.
22 Q. And I mean, did at least the fact come up that
23 hey, this a person who you're is going to be in jail
24 for some time?
25 A. Mm-hmm, yes.

1 Q. And in the course of that conversation, again,
2 the allegations and the unusual I'll call it case
3 against him, that didn't come up between you and
4 Mr. Epstein?
5 A. I never talked about it with him.
6 Q. And at that point in time, what were you aware
of in terms of the number of girls that he was alleged
8 to have had sexual some sort of sexual relationship
9 with him at his Palm Beach house?
10 A. What was the question? How many girls?
11 Q. Yeah, how many girls were you --
12 A. Aware of?
13 Q. -- aware of?
14 A. None. I wasn't aware of any, to be honest.
15 O. The next visit is on 7/17/08 and it's Igor
16 Zinoviev and somebody named Jean Rene and then yourself.
17 Do you know who Jean Rene is?
18 A. No.
19 Q. Do you think that that visit, that you visited
20 him at the same time that Jean Rene visited?
21 MR. CRITTON: What's the date?
22 MR. EDWARDS: It's 7/17/08.
23 THE WITNESS: No, I don't know a Jean Rene,
24 unless somebody came after. I mean, I don't -- I
25 don't know a Jean Rene.

3 the visitors are listed as or
4
5 A. Mm-hmm.
6 Q. Mainly those two individuals. And they list
7 as addresses, as their residence?
8 A. Uh-huh.
9 Q. Given your previous testimony, does that
10 surprise you that they list those that address as
11 their residence?
12 MR. CRITTON: Form.
13 THE WITNESS: I've seen them there, so I mean,
14 I'm not surprised.
15 BY MR. EDWARDS:
16 Q. Okay. Did you know that they were visiting
17 him in jail?
18 A. No, I didn't know who was scheduled to see him
19 or whatever.
20 Q. Did Jeffrey talk to you at any point in time
21 about or
22 A. No, not at all.
23 MR. REINHART: Can we get a time frame for
24 that? Ever?

1 I'm sorry.
2 BY MR. EDWARDS:
3 Q. I was talking right now about in the
4 conversations that you had with him that we've discussed
5 with you and him in the jail facility. Did he discuss
6 with you or
7 A. No, no.
8 Q• Did he talk to you about whether or not you
9 should talk to anybody about his criminal investigation
10 or possible litigation?
11 A. No, not at all.
12 Q. The next time you see him is on August 9th,
13 2008, at the jail. In that occasion it mentions as his
14 visitors that day and
15 Larry Visolli. Did you go to the jail with and
16 that time?
17 A. No. Who was on there? Which one are you
18 referring to?
19 Q. The next one, I tried to highlight them just
20 that
21 A. Right, that one.
22 MR. REINHART: 8/9.

24 Q. 8/9/08?
25 A. One of those two we all drove together. I

1 don't remember which one it was. It was either the 9 or
2 the 16, and then the other one I met everybody there.
3 So I can't be accurate on which time we all drove
4 together.
5 Q. How did you coordinate driving together?
6 A. I don't exactly remember now. I mean, I think
7 and I may have conversed on the phone and said do
8 you want to meet at Jeffrey's house and we all drive
9 together? Does it make sense to get together and drive
10 one car.
11 Q. Is that jail visit the result of Jeffrey
12 Epstein requesting your presence there, or is that the
13 result of you wanting to go see him as a friend in jail?
14 A. A combination of both. I'm sure if I said,
15 Hey, I'd like to come to jail and visit you, that he
16 would either say yea or nay.
17 Q. Okay. And you said at least on one of those
18 occasions you rode to and from the jail with and
19
20 A. Yes.
21 Q. And during any of obviously, when you're in
22 the car together -- well, who's driving the car?
23 A. I was driving, I believe.
24 Q• And that's the Hummer again?
25 A. Actually, I think we take one of the suburbans

1 at the house.
2 Q. Those are cars that Jeffrey Epstein owns, to
3 your knowledge?
4 A. I don't know who owns them.
5 Q. What cars are there that -- I know with this
6 case we're dealing with a lot of corporations and it's
7 not like asking me, Hey, what car do you own? But what
cars are you aware that are -- that you believe are used
9 primarily by Jeffrey Epstein?
10 A. Used primarily by Jeffrey Epstein, a Mercedes
11 S500 sedan. I don't remember the year on that one.
12 Q. Okay.
13 A. There's a Cadillac Escalade.
14 Q. Okay.
15 A. Those are his two main cars that he would be
16 driven in
17 Q. What are the other cars that you regularly see
18 parked at his Palm Beach mansion, if there are any?
19 A. It would be a whole array. Half the time the
20 parking lot is full because of construction workers,
21 yards keepers.
22 Q. Okay. Fair enough. What vehicle does
23 drive or drive when they're down
24 here, if you know?
25 A. I mean, anybody has a choice to pick out a car

1 or whatever there. I've seen driving a Mercedes
2 convertible.
3 Q. Is that different than the Mercedes S500
4 sedan?
5 A. Yes, I think it's different.
6 Q. When you say they have basically a choice of
7 cars to drive --
8 A. Well, there's cars in the lot there.
9 Q. Obviously, they can't get in one of the
10 construction workers' cars?
11 A. No.
12 MR. REINHART: Let him finish his question.
13 BY MR. EDWARDS:
14 Q. So that's kind of what I'm getting at. What
15 other cars do you think that Jeffrey Epstein has --
16 whether it's titled, I don't know --
17 A. Right.
18 Q. but he is the person in control of that
19 vehicle?
20 A. Right.
21 Q. What other vehicles do you think he's
22 controlling in Palm Beach?
23 A. In Palm Beach?
24 Q. We've named the Mercedes S500 sedan, Cadillac
25 Escalade?

4 Q. In addition to that, are there any others that
5 you're aware of?
6 A. That he's in control of?
7 Q. Yes.
8 A. No.

10 and and yourself about the reason why
11 Jeffrey Epstein is in jail?
12 MR. REINHART: Can we get a time frame?
13 MR. EDWARDS: At any time.
14 BY MR. EDWARDS:
15 Q. At any time have you ever had that exact
16 conversation ever come up?
17 A. No, we didn't talk about that among ourselves
18 really.
19 Q. And have you ever been told that
20 provides the role of a sex slave to Jeffrey
21 Epstein? That's just her role in life?
22 MR. CRITTON: Form.
23 MR. REINHART: That's just have you been told
24 that.

2 Q. Have you been led to believe that by anybody?
3 A. No.
4 MR. CRITTON: Form.
5 BY MR. EDWARDS:
6 Q. Do you have any -- based on your observations,
7 do you have any other opinion as to what role she plays
8 in Jeffrey Epstein's life, if any?
9 A. I don't have an opinion on what the role is.
10 Q. Do you agree with the criminal statutes that
11 are in place to protect young children from sexual
12 predators? Do you agree with those statutes?
13 MR. CRITTON: Form.
14 MR. REINHART: I'm going to direct him not to
15 answer the question. It's irrelevant and it's not
16 likely to lead to discoverable evidence what his
17 opinion is on a law that's been passed by the
18 legislature of Florida.
19 MR. EDWARDS: Just so the record is clear, I
20 don't know that we did this last time, but it's
21 been alleged in the complaint it has been
22 alleged in several complaints that Jeffrey Epstein
23 particularly prays on vulnerable disadvantaged
24 females, underage females, and that in order to
25 gain access to the multitude of underage females,

1 he utilizes various people, schedulers, pilots,
2 handlers and other associates and co-conspirators
3 that have a similar mentality; that is, people that
4 do not agree with laws related to sex abuse and
5 abuse of children. And that's why this line of
6 questioning regarding whether or not this witness
7 has a motive or a bias or was involved in
8 conversations related to his motive or bias, to
9 continue to work for Jeffrey Epstein or believed
10 the same beliefs of Jeffrey Epstein, is at least
11 reasonably calculated to the lead the discovery of
12 admissible evidence, and that is the argument at
13 least along those lines being made to the judge
14 regarding these questions.
15 MR. CRITTON: Can we talk for just one minute?
16 Because maybe -- can I talk with -- well, I know I
17 can talk with Bruce. Let's just take a break.
18 (A break was had at 2:45 p.m.)
19 MR. EDWARDS: We're back on the record. Do
20 you have the same position?
21 MR. REINHART: Let me say this: He previously
22 said he would have never allowed anything on the
23 plane to be done illegally. If you want to ask if
24 he agrees with the law applied by the
25 legislature -- do you agree the law passed by the

1 state of Florida should be complied with?
2 THE WITNESS: I don't know what the law is.
3 BY MR. EDWARDS:
4 Q. Okay. The laws in place to protect children
5 under the age of 18 from being sexually touched,
6 fondled, molested by people over the age of 24, do you
7 agree with those laws?
8 A. Yes.
9 Q. And you agree that persons who commit a
10 violation of those laws should be prosecuted?
11 A. Persons that do that.
12 MR. CRITTON: Form.
13 BY MR. EDWARDS:
14 Q. Yes, persons that do that.
15 A. Persons that do that, absolutely.
16 Q. And if you were to receive confirmed -- what
17 you would perceive as confirmed information that Jeffrey
18 Epstein was one of those persons, would you continue to
19 be employed by or alongside of Jeffrey Epstein?
20 MR. CRITTON: Form; speculation.
21 THE WITNESS: You're assuming that there's
22 quilt.
23 BY MR. EDWARDS:
24 Q. No. I'm saying, hypothetically, if you were
25 convinced that Jeffrey Epstein was guilty of those acts

1 which he pled guilty to
2 MR. CRITTON: Form.
3 MR. REINHART: Can we -- for purposes of your
4 hypothetical, what facts do you want him to assume
5 are true? You said the facts to which he pled
6 guilty, but the witness already said he doesn't
7 know what he pled guilty to. He knows the charge
8 he doesn't know the facts.
9 BY MR. EDWARDS:
10 Q. Solicitation of prostitution of a minor,
11 somebody under the age of 18.
12 MR. EDWARDS: That's the charge, right,
13 solicitation of prostitution of a minor?
14 MR. CRITTON: No. I think you've got it
15 wrong. I'll object to the form.
16 MR. EDWARDS: Okay.
17 BY MR. EDWARDS:
18 Q. Then we'll handle the question this way: If
19 you were to believe based on information and evidence
20 that Mr. Epstein engaged in sex or some form of sex acts
21 with people of the age range of 12, 13, 14, 15 years
22 old, would you continue your employment with
23 Mr. Epstein?
24 MR. CRITTON: Form; speculation.
25 THE WITNESS: I would certainly be speculating

1 and I have to discuss it with my wife long and
2 hard. I don't think I could give you a correct and
3 honest answer at this time.
4 BY MR. EDWARDS:
5 O. Okay. Given the allegations that have been
6 made in this case, is this something that you have
7 discussed with anyone other than your attorney?
8 A. No, not really. Only from the fact that
9 they're allegations and there's still a lot more work,
10 I 'm sure, to be discovered.
11 MR. CRITTON: Let me put on there, for the --
12 if this deposition is not typed -- and we request
13 it -- I'd like at least this portion where
14 Mr. Edwards' last question back about five pages
15 worth, so just if you could mark it from this
16 page back about five pages.
17 If nobody requests the deposition, I'd just
18 like those five pages.
19 MR. EDWARDS: I'm going to request the
20 deposition, so. . .
21 MR. CRITTON: Okay. We'll mark this then, so
22 you could tell me where it is, approximately.

24 Q. Is there a reason why you have not discussed
25 with Jeffrey Epstein the allegations that have been made

1 against him and the allegations contained within many of
2 these civil complaints on behalf of girls who were under
3 the age of 18? Is there any reason why you haven't
4 discussed that?
5 MR. REINHART: If that's based on
6 conversations you had with your lawyer, then don't
7 disclose what you and your lawyer talked about.
8 BY MR. EDWARDS:
9 Q. Correct.
10 A. I have not spoken to Jeffrey about any of
11 this, and it was my understanding that is illegal to
12 have conversation about this. So I've never presented
13 any questions to him reference this case or any others.
14 Q. It was your understanding that it was illegal
15 to talk to Jeffrey Epstein about the allegations made
16 against Jeffrey Epstein?
17 A. Yes, or anything to do with the case. That's
18 why we never discussed any portions of it.
19 Q. Okay. So --
20 A. I may be wrong in that assumption, but I
21 don't --
22 Q. So the reason why you haven't discussed this
23 with Jeffrey Epstein is you believed it was illegal?
24 A. Correct, yes.
25 Q. Who led you to believe that it was illegal?

1 MR. REINHART: Again, if it was a discussion
2 you had with any lawyer, then you can just give a
3 name, don't give a discussion of the conversation
4 you had.
5 THE WITNESS: It was my own assumption.
6 mean, just basic criminal knowledge of knowing
7 you're not supposed to -- you know, if somebody's
8 in trial or in a deposition or whatever, I don't --
9 I didn't think it was appropriate to discuss the
10 matter with them.
11 BY MR. EDWARDS:
12 Q. Okay. So the next two visits and I think the
13 last two visits we'll talk about are on 9/6/2008.
14 Actually, it looks like you visited him twice in one
15 day; is that right?
16 A. I don't think that's possible. I mean, that
17 will show how accurate the court record is. There's no
18 way.
19 Q. You wouldn't have visited him twice in one
20 day?
21 A. No. I think there's only one visitation per
22 day.
23 Q. Okay. And it looks like the same visitors
24 each time, except that it says for period three and then
25 the next one's for period four. So there are two

1 different periods. Was there ever a time when they
2 allowed you to stay for more than an hour?
3 A. No, not to my knowledge.
4 Q. Okay. So again, it's and
, same questions: Did you ever ask them their
6 involvement with Jeffrey Epstein?
7 A. Absolutely not.
8 Q. And again, what was the discussion with
9 Jeffrey Epstein along with and
10
11 A. On the last visits, it was mainly airplane
12 stuff and later on in the visitations, we were advised
13 that you could leave early, so I would only stay for
14 maybe 30 minutes and then, you know, Jeffrey would
15 continue his conversations with them and then I would
16 just wait outside.
17 Q. Okay.
18 A. So I would do my business with him talking
19 about airplanes or whatever I had coming up and then
20 exit.
21 Q. And then why did you stop visiting him in jail
22 after that September 6th, 2008, visit?
23 A. I was never called back to visit.
24 Q. Okay. Well, shortly after that then he was on
25 work release?

2 Q. Right?
3 A. Yeah.
4 Q. So the next times you would have gone to see
$ him would have been at the Florida Science Foundation,
6 where we talked about earlier?
7 A. I've seen him there, yes.

9 him 20 or 30 times --
10 A. Sure.
11 Q. -- over the last two years, last year and a
12 half or so?
13 A. Yes.
14 Q. And how long would you stay each time at the
15 Florida Science Foundation and talk to him?
16 A. Like my original answer, ten, fifteen minutes.
17 Q. Okay. And how frequently would you talk to
18 Jeffrey Epstein while he was at the Florida Science
19 Foundation?
20 MR. REINHART: I'm sorry, you're talking in
21 person or all conversations? Because he testified
22 he had phone conversations and personal visits.
23 BY MR. EDWARDS:
24 Q. I was actually talking about phone
25 conversations. So when you would call him on the

2 A. How frequently during a given week?
3 O. Yeah.
4 A. More specific?
5 D. Sure.
6 A. Depends upon what's going on that week.
7 O. I mean, is it somebody you would talk to him
8 every day?
9 A. No.
10 O. All right. Well, at that point in time, he's
11 going from the jail to the Florida Science Foundation
12 and back, and if you're not going to see him in person,
13 and you're not corresponding by e-mail, then would you
14 correspond by telephone, that either being you call him
15 or he called you?
16 A. Yes.
17 O. And, you know, in any given week, what was the
18 typical week like? I mean --
19 A. How many times?
20 O. Yes.
21 A. Maybe once in a week, sometimes twice in a
22 day. I mean, it would vary. There was no routine.
23 O. And what would the conversation be?
24 A. Mostly we discussed audio and video, TVs, home
25 theaters. It's a niche of his and we're constantly

18 gym, let's put a bigger, bigger stereo in the gym, let's
19 go redo what we've done. It's always audio. He's a

2 Q. Structural modifications, architectural
3 modifications?
4 A. Starting what date?
5 Q. June 30th, 2008.
6 MR. REINHART: I think the question on the
7 table was have you observed any structural changes
8 to the house at El Brillo since Mr. Epstein went to
9 jail?
10 THE WITNESS: Structural changes?
11 BY MR. EDWARDS:
12 Q. Structural, architectural, anything like that,
13 changes to the house, to the interior of the house since
14 he went to jail?
15 A. No. I mean, if you could be more specific.
16 mean, you're talking furniture or?
17 Q. I've never been in the house, so I can't be
18 much more specific. Have you noticed any changes from
19 before he went to jail to after he went to jail, the
20 inside of the house, that you could be specific about?
21 A. No, I can't be specific.

1 MR. REINHART: I think Mr. Visoski can expand
2 on his previous answer. Why don't you expand.
3 THE WITNESS: Can we go back to that one?
4 BY MR. EDWARDS:
5 Q. Sure. The question dealt with the structural
6 architectural changes you're aware of.
7 A. There has been a kitchen extension, but when
you asked the question, I was unaware of when that
9 actually took place. So to be accurately answering your
10 question, I know there's been a kitchen extension.
11 don't exactly know when that transpired, but...
12 Q. How do you know about the extension? How do
13 you know this happened?
14 A. I knew what the kitchen looked like before and
15 after the extension and I don't -- I thought it was
16 during the hurricane season when they actually did that
17 extension.
18 Q. Who made you aware of it?
19 A. Nobody. I just walked in the kitchen and
20 noticed a bigger room than what it was.
21 Q. All right. Do you know who Martin Nowack is?
22 A. No.

3 The time when you took Mr. Epstein to Miami in the last
4 month, do you know which attorney he was going to see?
5 A. No, I do not.
6 Q. And do you know whether it was related to
7 civil cases or criminal cases or anything else?
A. No idea.
9 Q. Do you know where the location was in Miami
10 that he was going to?
11 A. No, I do not.
12 Q. Other than yourself visiting Mr. Epstein at
13 the Florida Science Foundation, are you aware of any
14 other visitors, people that visited him?
15 A. No, I'm not. Just whoever was there during my
16 visit.
17 Q. Okay. Are you aware of a corporation named
18 the Zorro Trust?
19 A. I've heard the name.
20 Q. And is that something that you've heard
21 relative to your involvement with Jeffrey Epstein?
22 A. Yes. I mean, I don't even remember where I
23 heard Zorro Trust. I have no definition of it, but I
24 know the name is out there.

7 you would meet with Jeffrey Epstein on these meetings?

12 Q. And would they be in the same room with
13 yourself and Jeffrey Epstein when you had conversations
14 with him?
15 A. No, not really. Not particularly.
16 Q. They would just be at the location?
17 A. Sure, yes.
18 Q. Anybody else that worked there or was
19 affiliated with the Florida Science Foundation that you
20 know of?
21 A. Not to my knowledge. I mean, I do my business
22 and get in and get out.
23 Q. Can anybody other than Jeffrey Epstein have an
24 office at the Florida Science Foundation?

2 that we spoke about earlier on the New Mexico ranch? Is
3 that deeded to you?
4 A. Yes.
5 O. And has it been since back in, I think you
6 said 1998 or 1999 or whenever it was?
7 A. Yes.
8 Q. Okay. And do you know -- and did you build a
9 house on it then?
10 A. Yes, I did.
11 Q. Okay. And that's a property that I think you
12 said you have a mortgage on it, that's a property that
13 you pay mortgaged that property?
14 A. Yes, sir.
15 Q. All right. And as well, the home you own
16 here, you have a mortgage on that property as well?
17 A. That is correct.
18 Q. All right. Are you familiar with a vehicle, a
19 Chevy Suburban 1500, year 1999?
20 A. Do you have a color?
21 Q. No. I can tell you the plate. I could tell
22 you the VIN. Chevy Suburban -- Chevy Suburban 1500,
23 registered to Larry Visoski?
24 A. That would be mine. That's a white one, then.
25 Q. Okay. When did you get it?

1 A. I'm guessing. It was probably two years old
2 when I got it. Maybe '99. Maybe '01, '02.
3 Q. Something you still drive?
4 A. Occasionally. It's kind of a beat up car now,
5 so it's kind of a knock around.
6 Q. Best of your knowledge, it stays parked at
7 your house?
A. Recently it's been in Jeffrey's driveway,
9 but.. .
10 Q. Why?
11 A. Just for an extra car to use.
12 Q. For Jeffrey to use?
13 A. No. I mean, for anybody that would come to
14 the house to help out. Igor I think has driven the car
15 before.
16 Q. How did it come about that you began to park
17 the Chevy Suburban, the 1999 car that we're talking
18 about, at Jeffrey's house?
19 A. When there was more activity here in West Palm
20 Beach. We were never usually coming here that often,
21 and now with all this going on, with Jeffrey being in
22 town longer, we needed more cars and transportation. So
23 my car was just sitting in the driveway at home while I
24 was driving the Hummer. So I decided to let them use
25 the Hummer at the house.

1 Q. Well, we've just described this wide array of
2 cars that Jeffrey had for people to use --
3 A. Well, you said for him to use.
4 MR. CRITTON: Hold it.
5 BY MR. EDWARDS:
6 Q. Is there a reason why?
7 MR. CRITTON: Wait. You guys are both talking
8 over one another. You need to let him wait and
9 finish his question because if I want to assert an
10 objection, neither one of you gives me a chance,
11 which may be the plan. Form.
12 MR. EDWARDS: Yeah, we have a conspiracy
13 against you.
14 MR. CRITTON: I knew it. I'll take that as an
15 admission.
16 BY MR. EDWARDS:
17 Q. Is there any reason -- did Jeffrey say that he
18 wanted that vehicle to use or to be parked at his house?
19 A. No.
20 Q. Then how did it come about that you started
21 parking that vehicle at his home?
22 A. I think the origination of that came when I
23 started using the Hummer, that the Suburban was parked
24 in my driveway and I wanted to get it out of my driveway
25 as an eyesore. So hence, I decided to let people at the

2 or just as extra transportation.
3 Q. Okay. But when you go to park the car at
4 somebody else's house, you have to let them know, Hey,
5 I'm giving you the keys?
6 A. Mm-hmm.
7 Q. Who did you give the keys to?
8 A. I don't know if I gave the keys to anybody. I
9 may have just left them on the counter there and told
10 Yanush this is an extra car if you guys needed it to run
11 around because it was an eyesore at my driveway.
12 Q. Are you familiar with a Mercedes-Benz SUV
13 1999?
14 A. Say that again.
15 Q. Mercedes SUV, 1999 registered in your name?
16 A. Yes.
17 Q. And what car is that?
18 A. That's my car -- my wife's car.
19 Q. Does that stay at your house?

6 use at Jeffrey's house.
7 Q. And when was that car purchased?
8 A. Last year.
9 Q. And who purchased that car?
10 A. It was purchased in my name.
11 Q. By whom? Who purchased the car in your name?
12 A. Well, I put the car in my name, but the funds
13 came from -- they were wired to my account from New
14 York.
15 Q• From whom, though? A mysterious source just
16 sent funds? We know that didn't happen, so I'm just
17 trying to elaborate here.
18 A. Jeffrey had paid for the car.
19 Q. Okay. And why did Jeffrey pay for a car and
20 put it in your name?
21 A. I don't know.
22 Q. I mean, you had to agree for this to happen.
23 So what was the conversation between you and Jeffrey
24 that resulted in Jeffrey paying for a Land Rover, a 2008
25 Land Rover and putting it in your name?

1 A. I don't recall exactly how the conversation
2 came about. He just says we want to buy an '08 Land
3 Rover and put it in my name. So we did. I didn't ask
4 any further questions.
5 Q. Did this conversation happen when he was in
6 jail or after he was out?
7 A. Meaning out on house arrest?
8 Q. Right.
9 A. When you say "out" I think of the Science
10 Foundation. On work release, so you have to be more
11 specific.
12 Q. You tell me what happened, when the
13 conversation happened relative to where Jeffrey was at
14 the time.
15 A. I'd only be guessing again. I would say this
16 probably happened a year ago, maybe less than a year
17 ago. I'd have to look. I don't remember exactly the --
18 Q. So it was either at a time when he's at the
19 Florida Science Foundation or possibly on house arrest?
20 A. It was -- no, it was definitely before house
21 arrest. It was probably during the time of the Florida
22 Science Foundation, to be accurate.
23 Q. Okay. Are you aware --
24 A. About eight or nine months ago.
25 Q. Okay. Are you aware of a Mercedes-Benz CLK

1 2005 registered in your name?
2 A. Yes.
3 Q. And whose car is that?
4 A. That car also is a Palm Beach house car to be
5 used at the house.
6 Q. What does that mean, 'a Palm Beach house car'?
7 A. It's a car that we park in Jeffrey's driveway
8 for people to use. Anybody that comes to the house can
9 select a car to go anywhere. I mean, run errands, go
10 shopping, do whatever they need to do. And that was
11 purchased the same way. It was in my name.
12 Q. And the funds came from Jeffrey Epstein?
13 A. They were wired to my account. I don't know
14 exactly what account they came from.
15 O. Again, that's a conversation that has to take
16 place before -- that you have to agree to put a car in
17 your name?
18 A. Yes, yes.
19 Q. And is that a conversation between yourself
20 and Jeffrey Epstein that takes place?
21 A. Yes.
22 Q. And what is the substance of that conversation
23 that results in a Mercedes-Benz 2005 being placed in
24 your name?
25 A. He just said we need a fun car for the house

4 Q. You didn't ask any questions about that?
5 A. No, I didn't.
6 Q. Okay. Are you aware of a Jaguar X-Type 2005
7 registered in your name?
8 A. I forgot about that one, yes.
9 Q. Whose car is that?
10 A. That's a Palm Beach car.
11 Q. What do you mean "a Palm Beach car"?
12 A. It's the Palm Beach house car, another run
13 around for people to use.
14 Q. And again, that's a conversation that has to
15 take place that results in a car being placed --
16 registered in your name?
17 A. Yes.
18 Q. Okay. Now we're talking about several cars
19 here?
20 A. Yes.

4 are being placed in your name?
5 A. My curiosity was piqued.
6 Q• You never asked him the question, you just
7 agreed to do it?
8 A. That's correct.
9 Q. That goes for the Jaguar X-Type?
10 A. Yes.

3 to you?

5 Q. There should be no documentation from you
6 where you would be the registered owner of the Ford
7 F-250?
8 A. What year?
9 Q. 2008.
10 A. I remember buying that car. I just -- that
11 shouldn't be in my name.
12 Q. What do you mean you remember buying that car?
13 A. I do a lot -- I do all the car purchases for
14 Mr. Epstein. I'm a car fanatic, so for years I've been
15 the car -shopper. I'm the car fanatic.
16 Q. Okay. But these cars aren't classic vehicles.
17 These are vehicles that are not being refurbished or
18 anything, they're being driven around town?
19 A. No, but they're fun. The new Range Rover is a
20 nice car.

12 A. I know it's a corporation. I don't know its
13 affiliation to Jeffrey.
14 Q. At this point in time, the way that this car
15 comes about is through a conversation with yourself and
16 Jeffrey Epstein?
17 A. Yes, yes.
18 Q. So to make some representation that this --
19 that this corporation LSJ, LLC, you're not sure if that
20 has any affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein?

10 A. For the workers, for the island.
11 MR. REINHART: Be careful to answer his
12 question. I think his question is, is it on
13 St. Thomas or Little St. James island? Where
14 physically is the car, if you know.
15 THE WITNESS: I don't know for a fact.
16 BY MR. EDWARDS:
17 Q. It's your understanding it's on St. Thomas?
18 A. Yes.
19 Q. And when you say "the workers," what's going
20 on on St. Thomas to where there's workers that need an
21 F-250?
22 A. Just moving sand. I don't know the exact
23 detail for it.
24 Q. What were you told about the need for this car
25 to be on St. Thomas?

1 A. They need a work truck.
2 Q. To do what?
3 A. I don't know what the detail or the -- you
4 know, what the job detail was for the truck. They just
5 needed a work truck.
6 Q. So Jeffrey Epstein tells you they need a work
7 truck on St. Thomas and that's the only description that
8 you're given?
9 A. Yes, to go purchase and get the best deal I
10 can on a pickup truck, and that's what I did and for
11 some reason it got put in my name.
12 (Off the record discussion.)
13 BY MR. EDWARDS:
14 Q. Whose money was used to purchase the truck.
15 You say you purchased the truck. I want the record to
16 be clear whether you're purchasing it with your money?
17 A. No, this was wire -transferred. It was a -- I
18 don't remember how that -- I think it was a wire
19 transfer or a check was FedExed from the New York office
20 to pay for that. That should not be in my name, is what
21 I'm getting at. I'll certainly change that, but I
22 thought you were --

2 Q. 34-foot JVC Powerboat, 2000, owner LSJ, LLC,
3 registered to Larry Visoski. Do you know that?
4 A. Yes.
5 Q. You knew that that boat was registered in your
6 name?
7 A. It's registered to LSJ. It's Jeffrey's boat
8 that we keep here in West Palm Beach.
9 Q. And do you keep it at your home?
10 A. No.
11 Q. Do you know that the registration is to your
12 home?
13 A. It's used in my home address, yes.
14 Q. Why was that done?
15 A. We were eventually going to ship it out to
16 St. Thomas for it to live, but since Jeffrey's here,
17 we're keeping it in Florida, and when we ship the boat
18 over, we will change title to the Little St. James
19 address.
20 Q. What do you mean "since Jeffrey's here we're
21 keeping it in Florida"? What does Jeffrey being here
22 have to do with keeping a boat that's registered in your
23 name and to your address --
24 A. Well, I have access to use the boat, you know,
25 here in Florida, but it's Jeffrey's boat.

4 Q• Do you know how much that cost?
5 A. I think it was 60,000.
6 Q• Do you know how much the Ford F-250 cost?
7 A. Twenty-five, I'm guessing, ballpark.
8 Q• Do you know how much the Jaguar X -Type cost?

2 A. No.
3 Q. Did you know that in let me ask you this:
4 Do you have a 2003 Ferrari F75-M?
5 A. No.
6 Q. Any reason why the car is registered in your
7 name and the asking price is $159,000 being sold in New
8 York?
9 A. That car is not registered in my name.
10 Q. If it's registered --
11 A. The ad is in my name.
12 Q. Why is the ad in your name?
13 A. Because I was trying to sell it.
14 Q. Why were you trying to sell it?
15 A. It was Jeffrey's car and we didn't want it
16 anymore.
17 Q. Why would he put his pilot in charge of
18 selling his Ferrari?
19 A. Because I bought it.
20 Q. How much did you buy it for?
21 A. 179,000. Now, when I say "I bought it," it
22 was his money. I was the one that negotiated it, to be
23 clear. It was his car for use in New York.
24 Q. Are you aware of the Zorro Trust winning an

15 A. I needed a company name for that event, and I
16 had put Air Ghislaine.
17 Q. And NES, LLC wouldn't do?
18 A. I didn't think of it at the time.
19 Q. Did somebody tell you to use Air Ghislaine
20 rather than the company that has been paying you?
21 A. No.
22 Q. You just chose to use an employer that isn't
23 actually your employer, nor have they ever been?
24 A. I represent Air Ghislaine, JEGE and Hyperion
25 as chief pilot, so I consider those really the companies

1 that I work for and never really associated myself with
2 NES, LLC as my realistic employer. So when I go to a
3 convention, an aviation convention, and somebody says
4 who do you work for, I use the name JEGE because that's
5 the name of the Boeing company.
6 Q. But when I sit here and ask you who you work
7 for, you give me a different answer.
8 A. You're asking for the absolute correct answer,
9 which is where my paycheck comes from, which is NES,
10 LLC. I probably have used that twice in 17 or 18 years
11 as my employer.
12 Q. Do you know
13 A. I know the name, yes.
14 Q. How do you know her?
15 A. I've seen her on the airplane a couple times.
16 Q. Somebody that you know to be involved
17 romantically or sexually with Jeffrey Epstein at any
18 time?
19 A. I don't know that.
20 Q. Are there any other cars, vehicles, items,
21 other things that are registered in your name that are
22 actually Jeffrey Epstein's?
23 A. No. You've actually covered them all and
24 actually shed light on some that I did not realize, like
25 that Ford.

1 knowledge at this point.
2 Q. What flight records would you have to look at?
3 A. The passenger manifests.
4 Q. Passenger manifests would have the date of
5 birth on it?
6 A. No. It would have a name, but I don't have --
7 Q. But at some point in time you remember people,
8 minor date of births, coming into the country and that
9 being turned over to Customs?
10 MR. CRITTON: Form.
11 THE WITNESS: I don't remember anybody
12 transporting on the airplane from the country back
13 into the U.S. that was a minor, to my knowledge.

19 - able on the Boeing?
20 A. Yes.
21 Q. Okay. Was there always a massage table on the
22 Boeing or just for a period of time?

1 leave?
2 A. Us as the crew.
3 Q. Okay. So if a massage table had ever been
4 used, it would have been you and the crew who would have
5 been responsible for either taking towels or doing
6 something with the massage table?
7 A. Absolutely.
8 Q. And if I understood your testimony, you never
9 saw a circumstance where it appeared to you that the
10 massage table had been used in any manner; is that
11 correct?
12 A. That is correct. It stayed in the same
13 location since the day it was put on there.
14 Q. You were asked a bunch -- a number of
15 questions about Mr. Epstein, I'll use this --
16 Mr. Epstein is the person who directed you generally
17 unless one of -- someone else who worked on his behalf
18 called you and asked you to, say, set up a time to leave
19 or pick up luggage, et cetera. My question to you is
20 this: Have you flown in the past for other private
21 individuals like Mr. Epstein, i.e., as distinct from a
22 commercial?
23 A. Yes, I have.
24 Q. And approximately have you flown for four,
25 five, six other private individuals over the years?

1 A. Three. I had a short career as far as
2 transferring of owners.
3 Q. In terms of transferring to the other owners,
4 separate and apart from Mr. Epstein, again, every
5 individual is different, but was your relationship
6 really any different with any of those other
7 individuals? That is, you were in essence -- you were
8 hired to perform a specific task: Fly an airplane to
9 get from Point A to Point B and get the people there
10 safely?
11 A. My first job, corporate-wise, was for an owner
12 in Miami and I was hired as a pilot, but yet, I would go
13 to his house and maintain a boat that was in the back of
14 his house above and beyond my call of duty because I had
15 an interest in boats. It's just something I like to do.
16 But I always treated Mr. Epstein like any of the other
17 prior clients that I had as owners. I knew that I was
18 not afraid to work for a living, and they understood
19 that.
20 Q. And it sounds like at least the first owner
21 that you worked for asked you to do similar things that
22 you've done for Mr. Epstein, such as take care of a boat
23 or purchase a boat or maintain the boat?
24 A. Sure, absolutely.
25 Q. So your relationship with Mr. Epstein with

1 regard to if you bought boats or you bought cars on his
2 behalf, that's very similar to your prior experience
3 with working with another private individual?
4 A. That is correct
5 Q• In terms of the records, the manner in which
6 you flew the plane or I don't want to say flew the
7 plane, but in which you operated and maintained the
8 plane for Mr. Epstein are substantially the same you've
9 done with other private individuals?
10 A. Right, exactly the same. We wouldn't treat
11 Mr. Epstein any different than any prior -- previous
12 jobs that I had. It's the same routine we carry over
13 and that's why we're good at what we do. We take care
14 of the airplanes to the best of our ability.
15 Q. Is your focus as the pilot, as the captain of
16 both of the airplanes when you took over that
17 responsibility a number of years ago, is it your
18 obligation to get the passengers there safely -- onboard
19 and safely to the destination and then return?
20 A. Yes, that was always job number one.
21 Q. And most of us have had I'd say a much more
22 substantial experience in flying commercial planes and I
23 rarely see -- in fact, I can't remember the last time
24 particularly after 2001 I saw the pilots coming back
25 into the cabin shaking hands and helping distribute the

2 that some of the other lawyers here are, but I assume
3 you fly commercial from time to time?
4 A. Sure.
5 Q. Do you ever see the pilots interacting with
6 the people who are in the back of the airplane?
7 A. No, not at all. They stay at their station up
8 front.
9 Q. You got -- as the captain of the planes, when
10 you're flying, you have substantial responsibilities not
11 only to the people on the plane, but as well to the air
12 space which you're flying?
13 A. Yes.
