00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.240
<v Speaker 1>What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the

2
00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:06.879
<v Speaker 1>Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're gonna pick up where

3
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:10.359
<v Speaker 1>we left off with Leslie Groff and the transcripts from

4
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>her interview with Congress mister Biggs. Thank you, Thank you

5
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:18.239
<v Speaker 1>very much. I don't want this to be tedious, but

6
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:20.719
<v Speaker 1>I just really feel like we need to explore this.

7
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:23.879
<v Speaker 1>We'recalling the database that you use to make calls to

8
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:26.800
<v Speaker 1>set these appointments and looking at that list in the

9
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:29.879
<v Speaker 1>exhibit that you have before you, now, do they seem

10
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:32.520
<v Speaker 1>at least similar to you? I mean, do you recognize

11
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>some of the names, numbers, et cetera. Groff, most of

12
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.840
<v Speaker 1>them are redacted, Biggs, most of the New York ones

13
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:43.159
<v Speaker 1>are redacted. Graff are redacted? Right. I recognize Don as

14
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:48.119
<v Speaker 1>Don Wicks and pom Beach. Biggs. Pom Beach, he's in Florida, Graff, Yes, Biggs?

15
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Any others Graff, No, Biggs. Let's explore that for a second.

16
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Don w R has three numbers and three descriptions by them.

17
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.359
<v Speaker 1>One is B, one is W, one is H. I

18
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>don't want to assume something, but what do those mean? Groff?

19
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.959
<v Speaker 1>I would think work home. I don't know what be

20
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:12.959
<v Speaker 1>means Bigs business, perhaps Groff business, Biggs, which raises this

21
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.519
<v Speaker 1>odd question. I mean you had her home number, you

22
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.120
<v Speaker 1>had her work number and her business number. Did that

23
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.040
<v Speaker 1>strike you as odd that she had multiple apparently multiple

24
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:26.840
<v Speaker 1>numbers would come. You've got to let him finish the question, Biggs. Yeah,

25
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 1>through multiple places you can go there, Groff. It did

26
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.799
<v Speaker 1>not strike me as strange. Biggs was down a regular

27
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>of his grof. She had, she had her husband and

28
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.200
<v Speaker 1>a medical spa. Her husband was a chiropractor, and I

29
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:44.719
<v Speaker 1>know mister Epstein went to her spa. Biggs. Let's go

30
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>back to the front page because this is something this

31
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>is unredacted. And I don't know if you said that

32
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 1>you made some maybe you made some of the appointments

33
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.400
<v Speaker 1>in California. Did I understand that right? Growth It's possible

34
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>he didn't go to California very often, Biggs. Looking at

35
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:02.719
<v Speaker 1>the perhaps you looked at it. Then as you go

36
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:07.079
<v Speaker 1>down the list, particularly in the second row, the second column,

37
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I should say, gypsy has a phone number. Gypsy has

38
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:16.120
<v Speaker 1>a phone number. Another gypsy has a phone number. Mister Graff, Oh, yes, Biggs,

39
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>sports connection has a phone number. And then looking at those.

40
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.639
<v Speaker 1>Did you see those? Then? Just to clarify that, Graf,

41
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.719
<v Speaker 1>it's possible, Biggs. Would it strike you as odd that

42
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 1>there's no name? It's just gypsy, mister Graff. Gypsy was

43
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:37.599
<v Speaker 1>the mel massuse, Mister Biggs, there's multiple Gypsies on here. Graf,

44
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.879
<v Speaker 1>it was it was his name, that's what we called them.

45
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 1>And they're talking about Gypsy Gida, that's who they're talking about,

46
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:48.560
<v Speaker 1>the so called guru. Yeah, him, mister Biggs. Well, there's

47
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:52.080
<v Speaker 1>another one name to redacted and the descriptor here is

48
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.520
<v Speaker 1>one of gypsy. What does that mean? GoF Oh? I

49
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:58.199
<v Speaker 1>don't know, Biggs. I mean, I don't want to suppose,

50
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.800
<v Speaker 1>but I mean there's some supposition we could make. You

51
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't find that curious. Perhaps let's go to the UK

52
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.919
<v Speaker 1>massage list for a second. You have a number, you've

53
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:11.439
<v Speaker 1>got some redactions there. What's not redacted is Los Angeles.

54
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:13.759
<v Speaker 1>What might that mean? Did you see that? It's the

55
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:17.120
<v Speaker 1>second column, I'm sorry, last one of the redacted in

56
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 1>the massage UK. Graff. Oh, I don't know, Biggs. The

57
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:26.240
<v Speaker 1>one above it says Amsterdam Groff. I don't know, Biggs.

58
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:30.039
<v Speaker 1>Jean Luke, Bim Graf Jean Luke Biggs. Do you know

59
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>who John Luke Bim is? Graf. I don't know, Biggs.

60
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:35.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to stop there. Well, I'm not going to

61
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>stop there. I'm going to ask another question, but then

62
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll stop. And that is as you think back now,

63
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:44.800
<v Speaker 1>looking back now from this vantage point that you're in now,

64
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>and you had a database on the computer, you have

65
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.159
<v Speaker 1>this black book that you add access to as well.

66
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Did any of that strike you as odd that mister

67
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Epstein was keeping literally by my account, well over fifty

68
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>or seventy five different discrete names in various massage calls

69
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>from all over the world vs. A V. Whatever he

70
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.319
<v Speaker 1>had in the database. Did that strike you as odd

71
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:09.159
<v Speaker 1>at all? Grof? Does it strike me as odd now? Biggs? Yeah,

72
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 1>looking back, Groth, he had so many people in his

73
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:14.840
<v Speaker 1>realm and knew so many people. It doesn't strike me

74
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:16.839
<v Speaker 1>as odd that he had a lot of different people

75
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:20.079
<v Speaker 1>in his black book, in his directory. It's not surprising

76
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the within the depth of the people that he knew.

77
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:25.600
<v Speaker 1>This is one category, but I believe he had the

78
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>same amount of people in other categories as well, Bigs,

79
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.639
<v Speaker 1>but in particular with the massage category all over the world.

80
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.480
<v Speaker 1>That didn't strike you as odd that, for instance, in

81
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:41.480
<v Speaker 1>California he maintained the names of twenty six different messuses. Groth.

82
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean he was very wealthy, and he knew a

83
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of people, and when he went to any time

84
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.800
<v Speaker 1>he met anyone, he'd put them in the directory. It

85
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:52.040
<v Speaker 1>could be a passing Biggs. He must have been a

86
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:55.839
<v Speaker 1>prolific massage receiver. Thank you, Thank you. Emmer. We've had

87
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:59.040
<v Speaker 1>another member of Congress join us. Can he please identify himself?

88
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 1>Resent Senative Scott Perry, Pennsylvania's tenth district. Emmer, we've also

89
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 1>had an additional staff member or members joined since we started.

90
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Can they identify themselves? Mister Emmer? Thank you both. Redacted. Toland,

119
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.560
<v Speaker 1>no question. Did you ever hear any allegations about any

120
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.959
<v Speaker 1>of these men? Answer no, mister Timmins, real quick. From

121
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:21.399
<v Speaker 1>twenty thirteen until you left, the majority of that time,

122
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:24.279
<v Speaker 1>there were eight twenty to thirty five year old women

123
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.560
<v Speaker 1>that were in the house with them at all times.

124
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:29.160
<v Speaker 1>What do you think they did? What was their job? Like?

125
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:33.120
<v Speaker 1>They were just around? Graff, you're referring to Timmins. I've

126
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:38.000
<v Speaker 1>got redacted, redacted or redacted, redacted or redacted, redacted and redacted?

127
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:41.319
<v Speaker 1>What did they do? So they were around for years, Graff,

128
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:44.399
<v Speaker 1>they were Timmins, and you ran their lives, Graff. I

129
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:47.120
<v Speaker 1>did not run their lives, Timmins. Did you control when

130
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>they got a haircut? Graf? I did not control when

131
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.920
<v Speaker 1>they got a haircut? Timmins. We got an email. We'll

132
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>get to that in a minute. But so, I mean,

133
00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:57.879
<v Speaker 1>they say that their credit cards were controlled by Epstein,

134
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.079
<v Speaker 1>by you, Kahn Endyken redacted, They had loans taken out

135
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:04.120
<v Speaker 1>in their names, their apartments were at the behest of Epstein,

136
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:07.199
<v Speaker 1>And they say that you were largely responsible for managing

137
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:10.959
<v Speaker 1>that their computers, their phones, their flights, their hotels, all

138
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.720
<v Speaker 1>their travel, all of their life was run by Epstein.

139
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:16.959
<v Speaker 1>What do you think those humans were doing during that time?

140
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.319
<v Speaker 1>Why did they exist in the world, Grof. I believe

141
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:22.879
<v Speaker 1>them to be traveling assistants, and none of them ever

142
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.000
<v Speaker 1>looked unhappy or under duress. They would travel with them

143
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.959
<v Speaker 1>and do errands and source things. They were not all

144
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>together at all the time with them. It was a

145
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:33.639
<v Speaker 1>demanding job to travel with them. It would appear to

146
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:36.600
<v Speaker 1>me to have to leave given twelve hours notice, Hey,

147
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:38.960
<v Speaker 1>we're going upon beach tomorrow. To me, it would be

148
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.559
<v Speaker 1>grueling to ask one person to do that all the time.

149
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 1>I think they would get burnt out, and so he

150
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.679
<v Speaker 1>would take one or two with them, but they would

151
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:49.080
<v Speaker 1>get them coffee. They would go out and get them

152
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:53.440
<v Speaker 1>a burger. It was an assistant chore type of position. Timmins.

153
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.039
<v Speaker 1>They all just happened to be fairly beautiful and similar age. Groth.

154
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:00.679
<v Speaker 1>I think that in order to be a travel assistant,

155
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.360
<v Speaker 1>it seems consistent that you would have someone who's in

156
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.320
<v Speaker 1>their twenties or early thirties, not married. It made sense

157
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:11.080
<v Speaker 1>as that seems typical to me Timmins. In retrospect, do

158
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.720
<v Speaker 1>you appreciate that they feel like they were victims of

159
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:17.159
<v Speaker 1>sex and human trafficking and we're being controlled by Epstein

160
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:21.200
<v Speaker 1>every part of their life? Groff in retrospect in hindsight.

161
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:24.759
<v Speaker 1>In hindsight, it's terrible. I can't imagine what they were

162
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.240
<v Speaker 1>going through. It's amazing to me that they were able

163
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:29.840
<v Speaker 1>to put on such a good affront and seem happy

164
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:32.360
<v Speaker 1>it was. It's hard. It's hard for me to fathom.

165
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:36.960
<v Speaker 1>She's victim blaming. That's what Graff is doing. She doesn't

166
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:39.759
<v Speaker 1>feel any remorse, she doesn't think she did anything wrong.

167
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:44.399
<v Speaker 1>That's what it comes down to. Tolin. Question, Ms Groff,

168
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:47.639
<v Speaker 1>I recognize that we are at time for our hour,

169
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.679
<v Speaker 1>but I just have three very quick questions to end on.

170
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:53.879
<v Speaker 1>Do you have any direct knowledge of mister Epstein ever

171
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:57.480
<v Speaker 1>engaging in sexual relations with any of his assistants? Answer

172
00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:01.240
<v Speaker 1>no question. Did you ever win bodiness mister Epstein receive

173
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:05.360
<v Speaker 1>a massage from young women or girls? Answer no question.

174
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Did you ever receive a massage from anyone associated with

175
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.240
<v Speaker 1>mister Epstein? Answer I went to a spat one time,

176
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:17.720
<v Speaker 1>not associated with them, Miss Tolin, thank you. We will

177
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:22.600
<v Speaker 1>end our hour and go off record. Misredacted. Good morning,

178
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.919
<v Speaker 1>Miss Groff. My name is misredacted, and I'll be doing

179
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:28.879
<v Speaker 1>most of the questioning for the minority today. I'm going

180
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:30.960
<v Speaker 1>to cover some of the same topics that the majority

181
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.200
<v Speaker 1>covered with you in the previous round. This is not

182
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:36.600
<v Speaker 1>to make you repeat yourself, but rather to make sure

183
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:40.720
<v Speaker 1>what we have is a clear record as possible. I

184
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:43.759
<v Speaker 1>appreciate your patience while I do that. In addition to

185
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:46.799
<v Speaker 1>the extent of any of my questions, where any of

186
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:51.159
<v Speaker 1>your answers involve survivor names or other survivor identifying information,

187
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:54.240
<v Speaker 1>I ask on behalf of the minority that the majority

188
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:59.120
<v Speaker 1>redacts the information prior to releasing the transcript publicly. Question

189
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:01.799
<v Speaker 1>Ms Groff, I'd like to start with your work from

190
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.600
<v Speaker 1>mister Epstein. Started work for him in two thousand and one.

191
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Correct answer, yes question, and you were thirty five years

192
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:12.600
<v Speaker 1>old at that point. Answer yes question. Your title was

193
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:17.720
<v Speaker 1>executive secretary. Correct answer, yes question, and you were paid

194
00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>fifty thousand dollars correct answer, yes question. You talk a

195
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:25.480
<v Speaker 1>little bit about your role and responsibilities and also about

196
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:28.120
<v Speaker 1>the people that you work with. Can you say more

197
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.240
<v Speaker 1>about the other assistants that mister Epstein had in your

198
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:34.840
<v Speaker 1>relationship to them? Answer? Sure. In the office, there was

199
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:37.720
<v Speaker 1>an assistant to miss Maxwell, There was an assistant to

200
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:40.759
<v Speaker 1>the two attorneys. There was when I first started a

201
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>traveling assistant. There was another assistant there. She was only

202
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:49.159
<v Speaker 1>there briefly. And we had a receptionist I replaced redacted.

203
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:51.919
<v Speaker 1>She was mister Epstein's assistant, and then I replaced her,

204
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:55.919
<v Speaker 1>so then redacted became the receptionist. Question did you at

205
00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:59.600
<v Speaker 1>any point manage any of those assistants? Answer no question?

206
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.039
<v Speaker 1>So you never had your own team of assistants? Answer

207
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.519
<v Speaker 1>no question. How did you fit in within the larger operation?

208
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.440
<v Speaker 1>So you mentioned earlier Darren Endyke. Also there was Richard Kahn.

209
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Would they have ever asked you to do anything? Would

210
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:17.159
<v Speaker 1>Glenn Maxwell ever ask you to do anything? Or did

211
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:20.960
<v Speaker 1>you only respond to mister Epstein? Answer it was mister

212
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.279
<v Speaker 1>Epstein purely. All right, folks, we're going to wrap up

213
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:26.559
<v Speaker 1>right here and in the next episode dealing with the topic,

214
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:29.200
<v Speaker 1>We're going to pick up where we left off. All

00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:41.519

219
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Leslie Groff transcripts from her interview with Congress. Question, you

220
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:51.919

221

<v Speaker 1>no question? So you never had your own team of assistants?

232
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:29.440

234
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:35.960
<v Speaker 1>there was Richard Kahn. Would they have ever asked you

235
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:38.639
<v Speaker 1>to do anything? Would Maxwell have ever asked you to

236
00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:41.679
<v Speaker 1>do anything? Or did you only respond to mister Epstein?

237
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Answer it was mister Epstein, purely question, what might a

238
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.960
<v Speaker 1>typical day look like? Answer? Sure, I would get in,

239
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:51.240
<v Speaker 1>try to get in by at least age fifty five,

240
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:53.840
<v Speaker 1>because he was definitely calling me at nine a m. Sharp.

241
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.159
<v Speaker 1>He would call me and give me twenty to ten

242
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:58.679
<v Speaker 1>to twenty pages of notes that he had to be

243
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.440
<v Speaker 1>thinking about all night, all throughout the night. In the

244
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.799
<v Speaker 1>morning and he'd call me with all of his directives

245
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:05.840
<v Speaker 1>of the people that he wanted to see that day.

246
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:09.240
<v Speaker 1>The call list was always huge. He would direct me

247
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:11.440
<v Speaker 1>to coordinate with his house staff. If he was going

248
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:13.519
<v Speaker 1>to be, say leaving that day or the next day

249
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:16.000
<v Speaker 1>for Palm Beach, he would want to make sure that

250
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.320
<v Speaker 1>the Palm Beach staff was going to be ready to

251
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.120
<v Speaker 1>go and ready for his visit. I would have to

252
00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:23.679
<v Speaker 1>coordinate with the pilots, and he'd give me it's possible.

253
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:27.000
<v Speaker 1>He gave me directives for people in the office as well,

254
00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:30.080
<v Speaker 1>to communicate. He would It was just it was crazy.

255
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:33.000
<v Speaker 1>It was very, very busy because at the same time

256
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:35.559
<v Speaker 1>that he was giving me all his directives, people were

257
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:38.600
<v Speaker 1>also calling in for him as well. I had the

258
00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:41.240
<v Speaker 1>two phones on my desk and it was just NonStop.

259
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:44.279
<v Speaker 1>So I would take messages from people who are calling

260
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:47.840
<v Speaker 1>in for him, as well as giving me directives. Question

261
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.879
<v Speaker 1>when you say that he would have directives for people

262
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.159
<v Speaker 1>in the office to communicate, what do you mean? Answer

263
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:56.759
<v Speaker 1>it would be like, tell Darren to be sure and

264
00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:59.440
<v Speaker 1>call so and so today, Like I was just the

265
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:01.879
<v Speaker 1>go between them, tell Darren so that he didn't have

266
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:06.159
<v Speaker 1>to call Darren himself, that type of thing. Question got it.

267
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:09.159
<v Speaker 1>You talked a little bit about this earlier. But how

268
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:13.720
<v Speaker 1>would mister Epstein typically communicate with you? Answer? It was

269
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:16.679
<v Speaker 1>first all telephone, all telephone. I don't even think he

270
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:19.799
<v Speaker 1>had a cell phone. He definitely didn't have email, so

271
00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:21.960
<v Speaker 1>there was a lot. That's why he called me so

272
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:24.879
<v Speaker 1>often to find out his messages and find out about

273
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:27.639
<v Speaker 1>his schedule and give me more things to do. It

274
00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:30.000
<v Speaker 1>was very typical for him to book things and then

275
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:34.279
<v Speaker 1>reschedule and then book again. It was chaotic. Question At

276
00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:37.120
<v Speaker 1>what point did he start emailing you, because he clearly

277
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:40.879
<v Speaker 1>did email you eventually answer, yeah, he clearly did. I

278
00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:43.639
<v Speaker 1>would say it was more around twenty eleven ten eleven

279
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.080
<v Speaker 1>about then question, Okay, so before twenty eleven twenty twelve,

280
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:52.759
<v Speaker 1>he mostly called you. Correct answer correct, yes. Question did

281
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.120
<v Speaker 1>he also text you answer? No, we were not texters.

282
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Question okay, mister redacted. And just to go back quickly,

283
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:03.639
<v Speaker 1>you listed out who worked in the office, and you

284
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:07.279
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Maxwell's assistant. You mentioned redacted. Can you give us

285
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.559
<v Speaker 1>the names of those individuals please? Who was Maxwell's assistant Groff?

286
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:14.360
<v Speaker 1>When I first started, it was redacted, and then it

287
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:17.639
<v Speaker 1>was redacted, mister adacted. Was there anyone else in that

288
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:21.279
<v Speaker 1>office that you recall, miss Graf? Yeah, there were two attorneys,

289
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Darren Endyke and Jeff Schantz. There was an accountant, Eric Ganny,

290
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:28.320
<v Speaker 1>and he was there when I first started, and then

291
00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:32.279
<v Speaker 1>it changed to Richard Kahn. There was redacted who I

292
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:35.039
<v Speaker 1>thought was the assistant to the accountant, the bookkeeper. Then

293
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:38.000
<v Speaker 1>there was Henry Henry Beller, who I thought was the trader,

294
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.279
<v Speaker 1>did his trades that sort of thing. And then after

295
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.399
<v Speaker 1>a while it was a madh Hanna who was the controller.

296
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Mister adacted, Thank you, misredacted. Question what kind of hours

297
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:52.039
<v Speaker 1>did you work? Answer? At first it was nine to five.

298
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:55.200
<v Speaker 1>It was typical, and then after I had my son,

299
00:16:55.440 --> 00:17:00.360
<v Speaker 1>it changed. I was given a very flexible schedule. I

300
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:02.480
<v Speaker 1>would work usually two or three days a week in

301
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:05.440
<v Speaker 1>the office only when he was in town, and I

302
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:08.319
<v Speaker 1>job shared with redacted. She would sit in for me

303
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:10.599
<v Speaker 1>when I was not there, and I got to work

304
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:13.440
<v Speaker 1>from home when he was not around. Question and you

305
00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:15.319
<v Speaker 1>had your son in two thousand and four two thousand

306
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:19.119
<v Speaker 1>and five. Answer two thousand and four December sixteenth, two

307
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:21.359
<v Speaker 1>thousand and four, so right on the cusp of two

308
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:24.240
<v Speaker 1>thousand and five. Question so from two thousand and one

309
00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:26.960
<v Speaker 1>to two thousand and four, you're working nine to five

310
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:30.519
<v Speaker 1>in the office. Answer I think I got pregnant and

311
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:32.960
<v Speaker 1>was really really pregnant. I got to work from home

312
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:36.559
<v Speaker 1>some as well. Question and once you had that flexible schedule,

313
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:39.119
<v Speaker 1>did you keep it or was there a point where

314
00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:41.720
<v Speaker 1>you were in the office five days a week? Answer?

315
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:44.079
<v Speaker 1>I got to keep the flexible schedule, and I got

316
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:46.480
<v Speaker 1>to leave early as well. There was a train I

317
00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:48.839
<v Speaker 1>was able to leave at four instead of five on

318
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:52.359
<v Speaker 1>the days that I went in. Question did mister Epstein

319
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.079
<v Speaker 1>call or make requests of you outside of work hours? Answer?

320
00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.599
<v Speaker 1>That happened later with the smartphones. Yeah, he had no filter.

321
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.119
<v Speaker 1>It became more like twenty four to seven holidays. Uh huh.

322
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Question when did that start? Answer? I would say, I'm

323
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:10.680
<v Speaker 1>just trying to remember twenty eleven, twenty twelve, thirteen. I'm

324
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:12.680
<v Speaker 1>just trying to put it in perspective of where I

325
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:16.240
<v Speaker 1>was living. Yeah, around that time period. It progressed over time.

326
00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Question sure, so fair to say starting in twenty eleven,

327
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:24.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty twelve, maybe twenty thirteen, you were working pretty long

328
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:26.920
<v Speaker 1>hours because mister Epstein might reach out to you at

329
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:31.519
<v Speaker 1>any point. Answer, yeah, it was not just typical hours. Question.

330
00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:33.599
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to ask you a few questions about the

331
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:37.200
<v Speaker 1>offices that you worked in. You said earlier that when

332
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:39.920
<v Speaker 1>you started working for mister Epstein you worked at four

333
00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:45.200
<v Speaker 1>fifty seven Madison Avenue. Is that correct? Answer? Correct question?

334
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:47.240
<v Speaker 1>And that was from two thousand and one to two

335
00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:51.400
<v Speaker 1>thousand and nine. Correct answer, correct question. Can you tell

336
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:54.160
<v Speaker 1>us more about how that office was set up? Answer? Sure.

337
00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:57.039
<v Speaker 1>So when you came into the courtyard of the Helmsley

338
00:18:57.119 --> 00:18:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Palace on the left hand side what they called the

339
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:03.200
<v Speaker 1>villa house. So you entered a door and there was

340
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:05.839
<v Speaker 1>a security guard there, and then a small elevator that

341
00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:07.319
<v Speaker 1>took you up to go to I think it was

342
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.599
<v Speaker 1>the fourth floor, and that elevator dumped you right into

343
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:14.079
<v Speaker 1>the reception area of the office space. Then there was

344
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:17.240
<v Speaker 1>a receptionist desk there, there were two bathrooms. To the left,

345
00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:20.559
<v Speaker 1>there was a large office that had the accountants and

346
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:23.279
<v Speaker 1>the trader and the controller. To the right was Darren

347
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:26.559
<v Speaker 1>in Dyke's office and kitchen. And then you headed down

348
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:28.759
<v Speaker 1>the corridor and there was a door on the right

349
00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:31.920
<v Speaker 1>hand side that went into the office where miss Maxwell sat,

350
00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Darren and Jeff's assistant redacted sat in there, and there

351
00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:41.000
<v Speaker 1>were several desks. Question what about mister Epstein? Where was he? Answer? Yes,

352
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:43.759
<v Speaker 1>So down that same corridor there was a door. Oh,

353
00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:46.480
<v Speaker 1>there was first of all Jeff Shant's office, and then

354
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:50.319
<v Speaker 1>there was mister Epstein's office. Question and where were you

355
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:52.960
<v Speaker 1>in a relationship or excuse me, where were you in

356
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:56.319
<v Speaker 1>relation to mister Epstein? Answer right, So my office was

357
00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:58.640
<v Speaker 1>next to his. You had to go down the long

358
00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:01.480
<v Speaker 1>corridor and the door to my office was right of

359
00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:04.039
<v Speaker 1>the whole office. And then my desk was in the middle.

360
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:06.680
<v Speaker 1>And he had a very very large office, and he

361
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:09.680
<v Speaker 1>had a door you could enter his office from the corridor,

362
00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:11.720
<v Speaker 1>or there was a door next to the desk that

363
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:14.799
<v Speaker 1>you could enter into his office as well. Question, So

364
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:16.640
<v Speaker 1>you would have seen people coming in and out of

365
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:19.960
<v Speaker 1>his office. Answer. Actually, he kept his door closed to

366
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:22.960
<v Speaker 1>my office most of the time. If people came, they

367
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:25.440
<v Speaker 1>entered in that first door. To go into the office,

368
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:27.599
<v Speaker 1>he had to set up with a sofa and a

369
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:30.240
<v Speaker 1>fireplace at the front of the office, and then at

370
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:35.359
<v Speaker 1>the back of the office was his desk. Question when

371
00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:38.160
<v Speaker 1>you left the offices at four fifty seven Madison, did

372
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:40.880

373
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:44.440

00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:50.119
<v Speaker 1>one East sixty six. Question And how long were you there? Answer?

375
00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I believe that was two three years? Okay. Question so

376
00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:58.000
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and nine to twenty eleven or twelve. Answer,

377
00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:01.440
<v Speaker 1>I think that's right, Yeah, okay. And then after that

378

<v Speaker 1>question so you would have seen people come in and

392
00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:50.400

393
00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:52.759
<v Speaker 1>the office was situated, you came in the front door

394
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:55.359
<v Speaker 1>and there was a foire where you walked up about

395
00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:57.799
<v Speaker 1>eight to ten steps, and then at the platform at

396
00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:00.680
<v Speaker 1>the top there was a door on the left my office.

397
00:22:01.319 --> 00:22:04.240
<v Speaker 1>It was an oval room, and my desk was set

398
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:06.200
<v Speaker 1>in the back of the office, which was actually the

399
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:09.799
<v Speaker 1>desk out the window was seventy first Street, So you

400
00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:11.920
<v Speaker 1>had to come up the steps, make a left into

401
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:14.200
<v Speaker 1>my office, and then come back towards the front of

402
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:16.799
<v Speaker 1>the house, if you will. And my desk was there

403
00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:20.480
<v Speaker 1>so people could come and go that I would not

404
00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:24.680
<v Speaker 1>see question because your back was to the window. Groff,

405

406
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:31.799

407
00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:34.160
<v Speaker 1>call them dorman, I mean, not a doorman like you

410
00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:42.880
<v Speaker 1>who would let them in? Miss Groff? It would be

00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:46.559
<v Speaker 1>the maid Lynn, the butler Jojo, or maybe Rich was

412
00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:50.680
<v Speaker 1>the engineer's security guy. Mister Garcia. Would it be one

413
00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:53.119

443
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:41.240
<v Speaker 1>up until two thousand and five. I did get a

444
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:43.759
<v Speaker 1>bonus of ten thousand dollars the first year. I don't

445
00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:47.000
<v Speaker 1>recall how much my bonus was the next year. I

446
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:49.119
<v Speaker 1>know after I had my child, I went up to

447
00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:52.079
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and twenty thousand, and that was four until

448
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:55.160
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and nine, and then it dropped to one

449
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:57.599
<v Speaker 1>thousand and eight dollars and then it went back up

450
00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:00.640
<v Speaker 1>in twenty fifteen to I don't know, one hundred and

451
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:03.559
<v Speaker 1>thirty thousand. I'm guessing I think maybe it went to

452
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:05.640
<v Speaker 1>as high as one hundred and fifty and then it

453
00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:08.960
<v Speaker 1>went back down again. Question when did it go down?

454
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Answer in twenty seventeen, I think it went down nominally.

455
00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:18.039
<v Speaker 1>Question as you know. In twenty sixteen, mister Epstein was

456
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:21.799
<v Speaker 1>charged with solicitation of prostitution and an excuse me. In

457
00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:25.240
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and six, mister Ebstein was charged with solicitation

458
00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:29.279
<v Speaker 1>of prostitution. In two thousand and eight, he pleaded to

459
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:33.599
<v Speaker 1>solicitation a prostitution and solicitation of a minor for prostitution,

460
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:37.440
<v Speaker 1>after which he served thirteen months in the Palm Beach Zocade.

461
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:40.079
<v Speaker 1>We're going to get into that in more depth later,

462
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:42.599
<v Speaker 1>but I'd like to ask you some questions about what

463
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:44.839
<v Speaker 1>you were aware of in the time that you work

464
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:47.279
<v Speaker 1>for mister Epstein, and I'd like to focus on the

465
00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:51.720
<v Speaker 1>time that you spent at ninety seventy First Street. I

466
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:54.240
<v Speaker 1>understand that you didn't see people come in and doubt,

467
00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:57.240
<v Speaker 1>but when you were there the years that you spent there,

468
00:25:57.359 --> 00:25:59.680
<v Speaker 1>did you see minor girls and young women at the

469
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:04.720
<v Speaker 1>proper answer no minors, no question. Young women answer if

470
00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:07.839
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about the assistance all of age question not

471
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:12.000
<v Speaker 1>the staff answer, oh, no, no question. So, from twenty

472
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:15.519
<v Speaker 1>thirteen to twenty nineteen, the time that you spent at

473
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.880
<v Speaker 1>the residence, you never once saw minor girls or young women.

474
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Answer that's correct. Question you never observed mister Epstein interacting

475
00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:28.000
<v Speaker 1>with minor girls or young women. Answer no, mister Whitcomb

476
00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:32.839
<v Speaker 1>at the residence. Mis redacted at the residence. All right, folks,

477
00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:35.400
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna wrap up right here, and in the next episode,

478
00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:38.240
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna pick up where we left off. All the

479
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:41.279
<v Speaker 1>information that goes with this episode can be found in

480
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome to another

481
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:48.279
<v Speaker 1>episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going

482
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:50.920
<v Speaker 1>to pick up where we left off with a Leslie

483
00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Groff interview with Congress. Question misredacted. When did you first

484
00:26:57.759 --> 00:27:00.440
<v Speaker 1>learn that mister Epstein was under investigation by the Palm

485
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:03.599
<v Speaker 1>Beach Police Answer I believe it was in two thousand

486
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:06.880
<v Speaker 1>and seven. Question what was your understanding at the time

487
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:10.160
<v Speaker 1>of why he was being investigated? Answer? He told me

488
00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:13.599
<v Speaker 1>that he was being blackmailed. Question when did you first

489
00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:16.880
<v Speaker 1>learn that he had been arrested and charged with solicitation

490
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:22.319
<v Speaker 1>of prostitution? Answer? I think sometime around two thousand and seven.

491
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:26.319
<v Speaker 1>Question what was your understanding at the time of exactly

492
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:30.599
<v Speaker 1>what he was accused of doing of the underlying conduct? Answer?

493
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:33.279
<v Speaker 1>Could you say that again? I'm sorry? Question what was

494
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:35.799
<v Speaker 1>your understanding at the time of exactly what he was

495
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:39.119
<v Speaker 1>accused of doing? Answer? I believed him. I believe that

496
00:27:39.160 --> 00:27:41.279
<v Speaker 1>he was being black meled and that it was false,

497
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:43.599
<v Speaker 1>and that he totally had me believe that he was.

498
00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:47.480
<v Speaker 1>It was not what they were saying. Question when did

499
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:49.799
<v Speaker 1>you first learn that the conduct that issue involved the

500
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:54.720
<v Speaker 1>sexual abuse of minor girls, specifically high school students. Answer

501
00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:58.039
<v Speaker 1>when did? I Could you say that again? Answer when

502
00:27:58.119 --> 00:28:00.880
<v Speaker 1>did you first learn that the conduct issue involved the

503
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:06.720
<v Speaker 1>sexual abuse of minor girls, specifically high school students. Mister Buckner,

504
00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:09.240
<v Speaker 1>could you give a time frame as to when you

505
00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:13.039
<v Speaker 1>want you mean ever learned redacted? When did she learn that?

506
00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Yes in relation to him being arrested and charged mister Bockner,

507
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:20.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry in two thousand and seven. Answer yeah, correct,

508
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:25.279
<v Speaker 1>Miss Groth. In two thousand and seven. I believe he

509
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:27.519
<v Speaker 1>told me that he was being charged with solicitation of

510
00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:30.240
<v Speaker 1>a minor, but that he was being blackmailed. He didn't

511
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:32.799
<v Speaker 1>know that this person was a miner, and that was it,

512
00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:36.480
<v Speaker 1>and I believed him he lied to me. Question, did

513
00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:40.359
<v Speaker 1>learning that the conduct that issue, that what he was

514
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:42.839
<v Speaker 1>accused of involved minors, did that concern you at all?

515
00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:45.839
<v Speaker 1>Mister Whitcomb. Just objection to the form of the question,

516
00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:50.599
<v Speaker 1>mister adacted. Counsel, this is a transcribed interview in Congress.

517
00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:53.359
<v Speaker 1>There are no rules of evidence here, so please let

518
00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:57.119
<v Speaker 1>counsel ask the question, mister Whitcomb. Okay, I'll take that

519
00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:01.319
<v Speaker 1>under advisement, sir, mister adacted. Thank you, mister Bockner. Just

520
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:05.319
<v Speaker 1>for clarity, say minor not miners. Groff. I was going

521
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:07.960
<v Speaker 1>to say, I didn't even think it was plural. I

522
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:10.279
<v Speaker 1>was told it was a minor, so I did not.

523
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:14.559
<v Speaker 1>I was not. I was unaware that you're making it plural.

524
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:16.799
<v Speaker 1>I was told it was one miner and it was

525
00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:20.839
<v Speaker 1>a mistake, and that he was being blackmailed redacted. So

526
00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:23.160
<v Speaker 1>it didn't concern you to learn that the conduct that

527
00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:26.799
<v Speaker 1>issue involved gets cut off by Groff, Well, then gets

528
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:29.839
<v Speaker 1>cut off by redacted under your belief a minor it

529
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:32.799
<v Speaker 1>didn't concern you, Miss Groff, Well, I didn't. I didn't

530
00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:36.039
<v Speaker 1>like it. But he he was remorseful and said he

531
00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:37.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't know that it was a mistake and he was

532
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:41.799
<v Speaker 1>being black mailed, and I believed him. Redacted. Question if

533
00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:47.519
<v Speaker 1>I can ask, if he's being blackmailed, what's he remorseful for? Answer, well,

534
00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:50.039
<v Speaker 1>he didn't know that. It was a minor. Question he

535
00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:52.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't know that was a minor answer the person that

536
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.079
<v Speaker 1>was accusing him, that was blackmailing him. Question, So, I guess,

537
00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:58.359
<v Speaker 1>just to back up a little bit, you're describing how

538
00:29:58.359 --> 00:30:01.880
<v Speaker 1>mister Epstein's being blackmailed. Can you describe I guess what

539
00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the blackmail is that he told you? Like, what's the

540
00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:08.920
<v Speaker 1>underlying conduct and how is he being blackmailed? Answer? Right,

541
00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:11.599
<v Speaker 1>I believed. I just thought that whoever this was must

542
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:14.119
<v Speaker 1>have done it on purpose, and I don't know, showing

543
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:16.279
<v Speaker 1>him a fake ID, I don't know. We didn't get

544
00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:19.599
<v Speaker 1>into specifics. He didn't tell me exactly how it was happening,

545
00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:22.000
<v Speaker 1>but I thought that it seemed like something that could

546
00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:24.640
<v Speaker 1>be happening to him because he was a very wealthy man.

547
00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Question and then you mentioned it was a mistake. That

548
00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:31.200
<v Speaker 1>was a mistake. Answer that he didn't know that this

549
00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:34.319
<v Speaker 1>person was a miner. Question and what did he do

550
00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:37.519
<v Speaker 1>with this miner that would cause this? Answer? Oh, I

551
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:40.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Question So he was just interacting with a miner,

552
00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:43.440
<v Speaker 1>and now the miner is blackmailing him. I just want

553
00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:46.200
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that I understand what you're conveying here.

554
00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:49.319
<v Speaker 1>Answer right, Yes, I don't think that he knew it

555
00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:52.039
<v Speaker 1>was a setup. He believed it was a setup, and

556
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:55.839
<v Speaker 1>that's the way he explained it to me. Question did

557
00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:58.039
<v Speaker 1>learning that he was involved with a miner lead you

558
00:30:58.079 --> 00:31:00.960
<v Speaker 1>to reevaluate anything that you had seen or heard or

559
00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:04.799
<v Speaker 1>learned about up until that point as one of his employees?

560
00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Answer evaluate question did you see anything that you had

561
00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:11.640
<v Speaker 1>been asked to do? Maybe in a different light knowing

562
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:14.960
<v Speaker 1>that mister Epstein had been involved with a miner. Answer

563
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I had never seen anything improper and I did not

564
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:21.119
<v Speaker 1>think that way. I'm a very positive person. I believe

565
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:25.039
<v Speaker 1>the best in people. And no question And did you

566
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:28.279
<v Speaker 1>have any reservations about continuing to work for mister Epstein?

567
00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:32.079
<v Speaker 1>Answer not at that time. Question. In the following years,

568
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:35.480
<v Speaker 1>you spend a significant amount of time scheduling young women

569
00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:39.039
<v Speaker 1>to visit and travel with mister Epstein. Given that he

570
00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:42.240
<v Speaker 1>had pleaded guilty to conduct involving miners, were you concerned

571
00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:45.920
<v Speaker 1>that he was sexually abusing these young women? Answer No,

572
00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:49.440
<v Speaker 1>I never saw anything. She gets cut off by the questioner.

573
00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:55.240
<v Speaker 1>That didn't cross your mind at any point? Answer, I

574
00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:58.519
<v Speaker 1>never saw anything improper. Everyone who was around, as said,

575
00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:01.440
<v Speaker 1>seem very happy. No one ever seemed to be in duress.

576
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:05.279
<v Speaker 1>And I did not question. And what was your interpretation

577
00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:08.079
<v Speaker 1>of why he pleaded guilty. If he's explaining to you

578
00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:12.359
<v Speaker 1>that the underlying allegations were false, why did he plead guilty? Grof?

579
00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Why did he plead guilty? Backner, What did he tell you?

580
00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:18.480
<v Speaker 1>If he did? Would come? If you know Groff, he

581
00:32:18.599 --> 00:32:21.880
<v Speaker 1>just told me that he was being blackmailed, and that's it, redacted.

582
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:23.960
<v Speaker 1>And I understand that he may have told you that.

583
00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I guess I'm asking for your opinion. So at some

584
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:30.799
<v Speaker 1>point he tells you that he's being blackmailed. Eventually down

585
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:33.799
<v Speaker 1>the line he pleads guilty to these charges which you

586
00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:38.119
<v Speaker 1>mentioned that you became aware of. Answer right question in

587
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:40.400
<v Speaker 1>your opinion or I guessed in your mind at the time.

588
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:43.400
<v Speaker 1>How did you square those two things, Miss Groff. I

589

00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:01.240

632
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:24.880
<v Speaker 1>If I was directed to set aside an apartment of

633
00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:27.840
<v Speaker 1>mister Epstein's for one of mister Brunell's models, It's possible,

634
00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:30.400
<v Speaker 1>but I did not. It was my job to say

635
00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:34.000
<v Speaker 1>who was going to stay in an apartment? Question how

636

637
00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:40.360

639
00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:46.000

640
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:48.079
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand and one. I think they knew each

641
00:35:48.079 --> 00:35:52.320
<v Speaker 1>other before that. Question and would you qualify mister Epstein's

642
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:56.760
<v Speaker 1>relationship with mister Brunel as a friendship mister Groff or

643
00:35:56.800 --> 00:36:01.119
<v Speaker 1>ms Groff, I think there were friends and business partners redacted.

644
00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Miss Groff, you said a number of times that you

645
00:36:03.559 --> 00:36:06.159
<v Speaker 1>met where you never met any minor girl who was

646
00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:10.239
<v Speaker 1>giving mister Epstein a massage? Is that correct? Answer? Correct question?

647
00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:12.599
<v Speaker 1>And you said you did not know that any of

648
00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:16.880
<v Speaker 1>those girls were in fact minors. Answer correct question. I

649
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:20.639
<v Speaker 1>would like to introduce as a minority exhibit A a

650
00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:24.000
<v Speaker 1>summary of the FBI's No Ever fourth twenty twenty interview

651
00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:27.639
<v Speaker 1>with the survivor of mister Epstein's abuse. The Bates number

652
00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:32.920
<v Speaker 1>is EFTA zero zero zero nine zero three three nine.

653
00:36:33.559 --> 00:36:38.800
<v Speaker 1>We've marked a relevant paragraph for you redacted. According to

654
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the summary, the survivor told the FBI that she first

655
00:36:41.760 --> 00:36:45.239
<v Speaker 1>started giving mister Epstein massages when she was fifteen years old.

656
00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:48.920
<v Speaker 1>She explained that the massages were pretenses for sexual abuse

657
00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:52.639
<v Speaker 1>and said that quote, it was pretty obvious Leslie knew

658
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:55.280
<v Speaker 1>what was going on. She also said that you knew

659
00:36:55.360 --> 00:36:58.239
<v Speaker 1>she was a minor because she explicitly told you that

660
00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:01.119
<v Speaker 1>she was not eighteen years old. And she also told

661
00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:04.400
<v Speaker 1>you that she needed money for an abortion. So I'll

662
00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:08.079
<v Speaker 1>ask you again, miss Groff, did you ever book massages

663
00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:11.800
<v Speaker 1>from mister Epstein by a girl you knew was a minor? Answer?

664
00:37:11.880 --> 00:37:16.079
<v Speaker 1>No question. So your testimony here today is that the

665
00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:20.320
<v Speaker 1>survivor told the FBI what they told them was not true. Answer.

666
00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:22.960
<v Speaker 1>I feel terrible for this survivor. I'm not saying what

667
00:37:23.039 --> 00:37:26.159
<v Speaker 1>she's thinking. That she told someone, but she did not

668
00:37:26.280 --> 00:37:28.840
<v Speaker 1>tell me. I think she is mistaken. I know she

669
00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:33.199
<v Speaker 1>is mistaken. Question the summary set redacted said to Leslie

670
00:37:33.400 --> 00:37:35.400
<v Speaker 1>that she cannot sign a lease because she was not

671
00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:40.079
<v Speaker 1>eighteen years old. Also, redacted told Leslie that she cannot

672
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:43.079
<v Speaker 1>get an apartment because she was not eighteen. She explained

673
00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:45.159
<v Speaker 1>to the FBI that she had to live in hotels

674
00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:47.960
<v Speaker 1>as a result, and that you helped her pay for them.

675
00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:51.719
<v Speaker 1>Your testimony today is that that is not true. Answer.

676
00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:57.159
<v Speaker 1>My testimony today is to say that that is not true. Question,

677
00:37:57.960 --> 00:38:01.079
<v Speaker 1>mister adacted, were you ever aware of mister Epstein paying

678
00:38:01.079 --> 00:38:03.480
<v Speaker 1>for a minor girl or young woman to have an abortion?

679
00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Miss Groff, no question, Miss Groff, I have a few

680
00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:14.199
<v Speaker 1>questions about redacted. We're gonna have some members ask some questions. Groff. Okay,

00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:33.320

687
00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:38.079
<v Speaker 1>and our conversation with Congress, and now let's throw Conna

688
00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:41.079
<v Speaker 1>asking the questions. Thank you, Miss Groff. I want to

689
00:38:41.079 --> 00:38:44.000
<v Speaker 1>ask you about several men in mister Epstein's orbit, and

690
00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:46.320
<v Speaker 1>I want you to answer for these men. Did you

691
00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:50.199
<v Speaker 1>ever see here a schedule, arrange, or learn of any

692
00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:53.000
<v Speaker 1>sexual activity with a minor girl or a young woman

693
00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:56.519
<v Speaker 1>who is introduced to these men by mister Epstein or

694
00:38:56.599 --> 00:39:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Miss Maxwell. First, Les Wexner, No Conna. Never heard scheduled arranged,

695
00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:06.679
<v Speaker 1>learned of any sexual activity of any young woman by

696
00:39:06.760 --> 00:39:11.000
<v Speaker 1>mister Wexner, Miss Groff, that's correct, No, mister Conna, Alan

697
00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:16.559
<v Speaker 1>Dershowitz Graff, no Glenn Dubin, No Conna. Beyond these names,

698
00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:19.440
<v Speaker 1>are there any other men in mister Epstein's network who

699
00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:23.199
<v Speaker 1>you believe should be investigated for is sexually abusing, exploiting,

700
00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:26.920
<v Speaker 1>or seeking access to women or girls through the Epstein

701
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:31.159
<v Speaker 1>or Miss Maxwell Graff? No Conna. Do you believe the

702
00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:33.800
<v Speaker 1>first lady is right that mister Epstein did not act

703
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:37.519
<v Speaker 1>alone in the abuse of young women, Miss Groff, I'm sorry,

704
00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:41.159
<v Speaker 1>could you say that? First Lady, Conna? The first lady

705
00:39:41.280 --> 00:39:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Malania Trump has said that mister Epstein did not act alone.

706
00:39:44.559 --> 00:39:46.840
<v Speaker 1>There were other men who were involved in the abuse

707
00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:49.480
<v Speaker 1>of young women. Do you agree with her? Groff? I'm sorry,

708
00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:53.159
<v Speaker 1>Milania Trump. Could you say that again? I'm sorry, Conna sure,

709
00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:55.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to trick you. She just said that

710
00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Epstein did not act alone in the abuse of young women.

711
00:39:59.079 --> 00:40:01.639
<v Speaker 1>Do you agree with that? Groff? I don't know. No,

712
00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, Conna, So you disagree with her? I mean,

713
00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:07.320
<v Speaker 1>to your knowledge, she's saying that he didn't act alone,

714
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:11.840
<v Speaker 1>to your knowledge gets cut off by Groff. To my knowledge,

715
00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:14.719
<v Speaker 1>Conna cuts her off. He acted alone. There's no one

716
00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:18.360
<v Speaker 1>else Groff. Yeah, Conna. I mean it's your testimony under

717
00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:20.920
<v Speaker 1>oath that you were aware of no one other than

718
00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:26.239
<v Speaker 1>Maxwell or Epstein who in any way was involved in trafficking, abuse, assault,

719
00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:31.400
<v Speaker 1>exploitation of young girls. Miss Groff, that is correct, Conna, Okay,

720
00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:34.679
<v Speaker 1>Miss then sorry, thank you. I'd like to start by

721
00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:38.280
<v Speaker 1>asking some questions about Les Wexner. In particular, how would

722
00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:41.960
<v Speaker 1>you describe mister Epstein's relationship with mister Wexner during your

723
00:40:41.960 --> 00:40:46.320
<v Speaker 1>employment with mister Epstein, Graff, during my employment, Yes, as

724
00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:51.159
<v Speaker 1>business business professional and sorry, and did their relationship change

725
00:40:51.159 --> 00:40:54.800
<v Speaker 1>over time, Groff? I knew that they needed mister Wexner

726
00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:57.280
<v Speaker 1>was no longer going to be a client of mister

727
00:40:57.320 --> 00:41:01.159
<v Speaker 1>Epstein's around two thousand and eight. And sorry, so you

728
00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:03.800
<v Speaker 1>said two thousand and eight. I think either two thousand

729
00:41:03.840 --> 00:41:05.519
<v Speaker 1>and seven or two thousand and eight. We know that

730
00:41:05.559 --> 00:41:10.239
<v Speaker 1>mister Waxner ended his relationship with mister Epstein. Mister Wexner

731
00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:13.239
<v Speaker 1>later said that the reason he did this is because

732
00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:16.400
<v Speaker 1>he discovered that mister Epstein had stolen several hundred million

733
00:41:16.440 --> 00:41:19.599
<v Speaker 1>dollars from him prior to two thousand and seven. Were

734
00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:22.480
<v Speaker 1>you aware of mister Epstein's efforts to take money from

735
00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:27.880
<v Speaker 1>mister Waxner without his knowledge? Graff? No and sorry? And

736
00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:30.199
<v Speaker 1>when did you first learn of any allegations that mister

737
00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Epstein was stealing money from mister Waxner Groff Not until

738
00:41:34.920 --> 00:41:38.760
<v Speaker 1>after twenty nineteen and sorry, Okay, so not at all

739
00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:40.880
<v Speaker 1>during the two thousand and eight two thousand and seven

740
00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:44.280
<v Speaker 1>time period, Graff, No and sorry, did you ever talk

741
00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:47.880
<v Speaker 1>to mister Epstein about mister Wexner's claims that mister Epstein

742
00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:51.840
<v Speaker 1>stole money from him. Graff, No, and sorry, I just

743
00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:53.840
<v Speaker 1>want to go back thank you for that. I just

744
00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:56.639
<v Speaker 1>want to go back to some of the questions about

745
00:41:56.719 --> 00:41:59.880
<v Speaker 1>what redacted was asking about your knowledge, of course to

746
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:02.760
<v Speaker 1>one thousand and six. Mister Epstein was arrested two thousand

747
00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:05.639
<v Speaker 1>and eight, he pleaded guilty. He told you it was blackmail.

748
00:42:05.960 --> 00:42:09.480
<v Speaker 1>You continue to work for him until twenty nineteen. In hindsight,

749
00:42:09.519 --> 00:42:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I understand your testimony. But in hindsight, is there anything

750
00:42:13.320 --> 00:42:15.760
<v Speaker 1>that you saw or heard that would give you pause

751
00:42:16.280 --> 00:42:19.320
<v Speaker 1>or that should have given you pause? Graff. In hindsight,

752
00:42:19.559 --> 00:42:22.480
<v Speaker 1>we all have access to his personal emails. It's awful.

753
00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:26.119
<v Speaker 1>It's horrendous. I feel terrible. I wish that someone had

754
00:42:26.119 --> 00:42:28.679
<v Speaker 1>come to me and said something. I would have helped them.

755
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:31.880
<v Speaker 1>I would have gone to the authorities. As said, everyone

756
00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:34.719
<v Speaker 1>seemed happy to be in his orbit. I actually thought

757
00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:37.639
<v Speaker 1>of them as fortunate. I was happy for them that

758
00:42:37.719 --> 00:42:39.880
<v Speaker 1>it seemed to me like their lives were going to

759
00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:44.320
<v Speaker 1>be better than possibly the direction they were heading. Miss An. Sorry,

760
00:42:44.519 --> 00:42:47.119
<v Speaker 1>and you're specifically speaking to the staff or the women,

761
00:42:47.239 --> 00:42:50.320
<v Speaker 1>the girls, Graff, any of the victims, and especially the

762
00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:53.559
<v Speaker 1>traveling assistant who I knew. It breaks my heart. Yeah,

763
00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:57.360
<v Speaker 1>and sorry, I think, just you know, speaking really as

764
00:42:57.400 --> 00:42:59.400
<v Speaker 1>a human being, I think it's hard to believe that

765
00:42:59.480 --> 00:43:02.360
<v Speaker 1>after no that he was arrested and pleaded guilty to

766
00:43:02.519 --> 00:43:05.719
<v Speaker 1>solicitation of a minor, being so close in his orbit

767
00:43:05.800 --> 00:43:09.159
<v Speaker 1>for ten plus years, that there was nothing that you

768
00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:13.119
<v Speaker 1>would have seen being so intimately involved that should have

769
00:43:13.119 --> 00:43:15.760
<v Speaker 1>given you pause. And I think for us, as we

770
00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:19.039
<v Speaker 1>do our investigation and trying to get closer to the truth,

771
00:43:19.599 --> 00:43:22.039
<v Speaker 1>it would be as helpful as possible to know if

772
00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:25.159
<v Speaker 1>there's somebody else that we should interview, or anyone else

773
00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:27.599
<v Speaker 1>that you think we should talk to that would have

774
00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:32.199
<v Speaker 1>seen or could guide us further to further answers. Graf,

775
00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:35.239
<v Speaker 1>I want to be helpful. I did not see anything inappropriate.

776
00:43:35.599 --> 00:43:37.840
<v Speaker 1>He was a master manipulator and kept me on the

777
00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:40.760
<v Speaker 1>outside and it was I can see, completely on purpose.

778
00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:43.039
<v Speaker 1>He lied to me, and I think he lied to everyone,

779
00:43:43.639 --> 00:43:46.280
<v Speaker 1>and I think he was an absolute professional at keeping

780
00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:52.320
<v Speaker 1>people separated. And sorry, thank you, mister Submarannium. We were

781
00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:55.159
<v Speaker 1>just talking about scheduling earlier. Did you schedule any meetings

782
00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:57.880
<v Speaker 1>with Jeffrey Epstein and other heads of state or high

783
00:43:57.880 --> 00:44:02.880
<v Speaker 1>profile politicians like Bill Clinton, Sommeranium, Yeah, are there any

784
00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:05.840
<v Speaker 1>names that come to mind of high profile politicians that

785
00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:09.760
<v Speaker 1>you scheduled meetings with Jeffrey Epstein, Groff, Yes, I mean

786
00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:12.760
<v Speaker 1>I know he met with Alan Dershowitz, he met Larry Summers.

787
00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Would coom he's asking about politicians, Graff? Right, But would

788
00:44:17.920 --> 00:44:22.840
<v Speaker 1>coom he's asking about politicians, Groff. Let's see, I remember

789
00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:25.559
<v Speaker 1>him speaking with Senator Kerry. I remember him speaking with

790
00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:29.119
<v Speaker 1>General Wesley Clark. I remember him speaking with in politics,

791
00:44:29.159 --> 00:44:32.960
<v Speaker 1>George Mitchell, governor of New Mexico, sorry, governor of New Mexico.

792
00:44:33.480 --> 00:44:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Let's see, well, early on he spoke with Trump, but

793
00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:40.159
<v Speaker 1>that was before he became president. Mister Summaranian, what do

794
00:44:40.199 --> 00:44:42.599
<v Speaker 1>you mean he spoke with Trump? Did you set up

795
00:44:42.599 --> 00:44:46.119
<v Speaker 1>schedule meetings with him and Trump? Groff? I would connect

796
00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:50.320
<v Speaker 1>phone calls, that was it, Summaranium. Was that pretty frequent? Groff? No,

797
00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:53.360
<v Speaker 1>And you know what I get it, But not one

798
00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:58.119
<v Speaker 1>question about George Mitchell or Senator Kerry. All of it matters,

799
00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:03.480
<v Speaker 1>not just your jihad against the president and the administration. Now,

800
00:45:03.480 --> 00:45:05.280
<v Speaker 1>of course that's part of it, but that can't be

801
00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:09.880
<v Speaker 1>the sole focus. Ms Groff, I don't know. Do you

802
00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:12.679
<v Speaker 1>have names that you want to Summaranian? Yeah? What about

803
00:45:12.679 --> 00:45:16.119
<v Speaker 1>Prince Andrew? How often did you connect them? Graff? Oh? Yeah,

804
00:45:16.119 --> 00:45:20.639
<v Speaker 1>he spoke with Prince Andrew. Summaranian? How often, Graf? If

805
00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Prince Andrew was in town, you know, let's say it

806
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:24.639
<v Speaker 1>would be the week he was in town. But after

807
00:45:24.679 --> 00:45:26.639
<v Speaker 1>that he went back to the UK. You know, it

808
00:45:26.719 --> 00:45:31.960
<v Speaker 1>was infrequent, mister Submaranian. What about elwud Brock, former Prime Minister,

809
00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:36.239
<v Speaker 1>Miss Groff elhwud Brock, yes, mister Submaranian. How often would

810
00:45:36.239 --> 00:45:39.320
<v Speaker 1>they meet? Miss Groff? Well, the same thing if elhud

811
00:45:39.400 --> 00:45:42.000
<v Speaker 1>was in town. If mister Brock was in town, they

812
00:45:42.039 --> 00:45:45.559
<v Speaker 1>would meet for breakfast, lunch, dinner, have appointments, But when

813
00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:47.559
<v Speaker 1>he was out of town it would be less frequent.

814
00:45:48.519 --> 00:45:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Mister Submaranian. Did you make appointments for any of his

815
00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:55.679
<v Speaker 1>assistants or any of the girls around with other people? Answer? No,

816
00:45:56.320 --> 00:45:59.920
<v Speaker 1>mister Submaranian. So it was always appointments for Jeffrey Epstein

817
00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:04.719
<v Speaker 1>and someone else. It never veered from that. Groff, correct, Submaranian.

818
00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:07.880
<v Speaker 1>So what about Glenn Maxwell without Jeffrey Epstein, would you

819
00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:11.159
<v Speaker 1>ever set anything up, Grof. I didn't set up appointments

820
00:46:11.199 --> 00:46:14.840
<v Speaker 1>for miss Maxwell. Submaranian. Did you ever arrange travel for

821
00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:20.159
<v Speaker 1>mister Epstein and the girls Groff is traveling assistants Submaranian? Yes, Groff,

822
00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:23.280
<v Speaker 1>they would go on the plane with them, Submaranian. Did

823
00:46:23.320 --> 00:46:26.360
<v Speaker 1>you arrange like, did you handle their passports or view

824
00:46:26.360 --> 00:46:30.960
<v Speaker 1>their passports in any way? Grof? No, Summaranian, So you

825
00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:33.559
<v Speaker 1>never saw their passports, Miss Groff. I may have seen

826
00:46:33.599 --> 00:46:35.920
<v Speaker 1>a passport a picture of a passport, but I never

827
00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:40.719
<v Speaker 1>had anything to do with the passports, mister Submaranian, So

828
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:44.400
<v Speaker 1>you didn't arrange their travel, just his travel, Groff. If

829
00:46:44.440 --> 00:46:47.000
<v Speaker 1>an assistant needed to meet with them, say one assistant

830
00:46:47.039 --> 00:46:49.280
<v Speaker 1>was going to leave and another assistant was going to

831
00:46:49.280 --> 00:46:51.960
<v Speaker 1>come in, then I might make a commercial airline flight

832
00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:56.039
<v Speaker 1>for that assistant, Submaranian, And so you would handle their idea.

833
00:46:56.119 --> 00:46:59.119
<v Speaker 1>Is that correct for making a commercial airline Graff? I

834
00:46:59.159 --> 00:47:04.599
<v Speaker 1>never had their ID? Smranian. You never handle id, Graff, No, Smranian.

835
00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:08.079
<v Speaker 1>Would you have to insert the birthdate? Graff? Insert the

836
00:47:08.079 --> 00:47:11.159
<v Speaker 1>birth date? Sure? Some Iranian? So you knew their ages

837
00:47:11.599 --> 00:47:14.639
<v Speaker 1>of any of the girls gets cut off by Graff, Yeah,

838
00:47:14.719 --> 00:47:17.559
<v Speaker 1>I would know it. At the time. Sure, Somemranian, okay.

839
00:47:17.599 --> 00:47:21.599
<v Speaker 1>Were any of them under eighteen graf? No, Somemmranian okay?

840
00:47:21.800 --> 00:47:25.400
<v Speaker 1>So everyone where you handled their information was over eighteen

841
00:47:25.920 --> 00:47:29.880
<v Speaker 1>graph Yes, summaranium okay? Great? And then do you know

842
00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:34.920
<v Speaker 1>who you must have known who Barbara and Bambit was?

843
00:47:35.039 --> 00:47:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Is that correct? Graf? Yes, Summaranian. And do you know

844
00:47:38.400 --> 00:47:41.440
<v Speaker 1>what I'm referring to when I say BBB girls graf?

845
00:47:41.519 --> 00:47:46.119
<v Speaker 1>I do somemaranium. What is your understanding of that? Miss Graff?

846
00:47:46.159 --> 00:47:49.280
<v Speaker 1>There were Barbar's best and brightest. I think that's what

847
00:47:49.320 --> 00:47:52.320
<v Speaker 1>the BBB stood for. They were the Stockholm School of

848
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:55.559
<v Speaker 1>Economics and they were, you know, very bright women that

849
00:47:55.679 --> 00:47:58.119
<v Speaker 1>I think it was a social group or a mentoring

850
00:47:58.119 --> 00:48:01.599
<v Speaker 1>group of hers. Somemranium are you aware of it? Looks

851
00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:03.280
<v Speaker 1>like my time is up. I'll move on to the

852
00:48:03.320 --> 00:48:08.599
<v Speaker 1>next questioner. Now it's Melanie Stansbury, Miss Stansbury High, Miss

853
00:48:08.679 --> 00:48:11.599
<v Speaker 1>Groff High. Stansbury, thank you so much for coming in.

854
00:48:11.840 --> 00:48:16.159
<v Speaker 1>We appreciate it. I'm Melanie Stansbury. I represent New Mexico,

855
00:48:16.719 --> 00:48:19.320
<v Speaker 1>and as you are probably aware, New Mexico is passed

856
00:48:19.320 --> 00:48:22.440
<v Speaker 1>a bipartisan Truth Commission that is trying to piece together

857
00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:25.679
<v Speaker 1>the story of Zoro Ranch what happened there, to understand

858
00:48:25.679 --> 00:48:27.880
<v Speaker 1>the abuse of both people who are brought to the

859
00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:31.639
<v Speaker 1>ranch as well as locals who are recruited for massages.

860
00:48:32.280 --> 00:48:35.840
<v Speaker 1>And it's completely bipartisan effort, and really our effort is

861
00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:38.079
<v Speaker 1>really to get to the heart of it. And so

862
00:48:38.199 --> 00:48:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I see on various flight records that you visited Zoro Ranch.

863
00:48:41.559 --> 00:48:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Did you travel? You did not, Groff, I never went

864
00:48:45.039 --> 00:48:48.239
<v Speaker 1>to Zoro Ranch, Stansbury, Okay, I'm sorry, I thought you

865
00:48:48.280 --> 00:48:52.320
<v Speaker 1>had Groff. No, Stansbury, did you schedule massages for mister

866
00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Epstein while he was at Zoro Ranch, Miss Groff, It's possible.

867
00:48:56.159 --> 00:48:59.679
<v Speaker 1>Nothing comes to mind, but it's possible, Stansbury, given that

868
00:48:59.679 --> 00:49:02.400
<v Speaker 1>you were, you had eyes on a schedule, and you

869
00:49:02.440 --> 00:49:05.360
<v Speaker 1>were arranging various activities for him while he was traveling.

870
00:49:05.880 --> 00:49:09.159
<v Speaker 1>Are there prominent New Mexico figures or people associated with

871
00:49:09.280 --> 00:49:12.880
<v Speaker 1>New Mexico other than the Governor, who you already mentioned

872
00:49:13.119 --> 00:49:15.639
<v Speaker 1>that you scheduled appointments for that you were aware of

873
00:49:15.880 --> 00:49:18.840
<v Speaker 1>that he was hanging out with. Miss Groff. No, I

874
00:49:18.840 --> 00:49:22.920
<v Speaker 1>don't recall anybody except the Governor, Miss Stansbury. So what

875
00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:25.400
<v Speaker 1>was your understanding of why he was going to New Mexico,

876
00:49:26.039 --> 00:49:29.519
<v Speaker 1>Miss Groff, that was kind of like vacation time for him.

877
00:49:29.599 --> 00:49:33.119
<v Speaker 1>He didn't go very often, Stansbury. About how often would

878
00:49:33.159 --> 00:49:36.119
<v Speaker 1>you say he went? Groff once a year, Maybe it

879
00:49:36.199 --> 00:49:40.159
<v Speaker 1>was his least visited location, Stansbury. So did you not

880
00:49:40.199 --> 00:49:43.239
<v Speaker 1>schedule appointments and meetings and massages for him while he

881
00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:46.599
<v Speaker 1>was there? Groff? I would, but I would say that

882
00:49:46.679 --> 00:49:48.760
<v Speaker 1>it became a lot less. I think it was more

883
00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:51.760
<v Speaker 1>like a vacation, if you will, Stansbury. So who was

884
00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:54.679
<v Speaker 1>the scheduler at that time, Groff? It would be whatever,

885
00:49:54.719 --> 00:50:00.599
<v Speaker 1>whoever traveling assistant Stansbury, Okay, Miss Groff. They would be

886
00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:03.159
<v Speaker 1>there on the premise. And he had a full staff

887
00:50:03.159 --> 00:50:05.599
<v Speaker 1>there in ranch hands. Not that the ranch hands were

888
00:50:05.599 --> 00:50:08.239
<v Speaker 1>scheduling appointments, but he did have a staff that lived there.

889
00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:11.440
<v Speaker 1>I believe you're around. It was not a place that

890
00:50:11.559 --> 00:50:14.840
<v Speaker 1>he went very often that I could see, Stansbury, Okay.

891
00:50:15.119 --> 00:50:18.119
<v Speaker 1>In terms of scheduling massages. In the earlier part of

892
00:50:18.159 --> 00:50:21.360
<v Speaker 1>the interview today, you said, as I heard you say

893
00:50:21.599 --> 00:50:24.559
<v Speaker 1>that you schedule massages often on a daily basis for

894
00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:27.760
<v Speaker 1>mister Epstein, And you also said in your earlier statement

895
00:50:28.039 --> 00:50:31.760
<v Speaker 1>that you also scheduled massages for others. Can you tell

896
00:50:31.800 --> 00:50:34.440
<v Speaker 1>us of the people you schedule massages for other than

897
00:50:34.519 --> 00:50:39.599
<v Speaker 1>Jeffrey Epstein Groff, Yeah, sure, I recall Kathy Rumler. He

898
00:50:39.639 --> 00:50:42.320
<v Speaker 1>would he'd like to give spot cards as gifts, and

899
00:50:42.400 --> 00:50:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I know that he gave her a SPA gift or

900
00:50:44.000 --> 00:50:46.280
<v Speaker 1>treatments just to help her out. I think she was

901
00:50:46.400 --> 00:50:49.400
<v Speaker 1>very busy. Stansbury. Can you pull up some more names

902
00:50:49.559 --> 00:50:52.679
<v Speaker 1>because we have limited time here, Groff, She's the only

903
00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:55.639
<v Speaker 1>one that comes to mind that I can recall. Stansbury,

904
00:50:55.840 --> 00:50:59.480
<v Speaker 1>did you ever schedule massages for men? Groff? It's possible.

905
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:01.599
<v Speaker 1>I don't recall a man that I would have scheduled

906
00:51:01.639 --> 00:51:06.320
<v Speaker 1>a massage for Stansbury. Okay, moving on to your renuneration

907
00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:09.800
<v Speaker 1>of your employment with mister Epstein. There's email correspondence in

908
00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:13.119
<v Speaker 1>the files the DJ release that indicate that at least once,

909
00:51:13.360 --> 00:51:16.199
<v Speaker 1>if not multiple times, in your employment you were paid

910
00:51:16.199 --> 00:51:18.960
<v Speaker 1>through a loan that you arranged with Richard Kahn, and

911
00:51:19.039 --> 00:51:22.039
<v Speaker 1>it actually says in the correspondence that it was forgivable

912
00:51:22.239 --> 00:51:26.639
<v Speaker 1>upon his death. Groth. Yes, Stansbury, have you received any

913
00:51:26.719 --> 00:51:29.039
<v Speaker 1>lump sums or loans that you can tell us the

914
00:51:29.079 --> 00:51:31.800
<v Speaker 1>total amount of money you receive from Jeffrey Epstein or

915
00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:35.679
<v Speaker 1>his estate Grof. So in twenty sixteen, I believe my

916
00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:38.639
<v Speaker 1>salary did change to a loan plus a small paycheck,

917
00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:41.599
<v Speaker 1>and the loan I just was told it was a

918
00:51:41.599 --> 00:51:44.400
<v Speaker 1>new structure that my salary would be and how it

919
00:51:44.440 --> 00:51:48.599
<v Speaker 1>would be now. And in twenty sixteen it was one

920
00:51:48.679 --> 00:51:50.719
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand, and I believe it was the same for

921
00:51:50.800 --> 00:51:54.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, and then in twenty nineteen it

922
00:51:55.039 --> 00:51:58.039
<v Speaker 1>was one hundred and ten thousand. But as that happened,

923
00:51:58.039 --> 00:52:02.239
<v Speaker 1>the salary portion became less Stansbury. But did you receive

924
00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:05.400
<v Speaker 1>any other large lump sums outside your salary? Graf, No,

925
00:52:05.840 --> 00:52:08.599
<v Speaker 1>except for maybe a bonus the ten thousand dollars bonus

926
00:52:08.599 --> 00:52:11.320
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned in two thousand and five. And it's possible

927
00:52:11.360 --> 00:52:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I got some bonuses, but I think that ten thousand

928
00:52:13.800 --> 00:52:17.360
<v Speaker 1>was the biggest one I ever received. Stansbury. Have you

929
00:52:17.400 --> 00:52:21.280
<v Speaker 1>ever received any money from his estate after his death? Graff?

930
00:52:21.320 --> 00:52:24.119
<v Speaker 1>From his estate after his death, Yes, When I retained

931
00:52:24.159 --> 00:52:26.440
<v Speaker 1>my attorneys, he had set up some sort of fund

932
00:52:26.599 --> 00:52:29.360
<v Speaker 1>to pay my attorney's bills. The minute he died that

933
00:52:29.440 --> 00:52:33.440
<v Speaker 1>seams to exist anymore. I don't recall how Stansbury cuts

934
00:52:33.440 --> 00:52:37.400
<v Speaker 1>her off. How much money did you receive from the estate, Graf? Yeah,

935
00:52:37.400 --> 00:52:40.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't recall. My attorneys would submit the invoices to

936
00:52:40.119 --> 00:52:43.519
<v Speaker 1>the estate. Stansbury. Did you receive any other money aside

937
00:52:43.519 --> 00:52:48.599
<v Speaker 1>from attorney fees from the estate, Graff? Recently, miss Woodcomb

938
00:52:48.840 --> 00:52:52.440
<v Speaker 1>she set aside from attorney fees, Graff, aside from attorney fees,

939
00:52:52.639 --> 00:52:55.400
<v Speaker 1>would com I think so, Stansbury. I would like to

940
00:52:55.440 --> 00:52:58.079
<v Speaker 1>hear the rest of your answer, go ahead, Graff, Yeah,

941
00:52:58.119 --> 00:53:02.000
<v Speaker 1>aside from attorney fees, no, Stansbury, okay. And then I

942
00:53:02.039 --> 00:53:05.079
<v Speaker 1>have one final question, which is you are named as

943
00:53:05.119 --> 00:53:07.880
<v Speaker 1>a co conspirator in the DOJ's investigation of the case.

944
00:53:08.599 --> 00:53:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Beyond the original non prosecution agreement. Your name appears multiple

945
00:53:12.440 --> 00:53:17.480
<v Speaker 1>times from twenty nineteen through Maxwell's prosecution. Did you ever

946
00:53:17.519 --> 00:53:20.559
<v Speaker 1>receive any sort of plea agreement? Were you investigated by

947
00:53:20.559 --> 00:53:25.880
<v Speaker 1>the DOJ? What's the status of the DOJ's investigation into you, Graff,

948
00:53:25.960 --> 00:53:28.679
<v Speaker 1>there's no plea deal. I did sit with them voluntarily

949
00:53:29.079 --> 00:53:31.679
<v Speaker 1>and answered all their questions, and they deem me not

950
00:53:31.719 --> 00:53:35.320
<v Speaker 1>guilty of being a co conspirator. Stansbury was that put

951
00:53:35.320 --> 00:53:37.800
<v Speaker 1>in writing somewhere Groff, I believe we asked them to

952
00:53:37.840 --> 00:53:41.679
<v Speaker 1>do that, but they said that's not something they do. Stansbury. Well,

953
00:53:41.880 --> 00:53:44.599
<v Speaker 1>if we're able to provide any correspondence to the committee,

954
00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:49.000
<v Speaker 1>that would be very helpful. Thank you appreciated. All Right, folks,

955
00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:50.760
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna wrap up right here, and in the next

956
00:53:50.800 --> 00:53:52.920
<v Speaker 1>episode dealing with the topic, we're gonna pick up where

957
00:53:52.920 --> 00:53:55.960
<v Speaker 1>we left off. All the information that goes with this

958
00:53:56.039 --> 00:53:58.880
<v Speaker 1>episode can be found in the description box.
