- The questioning begins with noting a calendar or schedule, then moves to record-keeping instructions: "Turn off the video record at 01:05PM."
- Mister Epstein is asked about sexual attraction to underage minor females. The question is objected to as harassing and argumentative.
- Epstein invokes his rights: he states he must invoke his fifth, sixth, and fourteenth amendment rights to not answer questions today or any questions relevant to this lawsuit.
- The questions focus on the names of any underage minors who were the subject of criminal charges to which Epstein pled guilty. Epstein responds, "I don't know."
- The examiner asks what the charges were about and what the underlying allegations were. Epstein states the charge as "Solicitation of prostitution," clarifying it was not underage prostitution but prostitution.
- The examiner asks if the victims or prostitutes were minors. Epstein repeats, "I plead guilty to solicitation of prostitution."
- The examiner presses for details of the cases—what happened, what the underlying facts were, how Epstein engaged with the individuals. Epstein repeats that he cannot tell more than that and ultimately says, "I plead guilty to the solicitation of prostitution. Not underage prostitution, but prostitution."
- The examiner asks to clarify whether the three females who were the subject of the guilty pleas in state court were procured by Epstein by having underage minor females locate other underage minor females and bring them to Epstein’s house. Objections are raised for argumentative, harassing, and assuming facts not in evidence; the examiner moves to strike.
- The examiner asks whether all people with whom Epstein engaged in sexual activity were underage and brought by other underage girls. Objections persist; Epstein states he does not understand the question.
- The examiner repeats a question about whether Epstein used underage minor females to bring other underage minor females to his house for sex; the exchange indicates the question had been asked and answered earlier.
- Epstein again states, due to his counsel, that he must assert his sixth, fourteenth, and fifth amendment rights and cannot answer that question at the moment.
- In closing, Epstein cites that his firm, Edwards and Jaffee, has been described by the US attorney as perpetrating one of the largest frauds in South Florida’s history, crafting malicious cases of a sexual nature to fleece people using bogus schemes and investment schemes. He reiterates his attorneys advised he must assert his constitutional rights, and therefore he cannot answer at this time.
