GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Not deliberately.
TODD BLANCHE: Okay. And did you know --
we asked this we talked about this a little bit
earlier, but just to put a finer point on it. Did
you ever know that Mr. -- did you ever -- were you
ever told -- did you ever think that Mr. Epstein was
getting any money from any intelligence agency,
including Mossad?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Well, I don't believe
so, but I wouldn't know. I mean, I would be very
surprised if he did. I don't think so. No.

anything above that. And like I said, he did the
testosterone, which made him mean.

GHISLAINE MAXWELL: I've never heard of

GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Okay. No.
TODD BLANCHE: Do you know whether
well, have you ever met the former Attorney General
of the United States Bill Barr?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: No.
TODD BLANCHE: Do you remember whether
Mr. Epstein knew him or whether his name ever came up
in conversations you had with Mr. Epstein?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: I don't recall any.
TODD BLANCHE: Okay. Did you have a
relationship or know -- I'm using "relationship," but
I appreciate you don't like that word.
Do you have -- did you know Mr. Epstein's
brother Mark Epstein?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Yes.
TODD BLANCHE: How did you know him?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Through Jeffrey.
TODD BLANCHE: How would you describe your
relationship; close, friendly?
Page 193
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: My personal?
TODD BLANCHE: Yes.
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Not that close, but
friendly enough. I mean, you know.
TODD BLANCHE: How was Jeffrey Epstein's
relationship with his brother Mark from what you
observed?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: I mean, they were
brotherly, but I think that -- I don't know. I don't
know. They had periods when they were closer and
then when they weren't. I think sometimes Epstein
found his brother irritating.
TODD BLANCHE: And I think I know the
answers, given what you just said about Bill Barr,
but did you ever hear any from Mr. Epstein or
anybody else -- that Bill Barr had any role in
Mr. Epstein getting a good plea deal in Florida, or
any role in that process with Mr. Acosta?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: I never heard that.
TODD BLANCHE: I think you said this in an
interview, but if I'm wrong forgive me. Do you have
a view of Mr. Epstein of whether he committed suicide
or whether something else happened?
DAVID MARKUS: Can we take a break?
