"We're going to the fact that this woman was married at the time, she left her husband to travel to spend time with Ghislaine and Jeffrey Epstein, and then, at some point, something happened to her on her way home."Source
"Your Honor, the defense is asking questions that are very suggestive of something, but I have not yet heard a proffer about that and it seems like where they're going with this is an issue that should have been raised as a 412 issue."Source
"Are you suggesting she had an affair?"Source
"No, she said she was associative as if she was using drugs. I'll move on."Source
