Summary
This document is a page from a rough draft transcript (likely a deposition) bearing a House Oversight bates stamp. An unidentified attorney testifies that, according to the Chief of Police, Alan Dershowitz repeatedly agreed to schedule interviews for his client, Jeffrey Epstein, with the Palm Beach Police Department but never followed through. The witness characterizes this pattern of offers and withdrawals as a 'deliberately calculated strategy' and a 'stall tactic' to impede the investigation.

1 there were multiple -- according to the Chief of Police,
2 there had been multiple, you know, requests to interview
3 Mr. Epstein and Mr. Dershowitz had repeatedly said, oh,
4 yeah, we will schedule that. And then it hadn't
5 happened.
6 Now, obviously, there could have been a
7 situation there where an emergency had come up for
8 Mr. Epstein and he wasn't able to make a schedule or
9 something like that. But what I saw was a pattern of
10 offers to meet and then withdrawals and that seems to me
11 to be a deliberately calculated strategy to sort of
12 stall the investigation to say, oh, we will get you
13 Epstein, oh, we can't meet now. Oh, we will get it
14 now -- and so forth.
15 And one of the things that I noted from all
16 that was that Mr. Dershowitz, as Mr. Epstein's attorney,
17 never ultimately produced Epstein for a meeting with the
18 Palm Beach Police Department, having made another
19 offers -- now, obviously, something could have happened
20 there. I mean, I don't -- I don't know what was the
21 communications and so forth, but as an attorney trying
22 to get information and unable to do that, I had to make
23 some reasonable inferences.
