Summary
This document is a transcript of a legal rebuttal given by Ms. Comey in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell. Comey argues that the four witnesses who testified against Maxwell were motivated by a desire for justice, not financial gain. She supports this by stating they had already received 'million-dollar payouts' and would not have risked perjury by lying in a federal trial if money was their only goal.
