Opening - Ms. Sternheim
1 MS. STERNHEIM: Now, you heard about the private jets.
2 Enviable as they are, in many ways they served like a Hampton
3 Jitney in the air. They were used as commuter jets for Epstein
4 to travel with family and friends, guy friends, past, present,
5 and future girlfriends, and an array of other very, very
6 interesting people, academics, politicians, scientists,
7 musicians, celebrities, even a former astronaut who became a
8 senator. And there were families on the flights and children
9 on the flights, high-style commuting. But it was a way of

11 along for the ride at times, for them to go to their own homes
12 or to other destinations that were on the way.
13 You'll also hear that Epstein worked out of his office
14 in New York, as well as out of his homes; and that Ghislaine
15 had worked out of his New York office, but then out of her own
16 office in her own residence. There came a time where the
17 companionship part of their relationship ended, but she still

24 What you are going to see and what you are going to
25 hear basically center around four women. They are going to
