Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript (dated August 10, 2022) featuring the defense summation by Ms. Menninger in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial. Menninger argues that the government failed to record interviews with accusers, preventing the defense from knowing if witnesses were coached. She also attacks witness credibility by highlighting inconsistencies between their testimony and flight logs, and suggesting they added Maxwell to their allegations only after hiring personal injury lawyers.

1 maybe you met Ghislaine Maxwell there, too?
2 Every last one of the government's interviews with
3 these accusers — and there were dozens you heard — was not
4 recorded. There is no transcript. There is no record of the
5 exact questions that were asked or who asked what questions or
6 whether the lawyers suggested maybe their clients had something
7 more to add or another person to add, and that was by design so
8 none of us have a transcript of what actually took place in
9 these interviews with the FBI.
10 So it was left to us, the defense, to ask the hard
11 questions of these witnesses when they took the stand. And
12 it's not easy to ask someone, well, that's not exactly what you
13 said before, is it, when you told your story the first time,
14 you didn't mention Ghislaine, and you only added that later.
15 Why would you go decades without mentioning Ghislaine Maxwell
16 and suddenly when you have your personal injury lawyer, you add
17 her to the mix. The government never asked them, wait a
18 second, you said you were traveling with Epstein and Maxwell
19 when you were 14 and 15 years old. We have these flight logs,
20 there's not a single record of you traveling with them when you
21 were 14 or 15 years old. How could that be? Where did you
22 live when this was going on? There is two different addresses
23 and maybe we, the FBI, should go check out the house you were
24 living in. You said you were poor, is that true? Or, where
25 are your boots that you said they bought you? The tough
