Summary
This document is a page from the defense summation by Ms. Menninger in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE). The defense argues that the witnesses (specifically naming Jane and Annie) were motivated by financial gain, noting they hired lawyers like Robert Glassman and communicated with firms like Boies Schiller to file civil suits and claims with the Epstein Victims Compensation Fund. Menninger emphasizes that cooperation with the government was advised as a way to help their civil cases, resulting in them receiving millions of dollars.

1 know that the clients talked to each other. You heard that
2 from the witnesses. You know they emailed each other, you know
3 they met up after court appearances with Jeffrey Epstein, and
4 you heard, for example, about Jane's lawyer, Robert Glassman.
5 He told her, before this case was ever charged, that Glassman
6 stated before the government charged the case, Jane had
7 discussed whether to cooperate -- and reminding you, she didn't
8 want to cooperate before Epstein died, but he advised her that,
9 to cooperate, would quote, help her case, meaning her civil
10 case. She hired Robert Glassman two weeks before she first
11 talked to the FBI in September of 2019.
12 So these women, with their lawyers, walked into the
13 U.S. Attorney's Office, they filed their civil lawsuits at the
14 same time, and the lawyers, like Boies Schiller, helped set up
15 the Epstein Victims Compensation Fund. Annie told you that.
16 On that fund application, it asked you, are you cooperating
17 with a criminal investigation, have you filed a civil suit,
18 because if you are, we'll just assume you're a real victim,
19 even though we, the fund, aren't going to ask you any questions
20 or put your story to the test. And all of these ladies had
21 lawyers, went to the FBI, and filed a civil suit and filed a
22 civil claim with the fund and they each took home millions, and
23 now they are stuck with the stories that they told.
24 That's the money piece. Now for the manipulation, a
25 manipulation of the truth and the evidence.
