Summary

This document is a page from a court transcript dated July 24, 2019, during a bail hearing for Jeffrey Epstein. Prosecutor Rossmiller argues against bail, citing Epstein's extensive foreign connections and the discovery of an expired 1980s passport issued by a foreign country with a residence listed as Saudi Arabia. The passport contained Epstein's photo but a different name, which the prosecution uses to argue flight risk.
