This document is a page from a court transcript filed on August 10, 2022, associated with Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN (the Ghislaine Maxwell trial). Attorneys Ms. Menninger and Mr. Rohrbach argue before the judge regarding the admissibility of a prior deposition excerpt from Mr. Epstein. The defense (Rohrbach) objects to the evidence based on Rule 804, arguing that the government's motive in the current criminal case (determining where Epstein personally lived) differs from the motive in the prior civil litigation (determining if he had moved).
