Summary
This document details legal obstruction in the Epstein case, specifically concerning Jean Luc Brunel, who evaded a deposition by falsely claiming to be in France while actually staying at Epstein's West Palm Beach home. It further alleges that Epstein paid for the legal representation of a vast network of associates—including pilots, house staff, Ghislaine Maxwell, and his brother—making it nearly impossible for plaintiffs to secure independent testimony.

66. In view of this information suggesting Brunel could provide significant evidence
of Epstein’s trafficking in young girls for sexual abuse, Edwards had Brunel served in New York
for deposition. See Notice of Deposition of Jean Luc Brunel attached hereto as Exhibit “II.”
Before the deposition took place, Brunel’s attorney (Tama Kudman of West Palm Beach)
contacted Edwards to delay the deposition date. Eventually Kudman informed Edwards in
January 2009 that Brunel had left the country and was back in France with no plans to return.
This information was untrue; Brunel was actually staying with Epstein in West Palm Beach. See
Banasiak deposition, deposition attachment #16 at 154-160 and 172-175; see also pages from
Epstein's probation file evidencing Jean Luc Brunel (JLB) staying at his house during that
relevant period of time attached Exhibit “JJ”. As a result, Edwards filed a Motion for Contempt,
attached hereto as Exhibit “KK” (Because Epstein settled this case, the motion was never ruled
upon.)
