This document is a page from the defense summation by Ms. Menninger in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial (Case 1:20-cr-00330). The attorney attacks the credibility of a witness (likely 'Jane' or Carolyn) by highlighting inconsistencies in her statements to the FBI regarding her housing (Bear Lake Estates), her age when moving to Interlochen, and the timeline of meeting Donald Trump in a green car owned by Epstein. The defense argues the witness fabricated Ghislaine Maxwell's involvement at the suggestion of her personal injury lawyer, Mr. Glassman.
