DOJ-OGR-00030305.tif

This document is a partial transcript from a court proceeding on September 17, 2009, detailing the cancellation of a deposition involving Jeffrey Epstein.

Defense counsel, Robert Critton, argued that Epstein was instructed to leave the building and planned to appear via Skype, and that the encounter would not have happened if the plaintiff and her counsel had arrived on time.
