Since we are no longer working for Jeffrey, I'm forwarding this Daily News request to you so you can handle it as you see fit. Many thanks, Howard From: Rush, George [mailto: Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2009 11:08 PM To: Howard Rubenstein Subject: Daily News story on Jeffrey Epstein Howard: We're working on a story for our Sunday column about Jeffrey Epstein. I thought I might send my questions to you tonight, so you'd have them first thing tomorrow. HOUSE OVERSIGHT 030999Would you like to comment on the following: 1. You've said that the women pressing suits against Mr. Epstein "have lied repeatedly, and in no way shape or form were they victims. They were at his place freely and voluntarily. And one of them showed Epstein a fake ID." What do you have to say now that Mr. Epstein has admitted in his federal plea bargain that he did conspire to entice minors to engage in prostitution? Accepting that these women came voluntarily, isn't Mr Epstein still guilty of statutory rape? 2. Brad Edwards, an attorney who represents three of the women, recently served a Subpoena to Testify at a Deposition on Epstein's former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell. The Subpoena asks that Maxwell produce "a list of all girls" that visited Jeffrey Epstein's homes in Palm Beach and Manhattan, or flew on his planes. Edwards said in an interview that Maxwell was "second-in-command of Epstein's criminal enterprise." He added, "She was on Epstein's plane, transporting girls for the purpose of having sex with other people. She kept a computer database of hundreds of girls and oversaw the schedule of girls who came to Epstein's homes." 3. A suit filed last May by "Jane Doe 102" against Epstein alleges that, after recruiting her as a 15- year-old girl to give Epstein massages, Maxwell and Epstein took part in "sexually assaulting, battering, exploiting, and abusing Plaintiff." 4. The same suit alleges that Epstein "lured" the girl "every day for next two weeks" to his house. The suit claims that she eventually became a "sex slave" to Epstein, traveling with him around the world. "In all of these locations, she was required to engage in sex acts with him and other women - including other minors." 5. Did Jane Doe 102 — who now lives in Australia — go on the 2002 trip where President Clinton flew on Mr. Epstein's Boeing 727? 6. "Most of these acts of abuse occurred during a time when defendant [Jane Doe 102] knew that the plaintiff was approximately 15, 16 and 17 years old and, after years of daily sexual exploitation continued into her adulthood ... until she fled at age 19," 7. When Maxwell and Epstein celebrated Jane Doe 102's 16th birthday with her, Epstein joked that he would have to "trade her in" because she was getting too old for him. 8. Not only was Jane Doe 102 required to satisfy Epstein's "every sexual whim," but she also was exploited by Epstein's adult male peers. They included "royalty, politicians, academicians, businessmen and others in various locations around the world." 9. The Palm Beach Post and lawyers representing Epstein's alleged victims have called his federal non-prosecution agreement a "secret," "backroom," "sweetheart" deal, noting that none of his alleged victims was consulted. Several critics have claimed Epstein "bought" the agreement, using politically-connected lawyers. Would he like to comment? HOUSE OVERSIGHT 03100010. Is Epstein cooperating with federal suit against Bear Steams hedge fund managers Ralph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin? Willhetestifyintheircases? 11. Mr Epstein was deposed on this week, on Thursday. Is it true that he answered almost every question by invoking his FifthAmendmentrights? 12. Defense attorney Brad Evans has filed a motion to freeze Mr Epstein's assets. Has Mr. Epstein moved his money from the US offshore or abroad, or does he intend to, in order to protect his assets from possible damage claims? 13. What did Mr. Epstein do during his work release program while serving time. Reports have said he engaged in "scientific research." If so, what was he researching? 14. Has Mr. Epstein returned to pursuing his investment business? Is Mr Epstein still on probation? 15. Is Mr. Epsteinpermittedto leave FloridaortheUnited States? Do authoritiesholdhis passport?
