MR. PIKE: Yeah, let me — MR. HOROWITZ: No, no, no. MR. PIKE: I know. I understand. MR. HOROWITZ: No, no -- MR. PIKE: Listen, we have got a — we've got a long day ahead of us, so let's move along. MR. HOROWITZ: This is -- this is in the interest of efficiency. MR. PIKE: Okay. Let's go. MR. HOROWITZ: Per witness, one attorney, okay? I don't care who It is, but it can only be one of you. MR. GOLDBERGER: Okay. So here's the deal: I represent Mr. Epstein on his criminal cases If I feel it is important for me to interject on issues relevant to his criminal case, I'll do so. Mr. Pike has taken the — the lead role in representing Mr. Epstein civilly. MR. HOROWITZ: Well — MR. GOLDBERGER: if there are issues relevant to the criminal case, I'm going interject. As far as your concern about what just occurred Page 27 now, I'm just hying to help you along. MR. HOROWITZ: I appreciate that. MR. GOLDBERGER: That's the only reason I did it. MR. HOROWITZ: MI right. I'm going to put this on the record again. The local rules provide that in a deposition in a civil case one witness, one attorney who can object, period. It doesn't say if there is also a criminal case, two attorneys can speak. So if Mr. Epstein wanted to hire an attorney familiar with his criminal case for his civil case, he could have done so. If he didn't, that was at his own peril. So I'm just going to ask you to refrain, and I'm just going to put you on notice that if you -- if you interject an objection — MR. GOLDBERGER: Uh-hub. MR. HOROWITZ: — I'll seek the relief from the Court, and that's -- that's it, but -- MR. GOLDBERGER: That's fine. And Pm going to continue to do so, and if you want to adjourn at this point, we can do that. But if I think ifs an issue relevant to my representation of him on a pending criminal case, I'm going to do so, okay? MR.

PIKE: And — and let me — let me put something on the record, since you chose to do so. One, this is — this proceeding has a quasi- criminal component to it, and your questions today, Mr. Horowitz, are interjected in a manner in an attempt to cause Mr. Epstein to waive his Fifth Amendment Right, along with his Sixth and his Fourteenth which are incorporated therein. So the fact that Mr. Goldberger is here making sure that his client and my mutual client maintain and preserve those privileges that are afforded under the United States Constitution, he will continue to do that today, okay? Now, we're here to answer your questions. We're here to move forward with the depo. We'd like to do that.

Q Known, known. A I was told that in fact some of your — the cases that were filed against me by your firm, a firm whose partner was disbarred for his conduct, and in fact Mr. Edwards sitting there with his firm who is called by the U.S. Attorney to be the largest fraud in South Florida's history — I believe these girls have always been -- and I believe the ladies and gentlemen of the jury will eventually be aware that these girls have Page 33 filed the claim many years after they alleged and even associated with firms whose partners have been disbarred and is part one of his partners is currently in jail, yes. Q Okay. Are you suggesting that a partner of mine was disbarred? Is that your testimony? MR. PIKE: Form. THE WITNESS: Yes, that's — I believe that's my understanding. BY MR. HOROWITZ: Q Okay.
