[10:05 a.m.] BY MR. EMMER: Q And Todd Blanche never approached you about any specific documents as it relates to privilege? A Probably. I don't recall specifically, but we probably talked about it. I talked to him every day about multiple issues around the country and the world. Q And I know you touched on this previously, but the Department of Justice, according to these letters, said that there were certain files that were withheld because they are not a part of the case file for Epstein or Maxwell and were completely unrelated to these cases. Is that right? A Yes. Q Can you give us an example of what that would -- what would've been captured by that? A I believe an example that Todd Blanche used was there was someone else in south Florida with the name of Epstein, an entire case that had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. That would be an example of it. Q And, for the record, recognizing that you had to conduct a search and it produced millions of documents, if those documents were determined to have nothing to do with the Epstein or Maxwell cases, why were they originally included in this search that the Department of Justice conducted? A We wanted to have radical transparency and find everything that was related to Jeffrey Epstein, and that's why the search was overbroad. Q Thank you. I want to talk about the redactions that were in the files. What was the Department of Justice's redaction process for documents released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act? A I believe that is listed in one of Todd Blanche's memos, and he was in charge of the process and the entire release of the Epstein files.
