last direct communication I had with him was in those couple of years where he stayed on the advisory committee, and no communication since then. Q We've already discussed Mr. Nikolic -- Dr. Nikolic, of course, introduced you to Mr. Epstein. So, in your words, can you characterize Dr. Nikolic's relationship with Mr. Epstein or at least your understanding of their relationship? A Well, during the time I knew Epstein, I thought it was a -- just he had met him before I had and that he was kind of organizing the visits that took place. In looking at the email documents that came out in January, to my surprise, I now see that he had quite an extensive relationship with Mr. Epstein. So I was not aware of that at all during the time that I met with Epstein 2011 to 2014. Q Are you aware that Dr. Nikolic was ultimately named in one of -- in Mr. Epstein's final will and testament? A I've seen that in the press. Q So you learned about that much later in the press? A I hope it's an accurate thing. It was a press report that mentioned that. Q But you have no firsthand knowledge of that? A None. Q Did that surprise you when you read it? A A lot. [Gates Majority Exhibit No. 1 was marked for identification.] BY MR. SPECTRE: Q I'd like to enter into the record majority exhibit 1, which is an email that Epstein sent to Dr. Nikolic on June 16th, 2013. The bates number on this document is EFTA00873874. And just for the record, all of the Bates numbers that begin with EFTA are documents that the Department of Justice released pursuant to the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
