Q So Dr. Nikolic and Mr. Epstein are communicating about something that they might send to you, and it sounds like they didn't. Is that right? A I never received anything like that. Q In the second email, so the middle email that Dr. Nikolic writes back to Mr. Epstein at 12:12 on June 16th, 2013, Dr. Nikolic seems to say, "this is great. My only worry is whether I should send him now or tell him when I see him on Monday. He is still trying to make it work with Melinda. He's having next round of negotiation with her next weekend. If all fails, then it is a negotiation for a next steps. If I send it right now, it reads that I accepted, it is all over. Finally, I can't put something such as divorce in an email. If she reads, she will go extra steps to be as nasty as possible. Also, I think that my chances of convincing him to talk to you are higher if I do it in person and not over the email. So how about hold this -- so how about you hold this for 8 days? Thank you, B." So sounds like Mr. Nikolic agrees with the perspective denoted in Mr. Epstein's draft and that he would be more interested, though, in having the conversation with you face-to-face. Did he have any sort of conversation with you face-to-face during this time like this? A But I've never seen this email so, I mean, you can ask me questions, but I add no value. Q So I guess I'll be more specific. The -- I understand you've testified you've not seen the email. Did Dr. Nikolic approach you and communicate these same feelings in person, so not over email? A No. Q In the draft email -- again, understanding that you have not seen it until much later -- Dr. Nikolic is implying that he has entrusted Jeffrey Epstein with sensitive information seemingly with relation to you and that he has given Epstein power of attorney to act on his behalf, that he will be his financial and legal representative. So were you aware that Jeffrey Epstein was going to be acting as a legal or financial representative for Dr. Nikolic?
