“In the event that they wish to sit down for a deposition and make clear the the character of the connection between Jeffrey Epstein, if the president and the primary woman wish to do this and the entire recognized associates round them on the time of no matter time that they met, I’m more than pleased to supply them the platform to have the ability to do it,” he mentioned.
