because I wasn't either a party or didn't listen and
I know -- I would characterize, originally anyway,
Mr. Epstein's interest in him because obviously he's
the former president.
But I never saw him -- other than that, I
saw them be friendly on the plane, but I never -- I
don't believe -- I don't recollect, anyway, ever
seeing them in any other context.
I don't remember him at his house in New
York. Like I said, I don't believe he ever went to
that island. I think that was just a -- that was a
story that ili did.
TODD BLANCHE: Do you know one way or the
other, whether their relationship continued without
you, like, when you kind of moved on past
Mr. Epstein?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: I don't believe so.
TODD BLANCHE: Why do you say that you
don't believe so?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Because I don't think
they had a relationship even when I was there. I was
-- | -- President Clinton liked me, and we got along
terribly well. But I never saw that warmth or that
-- that warmth or however you want to characterize
it, with Mr. Epstein and cert- -- so I didn't see
Page 322
that. I didn't see any interest in -- I didn't see
President Clinton being interested in Epstein. He
was just arich guy with a plane.
TODD BLANCHE: When -- when the Southern
District of New York case kind of became public and
there was a search warrant of Mr. Epstein's house,
there was like a -- there was some sort of painting
or picture with Mr. Clinton in like a blue dress that
had been signed.
Did you know -- do you know where he got
that picture or that painting?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: The first I saw it was
in the press.
TODD BLANCHE: So you never observed that
in his --
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: No.
TODD BLANCHE: -- brownstone?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: No. I thought it was
hideous.
TODD BLANCHE: What's that again?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: I thought it was
hideous.
TODD BLANCHE: And -- but you had never --
so you don't know, sitting here today, where
Mr. Epstein got it?

GHISLAINE MAXWELL: No.
TODD BLANCHE: The circumstances in which
he got it?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: No.
TODD BLANCHE: Do you know of any other
gifts or paraphernalia or art or pictures that former
President Clinton gave to Mr. Epstein?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: No. I mean, did he
maybe get him a gift? I don't know. I have no
knowledge of that.
TODD BLANCHE: And then going back to the
topic we were talking about before our last break.
Well, when you said something yesterday at
the very beginning of our conversation that when you
first met Mr. Epstein and you ultimately have sex
with him, that he had -- I'll use the word erectile
dysfunction, but he had issues having sex?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: That's what he told
me.
TODD BLANCHE: That's what he told you?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Yes.
TODD BLANCHE: Okay. And then over the
years, you said sometime in the ‘90s he started
taking testosterone?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Yes. But I don't know
Page 324
if 1t was in the '90s. I don't remember when he
started, but 1t wasn't -- he had patches --
testosterone patches --
TODD BLANCHE: Okay.
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: -- dermal.
TODD BLANCHE: Like on his arm?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Yes.
TODD BLANCHE: Okay.
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: And then he was
ridiculous, because you shouldn't take more than one.
But sometimes he had, like -- I'm like, what are you
doing? It's like unhealthy.
TODD BLANCHE: Okay. From what you
observed or saw or heard, did he continue to have
challenges sexually over the years or do you think
that whatever he told you -- whatever issue he told
you he had was fixed?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: I think it was a lie.
TODD BLANCHE: You think he was lying
about what?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: About his erectile
dysfunction.
TODD BLANCHE: Oh, you mean you never --
you don't think he ever had any issues? You think he
just told you that?
