Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1330-4 Filed 01/05/24 Page 14 of 27 Ex. R at 39-40 (Deposition Transcript of Sarah Kellen, March 24, 2010). 30. Of course, Mr. Cassell did not draw an “adverse inference” against President Clinton, nor did he accuse the former president of abusing Ms. Giuffre. It would have been unreasonable to have done so.” 31. As Mr. Cassell well knows, witnesses risk waving their Fifth Amendment privilege by invoking it only selectively. This is why defense attorneys generally advise their clients to claim the Fifth as to all questions. Therefore, the associates’ invocation of their Fifth Amendment privilege when questioned about me cannot substantiate any claim that I abused Ms. Giuffre. Had these individuals been asked if they knew whether I had assassinated John F. Kennedy, they would have taken the Fifth. It is irresponsible for Mr. Cassell, who should know better given his experience as a federal judge, to make that absurd claim. 32. In truth, I sincerely wish that Mr. Epstein’s associates had not invoked the Fifth Amendment with regard questions about me. Had they testified fully and truthfully, I would have been shown to have done nothing wrong. The Testimony of Juan Alessi and Alfredo Rodriguez 33, In his Declaration, and in the CVRA filings in December 2014 and January 2015, Mr. Cassell attempts to “place” me at Mr. Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion in the time period during which Ms. Giuffre alleges she was there, to connect me to “sex toys” alleged > Likewise, Ms. Kellen, Ms. Mucinska, and Ms. Marcinkova asserted their Fifth Amendment privilege when questioned about a number of celebrities, including David Copperfield, Kevin Spacey, and Les Wexner, among others. One of the prosecuting attorneys, frustrated by this tactic observed: I think it’s absolutely absurd that she’s objecting to some for these questions or taking the Fifth to some of these questions. | mean, I want to Sid [sic] to ask her now if the sky is blue. I think she’s going to take the Fifth to that question, as well. Ex. Rat 12. 14
