Carrol, representing the Daily News in order to avoid any court intervention. | explained. that we - needed this tape for several reasons, including those ‘cited by her in her pleading. The tape is detrimental to. Epstein’s personal complaint against [i and me; the- ‘tape is evidence of. perjury . . committed by Epstein;. the tape is the Best Evidence of his lack of remorse for his actions and. will be presented in the puni itive. damages phase of the civil trials against him; and, perhaps most important, the tape is the only way that the jury considering Jane Doe’s case will be able to hear Epstein’ 5 voice and , ‘own statements about his abuse of Jane Doe and other minor girls. Without the tape, the jury will not have the opportunity to hear Epstein give any substantive: information about Jane Doe’ $ complaint. indeed, they will not have the opportunity to‘even hear Epstein’s voice utter any, substantive words other than (in essence} “1 take the Fifth.” As part of our discussion, Ms. Carroll told me that it was a * “stupid move” for Mr. Rush to play the tape or disclose the tape. to other people as he likely waived any privi lege. and that, asa result of disclosing the tape, he was at risk of losing his Job.
