Note to File 2020.09.28 On September 25, 2020, I called John Reynolds, who represents Juan Alessi. I informed Mr. Reynolds that I had seen articles reporting that Mr. Alessi had made statements to a podcast, and I asked if Mr. Reynolds knew anything about that. Mr. Reynolds said he was not aware of any reporting about a cast, and that he did not know Mr. Alessi very well, as he mainly had contact with . Mr. Reynolds asked me to send him one of the articles so that he could ask Mr. Alessi about them, and I agreed. Later that same day, Mr. Reynolds called me back and told me he had spoken with Mr. Alessi. Mr. Reynolds said Mr. Alessi was adamant that he had not been interviewed by a podcast and that he had no intention of speaking with the press, but that he recalled I coming to his door with a reporter. Mr. Reynolds told me that his client may not have known he was being recorded. Mr. Reynolds told me that he had relayed the substance of the article to his client — namely, the report that his client had made certain statements about Ghislaine Maxwell — and that Mr. Alessi said the story about Ms. Maxwell in the article was true, but that he had never told that story to anyone. Mr. Reynolds told me he asked his client how it was possible that the article contained the story if he had not told anyone about it. and Mr. Alessi was not able to explain. 3504-037 Page I of I SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00003 1 17 EFTA00157612
