Q. Mr. Dershowitz --
MR. SCOTT: You're cutting the witness off.
MR. SCAROLA: He's not answering my question, Tom.
MR. SCOTT: Well --
MR. SCAROLA: I want to know whether the last name is spelled the same or it isn’t spelled the same on the flight tog marked as an exhibit and on the photographs. That's a very direct question. It calls for a very direct yes or no response.
And this witness has demonstrated a clear refusal to respond directly to direct questions, which will result, when we resume this deposition, in our requesting that the Court appoint a special master so that this deposition doesn't take two weeks to complete.
MR. SCOTT: You know, Mr. Scarola, that's a nice speech and I appreciate it.
MR. SCAROLA: Thank you.
MR. SCOTT: I don't agree with your

Q. Is the last name on the photograph spelled exactly the same way as the last name on the flight log?
A. If you're talking about a flight log that 1 was not on that flight, the answer is yes.
Q. Allright. Thank you very nwch, sir.
Now, that flight log also shows you flying repeatedly in the company of a woman named Tatiana, correct?
A. I've only seen one reference to Tatiana on November 17. If you want to show me any other references, I'd be happy to look at them.
Q. Allright, sir. Thank you.

There you go, young lady, don't lose those, don't get them wet. And we'll proceed.
characterization. And if you recall, months
ago I suggested a special master for this
deposition, for your clients’ depositions and
for Virginia Roberts’ and your response to me
was: I'll consider it, I won't pay for it. If
your client wants to pay for it -- so basically
you blew me off.
So, I appreciate you finally come around. And your clients.
MR. SCAROLA: Your client's misconduct has clearly convinced me, having now considered it, that it is absolutely necessary.
MR. SCOTT: Okay. Now --

MR. SCOTT: Now that all the lawyers'

BY MR. SCAROLA:
Q. Did you state during the same interview, the CNN Don Lemon interview: "She has said that Bill Clinton was with her at an orgy on Jeffrey's island"?
A. I did state that, yes.
Q. Was that statement intended as fact, opinion, or was it intended as rhetorical hyperbole?
MR. SCOTT: Do you understand the question? THE WITNESS: Yes, I do.
A. It was a statement based on what I

Various newspapers and blogs had placed Bill Clinton on, quote, "orgy island" on -- in the presence of Jeffrey Epstein when there were orgies. And at the time | made that statement, | hada belief that she had accused Bill Clinton of participating or being -- as being a part of or an observer or -- or a Witness or a participant in orgies on what was called Jeffrey Epstein's orgy island. That was my state of belief, honest belief at the time I made that statement.
