I used a technique which I employ when speaking to people on the phone, who might question whether I am truly an FBI agent.

I told Ms. about our investigation ofJeffrey Epstein, and the allegations that Epstein had sexually abused many underage young girls. I told her we believed she might be a victim of sexual abuse by Epstein. 7. Ms. answered basic questions, telling me that she did know Jeffrey Epstein.

She asked that I not bother her with this again. 8. I thanked Ms. and told her I appreciated her time. I provided my name and encouraged her to call the FBI Miami Field Office, if she had any questions or needed assistance. 2 Govt Exhibit D Case No. 08-80736-CIV-MARRA EFTA00592695 Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 304-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/30/2015 Page 3 of 3 The entire phone conversation only last several minutes. 9.
