00:00My colleagues have alerted me to a couple questions I think I may have forgotten to ask you.

00:05One is...

00:08Sorry, I'm just going through my notes.

00:14Well, we talked a few minutes ago about this birthday book that they've been pressed about.

00:19I understand you don't remember anything with President Trump, or a lot about the book anyway.

00:23Do you remember asking President Trump to submit a letter for that?

00:30I do not.

00:34And do you remember...

00:36Would you have been the one to do that, or would somebody else have done that?

00:45I did ask some people. I don't remember Mr. Trump. I don't remember who I did ask,

00:49but Epstein also asked people himself directly.

00:51Okay.

00:53So it could have happened that way, if it happened at all.

01:00I'm trying to find all that.

01:01Where is it?

01:09You mentioned Ehud Barak.

01:11Yes.

01:12What was his involvement?

01:13This would have been in the later 2000s, so I do not know how they met,

01:25but I do know that they...

01:28I don't know if friendly would be the right word.

01:30I don't know that, but I know that they saw each other.

01:33And only because my father, you know, anything that touches Israel or the state of Israel,

01:44I'm always interested in because my father loved Israel.

01:48And so I pay attention to it, and we have ties to, you know, to Israel.

01:54When you said it was later, though...

01:55Ties meaning friends and family, relations.

01:58I don't know if he was with Epstein or I don't know if he was with Epstein or...

02:06I don't.

02:07Do you know...

02:10Were you ever with them together?

02:12I think I met...

02:14I have a memory of meeting Ehud, but I don't know if he was with Epstein or...

02:19I don't remember.

02:20I just know that I did see him, and I'm trying, struggling to remember the context around it.

02:26But if I...

02:27I'm sure it happened, but it must have been very brief,

02:30because I don't have any serious memory of it.

02:33Any, like, deep memory of it.

02:35And maybe this is obvious.

02:37And maybe it comes also because I've read it in the press.

02:39That may be something that brought it to my memory.

02:41So that's also...

02:42I mean, I'm also...

02:43I think the press has been very contaminating.

02:45So I just...

02:46It's hard sometimes to separate those stories from your memory.

02:51Sometimes.
