00:04Good afternoon. The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to
00:13end today. The individuals lying about me are devoid of ethical standards, humility
00:23and respect. I do not object to their ignorance but rather I reject their
00:32mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation. I've never been friends with
00:40Epstein. Donald and I were invited to the same parties as Epstein from time to
00:48time since overlapping in social circles is common in New York City and Palm Beach.
00:59To be clear, I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice Maxwell. My
01:09email reply to Maxwell cannot be catered as anything more than casual
01:17correspondence. My polite reply to her email doesn't amount to anything more than a
01:26tribal note.
