If you’re new to the files, depositions are some of the most revealing documents in the entire collection. Here are the ones worth starting with:
Virginia Giuffre’s Depositions (2015-2016)
The most detailed firsthand account of trafficking operations, naming specific individuals, locations, and timeframes. Multiple sessions spanning hundreds of pages. Search for “Giuffre deposition” on the site.
Ghislaine Maxwell’s Depositions (2016)
Repeatedly invokes the Fifth Amendment but the questions themselves reveal what investigators knew. The contrast between what she denied then and what the trial proved later is striking.
Jeffrey Epstein’s Depositions
Invoked the Fifth over 100 times in a single session. Again, the questions are often more informative than the answers.
Alfredo Rodriguez’s Testimony
Epstein’s former house manager who tried to sell the “black book” to the FBI. His testimony about daily operations at the Palm Beach mansion is detailed and specific.
Juan Alessi’s Depositions
Another former house manager with years of firsthand observations about visitors and activities at the properties.
