Legal Proceedings

Did Epstein ever testify under oath in a legal proceeding?

Jeffrey Epstein gave a deposition in a civil lawsuit in 2010, but he invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in response to nearly every substantive question, including basic questions about his name and address. He never testified at a criminal trial. His 2010 deposition transcript, while largely consisting of refusals to answer, became part of the civil litigation record and was referenced in subsequent proceedings including the Maxwell trial.
