And Mr. President, um, moving on to, uh, my next question. Um, submitted to the record, um, we have a painting, um, that seems to be of you, Mr. President, found in one of Jeffrey Epstein's residences wearing a, um, I would categorize it as a famous blue dress worn by, uh, White House, the White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Um, and I have this image here. This image is being passed around. If we need to go off the record while we do that, we can. >> I can take the I can take the picture. >> Um, so >> do you have a question? >> It will be marked as majority exhibit 15. Proceed. >> Thank you. Um, so Mr. Mr. President, um, we are looking at an image of a portrait um that is uh looks to be you, Mr. President, um, in this blue dress. Uh, can you describe this painting? And >> he doesn't need to describe the painting. You just gave him a picture. What's your question? >> My question is, are you familiar with this painting? Have you ever seen it in person? >> I've never seen it in person. >> Do you know why someone would paint this? >> Are you asking? >> Objection. That's calls for speculation. You can ask the artist. >> And if I had known Jeffrey Epstein had this painting, would have saved me this whole day. Did you ever introduce Epstein to Monica Lewinsky or any other young female White House staffers? I did not. >> Did Epstein ever request introductions to um young female intern staffers of you? Did he request you to introduce them? >> Um and one regarding this um exhibit uh exhibit 15, this portrait to the right of this image. Um there appears to be a plain letterhead document that is framed in a gold frame. Uh do are you familiar with >> So he's testified that he's not seen this picture. >> The the painting we asked. Yes. And now I'm asking about the image next to it. So >> are you are you asking whether or not he's familiar with what's in this small frame? >> I'm I'm the part that you have covered up. I'm asking if he's familiar with this letter head um letter that was >> letterhead that we can see. >> Is this part of the painting? >> No sir. This is next to the painting and it's framed on the wall in the home of Jeffrey Epstein. Um I I guess a a better way to ask other than the birthday note that was passed around here today for Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday, Mr. President, did you ever handw write Jeffrey Epstein any other notes? >> Well, I I wouldn't remember except that I've seen a picture recently of another note where I thank him for getting me away from the crowd on the airplane for a while so I could take a note nap. >> Yes m Okay, Mr. President, I just have two more questions for you and then I will let you go. And again, I'm so grateful for your time here today. Um, we also have um another exhibit um from uh the committee and it's page 49 I believe and the uh how do you want to classify this one? >> It will be marked as majority exhibit 16. Um in this this is um a portion of Virginia um Juay and um her testimony and in it she is referencing you Mr. President and um says he Mr. Clinton um told me long ago that everyone owes him favors. They are all in each other's pockets. She's asked um I'm sorry maybe that wasn't you that you was referencing Clinton. Um I'll start over. He told me long ago that everyone owes him favors. I believe that's referring to Mr. Epstein. They're all in each other's pockets. >> Sorry, could you So, what line are you starting at? >> Yes, ma'am. I am starting at um the first line and I do believe I incorrectly said that that she was referencing Mr. Clinton. Um so, to correct that, >> she's not representing President Clinton. She's referencing instead who? >> Um I believe this is Jeffrey Epste that she is referencing here. >> Thank you, Miss Bobo. >> Thank you. Um, and then she's asked, "Would you would you say you asked him why Bill Clinton here was here?" Um, and Virginia responds, "On the island." Uh, where uh where he was here on the island. Um, and she goes on to say, um, >> excuse me, can you clarify who JS is? >> Can we can we look and see who JS? >> It says V and then it says JS. So, is this >> I will get I will get you that name. But this is a conversation between two people or is this a transcript of a deposition? >> This is a transcript of a deposition. Yes. Thank you so much. >> It says telecon at the top. Doesn't appear to be a deposition. >> It says what we have this as. >> This is a work document. >> I'm not objecting. >> No, that's fine. And we could go off the record if you want. Um just to get this. >> I don't have this. >> So this is Go ahead. >> We'll go off the record. We can go back on the record. >> Thank you very much. And uh this is a long dialogue uh between Mr. Jack uh Scarola and Virginia. And I will summarize this. Um it is mentioned by uh Virginia um that everyone owes him um presumably Jeff Jeffrey Epstein here favors. Mr. President, were you ever um in the position to owe Jeffrey Epstein a favor? >> I didn't consider that. I thought we had an understanding about the airplanes that he would let me use the airplane to set up my aids programs around the world if I agreed to talk to him for an hour about economics and politics on every long leg. I kept my word and he seemed to honor his. >> Were there any um sensitive government topics ever discussed in those conversations? And also here um did the court reporter get his response? Thank you so much. >> Thank you. Sorry I I was trying to talk over you wrapping up here. Um Virginia Du Fray is also asked in this document. Um we're >> the same one you handed us. >> Yes ma'am. >> So we should be looking at it. >> Um this is 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 eight lines down. Um JS is speaking. Were sexual orgies a regular occurrence on the island at Jeffrey's house? Yes. My question, Mr. President, were you ever aware or engaged in any of these sexual orgies? >> Are these on the island where he's testified that he's not on the island? >> I was never on the island. >> Were you ever um on any island in uh in the Virgin Islands >> to travel for a trip with his wife, which is on the public record. I'm sorry. >> Jeffrey? >> No. >> You were never in the Virginia Islands. Virgin Islands with Jeffrey Epste. No. >> Okay. Thank you. Um,
