| Moreover, the suit claimed, L.M. had "testified she never had |
| sex with Epstein; worked at numerous strip clubs; is an admitted |
| prostitute and call girl; has a history of illegal drug use (pot, |
| painkillers, Xanax, Ecstasy); and continually asserted the 5th |
| Amendment during her depositions in order to avoid answering |
| relevant but problem questions for her." (The suit made similar |
| claims about two other victims.) According to the suit, L.M. had |
| said only good things about Epstein when interviewed by the |
| FBI in 2007, while being represented by another lawyer. Her |
| story "changed dramatically," the suit claimed, once she was "in |
| the hands of EDWARDS and RRA." |
| In a motion for summary judgment filed by Bradley Edwards, |
| Edwards denied all of these allegations, calling Epstein's claims |
| frivolous for two separate reasons: On the one hand, Edwards |
| claimed, Epstein was seeking damages from Edwards while |
| asserting his own Fifth Amendment privilege to block the dis- |
| covery of relevant facts. (And, in fact, Epstein did plead the Fifth, |
| dozens of times, when deposed by the lawyers of his victims.) |
| On the other hand, Epstein's claims were "directly contradicted |
| by all of the record evidence. |
| "The truth in the record is entirely devoid of any evidence to |
| support Epstein's claims and is completely and consistently cor- |
| roborative of Edwards's sworn assertion of innocence," the motion |
