OK - 1st witness in US v. #GhislaineMaxwell, called by AUSA Maurene Comey. Inner City Press has been reporting innercitypress.com/sdnytrial29bma… and will live tweet, thread below
Witness is Lawrence Paul Visoski. Nickname: Larry.
"I am an airplane pilot."
AUSA Maurene Comey: Who did you work for?
Visoski: Mister Jeffrey Epstein.
AUSA Maurene Comey: Where did Epstein hire you?
Visoski: Columbus, Ohio. David Rogers was hired too.
AUSA Maurene Comey: How long did Mister Rogers work for Mister Epstein?
Visoski: Same duration as myself.
AUSA Maurene Comey: What was Ms Maxwell's hairstyle in those days?
Visoski: She changed it a lot, "like most women."
[Some groans]
AUSA Maurene Comey: Can you identify Ms. Maxwell, if you see her in the courtroom, by a piece of clothing?
Visoski: She's in the corner, in the white sweater and the dark hair.
AUSA Comey: Let the record reflect, the witness has identified the defendant.
Visoski: The only time Epstein didn't take a private jet was when the Concorde was flying. Ms. Maxwell used airlines sometimes. In the late 1990s she had an option on a quarter share of a private jet.
Visoski: For a domestic flight, I didn't need to know who was flying in my plane.
AUSA Maurene Comey: So you didn't get all the names?
Visoski: I did not. There was NYC, Palm Beach, Santa Fe- actually Stanley NM - an apartment in Paris & an island in St. Thomas
AUSA Maurene Comey: Can you describe the interior of Mr. Epstein's Palm Beach residence?
Visoski: A master bedroom, three guest bedrooms. There's a Florida room, which I guess in New York you'd call a family room... a butler's pantry, a 3 car garage
AUSA Maurene Comey: Who drove Mr. Epstein up to this plane?
Visoski: Juan comes to mind. But others too.
AUSA Comey: And in NY?
Visoski: Manhattan. 9 East 71st Street.
AUSA Maurene Comey: And what did you do at 9 East 71st Street?
Visoski: Pick up luggage - and install video equipment.
AUSA Maurene Comey: Which airport did you use?
Visoski: Teterboro. Then Newark or JFK with the larger plane.
Judge Nathan: It's 4:58, we're going to break for the day.
Clerk Ms. Williams: All rise!
Adjourned. Soon 3d podcast and stories on InnerCityPress.com and patreon.com/MatthewRussell…

Now in WeWork fraud trial of US v. Larmore, closing arguments. Judge notes defendant's significant other in courtroom, says no kisses can be blown. Calls in jury. Inner City Press covered trial matthewrussellleeicp.substack.com/p/with-larmore… and will live tweet, thread below x.com/innercitypress…
Assistant US Attorney: Defense told you that the defendant believed that if he sold enough options he could make a tender offer for WeWork. Essentially, he had to manipulate the stock price with his press release in order to get his option into the money
AUSA: Mr. Seigel told the defendant, "I don't think you can do that." The plan was market manipulation. That was the crime. How else can he be guilty? If he lied about a material fact. He lied when he said he was going to line up financing.
