I went back a few times. He gave me lessons in massage therapy. Like, \u201cMake sure that you\u2019re moving your thumbs in a circular fashion. Okay, now a little bit higher, now a little bit lower.\u201d He talked to me about ballet, art, theater. He knew the difference between ABT and New York City Ballet. He could talk about Peter Martins, Gelsey Kirkland, and dancers he said he knew personally. He spoke my language fluently, which was the point. The escalation was slow enough that I couldn\u2019t see it happening.<\/p>\n
Epstein hired Maria Farmer to procure art for him, and later, she says, she was placed at a desk at the front entrance of his home on East 71st Street in New York City, where she could see who was coming and going from the mansion.<\/em><\/p>\n Maria Farmer:<\/strong> During the day, he and Ghislaine started doing what they called \u201cmodeling auditions.\u201d It was with schoolkids. I said to Epstein and Ghislaine, \u201cThese can\u2019t be Victoria\u2019s Secret models. They don\u2019t have breasts. The Victoria\u2019s Secret models are buxom. And they have boobs for the bras, right?\u201d<\/p>\n These people were all flat-chested. They all looked so exceedingly young. Ghislaine chewed my head off. She said, \u201cModels start at 14 in this industry. Les Wexner has [the Limited] brands, Maria. It\u2019s many, many, many things. It\u2019s not just Victoria\u2019s Secret.\u201d And she started listing all the companies. [Some of the brands] had children\u2019s clothing. And I was like, Ah, okay. Well, that kind of makes sense.<\/p>\n The girls would come in the front door, sign in, sometimes with their parents. The moms would stay downstairs with me. The girls go up the stairs. One of the girls was crying when she came down. Her mom was right there with me. She was in a school uniform. I said to Ghislaine, \u201cWhy are you making these children cry?\u201d And she said, \u201cThey have to toughen up. You know, these girls have to if they want to really make it. Not everyone can be a model.\u201d And I thought, Whoa, she\u2019s 14.<\/p>\n Wexner told Congress he did not know Epstein was representing himself as a modeling scout and said he never took a hiring recommendation from Maxwell or Epstein.<\/em><\/p>\n Lara Blume McGee:<\/strong> He bragged about Donald Trump a lot. He said they were \u201cclose.\u201d \u201cI can call him right now,\u201d he\u2019d say. \u201cWe\u2019re really good friends.\u201d He had Trump\u2019s phone number, his office number, his secretary\u2019s number. He also talked a lot about \u201cBill.\u201d Bill Clinton. Maybe because I\u2019m also from Arkansas. He said, \u201cHe has a lot of women in Arkansas,\u201d and \u201cBill would like you.\u201d I answered, \u201cNo, he wouldn\u2019t. I am the exact same age as his daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n A representative for Clinton did not respond to a request for comment on this particular statement.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cThe President\u2019s Coming!\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n
