This document is a legal filing in a court case involving Bradley J.

AI-Generated Summary

This document is a legal filing in a court case involving Bradley J. Edwards and Paul G. Cassell as plaintiffs/counterclaim defendants against Alan M. Dershowitz as the defendant/counterclaim plaintiff. The case is from the Circuit Court of Broward County, Florida, with case number CACE 15-000072. The document discusses a deposition transcript of Virginia Roberts Giuffre that is currently under seal due to a confidentiality order in this action. Dershowitz seeks clarification that the Confidentiality Order does not prevent him or his counsel from submitting the transcript to investigative authorities for perjury investigations regarding Roberts's testimony. To the extent that the Confidentiality Order precludes such disclosure, Dershowitz requests relief to permit the requested disclosure in the public interest. The document also refers to statements made by Giuffre in an affidavit regarding her presence on Jeffrey Epstein's private island at the same time as former President Clinton. The affidavit was stricken from the record by a federal court, but Giuffre's counsel filed publicly a pleading contesting Dershowitz's assertion that her statements in the media regarding meeting former President Clinton were untrue. The document mentions that former FBI Director Louis Freeh has opined based on records requested under the Freedom of Information Act that the absence of such records "strongly establishes" that former President Clinton was not present on Little St. James Island during the period in question, which would mean Roberts's statements were false. Dershowitz intends to bring this public information to the attention of appropriate authorities. The document also mentions that Dershowitz believes that Giuffre gave false testimony at her deposition and intends to provide this information to investigative authorities. However, due to concerns about violating the confidentiality order, Dershowitz requests relief from that order to disclose non-public information even to responsible public officials.
