The deposition also provided a glimpse into how Mr. Epstein financially supported Ms. Maxwell over the years. She also said Mr. Epstein donated $50,000 to TerraMar, an ocean conservation charity she founded. Ms. Maxwell further noted that Mr. Epstein liked to have at least one massage a day and that more than one masseuse would be on call to perform them. Ms. Giuffre has accused Ms. Maxwell in a defamation lawsuit of recruiting her as a teenager to become a victim in Mr. Epstein’s sex-trafficking scheme. Mr. Trump’s name does not appear in Ms. Maxwell’s deposition, and Ms. Giuffre, in her own sworn testimony, has not accused Mr. Trump of any wrongdoing.
