Cumberland Trust and EFTA01412456 Investment Company et al. LENGTH: 3166 words DATELINE: New York Nashville: Tennessee Court of Appeals has issued the following Opinion: IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF TENNESSEE AT KNOXVILLE https://www.lexisnexis.com/dd/delivery/PrntDoc.do?- jobHandle=1825:640721064&dnldFil... 4/30/2018 EFTA01412457 Page 4 of 32 November 19, 2015 Session ALEXIS BREANNA GLADDEN v. CUMBERLAND TRUST AND INVESTMENT COMPANY, ET AL. Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hamblen County No. 12-CV-119 Thomas J. Wright, Judge No. E2015-00941-COA-R9-CV-FILED-MARCH 24, 2016 We granted an interlocutory appeal pursuant to Tenn. R. App. P. 9 in this case to consider whether the signature of the trustee of the Alexis Breanna Gladden Irrevocable Trust ("the Trust") on an investment/- brokerage account agreement agreeing to arbitration binds the minor beneficiary of the Trust to conduct arbitration of unknown future disputes or claims. We find and hold that while the plain language of the trust agreement does allow the trustee to agree to arbitrate claims and disputes that have arisen, it does not allow the trustee to agree to arbitration of unknown future disputes or claims. Therefore, the signature of the trustee of the Trust on an investment/brokerage account agreement agreeing to arbitration does not bind the minor beneficiary to conduct arbitration of unknown future disputes or claims. Tenn. R. App. P. 9 Interlocutory Appeal by Permission; Judgment of the Circuit Court Reversed; Case Remanded D. MICHAEL SWINEY, CHIEF JUDGE, delivered the opinion of the court, in which CHARLES D. SUSANO, JR., and JOHN W. MCCLARTY, JJ., joined. F. Braxton Terry, Morristown, Tennessee and W. Lewis Jenkins, Jr., Dyersburg, Tennessee, for the appellant, Alexis Breanna Gladden b/n/f Wade Harvey, Jr. Mark D. Griffin and Will E. Routt, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellees, Wunderlich Securities, Inc. and Albert M. Alexander, Jr. 2 OPINION Background Alexis Breanna Gladden ("the Minor") is a minor who was catastrophically injured at a young age and suffered severe disabilities. The Trust was created for the benefit of the Minor in Hamblen County, Tennessee, and was approved by and subject to the order of the Circuit Court for Hamblen County ("the Trial Court"). As pertinent to this appeal, the trust agreement establishing the Trust by order of the Trial Court ("Trust Agreement") provides: Section 11.01 Introduction to Trustee's Powers The Trustee may exercise, without prior approval from any court, all powers conferred by this trust agreement and any other powers conferred by law, including, without limitation, those powers set forth under the common law or any fiduciary powers act or other laws of the State of Tennessee, except as otherwise specifically provided in this agreement. Each power conferred upon the Trustee by state or federal statutes shall be subject to any express limitations or contrary directions contained in this agreement. * * * Section 11.05 The Trustee's Administrative Powers In addition to the other powers granted the Trustee in other provisions of EFTA01412458 this agreement, the Trustee shall have the following administrative powers: * * * (e) Settlement Powers The Trustee may settle, by compromise, arbitration or otherwise any and all claims and demands in favor of or against, or in any way relating to, any trust created under this agreement upon such terms as the Trustee may determine. The Trustee may release or abandon any claims in favor of this trust. 3 Wade Harvey, Sr. ("Plaintiff") was appointed as the guardian of the Minor in June of 2011. In May of 2012, Plaintiff filed suit on behalf of the Minor against several defendantsl alleging, among other things, failure to properly manage the Trust funds, breach of fiduciary duty, and misappropriation of the Trust funds. https://www.lexisnexis.com/dd/delivery/PrntDoc.do?- jobHandle=1825:640721064&dnldFil... 4/30/2018 EFTA01412459 Page 5 of 32 Defendants Wunderlich Securities, Inc. ("Wunderlich") and Albert M. Alexander, Jr. ("Alexander") filed a motion to compel arbitration and stay the proceedings alleging, in part, that in connection with opening an account at Wunderlich in the name of the Trust, the trustee, the Minor, and Wunderlich had entered into a binding compulsory agreement to arbitrate all controversies.2 After a hearing on the motion to compel arbitration, the Trial Court entered its order on February 12, 2013 granting the motion to compel arbitration and stay the proceedings. Plaintiff then filed a motion seeking an interlocutory appeal pursuant to Tenn. R. App. P. 9 from the February 12, 2013 order compelling arbitration. The Minor died in July of 2013 and an Agreed Order was entered on September 18, 2013 substituting Plaintiff for the Minor in this suit. After a hearing on the motion for interlocutory appeal, the Trial Court entered its order on May 12, 2015 finding that an interlocutory appeal was justified because if Plaintiff were correct any arbitration decision could be invalid as the arbitrator would not have authority to hear the matter. An interlocutory appeal, therefore, would assist in potentially reducing needless litigation. The Trial Court granted Plaintiff leave to seek permission for an interlocutory appeal with this Court. This Court granted permission for an interlocutory appeal by order entered June 23, 2015 on the sole issue of whether the trustee's signature on an investment/brokerage account agreement agreeing to arbitration binds the Minor beneficiary to conduct arbitration of unknown future disputes or claims. Discussion Wunderlich and Alexander raise an issue regarding whether this Court has subject matter jurisdiction to hear this interlocutory appeal. Jurisdiction is a threshold issue as our Supreme Court explained in v. Hopkins, stating: 1 Plaintiff sued Cumberland Trust and Investment Company, Joi S. Chatman, Albert M. Alexander, Jr., Wells Fargo & Company, Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC as successor in interest to A.G. Edwards, Inc., d/b/a A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc., A.G. Edwards, Inc., A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc., and Wunderlich Securities, Inc. 2 Defendants Wells Fargo & Company, Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC as successors in interest to A.G. Edwards, Inc. d/b/a A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc., A.G. Edwards, Inc. and A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc (collectively "Wells Fargo") joined in the motion to compel arbitration. Plaintiff later took a voluntary non-suit without prejudice as to Wells Fargo. 4 Subject matter jurisdiction involves the court's lawful authority to adjudicate a controversy brought before it. Chapman v. DaVita, Inc., 380 S.W.3d 710, 712 (Tenn. 2012); Meighan v. U.S. Sprint Commc'ns Co., 924 S.W.2d 632, 639 (Tenn. 1996). Subject matter jurisdiction is conferred by statute or the Tennessee Constitution; the parties cannot confer it by appearance, plea, consent, silence, or waiver. In re Estate of Trigg, 368 S.W.3d 483, 489 (Tenn. 2012). Any order entered by a court lacking jurisdiction over the subject EFTA01412460 matter is void. Id. Therefore, subject matter jurisdiction is a threshold inquiry, which may be raised at any time in any court. Id. Johnson v. Hopkins, 432 S.W.3d 840, 843-44 (Tenn. 2013). Given all this, we will address this issue. Wunderlich and Alexander argue in their brief on appeal that subject matter jurisdiction in this case is governed by Tenn. Code Ann. ] 29-5-319, and because an order to compel arbitration does not fall within one of the enumerated categories in this statute, subject matter jurisdiction is lacking. Although Plaintiff did not have the right to an appeal pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. ] 29-5-319 in this case at this juncture, this fact did not preclude Plaintiff from filing an application seeking an interlocutory appeal by permission pursuant to Tenn. R. App. P. 9, which is exactly what Plaintiff did. In pertinent part, Rule 9 provides: Except as provided in Rule 10, an appeal by permission may be taken from an interlocutory order of a trial court from which an appeal lies to the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals or Court of Criminal Appeals only upon application and in the discretion of the trial and appellate court. Tenn. R. App. P. 9. Plaintiff filed a motion with the Trial Court seeking leave for an interlocutory appeal pursuant to Tenn. R. App. P. 9. The Trial Court considered Plaintiff's motion, exercised its discretion, and granted permission to file for an interlocutory appeal to this Court. This Court then considered Plaintiff's motion and in the exercise of our discretion granted the motion for interlocutory appeal. Wunderlich and Alexander are simply incorrect in their assertion that this Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction to hear this interlocutory appeal by permission pursuant to Tenn. R. App. P. 9. Wunderlich and Alexander attempt to raise other issues in this appeal including whether Plaintiff lacks standing and whether Plaintiff's claims fall within the scope of the 5 arbitration agreement. These issues were not certified in our order granting this interlocutory appeal. In addition, the issue of standing was not presented to the Trial Court. As the Trial Court did not have an opportunity to consider this issue, and as the record on appeal has not been developed with regard to this issue, we are unable to consider the issue of standing at this time. For all of these reasons we will not address the other issues that Wunderlich and Alexander attempt to raise. In Trigg v. Little Six Corp., a case involving a Rule 9 interlocutory appeal of a trial court's decision on a motion to compel arbitration, we explained the standard of review to be applied stating: Our review of a trial court's grant or denial of a motion to compel arbitration is governed by the same standards that apply to a bench https://www.lexisnexis.com/dd/delivery/PrntDoc.do?- jobHandle=1825:640721064&dnldFil... 4/30/2018 EFTA01412461 Page 6 of 32 trial. Mitchell v. Kindred Healthcare Operating, Inc., 349 S.W.3d 492, 496 (Tenn. Ct. App. 2008). As we observed in Rosenberg v. BlueCross BlueShield of Tenn., Inc., 219 S.W.3d 892, 903-04 (Tenn. Ct. App. 2006), [a]s a general rule, a court's enforcement of an arbitration provision is reviewed de novo. See Cooper v. MRM Inv. Co., 367 F.3d 493, 497 (6th Cir. 2004). A trial court's order on a motion to compel arbitration addresses itself primarily to the application of contract law. We review such an order with no presumption of correctness on appeal. See Pyburn v. Bill Heard Chevrolet, 63 S.W.3d 351, 356 (Tenn. Ct. App. 2001); see also Nelson v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 8 S.W.3d 625, 629 (Tenn. 1999). However, to the extent that findings of fact are necessary concerning the "cost-prohibitive" nature of the arbitration sought, these findings come to us with a presumption of correctness absent a preponderance of evidence to the contrary. Tenn. R. App. P. 13(d); T.R. Mills Contractors v. WRH Enterprises, LLC et al., 93 S.W.3d 861, 864 (Tenn. Ct. App. 2002). Trigg v. Little Six Corp. 457 S.W.3d 906, 911 (Tenn. Ct. App. 2014). We granted this Tenn. R. App. P. 9 interlocutory appeal on the sole issue of whether the signature of the trustee on an investment/brokerage account agreement agreeing to arbitration binds the Minor beneficiary of the Trust to conduct arbitration of unknown future disputes and claims. As this Court has explained: Trust instruments are interpreted similarly to contracts, deeds, or 6 wills. Marks v. Southern Trust Co., 203 Tenn. 200, 205, 310 S.W.2d 435, 437-38 (1958). Determining the settlor's intent is important and may be easily done by looking to the four corners of the trust instrument. Marks v. Southern Trust Co., 203 Tenn. at 205, 310 S.W.2d at 438. Unless the trust instrument is ambiguous or allegations of fraud, accident or mistake have been made, parol evidence or evidence of surrounding facts and circumstances that contradicts or varies the terms of a written instrument may not be considered. HMF Trust v. Bankers Trust Co., 827 S.W.2d 296, 299 (Tenn. Ct. App. 1991); Brown v. Brown, 45 Tenn. App. 78, 95, 320 S.W.2d 721, 728 (1959). In re: Estate of Marks, 187 S.W.3d 21, 28 (Tenn. Ct. App. 2005). With regard to interpretation of contracts, this Court has explained: In resolving a dispute concerning contract interpretation, our task is to ascertain the intention of the parties based upon the usual, natural, and ordinary meaning of the contract language. Planters Gin Co. v. Fed. Compress & Warehouse Co., Inc., 78 S.W.3d 885, 889-90 (Tenn. 2002)(citing Guiliano v. Cleo, Inc., 995 S.W.2d 88, 95 (Tenn. 1999)). A determination of the intention of the parties "is generally treated as a question of law because the words of the contract are definite and undisputed, and in deciding the legal effect of the words, there is no genuine factual issue left for a jury to decide." Planters Gin Co., 78 S.W.3d at 890 (citing 5 Joseph M. Perillo, Corbin on Contracts, ] 24.30 (rev. ed. 1998); Doe v. HCA Health Servs. of Tenn., Inc., 46 S.W.3d 191, 196 (Tenn. 2001)). The central EFTA01412462 tenet of contract construction is that the intent of the contracting parties at the time of executing the agreement should govern. Planters Gin Co., 78 S.W.3d at 890. The parties' intent is presumed to be that specifically expressed in the body of the contract. "In other words, the object to be attained in construing a contract is to ascertain the meaning and intent of the parties as expressed in the language used and to give effect to such intent if it does not conflict with any rule of law, good morals, or public policy." Id. (quoting 17 Am.Jur.2d, Contracts, ] 245). This Court's initial task in construing the Contract at issue is to determine whether the language of the contract is ambiguous. Planters Gin Co., 78 S.W.3d at 890. If the language is clear and unambiguous, the literal meaning of the language controls the outcome of the dispute. Id. A contract is ambiguous only when its meaning is uncertain and may fairly be understood in more than one way. Id. (emphasis added). If the contract is found to be ambiguous, we then apply established rules of construction to 7 determine the intent of the parties. Id. Only if ambiguity remains after applying the pertinent rules of construction does the legal meaning of the contract become a question of fact. Id. Kafozi v. Windward Cove, LLC, 184 S.W.3d 693, 698-99 (Tenn. Ct. App. 2005). When interpreting the Trust Agreement, we must take care not to render any of the language superfluous by our interpretation. As this Court explained in Associated Press v. WGNS Inc.: It is the universal rule that a contract must be viewed from beginning to end and all its terms must pass in review, for one clause may modify, limit or illuminate another. As is said in 6 R.C.L. page 838 under the title "Contracts", "Taking its words in their ordinary and usual meaning, no substantive clause must be allowed to perish by construction, unless insurmountable obstacles stand in the way of any other course. Seeming contradictions must be harmonized if that course is reasonably possible. Each of its provisions must be considered in connection with the others, and, if possible, effect must be given to all. A construction which entirely neutralizes one provision should not be adopted if the contract is susceptible of another which gives effect to all of its provisions. The courts will look to the entire instrument, and, if possible, give such construction that each clause shall have some effect, and perform some office." Associated Press v. WGNS Inc., 348 S.W.2d 507, 512 (Tenn. Ct. App. 1961) (citation omitted). https://www.lexisnexis.com/dd/delivery/PrntDoc.do?- jobHandle=1825:640721064&dnldFil... 4/30/2018 EFTA01412463 Page 7 of 32 The Trust Agreement provides in plain unambiguous language that the trustee has the right to "settle, by compromise, arbitration or otherwise any and all claims and demands . . .," and "may release or abandon any claims in favor of this trust." Thus, without question the trustee has the right under the Trust Agreement to agree to arbitration binding the Minor beneficiary as to claims or demands once they have arisen. This provision in the Trust Agreement is consistent with the Tennessee Uniform Trust Code, Tenn. Code Ann. ] 3515-101, et seq. Specifically, Tenn. Code Ann. ] 35-15-816 provides: 8 35-15-816. Specific powers of trustee. * * * (b) Unless the terms of the instrument expressly provide otherwise and without limiting the authority conferred by ] 35-15-815, a trustee may: * * * (14) Pay or contest any claim, settle a claim by or against the trust, and release, in whole or in part, a claim belonging to the trust; Tenn. Code Ann. ] 35-15-816(b)(14) (2015). In their brief on appeal Wunderlich and Alexander argue, in part, that the "any and all" language contained in Section 11.05(e) of the Trust Agreement shows that the clause does not refer only to existing claims and demands, but also can include disputes that have not yet arisen. Black's Law Dictionary, however, defines the term "claim" as: 1. The aggregate of operative facts giving rise to a right enforceable by a court <the plane crash led to dozens of wrongful death claims>. 2. The assertion of an existing right; any right to payment or to an equitable remedy, even if contingent or provisional <the spouse's claim to half of the lottery winnings>. 3. A demand for money or property to which one asserts a right <an insurance claim>. BLACK'S LAW DICTIONARY 240 (7th ed. 1999). The word "claim" simply does not include disputes that have not yet arisen. As such, the "any and all" language contained in Section 11.05(e) of the Trust Agreement, which modifies the words "claims and demands," cannot refer to disputes not yet in existence. The Trust Agreement does not provide that the trustee has the right to agree to arbitration prior to a claim or demand arising. To hold that it does would result in re-writing the agreement, which clearly and unambiguously provides the trustee the right to agree to arbitration only after claims or demands arise. Furthermore, it is difficult to comprehend how a trustee could foresee that agreeing to arbitrate a claim or dispute would be in the best interest of a minor when the trustee lacks knowledge of what that future claim or dispute might encompass. Given the nature of the claim or dispute arbitration may very well not be in the best interest of a minor beneficiary and agreeing to arbitration could potentially violate the duties that a trustee owes to a minor beneficiary 9 of a trust. See Tenn. Code Ann. ] 35-15-801 et seq. (discussing duties and EFTA01412464 powers of trustee). As the plain and unambiguous language of the Trust Agreement did not give the trustee the power to agree to arbitration of unknown future claims or disputes, we find and hold that the signature of the trustee on the investment/brokerage account agreement agreeing to arbitration does not bind the Minor beneficiary of the Trust to conduct arbitration of unknown future disputes or claims. Conclusion The judgment of the Trial Court granting the motion to compel arbitration is reversed, and this cause is remanded to the Trial Court for further proceedings consistent with this Opinion and for collection of the costs below. The costs on appeal are assessed against the appellees, Wunderlich Securities, Inc. and Albert M. Alexander, Jr. D.

D7 LENGTH: 1427 words James Wheeler was about 9 when he first saw Spencer Williams' "The Blood of Jesus," in which a woman is shot by her husband and journeys to the crossroads between heaven and hell. He watched the movie, which featured an all-black cast, not in a theater but on a portable 16mm projector in a cafe his mother ran in Waldo, Ark. He figures it was around 1948. "That movie, man, it made you feel like you were following the spirit of this woman all the way to heaven," remembered Wheeler, who now lives in Southfield. "As a kid growing up in the South, it all seemed so real. I can't even begin to tell you the impression that left on me." Screening this Sunday, "The Blood of Jesus" serves as the centerpiece of "Pioneers of African-American Cinema," running primarily this weekend (and two additional dates) at the Detroit Film Theatre at the Detroit Institute of Arts. The series takes nine features from a recently released Kino Lorber set of rare black films and projects them on the DFT screen in high-definition digital. All screenings are free "We wanted to show several films to provide the broadest possible overview," said Elliot Wilhelm, the DIA's film curator. "We have the heralded movies of Spencer Williams and Oscar Micheaux, and others made primarily for their entertainment value, movies emulating the Hollywood product that black audiences would see at segregated theaters throughout the South." Movies made by and for African Americans, sometimes called "race films," were shown in theaters, but more often screened in popular community gathering places like churches or cafes like the one in which Wheeler saw many of these films for the first time. For Wheeler, this led to a lifelong study of the movies and their makers, including Williams, who made "The Blood of Jesus," and Micheaux, whose ingenuity behind the camera and subject matter have made him the most famous of the early black filmmakers. Three of his titles will be shown. Micheaux's films are often called a response to the racist images of D.W. Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation," which showed black characters (often portrayed by white actors in black face) as lazy and often evil. Yet these films also featured racial stereotypes. The stories often involved drinking, gambling and other illegal activities, with the church the sole road to salvation. Wheeler defends the overt melodrama of these early films as an important stepping stone to more nuanced works. "Those filmmakers did what they could to get these works out and seen by the public," he said. EFTA01412468 "And sometimes, they relied on familiar stereotypes." An exception is "The Flying Ace," a 1926 aviation drama made by Southern - born white director Richard E. Norman and featuring African Americans in roles that traditionally had been played by white actors. This Friday night offering screens in a stunning new digital restoration and with live musical accompaniment. Just over an hour long, the movie will be shown with home movies taken by the Rev. Solomon Sir Jones, who took priceless footage of African American life in his rural Oklahoma hometown. Motown connections are strong in two of the titles. Detroit-born Herb Jeffries stars in "The Bronze Buckaroo" (1939), one of several films in which he starred as the first black singing cowboy. Jeffries (sometimes billed as Herbert Jeffrey) had a long career in movies and on television as an actor, musician and singer-songwriter. He died in 2014 at the age of 100. The Detroit-made "Eleven P.M." (1928), which screens on Saturday afternoon, is fascinating on several levels, first for its exterior shots of black neighborhoods around the time it was made in the late 1920s and for its subject matter, which puts a surrealistic spin on a seemingly simple morality tale about a slick hoodlum who preys on the poor violinist who once tried to help him. The movie ends with one of the strangest images in all of cinema, in which a character returns in the form of a half-man/half-dog to take revenge on the man who killed him. Wilhelm likens the movie to something from surrealist artist and poet Jean Cocteau. Along with "The Blood of Jesus," it is a must-see title in the program. "Eleven P.M." is one of two features produced in Detroit by Cuba-born Richard Maurice, who worked as a tailor before launching the Maurice Film Co. in 1920. There are no known prints of his first feature, "Nobody's Children," from 1920, but "Eleven P.M.," which he also starred in, has only gained in reputation since it screened about 20 years ago at the DFT in a grainy and incomplete video print. The digital restorations (more than half of them screening in professional- quality DCP) will be an eye-opener for film buffs. With a film like "Eleven P.M.," the heightened clarity will have them reading street and window signs, license plates and even manhole covers looking for clues for how Detroit found its way into the film. https://www.lexisnexis.com/dd/delivery/PrntDoc.do?- jobHandle=1825:640721064SAnldFil... 4/30/2018 EFTA01412469 Page 10 of 32 This is exactly what film historian Wheeler did when he first got his first VHS copy of "Eleven P.M." decades ago and examined it with a fellow scholar. "We must have watched that movie a hundred times. ... The best we could figure is that it was filmed on Gratiot near downtown," Wheeler said. "Some of the actual locations are lost to me now, but the idea of having any documentation of that area makes the film even more special." Many of these films were once considered lost. A now-legendary discovery of black films in a warehouse in Tyler, Texas, in the mid'80s resurrected many of the titles, including "The Blood of Jesus." In 1991, that movie became the first so-called race film to be added to the U.S. National Film Registry. Wilhelm notes that the continued efforts of individuals like Wheeler - along with institutions like Yale University, the Museum of Modern Art, the Library of Congress and the Martin Scorsese-led Film Foundation have discovered and preserved movies that would otherwise be lost.

FOCUS - 5 of 19 Documents mirror.co.uk April 28, 2016 Thursday 11:23 PM GMT Donald Trump denies rape of teenage girl at 'sex party with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein'; The presidential hopeful categorically denies sexually assaulting and raping the woman at his New York residence back in 1994 BYLINE: By Christopher Bucktin SECTION: NEWS,WORLD NEWS LENGTH: 977 words US presidential hopeful Donald Trump has been accused of raping a woman when she was a teenager. The Republican front-runner has been accused of sexually assaulting the alleged victim with Jeffrey Epstein. The bombshell claim threatens to derail Trump's bid for the White House , as he is currently on course to win the party's nomination for the November election. The billionaire businessman responded last night saying the "allegations are not only categorically false". The alleged victim lodged her claim in the Central District Court of California on Tuesday. She accused Trump and fellow billionaire Epstein of "sexual abuse under threat of harm" and "conspiracy to deprive civil rights." In her claim, the woman "alleges she was enticed by promises of money and modelling career to attend a series of underage sex parties held at the New York City residence of defendant Jeffrey E Epstein and attended by Donald J Trump." She claims she was forced to perform a sex act on Trump, 69, and "engage in an unnatural lesbian sex act with her fellow minor and sex slave". She said on the "fourth and final sexual encounter" Trump "proceeded to forcibly rape the Plaintiff." The woman alleges in her claim she "loudly pleaded with defendant Trump to 'please wear a condom'." She claims the acts took place from June to September 1994.

"On the first occasion," the alleged victim said she "was forced to manually stimulate Defendant Trump with the use of her hand ... until he reached sexual orgasm." She then goes on: "On the second occasion," the documents state, she "was forced to orally copulate Defendant Trump by placing her mouth upon Defendant Trump's erect penis until he reached sexual orgasm. In response to the allegations Trump told Radar Online: "The allegations are not only categorically false, but disgusting at the highest level and clearly framed to solicit media attention or, perhaps, are simply politically motivated. "There is absolutely no merit to these allegations. Period." Epstein has yet to comment on the allegations. The woman claims she was threatened with her life if she ever spoke of the abuse she alleges she suffered. In closing her statement she added: "[The alleged victim] was fully warned on more than one occasion by both defendants, Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey E, Epstein, that were she ever to reveal any of the details of the sexual and physical abuse that she had suffered as a sex slave for defendant Trump and defendant Epstein, that plaintiff Johnson and her family would be in mortal danger. "The Plaintiff was warned that this would mean certain death for herself and the Plaintiff family unless she remained silent forever on the exact details of the depraved and perverted sexual and physical abuse she had been forced to endure from the defendants." According to the documents, the woman is representing herself in the case. The allegations emerged less than 24 hours after Trump attracted criticism after proudly boasting while on the campaign trial in Indianapolis that he had been endorsed by Mike Tyson. The state is where the former world heavyweight champion was convicted of raping beauty pageant contestant Desiree Washington in 1992. He was jailed for three years for the attack. "Mike Tyson endorsed me," Trump told the crowd. "I love it. He sent out a tweet. Mike. Iron Mike. You know, all the tough guys endorse me. I like that, OK? "But Mike said, 'I love Trump. I endorse Trump.' And that's the end. I'm sure he doesn't know about your economic situation in Indiana. But when I get endorsed by the tough ones, I like it, because you know what? We need toughness now. We need toughness."

Trump had a financial interest in the case because Tyson's fights made money for his hotels. The businessman was previously accused of sexual assault by his ex-wife Ivana Zelnickova during their divorce in 1991. EFTA01412474 The Czech-American socialite accused him of "raping" her three years previously but later clarified her comment saying it was not in "a literal or criminal sense". Trump has always denied her allegation. The allegation had appeared in a sworn deposition made by Ivana Trump reported in the 1993 book 'Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump', by Harry Hurt III. According the author, she accused him of rape after he allegedly attacked her in a "violent assault". In the book, it is alleged he ripped off her clothes to have sex with her. The book claims she told her friends: "He raped me." A spokesman for Trump wrongly claimed "you cannot rape your spouse". However 50 states throughout the US say it is illegal. Before Lost Tycoon was printed, Trump and his lawyers provided a statement from Ivana, published beneath the allegation of rape. https://www.lexisnexis.com/dd/delivery/PrntDoc.do?- jobHandle=1825:640721064&dnldFil... 4/30/2018 EFTA01412475 Page 13 of 32 It read: "During a deposition given by me in connection with my matrimonial case, I stated that my husband had raped me. "I wish to say that on one occasion during 1989, Mr Trump and I had marital relations in which he behaved very differently toward me than he had during our marriage. "As a woman, I felt violated, as the love and tenderness which he normally exhibited toward me, was absent. I referred to this as a 'rape,' but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense. "Any contrary conclusion would be an incorrect and most unfortunate interpretation of my statement which I do not want to be interpreted in a speculative fashion and I do not want the press or media to misconstrue any of the facts set forth above.

FOCUS - 6 of 19 Documents The New York Times January 7, 2015 Wednesday Late Edition - Final Lawyer Denies Suit's Allegations of Sex With a Minor BYLINE: By TIMOTHY WILLIAMS SECTION: Section A; Column 0; National Desk; Pg. 13 LENGTH: 591 words A well-known criminal defense lawyer, who along with Prince Andrew has been accused of having sex with an under-age girl, has denied the allegations in a federal court filing and asked that his name be removed from the case. In court papers filed Monday in the Southern District of Florida, representatives for the lawyer, Alan M. Dershowitz, called the claims that he had sex with a minor "outrageous and impertinent." The accusations against Mr. Dershowitz, a professor emeritus at Harvard Law School, and Prince Andrew, second son of Queen Elizabeth and fifth in line to the British throne, came in a motion filed Dec. 30 as part of a broader, long-running federal lawsuit. Mr. Dershowitz and Prince Andrew are not parties to the broader lawsuit. The motion claimed that Jeffrey E. Epstein, a wealthy businessman who has previously pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution, had forced the girl, beginning at age 15, to have sex with "politically connected and financially powerful people," including Mr. Dershowitz and Prince Andrew. Buckingham Palace has vehemently denied the allegations against the prince. The woman, who was not identified in the court document, was repeatedly sexually abused by Mr. Epstein as a minor, the filing said, EFTA01412476 and was "required" to have sex with Prince Andrew and Mr. Dershowitz several times, including in Florida, New York, New Mexico and the Virgin Islands and on private planes. https://www.lexisnexis.com/dd/delivery/PrntDoc.do?- jobHandle=1825:640721064&dnldFil... 4/30/2018 EFTA01412477 Page 14 of 32 The motion also claimed that Mr. Dershowitz had abused other minors and had been "an eyewitness to the sexual abuse of many other minors" by Mr. Epstein and others. In a statement accompanying the court filing, Mr. Dershowitz said the encounters could not have occurred for several reasons, including the one time he had visited Mr. Epstein's house in New Mexico. The house was still under construction, and Mr. Dershowitz said he had stayed for about an hour. He was accompanied, he said, by his wife and daughter and another couple. "Mr. Epstein was not there," Mr. Dershowitz said. "Nor were there any young girls visible at any time." Bradley J. Edwards, a lawyer for the woman, declined to comment Tuesday. Mr. Dershowitz's lawyers said in their motion that the allegation was "nothing more than a vehicle to impugn the reputation of Professor Dershowitz, filed with the certain result of stirring up media interest." The motion argued that Mr. Dershowitz, who has previously served as Mr. Epstein's lawyer, should be allowed to remove his name from the case given that the allegations of sexual abuse had harmed his reputation. "Few accusations, if any, can launch such an immediate sensation as well as an enduring taint, notwithstanding their utter falsity and the impeccable reputation of the accused," the motion said. Further, the motion maintained that the accusation, while "categorically false," had no relevance to
