About
Lawrence Visoski, Epstein's longtime pilot, appeared as the government's first witness and testified over the first two trial days about private travel among Epstein's residences. He described flight operations, scheduling, passenger manifests, aircraft, and photographs of people and properties, and testified that Maxwell assisted with flight scheduling and managed households.
During continued direct examination, Visoski identified photographs and described the interiors of residences and an aircraft. He said captains completed passenger manifests shortly after flights and sometimes recorded a passenger's sex when a name was unknown. Several government photographs were admitted without objection following his identifications.
On cross-examination, Visoski described several people arranging flights and acknowledged that passenger-name information was incomplete. He testified that closed cockpit doors prevented him from observing passengers during flights and that he did not see sexual activity aboard the aircraft.
On redirect, Visoski clarified that an aircraft identification was based on visual memory and that his estimate of a Cobra gift date was approximate. The court overruled a defense leading objection and permitted him to complete an answer.
