Kaiser, who has previously represented accusers of Jeffrey Epstein, initially sought to withdraw from the case in late May, although the reasons for this remain unclear.

Additionally, the judge mandated on Tuesday that Kaiser — who did not attend the hearing — must provide disclosures regarding any false statements that his client may have made in the lawsuit filed in April, which claimed that 35-year-old accuser was sexually abused by his JPMorgan manager, 37-year-old Lorna Hajdini.
