Jeffrey Epstein has been the talk of the nation all week since his sordid emails were released -- one referencing President Trump spending time with a "girl" -- and now a resurfaced clip shows Epstein getting grilled by a lawyer about his oval-shaped penis as part of a civil lawsuit filed by his underage accusers.

If you've never seen it, the video comes from a 2009 deposition in which Epstein was facing several lawsuits from victims who claimed they were sexually abused as minors by Epstein after he struck a controversial plea deal with prosecutors in Florida.

In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to state charges of solicitation of prostitution and solicitation of prostitution with a minor, and was handed an 18-month sentence in a low-security Florida prison along with a work-release gig. The deal, which Epstein cut with federal prosecutors, violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act because Epstein's victims were never given a heads-up about it.
