Epstein's Assistant of 18 Years Testifies She Arranged Regular Calls Between Trump and Epstein — Claims She "Never Saw Anything Improper"
Lesley Groff, Jeffrey Epstein's executive assistant for 18 years, testified behind closed doors before the House Oversight Committee. She told lawmakers she arranged phone calls between Trump and Epstein "about once a quarter" before their alleged falling out. She claimed she "never saw anything improper" despite scheduling massages with young women and girls — the very mechanism Epstein used to recruit victims.

One survivor said Groff called her so often she dropped out of high school. Rep. Lynch called her denials "highly inconsistent." Rep. Ansari said the transcript is full of "I don't recall, I don't know." The committee referred two names to DOJ. Bill Gates testifies Wednesday.
