Lesley Groff, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime assistant, denied knowledge of her former boss’s crimes in her transcribed interview with the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday, the latest witness to testify in the panel’s sprawling Epstein investigation. “I never saw anything improper,” Groff told members of the committee, a source familiar with the matter told MS NOW.
Groff, who worked for Epstein for nearly 20 years until he was arrested in 2019 on sex trafficking charges, began her testimony before the Republican-led committee around 10 a.m. ET.
Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., told reporters during a break that Groff denied that she and Epstein were close, and that her characterization of their relationship was “highly inconsistent.”. “He was a registered sex offender, and she arranged young women for massages with a registered sex offender, and I just question whether … she can rightfully and truthfully maintain that she saw nothing improper in that,” he said.
Groff told lawmakers that she was not aware that some of the women she arranged to massage Epstein were minors, according to Lynch. “There are young women who say she knew, and that they told her that [they were] under age, and then she maintains that she was not fully aware of that,” he said.
