... along with several other women in his plea deal with Epstein.

This quote is from Politico, in a story entitled "The Women Who Enabled Jeffrey Epstein" (published 5/14/2021)

Groff, 54, worked as Epstein’s executive assistant in Manhattan when she was in her 30s. According to court documents filed in a 2019 lawsuit by victim Jennifer Araoz, Groff was critical in facilitating Epstein’s sexual abuse. She looked after Epstein’s victims, booked their travel and made sure they maintained “rules of behavior,” according to another lawsuit. In a statement to POLITICO, Groff’s lawyer said she “never witnessed anything improper or illegal” while working for Epstein and that she has “always maintained her innocence” in the Araoz case.

Since Lesley Groff worked in the Manhattan office since around 1999 or 2000, she must have interacted with Chump, or at least conveyed messages and appointments for him. Groff would have worked closely with Ghislaine Maxwell in the same office for a few years. There's a lot she's not telling us. Probably her lawyer is telling her not to reveal anything.
