Lesley Groff, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime executive assistant, faced intense questioning from House investigators as lawmakers continued digging into Epstein’s network and the people who worked closest to him.
One of Jeffrey Epstein’s closest former employees has found herself back in the spotlight and this time, Congress wants answers.
As the Daily Mail reports, Lesley Groff, Epstein’s longtime executive assistant, was reportedly anxious ahead of a closed-door appearance before the House Oversight Committee, where lawmakers are investigating the late financier’s operations and the people around him.
Groff worked for Epstein for nearly two decades, from 2001 until his 2019 arrest. According to reports, she played a central role in managing his schedule, arranging meetings, coordinating travel, and handling many aspects of his daily affairs. Lawmakers believe her testimony could help shed light on how Epstein’s network functioned behind the scenes.
As the source of the news reports, Groff has consistently maintained that her relationship with Epstein was strictly professional and that she had no knowledge of his criminal activities. Her attorney has previously argued that Epstein misled staff members about the allegations against him.
Still, skepticism remains. Some lawmakers have questioned how much Groff knew, given her close involvement in Epstein’s day-to-day operations and her role in arranging appointments and logistics.
For investigators, the goal is straightforward: uncover who knew what, when they knew it, and whether key questions surrounding Epstein’s inner circle remain unanswered.
