Fresh testimony in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation has reignited scrutiny of the late financier’s connections to prominent figures. Lesley Groff, Epstein’s longtime executive assistant, told members of a House committee that she personally arranged several phone calls between Epstein and Donald Trump before Trump entered politics.
According to lawmakers briefed on the closed-door testimony, Groff described the contacts as infrequent and said they occurred years before Trump became president. The disclosure emerged as Congress continues examining Epstein’s network and activities.
Reporting by Politico noted that the testimony forms part of a broader congressional review of Epstein-related records and relationships. The White House maintained that Trump has been cleared of wrongdoing connected to Epstein and pointed to previous document releases and transparency measures.
