duckduckgo news | House Republicans seek DOJ probe of abuse allegations raised by Epstein's assistant AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and several Republican lawmakers asked the Justice Department to investigate abuse allegations made by Sarah Kellen, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime assistant, who testified that she was sexually and psychologically abused by former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine, celebrity hairstylist Frédéric Fekkai, and Ghislaine Maxwell while working for Epstein and Maxwell. In a letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the lawmakers urged the DOJ to use all tools, including possible witness immunity, to probe any criminal conduct by Levine and Fekkai. Kellen’s May 21 interview, released in a transcript, marked a notable point in the committee’s expanding inquiry into Epstein’s network, the federal government’s handling of the case, and alleged misconduct by associated individuals. The committee’s investigation has already included high‑profile testimonies from figures such as Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Howard Lutnick, Pam Bondi, Les Wexner and others, and plans to interview additional witnesses including Lesley Groff and Bill Gates. Epstein died in custody in 2019; Maxwell is serving a 20‑year sentence for sex‑trafficking offenses.

Home - CBSNews.com | House Republicans seek DOJ probe of allegations raised by Epstein's assistant AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and several Republican lawmakers wrote to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche urging the Justice Department to investigate abuse allegations made by Sarah Kellen, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime assistant. In a May interview with the committee, Kellen said she was sexually and psychologically abused by former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine and celebrity hairstylist Frédéric Fekkai while working for Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and also alleged abuse by Maxwell herself. The lawmakers’ letter asked prosecutors to use all tools, including possible immunity for witnesses, to examine any criminal conduct by Levine and Fekkai. Kellen’s testimony, which the committee described as the most substantive interview to date, also highlighted that she received no contact from law‑enforcement until after Epstein’s 2019 arrest, prompting questions about earlier investigative gaps. The request represents the latest development in the Oversight Committee’s broader probe of Epstein’s network and the federal government’s handling of the case.

The Guardian | Top US arts camp and boarding school to demolish Jeffrey Epstein lodge by Associated Press AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Interlochen Center for the Arts, a renowned Michigan summer arts camp and boarding school, announced that its board of trustees will demolish the Green Lake Lodge—formerly known as the Jeffrey E. Epstein Scholarship Lodge after the institution cut ties with the convicted sex offender. Epstein attended the camp in 1967 and donated more than $400,000 to the school between 1990 and 2003, including funds for the lodge’s construction; he also used the facility periodically, often with Ghislaine Maxwell. At least two of Epstein’s accusers have said they met him at Interlochen in the 1990s, prompting the school to invite them to speak with an independent investigator as part of an external review of historical misconduct. While internal reviews have found no records of wrongdoing at the camp involving Epstein, the board decided that removing the lodge better reflects the institution’s values. Epstein died by suicide in a Manhattan federal jail in August 2019 after being indicted on sex‑trafficking charges, and Maxwell was later convicted for her role in his crimes.

Republican Representative Thomas Massie warned that the Justice Department’s ongoing rollout of the Epstein investigation remains incomplete and that both Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel have violated the law by withholding millions of redacted files, including victims’ 302 forms; he asserted that the first lady, Melania Trump, knows Epstein “didn’t act alone,” and claimed to have already identified at least three billionaire names implicated, insisting that the Epstein Files Transparency Act will force the full release of the documents and that future officials must comply with the law to bring accountability to those hidden in the files.

qwant news | Former Epstein Assistant Details To Congress How He Groomed and Controlled Her AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Sarah Kellen, who for years was identified in court filings as Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime assistant, told the House Oversight Committee that she was not a conspirator but one of his victims, describing more than a decade of grooming, sexual and psychological abuse, manipulation, and a violent assault that left her “gaslit” and unable to distinguish her own thoughts from his. In her prepared statement she said she was paid “in part to be raped,” was on call to Epstein around the clock, and was recruited after an early marriage, divorce, and isolation made her a “perfect target.” Kellen’s testimony, which challenges the public image that cast her as an accomplice, comes as Congress continues to probe whether law‑enforcement agencies and powerful figures failed Epstein’s victims, alongside other witnesses such as former associate Ghislaine Maxwell’s co‑defendant and Epstein’s former attorney.

ABC News: Top Stories | Former Epstein assistant to appear before House committee AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Former personal assistant Sarah Kellen, who worked for convicted sex‑offender Jeffrey Epstein, is set to appear before the House Oversight Committee in a closed‑door interview as part of the panel’s broader investigation into the federal handling of the Epstein case. Court filings and Justice Department records show Kellen repeatedly alleges that Epstein psychologically dominated and sexually abused her for years, forcing her to schedule his daily massages and inadvertently facilitating the abuse of underage girls, though she claims she didn’t realize the victims were minors at the time. Federal prosecutors examined potential charges against her but ultimately decided not to pursue an indictment, citing her status as a victim coerced by Epstein. The committee, chaired by Rep. James Comer, plans to hear additional witnesses—including other Epstein aides and high‑profile figures—before issuing a report later this year.

BBC News | Victim or enabler? Epstein girlfriend who could face questions despite plea deal AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Nadia Marcinko, a Slovak‑born former model who became Jeffrey Epstein’s main girlfriend for seven years after his split with Ghislaine Maxwell, is now back in the spotlight as legislators consider probing the 2008 plea‑deal that granted her and three other women immunity. Marcinko, who visited Epstein 67 times while he served a 13‑month sentence, has never been charged, but prosecutors and investigators say she helped recruit women for Epstein and was subjected to physical and emotional abuse, including choking, forced plastic surgery, and coercive control over her life. Email evidence shows the pair planned a family, exchanged affectionate messages, and that Epstein demanded she learn domestic skills, read extensively, and scout additional sexual partners, while also providing her with pilot training and financial support. After Epstein’s 2019 death, Marcinko cooperated with the FBI and has since disappeared from public view, though her lawyer claims she wishes to speak out as a victim. Lawmakers now debate whether a victim of such coercion can also be deemed an accomplice, with calls to investigate all four women named in the original plea deal.

Ted Waitt, the billionaire founder of Gateway, testified before the House Oversight Committee that he ended his seven‑year relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell in 2010 by giving her a $7.2 million “palimony” payment—plus monthly allowance while they dated—to help her maintain the lavish lifestyle she was accustomed to, noting she was unhappy with the amount and wanted more. He said he never received any written agreement, had no knowledge of her involvement with Jeffrey Epstein until after their split, and now regrets ever associating with her, especially given her later conviction for sex‑trafficking crimes. Waitt’s testimony also highlighted his prior wealth, their overlapping timelines with Epstein, and past social connections to figures such as Bill Clinton, while he affirmed he gave no further funds after the breakup.

Mother Jones | Trump Admin. Has Up to 120,000 Pages of Documents on Ghislaine Maxwell’s Prison Transfer by David Corn AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The article examines the puzzling 2022 transfer of convicted sex‑trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell from a medium‑security co‑ed prison to the low‑security, women‑only Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas—a facility known for amenities such as yoga classes and a puppy program and previously housing high‑profile inmates like Elizabeth Holmes. After a lengthy interview with former deputy attorney general Todd Blanche in which Maxwell praised Donald Trump, journalist Michele McGowan filed a Freedom of Information Act request for every record concerning the move, only to encounter months of delay and a claim from the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) that retrieving the data involved “15.8 GB of potentially responsive records”—roughly 120,000 pages that crashed the agency’s system. The BOP’s slow, understaffed FOIA office, now burdened by thousands of backlogged requests, mirrors a broader federal trend of dwindling FOIA resources and mounting delays across the Defense, State, and Health departments, prompting lawsuits by Mother Jones and the Center for Investigative Reporting to force disclosure. Meanwhile, reports of special treatment for Maxwell at the Bryan camp and political talk of a possible Trump pardon have heightened calls for transparency, underscoring the need for the Justice Department to simply explain the rationale behind her relocation rather than leaving the public to wade through an enormous, delayed FOIA request.

The New York Times reports that Jeffrey Epstein’s former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, says Epstein wrote a suicide note that was subsequently hidden by a federal court. According to Tartaglione, the yellow‑paper note—found torn from a legal pad inside a graphic novel—read, “What do you want me to do, bust out crying? Time to say goodbye.” He told his lawyer about the note after Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell; the lawyer allegedly turned the note over to a district courthouse, which now holds it and has been petitioned to release it. The note has not appeared in the as‑yet‑released Epstein files or formal investigations. Tartaglione, serving life sentences for unrelated murders, denies any role in Epstein’s death, and the Metropolitan Correctional Centre where the incident occurred was later closed.

Reporter Julie K. Brown, whose investigative work helped bring down Jeffrey Epstein, says she believes Ghislaine Maxwell will eventually secure a pardon or commutation because she “knows too much” about Epstein’s crimes and can potentially release damaging information on powerful men, including a note referencing Wall Street billionaire Leon Black. Maxwell, serving a 20‑year sentence in Texas, has a lawyer who is optimistic about a clemency chance, while former President Donald Trump has not ruled it out. The prospect of a pardon has sparked division: some Republican lawmakers support it, but many MAGA supporters and Epstein survivors, including figures like Marjorie Taylor‑Greene, strongly oppose any relief for Maxwell, viewing her as a central abuser in the scandal.

Jezebel | Congrats to Todd Blanche on His First Epstein Lawsuit as Acting AG! by Danielle Han AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A journalist, Katie Phang, has filed a 15‑page lawsuit against Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, accusing the Justice Department of “brazen, shocking, and ongoing” violations of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which mandated full public release of the Epstein records by Dec. 19, 2025. Phang argues that the DOJ’s piecemeal, heavily redacted releases—initially a small batch of documents, then 30,000 files, followed months later by three million error‑filled pages that even exposed survivors’ details—failed to meet the law’s deadline and impeded her reporting. The suit follows earlier congressional efforts, including a failed push by Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna for an independent monitor, and comes amid criticism of former AG Pam Bondi’s handling of the files. Phang’s filing seeks to compel the DOJ to comply with the statutory requirement and ensure transparent access to the complete Epstein documentation.

A federal judge in New York rejected the Justice Department’s attempt to transfer Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey’s wrongful‑termination lawsuit out of court, keeping the case before him because her dismissal was carried out under the President’s Article II executive authority rather than standard civil‑service procedures. Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, left the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York last year and has sued the DOJ, alleging she was fired arbitrarily because of her father’s prominence and perceived political affiliations. The department argued the dispute should be heard by the Merit Systems Protection Board, but the judge noted that Comey was a career prosecutor who handled high‑profile cases—including those against Sean “Diddy” Combs, Robert Hadden, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell—and was terminated with a single reason: the President’s constitutional power to remove federal employees. The next hearing is set for May 28.

A federal judge has ruled that former assistant U.S. attorney Maurene Comey’s lawsuit challenging her dismissal by President Trump can proceed in federal court. Judge Jesse Furman held that her firing, which was carried out under Article II of the Constitution rather than a civil‑service statute, falls outside the jurisdiction of the Merit Systems Protection Board, giving the court authority to hear the case. Comey, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, alleges she was removed because of the president’s animus toward her father and is seeking reinstatement and back pay. The Trump administration had asked the court to dismiss the suit, arguing it lacked jurisdiction, but the judge rejected that argument.

A two‑minute video projection was displayed on the Washington Hilton’s façade on the eve of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, bombarding Donald Trump with accusations tied to Jeffrey Epstein. The animation combined archival footage of Trump and Epstein together at social events with blurred excerpts from the heavily redacted Epstein files, and featured captions alleging that Trump had been warned in a 2011 email from Epstein to Ghislaine Maxwell that “the dog that hasn't barked is Trump.” The protest message claimed the administration had released only half of the Epstein documents, many pages blacked out, and suggested that Trump was implicated in the cover‑up of Epstein’s crimes, even referencing a recent admission on Air Force One that Trump knew young women were being recruited from Mar‑a‑Llago for Epstein’s activities.
