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.

yahoo news | Former Attorney General Pam Bondi Arrives for Closed-Door Epstein Files... AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before the House Oversight Committee on May 29, 2026 for a closed‑door deposition on her handling of Justice Department files related to Jeffrey Epstein, arriving with a white throat bandage after announcing a thyroid‑cancer diagnosis. In her opening statement she acknowledged “redaction errors” in the initial release of the Epstein materials and said she had delegated the process to then‑deputy attorney general Todd Blanche. The hearing, held in Bondi’s personal capacity and attended by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon as government counsel, was framed by committee chair James Comer as an effort to provide truth and justice for Epstein survivors, who criticized the Justice Department’s past handling of the case. Bondi’s testimony is the thirteenth in the committee’s multi‑year Epstein investigation, which continues to schedule further high‑profile depositions as lawmakers push for greater transparency and the release of more unreleased files.

qwant news | Sarah Kellen Tells Congress She Was Jeffrey Epstein’s ’Indentured Slave,’ Abused Weekly, Yet Survivors Say She Scheduled Their Assaults AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Sarah Kellen testified before the House Oversight Committee that she was Jeffrey Epstein’s “indentured slave,” subjected to years of weekly sexual and psychological abuse and forced to assist in his crimes, insisting she was never an accomplice and describing her experience as constant grooming, domination and gas‑lighting that left her unable to distinguish her own thoughts from his. Her account directly contradicts survivor testimony—including accusations from women such as Teresa Helm—that Kellen helped schedule massages, sex sessions and even recruited other victims, a role she partially acknowledged in a 2020 interview where she said she booked appointments at Epstein and Maxwell’s direction but maintained she was abused herself. Kellen, who was named a “potential co‑conspirator” in Epstein’s controversial 2007 non‑prosecution agreement without ever being consulted, said she learned of the deal only after it was signed and that the federal government branded her a criminal while she was under Epstein’s control. During the closed‑door hearing she provided three new names of individuals involved in Epstein’s abuse, prompting the committee to promise a rapid release of her testimony transcript. While Kellen claims she was powerless and has repaired relationships with some survivors, other victims view her role as complex—being both victimized and manipulated into recruiting—leaving the debate over her culpability unresolved.

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.

US Top News and Analysis | Oversight Chairman Comer launches congressional probe into insider trading on Kalshi, Polymarket AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer announced a congressional investigation into potential insider‑trading activity on prediction‑market platforms Kalshi and Polymarket. Citing trades that appeared to exploit inside information on elections, U.S. military actions, and other political events, Comer has requested documents from both companies on how they verify user identities, enforce geographic restrictions, and detect anomalous trading. The probe follows recent high‑profile cases—including a U.S. soldier allegedly profiting from a bet on Venezuelan politics and dozens of users placing suspicious wagers ahead of strikes in Iran—prompting bipartisan calls for legislation to bar members of Congress, government employees, and presidential administration officials from participating in such markets. Kalshi, regulated by the CFTC, says it does not allow bets on war or death, while Polymarket, a blockchain‑based platform licensed in Panama, operates under limited U.S. regulation. Both firms have said they are tightening internal rules after the suspicious trades were revealed.

The New Republic | Epstein’s Assistant Names Three New Abusers in Harrowing Testimony by Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Jeffrey Epstein’s former assistant, Sarah Kellen, testified under closed‑door conditions before the House Oversight Committee, where she bravely disclosed details of the weekly, often violent sexual and psychological abuse she suffered at Epstein’s hands and identified three previously unknown men who participated in the exploitation. Kellen, who worked for Epstein from 2001 for more than a decade despite having “nowhere else to go,” described incidents such as being awakened in the night as Epstein inserted his fingers into her and being trapped in a gym where he choked and raped her. She said she was unaware that she had been named a co‑conspirator in Epstein’s 2008 non‑prosecution deal and emphasized that she hopes turning her trauma into public awareness will help other victims and expose the broader sex‑trafficking network.

The Guardian | Howard Lutnick said he had three ‘inconsequential’ meetings with Epstein by Anna Betts AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Howard Lutnick, the U.S. commerce secretary, testified before a House oversight committee that he met Jeffrey Epstein only three times—in 2005 for coffee at Epstein’s home, in 2011 to discuss “scaffolding,” and in 2012 for a brief, “meaningless and inconsequential” lunch on Epstein’s private island—describing each encounter as insignificant and denying any personal or professional relationship or any knowledge of illegal activity. He recounted that during the 2005 visit he saw a massage table and was told Epstein received a “right kind of massage” daily, which he interpreted as possibly sexual, prompting him and his wife to sever ties. Lutnick asserted he never saw young women or girls at Epstein’s residence or island and condemned Epstein’s conduct. Democratic lawmakers criticized his testimony as evasive, while the Republican committee chair praised his transparency. Lutnick’s statements contradicted earlier comments made on a podcast and have fueled calls for his resignation as the first Trump‑administration official to appear before the panel.

ABC News: Top Stories | New date set for Bondi deposition in House Oversight's Epstein probe AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A new deposition date has been set for former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi in the House Oversight Committee’s investigation of Jeffrey Epstein after Rep. Robert Garcia, the committee’s lead Democrat, introduced a resolution to hold Bondi in civil contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena. Garcia announced the contempt filing on the House floor, noting that action was finally required to compel Republican cooperation. The committee confirmed that Bondi will appear on May 29, after earlier expectations for a closed‑door testimony on April 14 were nullified when the Justice Department said the subpoena no longer applied following her removal from office by President Trump. If the civil contempt effort succeeds, a federal judge could order Bondi to testify, elevating the dispute to the courts. The deposition is part of the broader, bipartisan‑criticized probe into the handling of Epstein‑related documents and the Justice Department’s implementation of the Epstein Transparency Act.
