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.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Ex-Boyfriend Reveals Ghislaine Maxwell’s Greedy Demand by Josh Fiallo AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. 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.

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.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Epstein Reporter Reveals Why She Thinks Ghislaine Is Lining Up a Lifeline by Julia Ornedo AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. 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.

yahoo news | He bankrolled Jeffrey Epstein. A building on Dartmouth’s campus still bears his name After billionaire Leon Black and his family pledged $48 million for an arts center, Dartmouth College named the Black Family Visual Arts Center in their honor in 2012. Recent documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice have reignited calls to rename the building, revealing that Black paid Epstein $170 million over six years—payments the New York Times reported were used to fund Epstein’s lavish lifestyle and to enlist him as a “fixer” for personal matters, including the concealment of payments to women and the intimidation of potential accusers. The investigation details how Epstein suggested ways to obscure the money Black gave to women, brainstormed tax‑avoidance schemes, and even helped arrange introductions to women, three of whom later accused Black of rape or sexual assault—claims he denies. Black’s attorneys have dismissed the reporting as a “vicious and specious campaign.” In 2021, amid growing scrutiny, Black stepped down as CEO and chairman of Apollo Global Management. Lawmakers such as Rep. Ro Khanna have urged Dartmouth to remove Black’s name from the center, calling the continued honor “appalling.” Dartmouth officials say they are evaluating the allegations seriously and note the college currently has no financial ties to Black. Records show Black, a 1973 Dartmouth graduate and former trustee, pledged millions to the school—including $500,000 to the College Fund, $1.6 million to a professorship, and $6.8 million in 2014 for various programs. While Black has not been criminally charged, three civil suits alleging abuse are pending—one dismissed, another withdrawn, and a third still active. The college has not announced any decision on renaming the arts center.
