Former Epstein Secretary's Testimony Questioned

 

Lesley Groff, the former secretary to child sex trafficker/ pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, was interviewed by the House Oversight Committee on June 9 as to the relationship between the Epstein and the Malignant Fascist, and her knowledge of the overall sex trafficking operation run by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.  Though she minimally confirmed setting up calls between Epstein and the MF, from all appearances, she was not a particularly cooperative witness:

Lesley Groff, former executive secretary for convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, told lawmakers that she set up phone calls between her boss and President Donald Trump several times a year for at least a decade, according to a transcript released Tuesday by the House Oversight Committee.

Groff, who was hired by Epstein in 2001, told lawmakers she didn’t remember setting up any in-person meetings between the two men, but said it was possible, adding later that she would describe their relationship as “friendly.”  [snip]

In her opening statement, Groff testified that she handled scheduling Epstein’s daily massages with dozens of various women, including in New York and the United Kingdom. Survivors of Epstein’s abuse, many of whom were minors, have said they were forced to perform massages on him as a pretext to sexual abuse. [snip]

Many Democrats on the House Oversight Committee took issue with Groff’s testimony and found her account of Epstein untrustworthy.

Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) told reporters that he didn’t believe Groff’s claims that she never saw Epstein do anything inappropriate with a minor and never scheduled him for massages with underage girls.

“It is highly inconsistent what she is maintaining, that she really didn’t know Jeffrey Epstein even though she worked for him for 18 years,” he said. “I just question whether she can rightfully and truthfully maintain that she saw nothing improper.” 

Working for Epstein for 18 years and not knowing what he was up to doesn't remotely pass the smell test.  Clearly, there's a fear on Ms. Groff's part of incriminating herself.  Reading the transcript (linked above) gives one the unmistakable feeling that the whole truth and nothing but the truth isn't what the Republicans on the Committee or Ms. Groff are interested in.  But we could have predicted that back on June 9.
