Lesley Groff, the longtime executive assistant to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, appeared before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Tuesday for a closed-door transcribed interview.
Groff has not been charged with any crime, and her attorney, Michael Bachner, has maintained that she had no criminal involvement with Epstein’s activities.
The interview is part of the committee’s broader investigation into Epstein’s network and associates.
Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer said the inquiry has been productive and revealed that two individuals have already been referred to the Department of Justice, though he declined to identify them.
The hearing comes one day before Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is scheduled to appear before the same panel. Neither Gates nor Groff has been accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.
President Donald Trump recently nominated Todd Blanche, his former defense attorney, to serve as attorney general following the dismissal of Pam Bondi.
