# Massie's 14: Names Read Into the Congressional Record

*On Aug. 31, 2026, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) named 14 people on the House floor as alleged
Jeffrey Epstein "co-conspirators," while launching a discharge petition for the Epstein Files
Transparency Act II. Compiled Sept. 2026 from verified reporting; cross-checked against a local
Spark research run (`20260902-185201 thomas-massie-aug-31-2026-house-floor-speech-naming-14-epste`),
which could not independently surface the speech and is not relied on here.*

  What happened

Rep. Thomas Massie named 14 people on the House floor on Aug. 31, 2026 as Jeffrey Epstein
"co-conspirators" he says should be investigated and prosecuted: Jes Staley, Leon Black, Les
Wexner, David Copperfield, Lapo Elkann, Tom Pritzker, Glenn Dubin, Frédéric Fekkai, Edoardo
Teodorani, Jean-Luc Brunel, Daniel Siad, Ramsey Elkholy, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly
Prince Andrew), and Lesley Groff ([Newsweek](https://www.newsweek.com/thomas-massie-names-14-people-he-says-should-be-investigated-over-epstein-12389523),
[PBS NewsHour](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-massie-names-14-epstein-associates-to-shame-doj),
[The Hill](https://thehill.com/homenews/house/6062468-massie-names-epstein-coconspirators/)).

Massie's stated purpose was to "shame" the Department of Justice over its handling of the
Epstein files a year after President Trump signed the original Epstein Files Transparency Act
into law — legislation Massie championed with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) via a discharge petition
that forced a 427-1 House vote in November 2025 ([The Hill](https://thehill.com/homenews/house/6062468-massie-names-epstein-coconspirators/);
[Wikipedia, Epstein Files Transparency Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epstein_Files_Transparency_Act)).

Alongside the floor speech, Massie opened a new discharge petition — the Epstein Files
Transparency Act II — that would let state attorneys general sue the DOJ over withheld or
redacted Epstein records and ease survivors' ability to sue for their own files. As of Sept. 1,
2026 the petition had roughly three dozen of the 218 signatures needed to force a vote
([Spectrum News 1](https://spectrumnews1.com/ky/louisville/news/2026/09/01/massie-discharge-petition-epstein);

  What "named" does and doesn't mean

Massie's speech is a floor statement, not a criminal charge or a court finding. Being named by
a member of Congress as someone who "should be investigated" is a political and rhetorical act,
protected by the Constitution's Speech or Debate Clause — it is not evidence, and several of the
14 people below explicitly deny wrongdoing, have not been charged, or (per available reporting)
are not otherwise documented in the DOJ's released Epstein files. The individual entries in this
collection separate the fact that Massie named someone from any substantive allegation against
them, and hold each allegation to its own citation.

# Jes Staley

*Named by Rep. Thomas Massie among 14 people in an Aug. 31, 2026 House floor speech on Jeffrey
Epstein — see [Massie's 14](/archive-docs/epstein-massie-names/4d5dea350d2c0eb9eacf211052cc1937). Naming is not a
charge; see that page for what the speech does and doesn't establish.*

  What's documented

Jes Staley, former CEO of Barclays and a senior JPMorgan Chase executive, maintained a
multi-year personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, including hundreds of emails in which
Staley described Epstein as a close friend, and visits to Epstein's properties
([List of people named in the Epstein files — Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_named_in_the_Epstein_files)).
The UK Financial Conduct Authority found Staley had misled the regulator about how close and
recent his relationship with Epstein actually was, and barred him from senior roles in UK
financial services; JPMorgan separately sued Staley for indemnity after settling civil suits
brought by Epstein accusers over the bank's handling of the relationship. `[VERIFY: exact fine
amount and date of the FCA ruling are reported inconsistently across sources gathered for this
entry.]` Staley has said he was unaware of Epstein's crimes and has acknowledged one consensual
encounter with a member of Epstein's staff; the FCA's finding concerned misrepresentation to
regulators, not a finding of criminal conduct, and Staley has not been charged with a crime.

Unsealed DOJ records reported in January 2026 show Epstein named Staley as a successor executor
in draft wills from 2012–2014 ([New York Post](https://nypost.com/2025/12/23/business/jeffrey-epstein-named-larry-summers-jes-staley-as-estate-executors-in-draft-wills)).
Staley has since been called to testify before the House Oversight Committee about his ties to
Epstein ([Yahoo Finance](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/former-barclays-boss-jes-staley-100858598.html)).

*Named by Rep. Thomas Massie among 14 people in an Aug. 31, 2026 House floor speech on Jeffrey
Epstein — see [Massie's 14](/archive-docs/epstein-massie-names/4d5dea350d2c0eb9eacf211052cc1937). Naming is not a
charge; see that page for what the speech does and doesn't establish.*

  What's documented

Leon Black, founder of Apollo Global Management, paid Jeffrey Epstein roughly $158 million
between 2012 and 2017 for what Black described as estate-planning and tax advice
([CBS News](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey-epstein-leon-black-emails);
[Leon Black — Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Black)). Black had appointed
Epstein a trustee of his family foundation in 1997 and sought his advice on a personal legal
dispute in 2015. After the payments drew scrutiny, Apollo's board commissioned an independent
review by Dechert LLP attorney Andrew J. Levander, which concluded in early 2021 that it found
no evidence Black was involved in or aware of Epstein's crimes, and no evidence Epstein had any
role at Apollo or its funds beyond his personal work for Black
([Andrew J. Levander — Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_J._Levander)). Black has
said he "deeply regrets" the relationship and has since committed funds to women's
initiatives. He later told the House Oversight Committee that he considered himself defrauded
by Epstein — testifying Epstein "duped him" out of tens of millions of dollars in fees — and
declined to answer questions about non-disclosure agreements tied to Epstein, leading Rep. James
Comer to subpoena related records ([CNBC](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/26/leon-black-jeffrey-epstein-house-oversight-committee.html)).

Black has not been charged with any crime, and the Dechert review — while commissioned by
Apollo rather than an independent prosecutor — found no evidence of wrongdoing on his part
specific to Epstein's crimes. `[VERIFY: whether any subsequent investigation revisited the
Dechert findings.]`

# Les Wexner

*Named by Rep. Thomas Massie among 14 people in an Aug. 31, 2026 House floor speech on Jeffrey
Epstein — see [Massie's 14](/archive-docs/epstein-massie-names/4d5dea350d2c0eb9eacf211052cc1937). Naming is not a
charge; see that page for what the speech does and doesn't establish.*

  What's documented

Les Wexner, the L Brands (Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie & Fitch) founder, was Jeffrey Epstein's
largest and most important financial client for roughly two decades, from 1987 until 2007.
Wexner granted Epstein a sweeping power of attorney in 1991 covering investments, business
deals, and property, and made him a trustee of the Wexner Foundation
([Vanity Fair](https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/06/inside-jeffrey-epsteins-decades-long-relationship-with-his-biggest-client);
[The Independent](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/jeffrey-epstein-ohio-virginia-giuffre-richard-strauss-tom-davies-b2922481.html)).
Reporting puts Epstein's earnings from managing Wexner's fortune at roughly $200 million over
that period, and Wexner's attorneys told investigators in 2008 that Epstein had separately
misappropriated funds and repaid a portion of it ([The Independent](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/jeffrey-epstein-ohio-virginia-giuffre-richard-strauss-tom-davies-b2922481.html)).
Wexner severed ties with Epstein in 2007, before Epstein's 2008 conviction, and has said he had
no knowledge of Epstein's crimes; he was deposed by the House Oversight Committee and denied
such knowledge under questioning ([CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/18/us/les-wexner-epstein-files-ohio-invs)).
Wexner has been described in reporting as a person the FBI listed among unindicted individuals
of interest in connection with the Epstein investigation, though he has not been charged with
any crime ([NBC News](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/osu-alumni-hold-photos-billionaire-les-wexner-jeffrey-epstein-demandin-rcna247219)).

`[VERIFY: the precise total of Epstein's earnings from Wexner — cited figures range from $200
million to $400 million across the sources gathered for this entry — and the exact terms of the
FBI's "unindicted co-conspirator" characterization.]`

charge; see that page for what the speech does and doesn't establish.*

  What's documented

The illusionist David Copperfield appears in Jeffrey Epstein's contact book and flight logs,
and in court records unsealed in the Giuffre v. Maxwell litigation
([List of people named in the Epstein files — Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_named_in_the_Epstein_files)).
Unsealed documents reported by CNN describe Epstein's circle of associates as including
Copperfield alongside other magicians and celebrities named in the files
([CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/27/politics/david-blaine-david-copperfield-epstein-files)).
Separately, an unsealed deposition reported by The Standard describes an alleged Epstein victim
recounting a 2004 dinner at Epstein's home at which Copperfield performed, and asking her
whether she was aware that girls were being paid to recruit other girls for Epstein
([The Standard](https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/jeffrey-epstein-files-court-documents-unsealed-ghislaine-maxwell-david-copperfield-b1130353.html)).
The DOJ's January 2026 document release reportedly characterized Copperfield's relationship with
Epstein as "very close," which Copperfield has publicly disputed, denying a friendship with
Epstein.

Copperfield has not been charged with any crime, and the available documents describe social
contact and a specific alleged conversation, not an allegation that Copperfield participated in
or knew of Epstein's trafficking. `[VERIFY: the exact wording and full context of the "very
close" DOJ characterization, and the specific court filing or deposition transcript underlying
The Standard's account, were not independently confirmed for this entry.]`

  What's documented

Lapo Elkann, an Italian businessman and member of the Agnelli family (Fiat/Stellantis), was
named by Rep. Massie on Aug. 31, 2026 as one of the 14 people he said should be investigated
over Epstein. A research pass across Wikipedia's Epstein-related pages, reporting on the
unsealed Epstein court documents, and coverage of the DOJ's 2026 file releases found no
primary-source documentation — court filing, flight log, deposition, or DOJ record — connecting
Elkann to Epstein
([What Ghislaine Maxwell really knows and why she will never tell — The Independent](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/trump-epstein-files-ghislaine-maxwell-b2864377.html)).

That absence in the sources checked for this entry is not proof that no connection exists —
Massie's floor speech may rest on material not yet in wide circulation, and this entry will be
updated if primary sourcing surfaces. `[VERIFY: the basis for Massie's inclusion of Elkann has

charge; see that page for what the speech does and doesn't establish.*

  What's documented

Tom Pritzker, executive chairman of Hyatt Hotels and a cousin of Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker,
has publicly and repeatedly denied an allegation from Virginia Giuffre that he was one of the
men to whom she was trafficked. Giuffre's deposition referenced an unnamed "large hotel chain
owner" in France where she said she was directed by Ghislaine Maxwell into an encounter; it did
not name Pritzker directly. Pritzker's spokesperson called the claim "the same false and
isolated allegation" that had already been "published and vehemently denied" years earlier
([Newsweek](https://www.newsweek.com/hyatt-executive-tom-pritzker-jeffrey-epstein-virginia-giuffre-scandal-denial-1857893)).

Sourcing on Pritzker beyond the denial is contested: one court-documents report cited by ABC
News states Pritzker's name does not appear in the specific unsealed document it examined
([ABC News](https://abcnews.com/US/court-documents-naming-jeffrey-epsteins-associates-unsealed/story?id=105993160)),
while other reporting describes a documented, multi-year professional/hospitality relationship
between Pritzker and Epstein. `[VERIFY: claims of a specific "16-year contact trail" of
hospitality-logistics emails between Pritzker and Epstein come from a single outlet not
otherwise corroborated in the sources gathered for this entry, and are not asserted here as
fact.]` Pritzker has not been charged with any crime.

Epstein — see [Massie's 14](/archive-docs/epstein-massie-names/4d5dea350d2c0eb9eacf211052cc1937). Naming is not a
charge; see that page for what the speech does and doesn't establish.*

  What's documented

Glenn Dubin, a hedge fund manager and co-founder of Highbridge Capital Management, is married to
Eva Andersson-Dubin, a former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein's. Epstein — introduced to Dubin
through Jes Staley — acted as a fiduciary for some of Dubin's money, and Dubin's family
occasionally flew on Epstein's private jet ([Vanity Fair](https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/09/glenn-dubin-epstein-questions)).
Virginia Giuffre alleged in a 2016 deposition that Dubin was the first powerful man Ghislaine
Maxwell sent her to after what Giuffre described as a period of "training"; Dubin has denied
this allegation through his attorneys, and a spokesperson separately disputed a claim that
Epstein was godfather to the Dubins' children ([Vanity Fair](https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/09/glenn-dubin-epstein-questions)).
Unsealed documents reported by The Daily Beast name Dubin, alongside other prominent men,
in connection with allegations tied to Epstein's network
([The Daily Beast](https://www.thedailybeast.com/jeffrey-epstein-unsealed-documents-name-powerful-men-in-sex-ring)).

Dubin has not been charged with or convicted of any crime connected to Epstein, despite having
maintained a long personal relationship with him, including social contact after Epstein's 2008
conviction. `[VERIFY: the specific allegation attributed to Dubin's household manager in some
reporting, and any figure describing the total value of transactions between Dubin and Epstein,

Epstein — see [Massie's 14](/archive-docs/epstein-massie-names/4d5dea350d2c0eb9eacf211052cc1937). Naming is not a
charge; see that page for what the speech does and doesn't establish.*

  What's documented

Frédéric Fekkai, a celebrity hairstylist, appears in Epstein's flight logs and contact book,
along with his son ([The Independent](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/epstein-client-files-list-names-trump-melania-b2954818.html)).
A group of Epstein accusers filed a civil lawsuit against Fekkai alleging he physically groomed
them — including bleaching and styling their hair — to make them appear younger, at Epstein's
direction ([AOL](https://www.aol.com/articles/celebrity-hairstylist-fr-d-ric-170000000.html);
[TMZ, via Yahoo News](https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/jeffrey-epstein-celebrity-hairstylist-hit-164400059.html)).
Virginia Giuffre named Fekkai in court documents as someone she said Epstein trafficked her to;
a separate Epstein associate, Johanna Sjoberg, testified she overheard Epstein discussing
"finding girls" for Fekkai. The House Oversight Committee has referred Fekkai, along with two
other men, for criminal prosecution as part of its Epstein-related work
([The Independent](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/epstein-committee-philip-levine-frederic-fekkai-b2989698.html);
[Newsweek](https://www.newsweek.com/epstein-update-who-are-fekkai-levine-and-demarchelier-as-names-revealed-11984083)).

Fekkai has denied the allegations and, as of the most recent reporting gathered for this entry,
has not been charged with a crime. A separate report states his name does not appear in a
specific set of court filings reviewed by that outlet — the sourcing on Fekkai is genuinely
mixed across the material available, and no sworn deposition reviewed here directly documents
his personal involvement in trafficking, as distinct from the referral and the civil lawsuit's
allegations.

*Named by Rep. Thomas Massie among 14 people in an Aug. 31, 2026 House floor speech on Jeffrey
Epstein — see [Massie's 14](/archive-docs/epstein-massie-names/4d5dea350d2c0eb9eacf211052cc1937). Naming is not a
charge; see that page for what the speech does and doesn't establish.*

  What's documented

Edoardo Teodorani, chairman and vice-president of the Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry
for the UK, is referenced in unsealed Epstein court records cited by the BBC, which reported
that Epstein sent him an email — one of several such contacts the BBC's reporting on the files
found among sports and business figures who kept in touch with Epstein after his 2008 conviction
([BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.com/sport/articles/c99kz4zj0m9o)). Beyond that single documented
email exchange, no primary source gathered for this entry — court filing, Wikipedia's list of
people named in the Epstein files, or other reporting — details the nature, extent, or duration
of any contact between Teodorani and Epstein.

Teodorani has not been reported as charged with, or otherwise substantively linked to,
wrongdoing connected to Epstein. `[VERIFY: the full context of the BBC's reporting on
Teodorani's email, and whether Massie's speech drew on additional material not reflected in the

# Jean-Luc Brunel

*Named by Rep. Thomas Massie among 14 people in an Aug. 31, 2026 House floor speech on Jeffrey
Epstein — see [Massie's 14](/archive-docs/epstein-massie-names/4d5dea350d2c0eb9eacf211052cc1937). Naming is not a
charge; see that page for what the speech does and doesn't establish.*

  What's documented

Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent and founder of MC2 Model Management, was introduced to
Jeffrey Epstein by Ghislaine Maxwell in the 1980s and remained closely connected to Epstein for
decades ([Connections of Jeffrey Epstein — Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connections_of_Jeffrey_Epstein)).
Virginia Giuffre alleged in sworn statements that Brunel recruited girls, including some as
young as 12, from Eastern Europe and South America under the guise of modeling opportunities and
supplied them to Epstein for sexual exploitation. French prosecutors charged Brunel with rape of
minors and sexual harassment in December 2020 and he was held in pretrial detention in Paris. He
was found dead in his prison cell on Feb. 19, 2022, in what French authorities described as an
apparent suicide, before his case went to trial
([Rolling Stone](https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/epstein-associate-jean-luc-brunel-dead-suicide-prison-cell-1310207);
[Death of Jeffrey Epstein — Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Jeffrey_Epstein)).

Because Brunel died before trial, the rape and trafficking charges against him were never tested
in court; French authorities have not, to available reporting, further clarified their finding
on his death. `[VERIFY: specific figures reported elsewhere — such as an exact dollar amount
Epstein provided to launch MC2, or a precise flight-log count — come from trackers not verified
for this entry and are not repeated here as fact.]`

# Daniel Siad

*Named by Rep. Thomas Massie among 14 people in an Aug. 31, 2026 House floor speech on Jeffrey
Epstein — see [Massie's 14](/archive-docs/epstein-massie-names/4d5dea350d2c0eb9eacf211052cc1937). Naming is not a
charge; see that page for what the speech does and doesn't establish.*

  What's documented

Daniel Siad, a French modeling scout, was found dead at his home near Paris in 2026, three
months after French prosecutors opened a criminal investigation into his alleged role recruiting
young women for Jeffrey Epstein under the guise of modeling opportunities. According to the
Mirror and IBTimes UK, at least five women had accused Siad of rape and human trafficking, which
he denied, maintaining his contact with Epstein was "purely professional"; his lawyer attributed
his death to a heart attack, citing prolonged stress from the investigation
([Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/dianel-siad-dead-jeffery-epstein-37462297);
[IBTimes UK](https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/epstein-associate-daniel-siad-found-dead-paris-investigation-1810142);
[Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/jeffrey-epsteins-alleged-recruiter-daniel-37462480)).
No formal charges had been filed against Siad before his death.

The sourcing on Siad is contested: the same reporting cluster states his name appears
extensively in the DOJ's declassified Epstein files, while a Wikipedia summary of Epstein's page
reviewed for this entry does not mention Siad at all. `[VERIFY: the precise number of times
Siad's name appears in DOJ records — reported as "nearly 2,000" by outlets in this cluster —
has not been independently confirmed against the primary files for this entry, and the
Wikipedia discrepancy is noted rather than resolved.]`

*Named by Rep. Thomas Massie among 14 people in an Aug. 31, 2026 House floor speech on Jeffrey
Epstein — see [Massie's 14](/archive-docs/epstein-massie-names/4d5dea350d2c0eb9eacf211052cc1937). Naming is not a
charge; see that page for what the speech does and doesn't establish.*

  What's documented

Ramsey Elkholy is described in Czech-language reporting from Seznam Zprávy, a major Czech news
outlet, as a modeling scout who described recruiting young women in Eastern Europe on Epstein's
behalf, based on emails the outlet says it reviewed
([Seznam Zprávy](https://www.seznamzpravy.cz/clanek/domaci-zivot-v-cesku-v-praze-je-zima-ale-holky-zhave-antropolog-nahanel-cesky-pro-epsteina-298723)).
A separate entertainment-press report describes email correspondence between Elkholy and Epstein
about modeling-agency appointments ([Wonderwall](https://www.wonderwall.com/news/unearthed-epstein-email-raises-new-question-about-melania-trump-report-say)).

Beyond those two outlets, sourcing for Elkholy in the material gathered for this entry consists
mainly of a wiki-style tracker site and a blog post citing unnamed "schedules and people
familiar with the matter," neither of which this entry treats as a resolvable primary source.
No court filing, docket number, or named legal document was identified connecting Elkholy to
Epstein. `[VERIFY: this entry's claims rest on two foreign/entertainment-press reports rather
than primary court records; the specific allegations of a recruiting role should be treated as
reported, not established, pending confirmation against primary sources.]`

# Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew)

*Named by Rep. Thomas Massie among 14 people in an Aug. 31, 2026 House floor speech on Jeffrey
Epstein — see [Massie's 14](/archive-docs/epstein-massie-names/4d5dea350d2c0eb9eacf211052cc1937). Naming is not a
charge; see that page for what the speech does and doesn't establish.*

  What's documented

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — formerly Prince Andrew, Duke of York — met Jeffrey Epstein in 1999
through Ghislaine Maxwell and remained connected to him for two decades, including a widely
reported 2010 visit to New York after Epstein's 2008 conviction that Andrew later said was meant
to end the friendship ([Giuffre v. Prince Andrew — Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuffre_v._Prince_Andrew)).
Virginia Giuffre filed a civil lawsuit against him in August 2021 under New York's Child Victims
Act, alleging Epstein and Maxwell trafficked her to have sexual encounters with Andrew on three
occasions in 2001, when she was 16–17 years old — allegations Andrew's lawyers said he
"unequivocally" denied ([BBC](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-60393843);
[NBC News](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/epstein-accuser-sues-prince-andrew-alleged-sex-abuse-n1276369)).
The case settled in February 2022 before trial, for an amount that was not officially disclosed
but that press reports at the time estimated at roughly £12 million ($15 million), with part
reportedly directed to Giuffre's anti-trafficking charity; Andrew made no admission of liability
([New York Post](https://nypost.com/2022/02/15/prince-andrew-settles-with-accuser-virginia-giuffre)).
He has since given up his HRH style and military affiliations amid the continuing fallout.

`[VERIFY: the exact settlement figure remains formally undisclosed and is reported here only as
press estimate, not confirmed amount; a 2026 report of an arrest "over suspected misconduct in
public office" was found in a single source gathered for this entry and is noted but not
independently corroborated.]`

# Lesley Groff

*Named by Rep. Thomas Massie among 14 people in an Aug. 31, 2026 House floor speech on Jeffrey
Epstein — see [Massie's 14](/archive-docs/epstein-massie-names/4d5dea350d2c0eb9eacf211052cc1937). Naming is not a
charge; see that page for what the speech does and doesn't establish.*

  What's documented

Lesley Groff served as Jeffrey Epstein's executive assistant and office manager for nearly two
decades, from 2001 until his 2019 arrest, managing his schedule, communications, and travel
arrangements ([Connections of Jeffrey Epstein — Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connections_of_Jeffrey_Epstein)).
She was named as a potential co-conspirator in Epstein's controversial 2007–08 non-prosecution
agreement, alongside Sarah Kellen and Adriana Ross, and was not charged
([Litigation involving Jeffrey Epstein — Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litigation_involving_Jeffrey_Epstein)).

Groff testified before the House Oversight Committee on June 9, 2026, saying she had no
knowledge of Epstein's crimes, never met the women for whom she arranged appointments, and was
unaware of their ages; she described Epstein as a "master manipulator" and herself as a
"clueless subordinate" ([The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/09/jeffrey-epstein-assistant-lesley-groff-testifies)).
CNN subsequently reported that six survivors disputed her account, saying they met Groff in
person and received cash payments from her directly, and that she asked about the ages of new
women brought into Epstein's circle; four of the survivors agreed to be named in CNN's reporting
([CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/09/politics/lesley-groff-jeffrey-epstein-survivors)).

Groff has not been charged with a crime. The direct conflict between her sworn testimony and the
survivors' on-the-record accounts is unresolved in available reporting — this entry presents
both rather than adopting either. `[VERIFY: figures describing how many times Groff's name
appears in DOJ records, and a specific flight count alongside Ghislaine Maxwell, come from a
single tracker source not corroborated here.]`
