The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Congressman Slams Trump Goon for ‘Taking Good Care’ of Epstein Accomplice by Martha McHardy

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Rep. Daniel Goldman has publicly accused the Justice Department of protecting Ghislaine Maxwell—Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged accomplice—while refusing to meet with the many survivors of Epstein’s trafficking network who want to speak with federal investigators. In a sharply worded post after a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Goldman highlighted that a “room full of Epstein survivors” sat behind former Attorney General Pam Bondi as she testified, and that despite Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s claim that any victim who wanted to talk to the department had done so, several survivors raised their hands when asked who still could not get a meeting. Goldman framed the DOJ’s actions as a “massive cover‑up,” suggesting the agency is shielding former President Trump and other powerful figures by stonewalling victims and selectively releasing heavily redacted Epstein‑related files—about 2.5 million records that remain hidden after a law required their disclosure. He warned that the continued withholding of documents under the pretexts of privilege or ongoing investigations only deepens the perception that the Justice Department is protecting its political allies rather than seeking accountability for the abuse.

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.

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.

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.
