Overview
- Groff, who testified Tuesday in a closed‑door, transcribed session, denied knowing about Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes and described him as a master manipulator.
- Justice Department files name Groff more than 160,000 times and show she received substantial benefits and large payments while working for Epstein.
- Multiple survivors previously told federal investigators that Groff scheduled massage appointments they say were used to facilitate abuse, and those survivors expressed skepticism about her denials.
- Federal prosecutors informed Groff in 2021 that she would not be charged after a multi‑year probe, a decision the Oversight Committee is examining as part of its inquiry into prosecutorial choices.
- The committee may release a redacted transcript and pursue additional subpoenas or interviews as it compiles a report aimed at assessing institutional failures in the handling of Epstein‑related cases.
