Ghislaine Maxwell is a British former socialite and convicted child sex offender currently serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for sex trafficking minors and conspiracy alongside Jeffrey Epstein.

Leslie Groff’s name appears more than 167,000 times in the existing roll out of the Epstein files as currently illegally and improperly redacted by the Trump Department of Justice.
167,000 times Leslie Groff’s name appears in the Epstein files.
She worked for Epstein from February of 2001 until July of 2019. Jeffrey Epstein’s closest executive assistant. I am talking somebody who know the intimate day in and day out of this man’s schedule that had access to information about this man’s life and schedule travel.
Somebody who also had access to directories of contacts, politicians, royalty, Hollywood, polit um political elite, I mean business people, academics, I mean you name it. This woman had access to all this information.
And yet, and yet she insists she had no idea what Jeffrey Epstein was doing. She had no idea that he was sexually abusing children. She had no idea that he was running a multi-deade international sex trafficking ring. No idea. She also interacted with Ghislaine Maxwell, let me be clear. And she also claims Leslie Groff claims she has no idea about Gyslaine Maxwell being complicit and also a participant in this multi-deade international sex trafficking ring. It defies logic and reality. And yet, ladies and gentlemen, here we are. So, I wanted to do a little bit of a deeper dive on Leslie Groff anticipation of her testimony today.
And I’m going to start with a 2008 interview that was done with the FBI.
So, let’s start there because I think it’s worthwhile to start there. January 9th, 2008. So, Leslie Groff has been working for Jeffrey Epstein for approximately seven years. She was interviewed at her residence in New Kanan, Connecticut regarding a federal investigation involving the sexual exploitation of minors. She advised that she began working as a personal assistant to Jeffrey Epstein in February of 2001. She was interviewed for the job by Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Kimberly Foley. Her current job responsibilities include scheduling Epstein’s personal and business appointments, answering emails, and organizing planning Epstein’s day. Groff described Epstein as a good boss.
Groff was attending to her young child and she also received incoming telephone calls. After the final call was accepted by Groff, she then requested to speak with an attorney, at which point the interview was concluded, the agents then served her with a federal grand jury subpoena. Where did that go?
January 9th, 2008.
Where did all of that go? Where did that investigation go? And don’t you think it’s interesting that after receiving some final call from some unknown person or persons, she then requests to speak with an attorney.
Almost seems like somebody knew that she was meeting with law enforcement at that time and told her, “Don’t talk to law enforcement anymore.” I mean, look, supposition on my part, but as a former prosecutor and somebody who investigated cases, I’d say the timing of that is a little bit suspect.
So, that is January 9th, 2008, and that is from, if you guys are tracking this, the bait stamp is EFTA 1246201. And then what’s interesting is we have the interview note from the FBI, but then we also have this kind of transcribed page which is separate and apart which has fewer redactions.
All righty. So then there’s another interview that was done by the FBI of Leslie Groff and this was July 3rd, 2021. So now we have fast forwarded 13 years and Jeffrey Epstein is no longer with us on this earth.
Remember he died in the summer of 2019.
And inexplicably in this 302 by the FBI of Leslie Groff, the names of the assistant United States attorneys and the name of the special agent are redacted, which again on its face is a violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. But Groff confirms that she worked for Jeffrey Epstein from February of 2001 until July of 2019 and that she worked in this office with several people whose names are going to sound familiar to you. I wrote them down.
Eric Gayy at the time when she started working with Epstein was Epstein’s accountant. Eventually, Gayy stopped working for Epstein and became Richard Khan, whose name you have heard a lot lately because he is one of the co-executives of Jeffrey Epstein’s estate alongside longtime attorney Darren Endike.
president of Palm Beach National Bank & Trust Company, where Epstein held accounts beginning in the early 1990s. Anderson is known for writing a 1999 character reference letter to U.S. Virgin Islands authorities describing Epstein as “a gentleman of the highest integrity” while Epstein sought tax incentives
Bella Klene was the assistant accountant. So, I’m going to stop right there. Eric Gayy and Bella Klene. I just covered their names on Katie Fang News when I was talking about H. Lloyd Anderson Jr., the late father of Betina Anderson, who is now known as Betatina Trump, new wife of Don Trump Jr. and you remember I told you that Patina’s father, her late father, was the banker in Palm Beach for Jeffrey Epstein. And Mr. Anderson, the banker, also vouched for Jeffrey Epstein to help him gain entry into the United States Virgin Islands to bring his businesses there and to also facilitate being able to live and to pretty much run his small kingdom of abuse and crime in the Virginia in the Virgin Islands.
Harry Beller is another name that comes up a lot in the Epstein orbit. Harry was a financial advisor.
Leslie Groff refers to Harry Beller as a trader because Leslie Groff believed that Jeffrey Epstein was she was the executive assistant to somebody like Epstein who was a money manager.
Darren Indyke was Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime personal attorney, but Jeffrey Schantz was also a longtime attorney involved with Epstein’s trusts and entities;
Darren Indk and Jeffrey Schantz were two attorneys that had offices in Jeffrey Epstein’s office. Lauren Quitner was the assistant to the attorneys and Ghislaine Maxwell also had an office right next to Leslie Groff and Ghislaine Maxwell’s assistant’s name remains redacted in the files.
Now, this is interesting. I want you to listen carefully because again, this is from Leslie Groff herself in 2021. This is after Jeffrey’s dead. And this is how Groff is explaining to the FBI agents what her initial responsibilities were as she started working and then it kind of stuck with that but then it kind of escalated right because she became more and more entrenched in Jeffrey Epstein’s world.
I’m going to run through some of the highlights of this 302. I invite you to take a deeper dive, but I kind of wanted to make sure that you got a picture as depicted by Leslie Grath as to her employment and her working relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And I want you to note the tone that is going to be marketkedly different than what I’m going to read to you, which was a puff piece interview with the New York Times in just a minute. All righty. So, as I said, Leslie Groff worked she had her own office in the back of Epstein’s building on Madison Avenue. But here’s the thing.
So, she said that she had to sign a non-disclosure agreement when she first came to work with Jeffrey Epstein. And she said if she spoke about business people, which included people like Les Wexner, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s biggest clients at the time, she would owe Jeffrey Epstein $100,000.
She was just overwhelmed with the people that Epstein dealt with in politics, television, etc. She never knew people who had owned a plane prior to working for Jeffrey Epstein. And she said, quote, “Epstein and Maxwell’s lives were the lifestyle of the rich and famous.” So clearly somebody who was wowed by Epstein’s orbit.
She said a lot of people traveled on Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane. Epstein would tell Leslie who to reach out to to be able to fly on the plane. And for example, Leslie would also tell the pilot Larry Vizoski when Jeffrey Epstein wanted to leave. Leslie said the lingo that Jeffrey used was “Do you need a ride?”.
Sometimes Epstein would tell Leslie who was traveling with him. Other times he would tell Larry the pilot himself.
Epstein often traveled with Ghislaine Maxwell. But Leslie Groff said Groff did not travel with Jeffrey Epstein when he went on his trips is what she claimed. Now this is interesting as well. Leslie Groff said that Ghislaine Maxwell was a big part of Epstein’s life. Maxwell introduced Epstein to a lot of people in her circle.This was Groff’s perception because Groff knew her as in Maxwell’s background.
Ghislaine Maxwell did not talk to Leslie Groff. Groff didn’t have normal conversations with Maxwell or Epstein. Maxwell told Groff, “Do not engage in frivolous conversation with Jeffrey Epstein.” Now, this is the this is the way that Epstein would have Leslie Groff schedule his massages. According to Leslie Groff, massage was a part of Epstein’s day.
They were quote normal appointments. Groff thought that Ghislaine Maxwell told her that Jeffrey Epstein had to have a massage every day. There are two names that are redacted. And in this 302 it says redacted name and redacted name trained Groff too. But Groff thought Maxwell told her that as in Epstein had to have a massage every day. It was presented like it was totally normal. redacted name and redacted name had been there prior to Groff and no one seemed like it was out of the ordinary.
Groff’s job was to make appointments to Groff. Making massage appointments was just another appointment she had to make for Epstein.
Epstein would call Groff in the morning and say something like, “Call redacted name and see if she can do a massage at 4.” Epstein would then call Groff every 15 minutes. If Gra told Epstein she could not get redacted name, for example, he would tell Grath to call someone else instead.
Every 15 minutes, Jeffrey Epstein would call Leslie Groff to have a status update on whether or not his massage had been booked for that day. Don’t you think if you’re Leslie Groff, something about that would trigger a red flag?
Like, it it’s just not normal. I’m sorry, Leslie, that’s just not normal behavior about a massage. And how many people do you know that get a massage every single day?
Now, Groff says that there was a directory of contacts. And so if you’re looking for a quote little black book, you may not find it right. You find a directory of contacts that Groff knew. She would go in and update the list. Everyone had access. It was kept on the computer in an old antiquated system according to Leslie Groff. So there are people, contacts available um to law enforcement to be able to investigate if they actually wanted and bother to do so.
Groff thought she may have scheduled massages for Epstein’s Palm Beach residence, but it was not as much. When Epstein left New York and took an assistant with him, the assistant took over the daily things in Palm Beach, New Mexico, and Paris. Now, Groff doesn’t identify her, but I am going to posit that I think that what who Groff is talking about here is Sarah Kellen because remember Sarah Kellen was the longtime personal assistant and travel companion for Jeffrey Epstein.
Groff thought Maxwell had made a thick, super thick book printed in larger type, kind of like a little black book, but really not little. It was printed and bound.
These black books were located everywhere. There was one on Leslie Groff’s desk. They were next to Epstein’s phones. Um, the books, she didn’t know where they were printed. She didn’t use the book. She used the directory of people in the computer. But she says there were quote a lot of important people in the books with their phone numbers including politicians, actors, Wall Street individuals, and royalty.
Groff was not supposed to take the book home. The book went away eventually, but Groff didn’t know when this happened.
They changed over to Mac computers. Now, the FBI agents at this time show Leslie Groff a series of different documents, one of which was called quote massuses. Groff said this document looked like something that was definitely going to be in the office that Epstein asked her to put together as in a list of quote massuses.
She said she didn’t necessarily think that this particular document shown to her by FBI agents was familiar. She didn’t recall making this document said she was not saying that she never created it, but she did recognize the names. There was another document that FBI agents showed her called quote massuses from Jan J an Leslie says I think this is what you mean by January.
And then the document stated, quote, “Last saved by Leslie Groff.” Groff says, “Look, this is definitely a list I could have put together and definitely something Epstein would have wanted, but she couldn’t recall this specific list.” Now, here’s the thing. This is how Leslie would go about scheduling the massages.
When Leslie would call someone to schedule the massage appointments, she would say something like, “Hi, redacted name. How are you? Mr. Epstein is in New York and he’s wanting to know if you can give a massage at 4.” The phone calls were short and to the point. A lot of times when Groff called, the females were at casting calls and they would not know how long they would be there. So they would have to call Groff back.
When Epstein would call back for his me for his messages, he would tell Groff to forget that one and call redacted name. As an example, Groff would call someone else and sometimes have to leave a message. She called females and one male masseuse.
Scheduling massage appointments was around 1% of Groff’s job. Groff left a lot of messages. People would not answer their phones. Sometimes people called Groff asking to see Epstein for a massage. Everyone wanted to see him.
Anytime Groff called someone, not just massage people, people just jumped to meet with Epstein.
Again, Groff thought Epstein was a money manager, but clearly was also into the massages. She says Maxwell was an office manager. This is how Groff was introduced to Maxwell. And then, of course, Maxwell trying to downplay her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Leslie Groff says otherwise. Maxwell was Epstein’s best friend. Epstein and Maxwell were confidants.
Groff knew that Epstein built Ghislaine Maxwell her house. Groff thought Epstein and Maxwell were boyfriend and girlfriend. They were very carefree.
Groff thought Epstein cared for Maxwell and she cared for him. They did not live together.
Sometimes Groff was asked to messenger money for massages and sometimes Jojo, another longtime employee of Jeffrey Epstein, would take the money for the massages to give to people. Epstein sent everything via via messenger and via FedEx. No one ever came to the office to pick up money except Jojo or a messenger. Groff never went to Epstein’s house until 2013. She did go to Epstein’s island. She also never went to the New Mexico ranch, Zoro Ranch. She claims she did not travel with Epstein.
When she went to Epstein’s island, Epstein was not on the island. Again, more details in this 302, but I want you to remember this is how it was relayed to the FBI, but compare and contrast to this.
In 2005, in February, a New York Times journalist by the name of Landon Thomas Jr., who I have covered extensively here at Katie Fang News who was a friend source um you know close to Jeffrey Epstein. He would pump Epstein for like stock tips and then he would write all these fluff pieces about Epstein. He would also try to connect Epstein with people and Epstein hooked him up with people etc. Landon Thomas Jr. somebody who eventually got let go from the New York Times understandably so because how can you be so close to Jeffrey Epstein and then be writing stories about him?
So anyway, Landon Thomas Jr. does this ridiculous piece February 5th, 2005 called Working for Top Bosses on Wall Street Has Its Perks. Now, I want you to listen to this. Jeffrey Epstein is interviewed as a part of this Landon Thomas Jr. piece. And this is how Landon Thomas Jr. describes Jeffrey Epstein. He says, “Jeffrey Epstein pays his three executive assistants more than $200,000 a year. A financier who manages the money of a small roster of billionaire clients. Epstein has an unusual philosophy about the utility of his three woman executive team, which manages his hectic life of globe trotting and hobnobbing with the likes of former President Clinton. He calls them, as in his executive assistants, including Leslie Groff, a quote, social prosthesis with an intuitive knowledge of his manifold needs and a 24-hour presence that make them virtually indispensable to his personal and business success. Now, here we go.
This is what Jeffrey Epstein said about Leslie Groff and his executive assistants. Quote, by the way, that includes Sarah Kellen. Quote, “They are an extension of my brain. Their intuition is something that I don’t have.” Accordingly, Mr. Epstein, who lives and works on a private island in theVirgin Islands, but maintains an office in New York, does not stint in compensating them. In addition to the rich payday, he also ladles on the perks.
He maintains a charge account at Frederick Fakai, the society hairdresser, for their unlimited use, and pays for all food eaten during his lengthy business hours, including takeout from the CIRC. On trips on his Boeing 727, he frequently takes two of the assistants with him.
Now, I want to stop for a second. Frederick Fakai was just a part of a request to Trump DOJ to investigate not only Fakai, but as well former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Lavine.
That referral was just done last week and it was premised on the information that was provided by Sarah Callen that she had been allegedly sexually assaulted by Fkai and by Philip Lavine.
So Fakai’s name is mentioned as far back as 2005.
Now I just said that Epstein told Landon Thomas Jr. that he frequently takes two of the assistants with him when one of them Leslie Groff So I don’t know.
Didn’t Leslie Groff say that she didn’t travel with Epstein? H when one of them, Leslie Groff, who was 38. So in 2005, Leslie was 38 at the time, became pregnant last year and talked of leaving. Epstein bought her a Mercedes Benz E320 to make her commuting easier and agreed to pay for a full-time nanny so that she could keep working for him.
Epstein, quote, “There is no way that I could lose Leslie to motherhood.” What did Leslie Groff have to say in this article? Groff said she thought she was worth the price. Quote, “It comes down to the bond. I know what he is thinking and I know when I need to be fast. It’s a nice roll we are on.” So, a Leslie Grath Jeffrey Epstein mind meld is going on here. And yet Leslie Grath wants you to believe that she had no [ __ ] idea what was going on with Jeffrey Epstein.
She worked for him from 2001 to 2019 and she had no idea that’s what she wants you to believe.
Ain’t that interesting? Let’s look at the emails that Leslie was on. Kind of makes you wonder.
Here’s an email dated October 21st, 2011. October 21st, 2011 at 9:54 a.m. Leslie Groff writes to this redacted name.
Morning. Jeffrey says he called you at 10:30 last night, but no answer. He’s wondering if you might like to stop by today with redacted name at either 3 or 7. Let me know. Thanks, Leslie.
Responds. Hey Leslie, we will we will come today at 7 p.m. Leslie then says, “Hi, redacted. Jeffree was asking if you could come now. If not, keep the 7 p.m.” To which this person responds, “Redacted name isn’t home now, and I have no way of reaching her either.” So Leslie says, “Okay, no worries. So 7 p.m. it is.
Thanks.” At 3:45, this redacted name person says, “Hey, Leslie, redacted name just got back. I spoke to her now about tonight.” Listen carefully, folks. She has never done anything of this sort before. And is a little nervous about the whole thing. I don’t know what Jeffrey has planned for tonight, but is it okay if they just meet this time? She would really feel more comfortable that way if Jeffrey would rather not. It’s okay. Let me know redacted name.
What does Leslie Groff do? She forwards that email to Jeffrey Epstein.She doesn’t say, “Hey, rejected name.
What are you talking about? What is she nervous about? What are you talking about?” No, she just forwards it to Jeffrey Epstein. If you were a woman and you received this email, wouldn’t you kind of wonder what the f is going on?
This is EFTA 921817. Here’s another one from Jeffrey Epstein. Excuse me, from Leslie Groff to Jeffrey Epstein, May 5th, 2014.
Okay, 2014.
This is after Jeffrey Epstein’s gone to jail. Got the sweetheart plea deal. Gone to jail.
Right. This is what she does. Leslie forwards this below message to Jeffrey. Says below from redacted name. Please advise. And the subject is redacted. Hello. Redacted name won’t be here May 8th, but I can bring another girl. Her name is redacted. If Jeffrey wants to let me know. Thank you. Bring another girl.
Why are we bringing girls? Why are girls that we wanting to bring nervous to be around Jeffrey Epstein? Because they don’t know quote what he has planned and she has never done anything of this sort before. That was the other one was EFTA 1924627.
Sounds like somebody who knew but had blinders on intentionally, right? Like chose not to dig in or chose not to ask questions.
Now, Leslie Groff was one of four names provided as cannot be prosecuted, cannot be indicted, cannot be prosecuted. Here are four co-conspirators, including Leslie Groff. And that was a condition of the nonprosecution agreement that Jeffrey Epstein entered into.
If you listen to what her lawyers say, her lawyers claim that she, as in Leslie Groff, had no idea that her name was going to appear in the nonprosecution agreement.
Her lawyer claims that after Epstein was arrested in 2008, he continuously lied to Leslie and other members of the staff, insisting that he had been blackmailed and set up. He said the allegations against him were simply false. He had no idea that the quote prostitute he had contact with was a minor. In Leslie’s mind, that was the reason that he was treated so leniently by law enforcement before and after he was sentenced.
And yet Leslie Groff ends up being sued alongside Jeffrey Epstein, Glenn Maxwell, and um others. And in her answer to this civil lawsuit brought by Jane Doe 43 in the Southern District of New York in 2018.
Okay, this is the first thing that she puts on the front page of her answer. This is EFTA 2820428 preliminary statement. quote, “Groff enjoys the same protections of the self-inccrimination clause of the fifth amendment to the United States Constitution as do all other persons who are potentially subject to criminal prosecution in a jurisdiction in which the fifth amendment applies.”
In other words, she invoked her fifth amendment privilege against self-inccrimination, the civil lawsuit that was brought in 2017 2018.
Okay.
In an FBI interview conducted in 2021, a victim of Jeffrey Epstein, who was under 18 at the time, described how Leslie Groff arranged her appointments with Epstein, which were massages that turned sexual right away. The victim thought it was pretty obvious Leslie knew what was going on, although Leslie never said anything to the girls.
She would tell Leslie if a friend couldn’t make it and suggest other girls. Groff arranged a payment from Epstein to cover an abortion and payments to cover accommodations when she was staying in hotels. She told Groff she couldn’t get an apartment as she was not yet 18.
Federal prosecutors ultimately never filed charges against Leslie Groff. And again, tomorrow she shows up in front of House Oversight. There’s so much more here. I don’t have the time to get into it, but I want you to understand that this is just a small sampling small sampling of Leslie Groff’s involvement in Jeffrey Epstein’s life. And I’m not just talking a random tangentially related employee. I am talking about somebody whose name appears 167,000 times in the Epstein files as currently redacted
illegally and improperly. So, can you imagine if there aren’t the redactions? And can you imagine?
Can you imagine what is left in the 3 million plus documents that acting attorney general Todd Blanch is sitting on right now? But Leslie Groff, if she does not say everything about everyone, just like Sarah Kellen, I have some serious problems because Leslie Groff wants you to believe that she just managed this man’s daily calendar. And yet, how can you possibly be on emails like that from young girls and not sit there and question what in the actual hell is going on?
Was the money worth it to sell your soul to truly a devil like Jeffrey Epstein? And yet now Leslie Groff sits in a home that is now valued at $5 million in New Canan, Connecticut, and walks her dog and does Pilates. Man, let me tell you. So, let’s see.
Let’s see what comes out of this transcribed interview of Leslie Groff tomorrow. I’m not holding my breath for some huge revelation.
Are you? So, what do we do? We keep digging. We keep digging to find out what’s behind those redactions. We keep digging to find out who else knew and was involved. I I read off a list of names of people that worked in those offices with Jeffrey Epstein that knew knew Jeffrey Epstein and what was going on, right?
Did they all have blinders on? Don’t you think they should be thoroughly investigated? Don’t you think they should give sworn testimony about what happened?Are we really asking for that much?
We’re not. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability. I’m off to rattle them some more. Rattle some more Epstein files cages.

Lesley Groff and Sarah Kellen as Epstein’s longtime executive assistants, while Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn are identified as his lawyers.
Ghislaine Maxwell’s billionaire ex-boyfriend distanced himself from both her and Jeffrey Epstein during his interview with the House Oversight Committee, telling lawmakers he “never would’ve spent six years in a romantic relationship with her” had he been aware of her crimes, according to a transcript of his testimony released by the committee.
Gateway Computer cofounder Ted Waitt told lawmakers during a closed-door appearance before the committee on April 30 that he regrets not digging into Epstein’s 2008 guilty plea, claiming that Maxwell downplayed the seriousness of his crimes.
