12:31Now PlayingAttorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian cover the House Oversight Committee transcript of Lesley Groff, Jeffrey Epstein's executive assistant for 18 years, whose name appears over 160,000 times in the Epstein files. Groff testified under oath that she connected phone calls between Epstein and Donald Trump "multiple times a year" for "at least a decade." She started working for Epstein in 2001, making the calls extend to roughly 2011, well past 2004-2005 when Trump claims he cut Epstein off, and years after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor. JD Vance said on The View last week that "Jeffrey Epstein hated Donald Trump" and they stopped being friends after Trump reported him to police. The transcript contradicts that. Groff described their relationship as "friendly." Brian and Shant note the credibility issues: Groff claimed she never suspected anything improper despite scheduling daily massages with young women for a registered sex offender for 11 years after his conviction. She called the women "fortunate to be in his orbit." Democrats on the committee called her testimony "not remotely credible" on that front. But the Trump phone call timeline is specific, quantified, and under oath. The White House has no comment.
