Lawmakers ask DOJ to investigate additional alleged abusers named by former Epstein assistant

Kellen’s testimony led lawmakers to seek a Justice Department probe into alleged abuse by Philip Levine and Frédéric Fekkai, with immunity among tools requested.

  • On Thursday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer asked the Justice Department to investigate abuse allegations raised by Sarah Kellen, a longtime assistant to Jeffrey Epstein.
  • Testifying last month, Kellen—who began working for Epstein around 2000—described years of sexual and psychological abuse by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell while under their control.
  • Kellen alleged abuse by former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine and celebrity hairstylist Frédéric Fekkai, noting she was not contacted by law enforcement until July 2019.
  • In a letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Comer urged the Justice Department to investigate these allegations and "any other criminal conduct committed by" Levine and Fekkai.
  • Lawmakers continue examining Epstein's network and federal case handling, recently interviewing high-profile witnesses including former President Bill Clinton and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
