Summary
House Democrats on the Oversight Committee are seeking testimony from three private investigators—Paul Lavery, Stephen Kiraly, and William Riley—who allegedly removed a significant amount of material from Jeffrey Epstein’s Palm Beach home before law enforcement executed a search in 2005. According to letters sent by the committee, lawmakers want detailed accounts of what was taken, how it was handled, and where it is now, raising concerns that potentially critical evidence may have been diverted or hidden before authorities could access it. Lawmakers say it is “incredibly troubling” that Epstein’s computers, hard drives, and other materials may have been in private hands rather than secured by law enforcement, potentially limiting what investigators—and now Congress—have been able to review. The committee has requested the preservation and production of all related materials, including digital storage, financial records, communications, and any documentation showing the chain of custody, as part of a broader effort to understand whether key evidence was effectively shielded during the early stages of the Epstein investigation. to contact me: [email protected] source: House Oversight panel seeks testimony from private investigators who removed evidence from Epstein's home - ABC News
