From businessmen to politicians at the highest levels, Epstein broke bread with them all. Yet for years the Legacy media and the rest of high society looked the other way and ignored his behavior as multiple women came forward with allegations of abuse. Even after he was convicted and subsequently received a sweetheart deal those same so called elites welcomed him back with open arms. Now after his death and the arrest of Maxwell, the real story is starting to come together and the curtain has begun to be drawn back and what it has revealed is truly disturbing. From Princes to Ex Presidents, the cast of scoundrels in this play spans continents and political affiliations leaving us with a transcontinental criminal conspiracy possibly unlike any we have ever seen before. In this podcast we will explore all of the levels of Jeffrey Epstein and his criminal enterprise. From his most trusted assistants to obscure associates, we will leave no stone unturned as we swim through the muck searching for clarity and answers to some of the most pressing questio…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-25T16:18:16.653536+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394"},"episode":{"title":"Lesley Groff And The Transcript From Her Epstein Related Trip to Congress (Part 14) (7/11/26)","slug":"lesley-groff-and-the-transcript-from-her-epstein-related-trip-to-congress-part-14-7-11-26","published_at":"2026-07-11T15:00:18+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394/lesley-groff-and-the-transcript-from-her-epstein-related-trip-to-congress-part-14-7-11-26","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/lesley-groff-and-the-transcript-from-her-epstein-related-trip-to-congress-part-14-7-11-26--72891542","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72891542/a874b515_70e1_4fac_8ba1_a104dfc57c42.mp3","summary":"Lesley Groff told the House Oversight Committee that she worked for Jeffrey Epstein from February 2001 until July 2019 as his secretary/administrative assistant, handling scheduling, calls, travel coordination, calendars, and staff logistics. Her central position was that Epstein kept her separated from his criminal life, that she never witnessed abuse, never had a victim disclose abuse to her, and did not knowingly help Epstein or Maxwell commit crimes. She described Epstein as a “master manipulator” who lied to her and kept his “legitimate” world apart from his abuse, while acknowledging that she scheduled massage appointments when Epstein provided names and numbers, sometimes circulated calendars that included those appointments early on, and understood the massages as routine at the time. She said she did not personally meet the massage providers, did not know they were minors or young women, and assumed they were masseuses, even though members pressed her on why an extremely wealthy man would use rotating names and phone numbers instead of a professional massage service. The questioning also focused heavily on Epstein’s network and whether Groff had knowledge of powerful men being provided access to girls or young women through Epstein or Maxwell. Groff repeatedly answered no when asked whether she had arranged massages for prominent figures, knew of sexual activity involving minors or young women, or knew of anyone who knowingly facilitated Epstein’s crimes. She acknowledged scheduling or connecting Epstein with high-profile contacts, including Prince Andrew, Ehud Barak, Larry Summers, George Mitchell, John Kerry, Wesley Clark, Bill Clinton-related circles, and Donald Trump phone calls, but denied arranging Trump travel during her employment and denied knowledge…","meta_description":"Lesley Groff told the House Oversight Committee that she worked for Jeffrey Epstein from February 2001 until July 2019 as his secretary/administrative ass…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":750,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394/episodes/lesley-groff-and-the-transcript-from-her-epstein-related-trip-to-congress-part-14-7-11-26/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394/lesley-groff-and-the-transcript-from-her-epstein-related-trip-to-congress-part-14-7-11-26.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
