House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and several Republican lawmakers have formally requested the Justice Department to investigate allegations made by Sarah Kellen, a former assistant to Jeffrey Epstein. Kellen claimed she was abused by former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine and celebrity hairstylist Frédéric Fekkai during her time working for Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. In a letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the lawmakers emphasized the need for a thorough investigation into these allegations, including the possibility of granting immunity to witnesses. Kellen's testimony, which was released alongside the letter, was described by Comer as the most substantive interview conducted by the committee, revealing new names associated with alleged abuse. Notably, Kellen reported that she had not been contacted by law enforcement regarding her experiences until after Epstein's arrest in 2019. The Oversight Committee's investigation aims to scrutinize the federal government's handling of Epstein's case and the broader network of individuals connected to him. The committee has previously interviewed notable figures, including former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and plans to continue its inquiries.
