Lesley Groff, who worked as Jeffrey Epstein's executive assistant for over 20 years, was referenced in a forwarded email included in the latest Justice Department release of Epstein files.
The email, shared by Over Targets, involved an invite to a "very intimate" Hillary Clinton fundraiser held by Howard Lutnick at Cantor Fitzgerald on November 11, 2015.
However, her name has not appeared directly in the released files themselves.
Groff has been described in previous reports as a key figure in Epstein's operations, allegedly coordinating meetings and activities linked to his network. She is also listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in prior court cases.
US DOJ Release Millions Of Pages Of New Epstein Files
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday released more than 3 million pages of new Jeffrey Epstein files. The documents include over 2,000 videos and 180,000 images.
These files are part of an ongoing effort to disclose information under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was enacted after public and political pressure to reveal what the government knew about Epstein's abuse of underage girls and his connections to powerful figures.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the release marks the end of a comprehensive document review process, aimed at transparency and protecting the identities of sexual abuse victims.
Hundreds of lawyers reviewed the records to determine what needed to be redacted. All women other than Ghislaine Maxwell have been blacked out in the materials being released.
What's In The Files?
The new release includes previously unreleased documents, photographs, interview transcripts, call logs, and court records.
The newly released Epstein files contain several allegations that mention Donald Trump, though the Justice Department says none of the claims are verified, and no evidence of criminal wrongdoing by the president has been found.
Some of the unverified claims include callers linking Trump's name to Epstein's parties, past encounters, and alleged assaults. One complaint claimed a friend was forced into a sexual act with Trump decades ago, while another person described a mid-2000s party attended by Epstein, Trump, and others where they said young women were being "auctioned."
Other allegations in the documents include extreme and disturbing stories, such as a woman who claimed she was trafficked at age 13 and accused Trump of paying for sexual acts, statements included in the files but not supported by evidence.
Another complainant referenced alleged "calendar girl" parties at Mar-a-Lago and accused Trump and others of misconduct involving minors. These claims, like the others in the files, are unverified, unproven, and appear only as raw allegations contained in the newly released DOJ documents.
Deputy Attorney General Blanche said that neither Donald Trump nor Bill Clinton has been publicly accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein and both have said they had no knowledge of Epstein's abuse of underage girls.
Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in a New York jail cell in August 2019, one month after he was indicted on federal sex trafficking charges.
In 2008 and 2009, Epstein served time in a Florida jail after pleading guilty to soliciting prostitution from someone under the age of 18.
At the time, prosecutors had evidence that Epstein had abused underage girls in Palm Beach but agreed not to pursue federal charges in exchange for a lesser state plea deal.
In 2021, Ghislaine Maxwell, a close associate of Epstein, was convicted of sex trafficking for helping recruit underage victims and is serving a 20-year sentence in Texas.
