James Comer

Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's longtime assistant, Sarah Kellen, gave the House Oversight Committee the names of three new alleged abusers during closed-door testimony today, according to Representative James Comer, a Kentucky Republican who chairs the committee.

Comer told reporters after the Thursday hearing that Kellen had given the committee "what we’ve been waiting for." He said she also shared details about the alleged abuse she herself received from Epstein, despite working for him for years.

Kellen was previously named as a "potential co-conspirator" with Epstein when he was convicted in what has been described as a "sweetheart deal" on Florida state charges in 2008 of procuring a minor for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute. Ahead of the Thursday hearing, Kellen spoke with MS Now's senior legal reporter Lisa Rubin, telling her that she herself was a victim of the now deceased financier.
