GOP pushes DOJ to probe Epstein-linked assault claims against two men

TL;DR Summary
House Republicans on the Oversight Committee urge the DOJ to investigate sexual assault allegations made by Epstein’s former assistant Sarah Kellen against Frédéric Fekkai and Philip Levine, based on a May closed-door interview. The letter asks the department to use all tools, including witness immunity, to probe possible criminal conduct by the two men, who deny any wrongdoing. Epstein died in 2019; Levine’s name appears hundreds of times in Epstein files, and Fekkai is described in the letter as having had a grooming-related role. The panel says its job is oversight, not law enforcement, but will refer the claims to DOJ for investigation.
