Republicans urge investigation into two men accused of abuse by Epstein assistant

Hair stylist Frederic Fekkai and ex-Miami Beach mayor Philip Levine accused in new testimony, lawmakers reveal

Republican lawmakers have asked the Department of Justice to investigate sexual assault allegations involving two men made by Jeffrey Epstein's longtime assistant.

In a transcribed closed-door interview in late May, as part of a congressional investigation into Epstein, Sarah Kellen, one of the late sex offender's former aides, told the House oversight and reform committee she was sexually and psychologically abused" by him during her employment - but also alleged she was sexually assaulted by the French celebrity hairstylist Frederic Fekkai, and by Philip Levine, the former mayor of Miami Beach, in separate incidents in the early 2000s.
