A former assistant to Jeffrey Epstein appears to have played a much more damning role than Republicans would like to believe, alleged a Democratic member of the House Oversight Committee.
"Sarah Kellen comes up a lot," said Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA) said Saturday on MS NOW, speaking about the Epstein files. "She was essentially a gatekeeper for Epstein. She was paramount in making him available to be able to do these heinous crimes."
The House Oversight Committee has scheduled Kellen, who started working as Epstein's assistant in 2000, to testify May 21 in a transcribed interview as part of its investigations into the disgraced financier's connections.
Subramanyam, a member of the committee, explained that Kellen is "unique" as she was "essentially an executive assistant, a scheduler and an operator for a lot of Jeffrey Epstein's activities."

After Epstein received the slap on the wrist conviction in the state of Florida (light jail sentence) in 2008, Ghislaine Maxwell cut ties with Epstein at his suggestion. Epstein didn't want Maxwell to be dragged down along with him. Therefore she no longer worked for him or with him as a result, even though they remained good friends.
So I believe this Sarah Kellen became Epstein's "office manager" as a replacement for Ghislaine Maxwell. Also I think there was someone in the Little Saint James office who did the same. These women answered the phone, got the mail, and made appointments for Epstein, but they HAD TO KNOW something else was going on. It doesn't necessarily mean they participated, in the same manner than Maxwell did.
