GOP lawmakers seek sex assault investigation of ex-Miami Beach Mayor amid Epstein probe

Republican lawmakers are urging the Department of Justice to investigate former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine after allegations of sexual assault by former Epstein assistant Sarah Kellen during a House Oversight Committee hearing. Kellen claimed Levine, a close associate of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, forced himself on her at a rented Saint Tropez house in 2002 or 2003. Levine's spokesperson denied the allegations, stating the encounter was consensual.
