yahoo news | Deposition videos released Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime lawyer and friend

**Deposition videos released – Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime lawyer and friend**
*Wed, March 25, 2026 at 2:33 PM UTC*

House lawmakers released deposition videos of attorney Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn. In the recordings, both men say that federal authorities never questioned them about the work they performed for convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The videos, disclosed during a congressional hearing on the ongoing investigation into Epstein’s network, show Indyke and Kahn asserting that they provided standard legal and financial services and were unaware of any illegal activity. They describe their professional relationship with Epstein as limited to routine representation and bookkeeping, and claim they were never asked to explain the nature of the fees or transactions they handled.

qwant news | Takeaways from videos of ex-Epstein attorney, accountant closed-door testimony on Capitol Hill

The House Oversight Committee released videos of closed‑door depositions with Darren Indyke, a longtime Epstein attorney, and Richard Kahn, the financier’s longtime accountant, as part of its investigation into the late convicted sex offender. Both men, who now serve as co‑executors of Epstein’s estate, appeared before the committee earlier this month and were questioned by Democrats and Republicans about their decades‑long relationships with Epstein and how he made and spent his money. They each denied having any prior knowledge of Epstein’s sexual‑abuse crimes.

Indyke testified that he had no knowledge of wrongdoing, saying his interactions with Epstein were limited to legal advice on business matters and that he never discussed “social relationships” with the billionaire. He acknowledged hearing that Epstein had engaged in under‑age sexual activity in Florida but believed it was confined to that state. Kahn, who began working for Epstein in 2005, said he only saw Epstein every three weeks, never attended his social events, and never observed any abuse or trafficking. Both men maintained that, had they known about the abuse, they would have left their positions immediately.

As co‑executors, Indyke and Kahn helped establish a victims’ compensation fund that disbursed roughly $125 million before winding down in 2021. Indyke explained that settlements of claims were often reached for practical reasons such as litigation costs, not because he fully understood the depth of the crimes. The estate’s trust revealed substantial bequests to both men—$50 million to Indyke and $25 million to Kahn—prompting questions about their roles in Epstein’s wealth accumulation. Kahn emphasized he had no part in creating Epstein’s companies, while Indyke described large cash withdrawals as legitimate business expenses, underscoring the ongoing scrutiny of their involvement in Epstein’s financial affairs.

yahoo news | Epstein's accountant and lawyer tell Congress they were never interviewed by...

Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn testified before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that they were never interviewed by federal investigators as part of any formal DOJ probe into Epstein’s sex‑trafficking crimes. In hour‑long depositions released on Tuesday, both men denied having any prior knowledge of Epstein’s illegal activities and said the financier told them, during the 2008 conviction, that he was unaware of his involvement with a minor. They also recounted why they continued to work for Epstein after earlier allegations surfaced, with Indyke describing himself as a “very loosely” attached member of Epstein’s defense team who “drank the Kool‑Aid,” and Kahn explaining that financial pressures during the 2008 crisis led him to stay on as client despite his regrets.

Indyke and Kahn, who now serve as co‑executors of Epstein’s estate, have faced scrutiny from lawmakers who view them as possible enablers of Epstein’s conduct. Rep. David Min (D‑Calif.) suggested Indyke may have perjured himself when he claimed ignorance of the crimes. Both men have also highlighted the estate’s cooperation with the committee, providing materials such as the “birthday book” that allegedly contains a lewd note purportedly from President Donald Trump—something Trump has denied. Additionally, they discussed efforts to establish a compensation program that has already distributed millions to dozens of women who filed claims against Epstein.

The testimony comes as the Justice Department and congressional investigators intensify pressure to achieve broader criminal accountability, noting that only Ghislaine Maxwell has been charged so far. Attorney General Pam Bondi affirmed that the DOJ is actively probing potential conspirators linked to Epstein, though no names have been disclosed. The Oversight panel is set to interview further witnesses, including Bill Gates and financier Leon Black, as it seeks additional evidence and possible subpoenas to advance the investigation.

Congress | Epstein's accountant and lawyer tell Congress they were never interviewed by federal investigators by By Hailey Fuchs

Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn told House lawmakers they were never interviewed as part of formal federal investigations into their late client's sex crimes, according to videos of their depositions released Tuesday.

Their claims underscore the enormous gaps in the Justice Department’s efforts to hold Epstein and his inner circle accountable over multiple administrations of both parties.

It also could raise the stakes for the ongoing Epstein investigation being led by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which is already being relied upon to gather new evidence after the Trump Justice Department signaled it would no longer be releasing additional Epstein case files in compliance with the law Congress passed last fall.
