Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer, Darren Indyke, and his accountant, Richard Kahn, testified before the House Oversight Committee that they were never interviewed by federal investigators during the Justice Department’s probe of the late financier. In closed‑door depositions, both men said they had no knowledge of Epstein’s alleged abuse and emphasized that they now serve as co‑executors of his estate, which has already supplied thousands of documents to the congressional inquiry. They stressed that neither had been accused of aiding Epstein’s crimes and that any wrongdoing they might have witnessed would have prompted them to sever ties and report the matter to authorities.
Indyke asserted that his conversations with Epstein were limited to legal advice on business matters and that he never discussed “social relationships” or any illicit activity. Kahn, who met Epstein roughly every three weeks, said he never attended party functions, never observed sexual abuse, and never received any complaints about trafficking. Both men recounted that Epstein told them he was unaware a minor was involved in his 2008 conviction and assured them the situation would not recur. They also described how Epstein’s massive cash flows and elaborate household arrangements appeared legitimate to them at the time, and they expressed surprise that investigators might interpret those financial patterns as evidence of trafficking.
The testimony also touched on the victims‑compensation fund that Kahn and Indyke helped establish while administering Epstein’s estate, distributing tens of millions of dollars before the fund wound down in 2021. Lawmakers noted that, aside from Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction, none of the individuals interviewed have faced charges related to Epstein. The committee continues to seek interviews with other high‑profile figures connected to Epstein’s network, including former presidents, prominent financiers, and additional members of his inner circle, as they attempt to piece together how the financier amassed such wealth and evaded accountability for decades.
