Jeffrey Epstein's personal attorney told a congressional committee on Thursday that he had "no knowledge whatsoever" of his client's wrongdoings.
The US House Oversight Committee called Darren Indyke, who managed Epstein's legal affairs and estate, for questions as part of its investigation into the late financier's crimes.
Indyke said in his prepared remarks that he did not "socialise" with Epstein, and "not a single woman has ever accused me of committing sexual abuse or witnessing sexual abuse."
James Marsh, an attorney representing several of Epstein's victims, said in a statement that Indyke's "claimed ignorance of Jeffrey Epstein's widespread abuse of women and girls is deeply troubling".
The committee's Republican chairman, James Comer, told reporters that Indyke was "answering all our questions," during the closed-door interview.
