In House depositions, disgraced financier’s associates say they were not contacted after his 2008 plea deal
Jeffrey Epstein’s accountant and his attorney have both said that federal government investigators never interviewed them about the late financier’s crimes and their work with him, according to deposition videos released by the House of Representatives’ oversight committee.
Richard Kahn, Epstein’s accountant, and Darren Indyke, Epstein’s lawyer, said in hours of closed-door interviews with the committee that they did not witness, nor were involved in, any wrongdoing relating to Epstein, who died in 2019 after being charged with child sex trafficking.
Both said that they were not interviewed by federal investigators about their knowledge of Epstein, again highlighting the large gaps in the justice department’s work in holding Epstein and his associates accountable for his crimes.
Kahn said in his deposition that he has “never been questioned by any government authority”, while Indyke said “I don’t think I was” when asked if any law enforcement agency had questioned him about Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell, his accomplice.
