Richard Kahn, Jeffrey Epstein’s long-time accountant, appeared before the House Oversight Committee to address his role in managing the late sex offender’s vast and complex fortune.
Eko Hot Blog reports that despite managing Epstein’s finances for over a decade, Kahn maintained that he never observed any suspicious patterns that would have alerted him to the ongoing abuse.

Kahn expressed deep regret for any unwitting assistance he may have provided but insisted that Epstein’s massive yearly expenditures, which included frequent gifts to various men and women, did not strike him as evidence of trafficking at the time.
“I did not see anything that suggested to me that Epstein was acting unlawfully,” Kahn told the committee, adding that he would have “quit work immediately” had he known the truth.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) noted that Kahn was cooperative, confirming five primary clients who paid significant sums to Epstein: Les Wexner, Glenn Dubin, Steven Sinofsky, the Rothschilds, and Leon Black.
Comer highlighted that Kahn’s testimony showed no financial transactions linked to President Donald Trump or his family, though Democratic members noted that Kahn admitted Epstein spoke about Trump “frequently.”
The deposition was marked by sharp criticism from Democratic lawmakers. Rep.
Robert Garcia (D-CA) argued that Epstein’s trafficking operations could not have functioned without the consistent financial services provided by his inner circle.
Garcia revealed that Kahn made several startling admissions, including impersonating Epstein in communications with banks and helping facilitate “fake marriages” for women connected to the billionaire, claims that Kahn’s defense team continues to deny.
Kahn, who continues to serve as a co-executor of the Epstein estate, defended his role by pointing to his work with the Epstein Victim Compensation Fund, which has resolved claims for over 130 survivors.
However, committee members remain skeptical, with some suggesting that the sophisticated web of LLCs and shell companies managed by Kahn was intentionally designed to hide the nature of Epstein’s crimes.
The investigation is set to intensify next week with the deposition of the estate’s other executor, lawyer Darren Indyke, scheduled for March 19.
