House Oversight releases deposition videos of 2 key Epstein associates

The longtime attorney and one-time accountant of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein told lawmakers earlier this month that they were never questioned by federal authorities about their work for the disgraced financier, according to deposition videos released Tuesday by the House Oversight Committee.

During their hours long depositions over two days, attorney Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn provided new details about their years of work for Epstein, raising questions about the lack of scrutiny they seemingly faced from federal prosecutors after investigations began into his crimes, and why both men continued to work for Epstein despite the allegations against him following Epstein's 2008 plea deal on solicitation charges in state court.

"I drank the Kool‑Aid at the time. I think that's the answer, is I drank the Kool‑Aid at the time," Indyke told lawmakers when pressed about why he never quit working for Epstein.

Both men denied being aware of the scope of Epstein's crimes and described their relationship as strictly professional, though their decades-long work with Epstein make them some of the most knowledgeable people about Epstein's life and businesses. Indyke and Kahn serve as co-executors of Epstein's estate, were bequeathed by Epstein $50 and $25 million respectively, and managed Epstein's legal and financial affairs.
