Epstein’s Accountant VINDICATES President Trump, Names Individuals Who Fueled His Wealth


Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime accountant Richard Kahn testified before the House Oversight Committee today.

There are two major takeaways from his closed-door deposition.

Firstly, Kahn confirmed that President Trump had nothing to do with Epstein.

This marks the fifth person to vindicate President Trump in their testimony.

I think it’s safe to say, by now, that the Democrat narrative that tried to tie Trump to Epstein is dead and buried!

Secondly — and perhaps, more importantly — Kahn provided the names of several clients that he says contributed millions to Epstein’s massive wealth.

Those names are:

  • Les Wexner, former Victoria’s Secret CEO
  • Leon Black, former Apollo Global Management CEO
  • Steven Sinofsky, former Microsoft Windows Division President
  • Glenn Dubin, hedge fund investor
  • The Rothschilds, global banking family

Watch what Rep. Comer had to say here:

Richard Kahn maintained his own innocence throughout his testimony.

He claims that he was not aware of Epstein’s crimes until after his alleged ‘suicide.’

Per CBS News:

An accountant who worked closely with Jeffrey Epstein for more than a decade and serves as an executor of his estate told members of Congress on Wednesday that he “was not aware of the nature or extent of Epstein’s abuse of so many women until after Epstein’s death.”

Richard Kahn was one of Epstein’s closest associates in his final years, managing his finances, investments and other minutiae, such as renovations on Epstein’s private Caribbean island. He was subpoenaed to appear before the House Oversight Committee, and testified behind closed doors that he did not socialize with Epstein.

“Had I learned of any of his horrific behavior, I would have quit work immediately,” he said, according to his prepared opening statement, which was provided to CBS News.

Democratic Rep. Suhas Subramanyam of Virginia said during a lunch break that Kahn told the committee the Epstein’s estate had reached a settlement with a person who had also made accusations related to President Trump. Subramanyam did not give further detail on what was said about that settlement or the accuser.

Early Wednesday, Subramanyam said the committee learned of “another head of state” that was mentioned as having financial transactions with Epstein. He later clarified he was referring to former Israel Prime Minister Ehud Barak, whose deep financial ties to Epstein are well-known.

In Kahn’s prepared remarks, he said Epstein had “substantial yearly expenditures and a large staff.”

“We tracked the expenditures as meticulously as possible, including gifts by Epstein to women and men. The gifts represent a very small fraction of Epstein’s spending,” Kahn said. “I did not see them as red flags for abuse or trafficking.”

Kahn told the committee he “did not see anything that suggested to me that Epstein was abusing or trafficking women or otherwise acting unlawfully.”

“However, it pains me to think — and I deeply regret — that I may have unknowingly assisted Epstein in any way,” he said.

Multiple individuals who were implicated in Kahn’s testimony are speaking out and denying his claims.

Politico shared some statements:

Wexner told the Oversight committee in February he had no knowledge of Epstein’s crimes during the time of their business relationship. Black received a letter from Comer last week requesting his testimony.

A spokesperson for Black has said previously that he looked forward to answering the committee’s questions about Epstein, who was hired “for tax and estate planning work.” The spokesperson said Wednesday that Kahn provided no new information to lawmakers.

A spokesperson for Wexner, in a statement, refuted Kahn’s claims.

“Mr. Wexner did not transfer money to Epstein,” the spokesperson said. “Epstein was retained to provide wealth management services for well over a decade, for which he was paid for his services. In addition, Epstein stole funds from Mr. Wexner, about $100 million of which Mr. Wexner was able to recover.”

A spokesperson for Dubin also denied Kahn’s account, specifically that he was an Epstein client. Epstein was reportedly paid $15 million as part of JPMorgan Chase’s purchase of Highbridge Capital Management, which Dubin founded.

Sinofsky declined to comment, while a spokesperson for the Edmond de Rothschild bank did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

None of these individuals have been formally charged in connection to Epstein’s crimes and neither has Kahn. And before the deposition got underway Wednesday morning, Comer told reporters that he had “no reason to suspect” the accountant was guilty of misconduct.

Another executor of Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, lawyer Darren Indyke, will be questioned by the House Oversight Committee on March 19th.

It will be interesting to see if he can shed more light on things…
