Congressional Oversight and Trump

Richard Kahn, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime accountant and co‑executor of his estate, told the House Oversight Committee he was “not aware of the nature or extent of Epstein’s abuse until after Epstein’s death” and said he would have quit had he known. Kahn testified he tracked Epstein’s spending—including payments to women and reimbursements he did not view as red flags—and Chairman James Comer said Kahn identified major payers (Les Wexner, Leon Black, Glenn Dubin, Steven Sinofsky and the Rothschilds) and denied seeing transactions to Donald Trump, while Democrats said Kahn admitted to facilitating a fake marriage and impersonating Epstein in bank communications and the committee noted ties to former Israeli PM Ehud Barak and an undisclosed settlement with an accuser who had also referenced Trump.
