House Oversight Committee to depose Epstein's longtime accountant
Source: ABC News
The House Oversight Committee is set to depose Jeffrey Epstein's longtime accountant on Wednesday, potentially shedding light on how the disgraced financier was able to manage his multimillion-dollar fortune.
Richard Kahn served as Epstein's accountant for over a decade, and some of Epstein's victims allege he played an instrumental role in creating the "complex financial infrastructure" that enabled the financier's crimes.
Kahn has consistently denied any wrongdoing and says he was unaware of Epstein's crimes while serving as his accountant. The closed-door deposition -- a recording of which is expected to be released by the committee -- could provide a rare window into how Epstein paid for his lavish lifestyle and funneled thousands of dollars to his victims.
While some of the recent witnesses deposed by the House Oversight Committee -- including Bill and Hillary Clinton and retail billionaire Leslie Wexner -- have drawn immense publicity, the interviews have largely left unchanged the public's understanding of Epstein's life and crimes.
