Ranking Member Robert Garcia Statement on Deposition of Epstein Lawyer Darren Indyke
Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, released the following statement after Darren Indyke, long-time lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein and co-executor of Epstein’s estate, was deposed by the Oversight Committee. Survivors have shared with the Committee that Darren Indyke and Epstein accountant Richard Kahn may have known about Epstein’s activities and helped facilitate his crimes through their management of his legal and financial affairs.
“Darren Indyke played a central role in facilitating Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of women and girls and managing legal strategies that helped Epstein avoid government scrutiny. In his deposition before the Committee, Indyke would not confirm or deny a settlement with Jane Doe 4, who accused Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein of abuse when she was a minor. However, he confirmed the existence of hard drives held by Epstein’s private investigators. These hard drives are of great interest to our committee. Survivors and victims of Jeffrey Epstein deserve to know the truth. Oversight Democrats will not stop until there’s full transparency about everyone complicit in Epstein’s crimes,” said Ranking Member Robert Garcia.
Oversight Democrats are eager to secure the hard drives held by Epstein’s private investigators. The subpoenas for Richard Kahn and Darren Indyke, close associates of Jeffrey Epstein, were issued after successful motions offered by Oversight Democrats and adopted on a bipartisan basis. Richard Kahn’s subpoena can be found here and Darren Indyke’s subpoena can be found here.
