One of the co-executors of Jeffrey Epstein’s estate testified before a congressional panel on Wednesday that the deceased sex criminal had at least five wealthy clients that paid him for various financial services.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) told reporters Richard Kahn confirmed former Victoria’s Secret CEO Les Wexner, investor Leon Black, hedge fund manager Glen Dubin, businessman Steven Sinofsky and the Rothschild family were all patrons of Epstein’s services.
“What Kahn said is he was under the impression that Epstein made his money as a tax adviser and a financial planner,” Comer said, adding that “he had never seen any type of transaction to Trump or anyone in his family.”
Kahn is the fifth witness in the Oversight Committee’s investigation to have exonerated President Trump of any wrongdoing related to Epstein — joining Wexner, former President Bill Clinton, ex-Labor Secretary and South Florida US Attorney Alex Acosta as well as former Attorney General Bill Barr.
In an opening statement, Kahn told Oversight panel members and staff that he was “not aware of the nature or extent of Epstein’s abuse of so many women until after Epstein’s death.”
The accountant also testified that Epstein said his 2008 guilty plea in Florida to soliciting a minor for prostitution was “a mistake, that he did not know the woman was underage, and that nothing like that would happen again.”
“I believed him at the time and never saw what appeared to be a minor in his presence,” Kahn added. “Had I learned of any of his horrific behavior, I would have quit work immediately.”
