“I was not aware of the nature or extent of Epstein’s abuse of so many women until after Epstein’s death. Had I learned of any of his horrific behavior, I would have quit work immediately.”
-Richard Kahn
In a closed door deposition on Wednesday, longtime financial manager to Jeffrey Epstein and now co-executes his estate, Richard Kahn, told members of the House Oversight Committee the estate reached a settlement with a woman who had also made accusations related to Trump. Epstein’s estate had already paid out well over $100 million to survivors through a victim compensation program.
The committee sought answers on how Epstein made his money, how he spent it and whether it was used for any illegal activities. The congressional investigators dug into Epstein’s finances for months ahead of the interview through subpoenas to banks and visits to the Treasury Department.
“We did not interact socially and I never attended any of his parties of his social functions. While Epstein was alive, I never observed any sexual abuse or trafficking of women and never received a complaint – either by one of Epstein’s victims or any one else – of such abuse or trafficking,” Kahn said in his opening statement, obtained by CNN.
Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA) dropped a bomb from the deposition telling reporters that on of Trump‘s accusers “was given a settlement” by Jeffrey Epstein’s estate.
