Jeffrey Epstein’s former accountant told federal lawmakers Wednesday that he remained unaware of the disgraced financier’s sexual crimes throughout their professional relationship.
Richard Kahn appeared before the House Oversight Committee to answer questions about his role managing Epstein’s financial affairs. During his testimony, Kahn maintained he had no knowledge of the criminal conduct that would later lead to Epstein’s downfall.
When questioned about various payments and financial transfers Epstein made to individuals, Kahn indicated these transactions did not seem concerning at the time. He told committee members that the monetary gifts distributed by his former client failed to trigger any warning signs from his perspective.
The congressional hearing represents part of ongoing efforts by lawmakers to examine the broader network surrounding Epstein’s operations and determine what associates may have known about his illegal activities.
