US House Oversight Committee Targets Epstein's Inner Circle in Subpoenas to Testify
The House Oversight Committee has formally issued subpoenas to three individuals at the center of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal - billionaire Les Wexner, former lawyer Darren Indyke, and accountant Richard Kahn. The committee is seeking direct testimony from these key associates as part of its investigation into Epstein's inner circle.
The move comes after months of scrutiny and allegations that Epstein's associates played a significant role in his sex trafficking network. Democrats on the Oversight Committee have been pushing for these subpoenas, with Rep. Robert Garcia stating, "We will not stop until we get answers."
Indyke, who worked closely with Epstein from 1986 to the 1990s, helped establish the financier's corporate and personal base of operations in the US Virgin Islands. He was paid millions of dollars for his services, according to court documents.
Kahn, another key associate, managed Epstein's finances and investments. The two men recently settled a lawsuit alleging they facilitated Epstein's trafficking network, with court documents showing they were accused of facilitating sham marriages between women Epstein was abusing for immigration purposes.
Wexner, billionaire founder of The Limited clothing company, worked as Epstein's financial manager from the mid-1980s until their partnership ended in 2006. Despite parting ways after Epstein's arrest, Wexner remained a key figure in the financier's inner circle.
Attorney Brad Edwards, who has represented many Epstein victims, believes that these individuals hold crucial information about Epstein's activities. "Epstein is dead. If anyone has questions they would ask of Epstein on any topic, those questions should either be directed to Darren, Rich or Leslie [Wexner]," he said.
The House Oversight Committee has issued several subpoenas to key figures in Epstein's network since August, with former U.S. Attorney General William Barr testifying about his pledge to personally lead the investigation into Epstein's death. The panel has recommended holding former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt after they refused to appear in person before the Republican-led committee.
Other testimony sessions have taken place, but new information on Epstein's activities remains scarce. Ghislane Maxwell, Epstein's former girlfriend who is serving 20 years in federal prison for a sex trafficking conviction, is scheduled to testify before the committee in February.
