Jeffrey Epstein's long-serving accountant gave Congress a series of contradictory answers about whether Epstein's estate paid a financial settlement to a woman who alleged abuse by both Epstein and Donald Trump, and the story kept changing for more than 48 hours after he left the room.
Richard Kahn, who worked as Epstein's accountant for more than a decade and was named a co-executor of his estate two days before Epstein's death in August 2019, testified before the House Oversight Committee in a closed-door deposition on 11 March 2026. His appearance followed months of congressional subpoenas to banks and visits to the Treasury Department as lawmakers sought to map Epstein's finances.
