Jeffrey Epstein's longtime personal attorney, Estate of Jeffrey Epstein, testified before the United States===United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, stating he was unaware of Epstein's sexual abuse of underage girls. This testimony is part of an ongoing investigation into Epstein's associates, many of whom, including Richard Kahn, Les Wexner, and Bill Clinton, have also denied knowledge of the abuse. Democrats on the committee expressed frustration with Indyke's 'defensive' posture and accused him and Kahn of covering up for Jeffrey Epstein. Indyke and Kahn, as executors of Epstein's estate, previously settled a class-action lawsuit with survivors for up to $35 million without admitting wrongdoing. The committee is pushing for the release of more documents related to Epstein's estate and a lawsuit filed by survivor Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell. The investigation has become increasingly politicized, with Democrats questioning an uncorroborated accusation against Donald Trump, which Republicans dismiss as a political fixation.
