House oversight delays depositions for pair of Epstein associates until March
Same show, different day.
The House Committee on Oversight and Reform has postponed depositions for two longtime associates of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, pushing their testimony into March after initially scheduling at least one of their appearances for this week.
A source familiar with the committee’s planning told the Washington Examiner that lawmakers coordinated with former Epstein accountant Richard Kahn’s legal team to adjust the timing, as he was initially slated to sit for his deposition in Washington, D.C., at 10 a.m. on Wednesday.
“The committee worked with Mr. Kahn’s attorney to accommodate his schedule. The deposition will be on March 11,” the source said.

The source also said ex-Epstein lawyer Darren Indyke’s deposition has also been moved and is now expected to take place on March 19 after a subpoena initially scheduled him to testify on March 5.
Kahn and Indyke were designated as co-executors in Epstein’s last will and testament, which he signed on Aug. 8, 2019, just two days before his death. Since then, they have faced civil lawsuits alleging they enabled aspects of Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation through their management of his legal and financial affairs. Both men have denied wrongdoing and have never faced the threat of criminal inquiries.
The change in schedule shuffled the plans outlined by the committee’s ranking Democrat, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), who previously said in a Jan. 23 press release that Kahn would testify under oath in late February pursuant to a subpoena, followed by Indyke in early March. A spokesperson for Garcia’s office did not respond to the Washington Examiner.
The rescheduling also alters what had been expected to be a series of back-to-back depositions this week tied to the congressional investigation of Epstein’s network and the handling of his finances and estate after his death.
Kahn’s testimony was originally expected to precede high-profile appearances by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton, who are scheduled to testify before the committee this week in Chappaqua, New York. The former first couple previously sought to avoid testifying but later capitulated under threat of contempt of Congress. Both have vehemently denied having any close connections with Epstein.
A video of the Clintons’ testimonies is expected to be released sometime following their sit-down with lawmakers this week.
