Summary
Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer and a co-executor of his estate, Darren Indyke, spoke behind closed doors to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Thursday and rejected multiple claims that he was involved in the late financier's sex trafficking scheme. He claimed he was unaware of the late financier's crimes. Politico obtained a copy of Indyke's prepared statement and revealed that the attorney said he did not have a social relationship with Epstein and that he was among several lawyers who consulted the billionaire. “Let me be clear: I had no knowledge whatsoever of Jeffrey Epstein’s wrongdoings,” Indyke told congressional members, according to the written statement. “My complete lack of involvement in that misconduct is a matter of record: not a single woman has ever accused me of committing sexual abuse or witnessing sexual abuse, nor claimed at any time that she or anyone else reported to me any allegation of Mr. Epstein’s abuse.”Indyke's testimony comes as the public and a growing number of lawmakers have pushed for the Department of Justice to hold people who were involved in Epstein's operation accountable. “My primary role was to provide corporate, transactional and general legal services to Mr. Epstein and his companies, and I did so,” Indyke said in his prepared comment.He told congressional investigators that he was appointed as a co-executor of Epstein's estate in 2019 under the U.S. Virgin Islands probate court. Indyke said he has cooperated with the DOJ and also helped create the Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program.Indyke also denied any involvement in organizing "sham marriages" for women involved with Epstein, which was an allegation mentioned in a complaint filed by the government of the U.S. Virgin Islands. “That I did not know what my client did in his private life may be difficult for some to believe, but it is true,” Indyke said.The House Oversight Committee has held multiple private hearings over the Epstein files, including testimony from former Victoria’s Secret CEO Les Wexner and another co-executor of Epstein’s estate Richard Kahn. Attorney General Pam Bondi has been subpoenaed to testify and her deposition is scheduled for April 14, where she will be questioned on the DOJ's handling of the Epstein files and her compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act signed by President Donald Trump in November 2025.
