Summary from the AllSides News Team
Jeffrey Epstein's accountant, Richard Kahn, and lawyer, Darren Indyke, claimed federal investigators never interviewed them about the infamous sex offender, according to depositions released on Tuesday.
The Details: The two men made the claims to the House Oversight Committee in March amid the ongoing investigation into Epstein. Khan reportedly said he had "never been questioned by any government authority" prior to the House panel, though he did receive subpoenas for Epstein's will and 1953 trust. Indyke said he gave two depositions related to Epstein's estate.

For Context: Both Khan and Indyke continued working for Epstein, despite the accusations of sexual misconduct of which he was later convicted. Khan claimed, "I had a family to support, so I made the wrong decision in staying." Indyke distanced himself from the case as "very loosely" part of Epstein's defense team amid the accusations and said he "drank the Kool-Aid."
How The Media Covered It: Outlets on the left covered this story extensively, while coverage on the right was more sparse. Politico (Lean Left) initially broke the story. The outlet criticized both Democrats and Republicans by saying the associates' claims "underscore the enormous gaps in the Justice Department's efforts to hold Epstein and his inner circle accountable over multiple administrations of both parties." Both NBC News (Lean Left) and Newsmax (Right) published similar analyses, exhibiting some common ground across the political spectrum.
