January 2026 Congressional subpoena Indyke and Kahn, along with Epstein's former client
Les Wexner, were subpoenaed as individuals to testify before the Oversight Committee on January 23, 2026. Following the announcement of the subpoena, attorney for the estate Daniel Wiener said that Indyke and Kahn "fully intend to continue their cooperation with the Committee, including its efforts to investigate potential government wrongdoing regarding Mr. Epstein, and look forward to setting the record straight as to their lack of involvement in Mr. Epstein's misconduct." The second subpoena process saw greater bipartisanship than the first, although tensions increased during the depositions. Kahn's testimony took place in a closed session on March 11. Kahn denied knowledge of Epstein's misconduct, saying that he "was not aware of the nature or extent of Epstein's abuse of so many women until after Epstein's death" and that although he was aware of gifts given by Epstein from his role as the day-to-day manager of Epstein's financial records, he "did not see anything that suggested to [him] that Epstein was abusing or trafficking women or otherwise acting unlawfully." Comer also said that Kahn named Wexner,
Glenn Dubin,
Steven Sinofsky, and the
Rothschild family as "clients that paid money to Epstein." Indyke went on to say that if he had knowledge of Epstein's actions at the time, he would have "severed all ties" with Epstein. Comer told reporters that he asked Indyke why he continued working with Epstein following his
2008 conviction; Comer said that Indyke described it as a "one-time mistake" and that Epstein was "remorseful." Multiple Democratic members of the committee expressed doubt about Indyke's credibility, including
Dave Min,
Jasmine Crockett, and
Robert Garcia. == References ==
