Richard Kahn, the former longtime accountant and co-executor for Jeffrey Epstein, is scheduled to testify before the United States House Committee on Oversight and Accountability on Wednesday.
Kahn’s appearance follows last week’s five-hour deposition of billionaire Leslie Wexner, who denied any knowledge of Epstein’s criminal conduct involving minors. Lawmakers are examining financial records, estate management decisions and communications tied to Epstein’s operations.
Kahn, who managed Epstein’s finances for years, also appeared to oversee property renovations, vehicle matters and other personal expenses. Emails released by the Department of Justice show Kahn’s name recurring in financial discussions. His inclusion in the files does not indicate criminal wrongdoing.
Emails Detail Tuition Payments and Travel Arrangements
In a September 2017 email titled “Re: Visa Switzerland,” Epstein wrote that “richard (khan) has decided to pay for your school, that’s all they need to know he gives out scholarships.” Subsequent correspondence shows Kahn discussing tuition payments, bank documentation and sponsorship letters related to the same matter.
Other emails indicate Kahn assisted in arranging flights for Epstein. In one October 2011 exchange, a request was made to book a private plane from Teterboro to Bedford, Massachusetts. Kahn responded that he was working with a charter company to accommodate the request despite short notice requirements.
Kahn also communicated with Epstein’s then-girlfriend, Karyna Shuliak, regarding the transfer of American Express reward points at Epstein’s direction.
Estate Settlement and Subpoena Demands
Kahn and fellow co-executor Darren Indyke previously reached a $35 million settlement tied to a victim class-action lawsuit involving Epstein’s estate.
In August, the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed documents from the estate’s executors. Lawmakers are seeking Epstein’s will, records related to the 2007 non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida, and any materials that could reference potential client lists or visitor logs spanning nearly three decades.
The committee’s investigation remains ongoing as lawmakers continue pressing for additional documentation and testimony related to Epstein’s financial network and estate management.
