Epstein accountant Richard Kahn says he never saw financier make payments to Trump

WASHINGTON, DC: Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime accountant Richard Kahn told lawmakers he never saw any financial transactions involving Donald Trump, according to comments shared by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer on Wednesday, March 11, 2026.

Kahn, who serves as a co-executor of Epstein’s estate, testified behind closed doors as part of the committee’s ongoing investigation into how federal authorities handled Epstein’s case.

Richard Kahn says he never saw Epstein payments to Donald Trump

Speaking to reporters after the deposition, Comer said Kahn made it clear under oath that he had never come across payments made by Epstein to Trump or members of the president’s family.

“Mr. Kahn testified under oath that - because the Democrats asked this question - that he had never seen any type of transaction to Trump or anyone in his family,” Comer said.

The testimony adds to a growing list of witnesses who have given similar statements during the inquiry, according to the Republican lawmaker.

“That makes the fifth witness now that's testified under oath that they've never seen any involvement by Donald Trump or the family,” Comer added.

Richard Kahn names five individuals who paid money to Jeffrey Epstein

During the deposition, Kahn also confirmed that several wealthy individuals had transferred significant sums of money to Epstein over the years.

Comer said the accountant named five people who had financial dealings with Epstein: former Victoria’s Secret CEO Les Wexner, hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin, businessman Steven Sinofsky, members of the Rothschild family and investor Leon Black.

Epstein was believed to have worked as a financial adviser for each of them.

According to Comer, Kahn explained that his understanding was that Epstein built his wealth through advisory work involving taxes and financial planning.

“What Kahn said is he was under the impression that Epstein made his money as a tax advisor and a financial planner,” Comer told reporters.

“So, these were the five people that transferred significant sums of money to Epstein,” he added.

The deposition is one of several being conducted by the House Oversight Committee as lawmakers continue to examine the financial relationships surrounding Epstein.

Lawmaker offers different account of testimony about alleged settlement

Not everyone present interpreted Kahn’s testimony the same way

Representative Suhas Subramanyam, a Democrat from Virginia, offered a different description of part of the deposition while speaking with reporters.

Subramanyam said Kahn mentioned a situation involving a person who had accused Trump.

According to the congressman, Kahn said that “a person who was an accuser of Donald Trump was given a settlement by Jeffrey Epstein's estate.”

However, the comment did not necessarily mean that the settlement was directly connected to Trump.

Soon after the remarks circulated, a person familiar with the deposition provided clarification.

The individual said earlier statements about the matter were inaccurate and explained that the confusion arose during a discussion involving someone identified as Jane Doe 4.

“Earlier testimony from Kahn about the Trump accuser receiving a settlement from the Epstein estate is incorrect,” the person familiar with the deposition said.

They added that when Democrats asked questions about Jane Doe 4, they were referring to someone else entirely.

“Kahn’s attorneys went back on the record to clarify that the person the Dems thought was Jane Doe 4 was not an individual they had ever heard of,” the person said.

Kahn's testimony also referenced financial dealings with another head of state

Subramanyam also told reporters that Kahn’s testimony included references to financial transactions involving another global leader.

According to the Virginia lawmaker, Kahn said “there was another head of state that was mentioned as having financial transactions with Jeffrey Epstein.”

Subramanyam did not provide further details or identify the individual.
