[杰弗里·爱泼斯坦]的核心圈成员莱斯·韦克斯纳（Les Wexner）、达伦·因迪克（Darren Indyke）和理查德·卡恩（Richard Kahn）于周五被正式传唤，作为这名已定罪性犯罪者的关键同伙，需在众议院监督委员会面前作证。
“监督委员会的民主党人努力争取到了这些传票，并迫使共和党人进行投票。现在，委员会将直接听取与爱泼斯坦核心圈关系最密切的个人的证词。我们将一直追究，直到获得答案。”监督委员会最高民主党人、加利福尼亚州众议员罗伯特·加西亚（Robert Garcia）在一份声明中表示。
爱泼斯坦的律师因迪克、其会计师卡恩以及亿万富翁金融客户兼长期资助者韦克斯纳被爱泼斯坦受害者认定为调查的关键人物。早期诉讼中及美国司法部近期公布的文件[显示了]爱泼斯坦与这三人之间复杂且纠缠不清的关系。
因迪克和卡恩的律师丹尼尔·H·韦纳（Daniel H. Weiner）向CBS新闻表示，两人接受了传票并打算与委员会合作，但补充说传票中的指控“是虚假的”。
“值得强调的是，从未有女性指控因迪克先生或卡恩先生实施性虐待或目睹性虐待，也从未有女性声称向他们报告过任何关于爱泼斯坦虐待的指控。”韦纳在声明中表示，“因迪克和卡恩没有与爱泼斯坦交往，他们一直明确否认任何暗示他们明知故犯地协助或帮助爱泼斯坦进行性虐待或贩卖妇女，或者在为爱泼斯坦提供法律和会计服务期间意识到他的行为。”
因迪克于1986年开始在纽约市一家小型精品律所为爱泼斯坦工作，处理其房地产交易。他后来称爱泼斯坦为导师，并在20世纪90年代成为爱泼斯坦的专属雇员。因迪克帮助爱泼斯坦在美国维尔京群岛建立了公司和个人业务基地。根据法庭文件，他参与了爱泼斯坦商业和个人事务的几乎所有方面，并因服务获得数百万美元报酬。
卡恩也与爱泼斯坦密切合作，管理其财务和投资。他还处理爱泼斯坦的其他琐事，例如美国维尔京群岛私人岛屿的翻新工程。
因迪克和卡恩最近解决了一起指控他们协助爱泼斯坦贩卖网络的诉讼。法庭文件显示，他们被指控为移民目的协助爱泼斯坦虐待的妇女进行虚假婚姻。
爱泼斯坦自20世纪80年代中期起与亿万富翁莱斯·韦克斯纳（The Limited服装公司创始人）合作，担任其财务经理，并对韦克斯纳的财富拥有广泛控制权。文件显示，爱泼斯坦2006年被捕后两人分道扬镳，但仍保持联系。
曾代表多名爱泼斯坦受害者的律师布拉德·爱德华兹（Brad Edwards）告诉CBS新闻：“爱泼斯坦已经死了。如果有人对任何话题想问爱泼斯坦，这些问题应该直接向达伦、里奇或莱斯利[韦克斯纳]提出。”
爱泼斯坦指定因迪克和卡恩为其遗嘱执行人，现在他们控制着其遗产。
CBS新闻已联系韦克斯纳寻求置评，但尚未立即收到回应。
自去年8月前美国司法部长威廉·巴尔（William Barr）[作证称他亲自领导]对爱泼斯坦在曼哈顿拘留中心死亡事件的调查以来，众议院监督委员会已传唤了多名这名已定罪性犯罪者网络中的人物。
自那以后的几个月里，有不同的人作证——而委员会接受了其他人的书面陈述——但关于爱泼斯坦的新信息却很少。周三，[委员会建议对]前总统比尔·克林顿和前国务卿希拉里·克林顿处以藐视法庭罪，此前两人[拒绝亲自]出现在共和党领导的委员会面前。克林顿夫妇上周向委员会提交了宣誓声明。
爱泼斯坦的前女友吉斯兰·麦克斯韦（Ghislane Maxwell）因性交易罪被判20年联邦监禁，她定于2月9日出现在委员会面前。她的律师告诉成员，她计划援引第五修正案。
韦克斯纳定于2月18日作证，卡恩2月25日，因迪克2026年3月5日。
Epstein’s inner circle Les Wexner, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn subpoenaed to testify before House Oversight Committee
Updated on: January 23, 2026 / 10:01 PM EST / CBS News
[Jeffrey Epstein]’s inner circle, Les Wexner, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, were formally issued subpoenas Friday to testify before the House Oversight Committee, as key associates of the convicted sex offender.
“Oversight Democrats fought hard to get these subpoenas and forced the vote on Republicans. Now, the Committee will hear directly from the individuals most closely involved in Epstein’s inner circle. We will not stop until we get answers,” Rep. Robert Garcia of California, the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, said in a statement.
Indyke, Epstein’s lawyer; Khan, his accountant, and Wexner, his billionaire financial client and longtime benefactor, were identified as critical to the investigation by Epstein survivors. Documents released in earlier lawsuits and among the recent U.S. Department of Justice [trove show a complex and tangled] relationship between Epstein and the three men.
Daniel H. Weiner, an attorney for Indyke and Kahn, said in a statement to CBS News that the two accepted the subpoenas and intend to cooperate with the committee, but added that the allegations in the subpoena are “false.”
“It is worth emphasizing that not a single woman has ever accused either Mr. Indyke or Mr. Kahn of committing sexual abuse or witnessing sexual abuse, nor claimed at any time that she reported to them any allegation of Mr. Epstein’s abuse,” Weiner said in the statement. “Indyke and Kahn did not socialize with Mr. Epstein, and they have always rejected as categorically false any suggestion that they knowingly facilitated or assisted Mr. Epstein in his sexual abuse or trafficking of women, or that they were aware of Mr. Epstein’s actions while they provided legal and accounting services to Mr. Epstein.”
Indyke first began working with Epstein in 1986 at a small boutique law firm in New York City that handled Epstein’s real estate deals. He later claimed Epstein as a mentor and was exclusively employed by Epstein by the 1990s. Indyke helped establish Epstein’s corporate and personal base of operations in the U.S. Virgin Islands. He was involved in almost every aspect of Epstein’s business and personal affairs and was paid millions of dollars for his services, according to court documents.
Kahn also worked closely with Epstein, managing his finances and investments. He managed other minutiae for Epstein, such as renovations on his private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Indyke and Kahn recently settled a lawsuit alleging they facilitated Epstein’s trafficking network. Court documents show they were accused of facilitating sham marriages between women Epstein was abusing for immigration purposes.
Epstein worked with Wexner, a billionaire who founded The Limited clothing company, from the mid-1980s as his financial manager and had broad control over Wexner’s fortune. They parted ways after Epstein’s 2006 arrest but stayed in touch, documents show.
Attorney Brad Edwards, who has represented many of Epstein’s victims, told CBS News: “Epstein is dead. If anyone has questions they would ask of Epstein on any topic, those questions should either be directed to Darren, Rich or Leslie [Wexner].”
Epstein appointed Indyke and Kahn as executors of his will. They now control the estate.
CBS News has reached out to Wexner for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed several figures in the convicted sex offender’s network since last August, when former U.S. Attorney General William Barr [testified about his pledge] to personally lead the investigation into Epstein’s death in a Manhattan detention center.
In the months since then, various people have testified — while the panel has accepted written statements from others — with scant new information on Epstein released. On Wednesday, the [committee recommended holding] former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt after the pair [refused to appear]in person before the Republican-led panel. The Clintons submitted sworn declarations to the committee last week.
[Ghislane Maxwell], Epstein’s former girlfriend who is serving 20 years in federal prison for a sex trafficking conviction, is scheduled to appear before the committee on Feb. 9. Her lawyers told members that she plans to invoke the Fifth Amendment.
Wexner is set to testify Feb. 18, Kahn on Feb. 25, and Indyke is scheduled for March 5, 2026.
