曾与杰弗里·爱泼斯坦（Jeffrey Epstein）密切合作数十年、后成为其遗产执行人的一名律师将于周四接受众议院监督委员会的质询。
达伦·因迪克（Darren Indyke）或许是爱泼斯坦自20世纪80年代起最亲密的伙伴。他参与构建了爱泼斯坦复杂的商业网络、资产组合及法律团队，以应对大量民事和刑事案件。
因迪克是爱泼斯坦遗产的两位执行人中第二位闭门向委员会作证的。另一位是会计师理查德·卡恩（Richard Kahn），他于3月11日作证称，“直到爱泼斯坦死后，我才了解到他虐待众多女性的性质和程度。”
因迪克和卡恩出现在数十家相互关联公司的文件上，这些公司为爱泼斯坦虐待幸存者提供资金，其律师表示，两人是这些公司管理中的关键人物。因迪克和卡恩最近达成和解，以解决一项指控他们为移民目的促成虚假婚姻（即外国受害者与爱泼斯坦虐待对象结婚）的诉讼。
司法部的爱泼斯坦档案中数百万份文件显示了一个与爱泼斯坦相关的复杂商业网络。
因迪克的律师丹尼尔·韦纳（Daniel Weiner）在1月份向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻提供的声明中称，指控因迪克和卡恩参与爱泼斯坦犯罪是“虚假的”。
“值得强调的是，没有一名女性曾指控因迪克先生或卡恩先生实施或目睹性虐待，也从未声称她向他们报告过任何关于爱泼斯坦先生虐待的指控，”韦纳表示。“因迪克和卡恩与爱泼斯坦没有社交往来，他们一直坚决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和贩卖妇女，或在为爱泼斯坦提供法律和会计服务时意识到其行为的说法。”
委员会已听取了一系列知名人士的证词，但像因迪克这样与爱泼斯坦关系如此密切的人寥寥无几。爱泼斯坦的同谋、被判有罪的性犯罪者吉斯莱恩·麦克斯韦（Ghislaine Maxwell）在委员会虚拟听证会上援引第五修正案反对自证其罪，拒绝回答问题。
前总统比尔·克林顿（Bill Clinton）于2月27日作证，否认知晓爱泼斯坦的犯罪行为。他的妻子、前国务卿希拉里·克林顿（Hillary Clinton）表示不认识爱泼斯坦。她称委员会应该要求特朗普总统在宣誓后接受质询，“其他档案中重点提及的人也应如此。”
卡恩最初作证称，遗产管理方与一名指控爱泼斯坦和特朗普先生的女性达成和解。但他的律师随后收回了这一说法，表示无法确认或否认任何此类和解，此前民主党人对其所谓“前后矛盾”的陈述进行了一整天的追问。
亿万富翁莱斯·韦克斯纳（Les Wexner）是爱泼斯坦最重要的捐赠者之一。他向委员会声称自己“被一个世界级的骗子蒙骗”，对爱泼斯坦的犯罪一无所知。
委员会共和党主席、肯塔基州众议员詹姆斯·科默（James Comer）3月11日表示，卡恩被问及韦克斯纳的情况。
“他证实有五位客户向爱泼斯坦支付了款项，分别是莱斯·韦克斯纳、格伦·杜宾（Glenn Dubin）、史蒂文·西诺夫斯基（Steven Sinofsky）、罗斯柴尔德家族（Rothschilds）和利昂·布莱克（Leon Black），”科默告诉记者。
科默称，同样身为投资者和亿万富翁的布莱克将“很快被传唤作证”。
科默周二传唤了司法部长帕姆·邦迪（Pam Bondi），要求其就司法部处理爱泼斯坦档案的相关情况作证。

Darren Indyke, Epstein’s lawyer and key associate, to testify to House committee today
March 19, 2026 / 6:00 AM EDT / CBS News
A lawyer who worked closely with Jeffrey Epstein for decades before becoming an executor of his estate will be questioned Thursday by the House Oversight Committee.
Darren Indyke was perhaps Epstein’s closest associate dating back to the 1980s. He was involved in assembling Epstein’s complex web of businesses, properties and legal teams for a voluminous tangle of civil and criminal matters.
Indyke is the second of two executors of Epstein’s estate to testify before the committee behind closed doors. The other, accountant Richard Kahn, testified on March 11 that he “was not aware of the nature or extent of Epstein’s abuse of so many women until after Epstein’s death.”
Indyke and Kahn appear on paperwork for dozens of interconnected companies that facilitated payments to survivors of Epstein’s abuse, whose attorneys have said the pair were key figures in the management of those firms. Indyke and Kahn recently settled a lawsuit accusing them of facilitating sham marriages in which foreign-born victims married Americans whom Epstein abused, for immigration purposes.
Millions of documents in the Justice Department’s Epstein files show a sophisticated network of businesses tied to Epstein.
An attorney for Indyke, Daniel Weiner, said in a statement to CBS News in January that allegations that Indyke and Kahn were complicit in Epstein’s crimes 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. “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.”
The committee has heard from an ongoing stream of far more prominent names, but few who were as close to Epstein as Indyke. Convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s co-conspirator, invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and refused to answer questions during a virtual appearance before the committee.
Former President Bill Clinton testified on Feb. 27, denying any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes. His wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, said she didn’t know Epstein. She said the committee should demand President Trump sit for questions “under oath as should others who are prominently featured in the files.”
Kahn initially testified that the estate reached a settlement with a woman who made abuse allegations against both Epstein and Mr. Trump. His attorney later recanted that statement, saying he could neither confirm nor deny any such settlement, following a daylong back-and-forth with Democrats who criticized what they called “inconsistent” statements.
Billionaire Les Wexner was one of Epstein’s most significant benefactors. He claimed to the committee he was “duped by a world-class con man” and knew nothing of Epstein’s crimes.
Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the committee’s Republican chairman, said on March 11 that Kahn was questioned about Wexner.
“He confirmed there were five clients that paid money to Epstein, and that was Les Wexner, Glenn Dubin, Steven Sinofsky, the Rothschilds and Leon Black,” Comer told reporters.
Comer said Black, also an investor and billionaire, would be deposed “very soon.”
Comer on Tuesday subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi for testimony related to the department’s handling of the Epstein files.
