肯塔基州共和党众议员、众议院监督委员会主席詹姆斯·科默周三表示，杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的长期会计师在闭门作证中称，他从未意识到已故金融家、性犯罪者向总统唐纳德·特朗普支付过任何款项。
爱泼斯坦遗产的执行人之一理查德·卡恩是该委员会调查联邦政府如何处理爱泼斯坦案件的最新一名被讯问者。
科默告诉记者：“卡恩先生在宣誓后作证称——由于民主党人提出了这个问题——他从未见过任何指向特朗普或其家人的交易记录。这是第五位宣誓作证称从未见过唐纳德·特朗普或其家人参与相关事务的证人。”

科默表示，卡恩确实证实有五人向爱泼斯坦支付了款项：前维多利亚的秘密首席执行官莱斯·韦克斯纳、对冲基金经理格伦·杜宾、商人史蒂文·西诺夫斯基、罗斯柴尔德家族以及投资者莱昂·布莱克。据知，爱泼斯坦曾担任他们每个人的财务顾问。

科默称：“卡恩说，他印象中爱泼斯坦是作为税务顾问和财务规划师赚钱的。因此，这五人向爱泼斯坦转移了大笔资金。”

但谈到特朗普时，弗吉尼亚州民主党众议员苏哈斯·苏布拉马尼亚姆对卡恩在闭门会议上的表述给出了略有不同的说法。
他告诉记者，卡恩称“一名指控唐纳德·特朗普的人士从爱泼斯坦的遗产中获得了一笔和解金。”
这并不一定意味着所谓的和解金与特朗普有关。

据知，这位前总统曾是爱泼斯坦的朋友，直到这位已故恋童癖者首次接受联邦调查前两人关系破裂。
他尚未被指控与爱泼斯坦的犯罪行为有任何不当关联。
苏布拉马尼亚姆表示，卡恩还作证称“有另一位国家元首被提及与杰弗里·爱泼斯坦有金融往来”，但他没有详细说明具体是谁。

Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime accountant testified behind closed doors that he was never aware of any payments the late financier and sex offender made to President Donald Trump, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said Wednesday.
Richard Kahn, one of the executors of Epstein’s estate, is the latest person to be deposed in the committee’s investigation into how the federal government handled Epstein’s case.
“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 told reporters. “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 said that Kahn did confirm, however, that five people paid money to Epstein: ex-Victoria’s Secret CEO Les Wexner, hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin, businessman Steven Sinofsky, the Rothschilds and investor Leon Black. Epstein was known to have served as a financial advisor for each of them.

“What Kahn said is he was under the impression that Epstein made his money as a tax advisor and a financial planner. So these were the five people that transferred significant sums of money to Epstein,” Comer said.

But when it comes to Trump, Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, D-Va., gave a slightly different account of what Kahn said behind closed doors.
He told reporters that Kahn said a “person who was an accuser of Donald Trump was given a settlement by Jeffrey Epstein’s estate.”
That does not necessarily mean that the alleged settlement was regarding Trump.

The former president was known to be a friend of Epstein’s until the two had a falling out before the late pedophile’s first federal investigation.
He has not been implicated in any wrongdoing related to his crimes.
Subramanyam said Kahn also testified that “there was another head of state that was mentioned as having financial transactions with Jeffrey Epstein,” though he did not elaborate on who that was.
