Richard Kahn, who was Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime accountant, testified for roughly six hours on Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee as part of its probe into Epstein.

Committee chair James Comer, R-Ky., said Kahn named five people who paid Epstein, “and that was Les Wexner, Glenn Dubin, Steven Sinofsky, the Rothschilds and Leon Black.”

Comer noted that the committee previously questioned Wexner and that Black will be deposed “very soon.” No one named by Kahn has been accused by the authorities of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.

Asked about Kahn’s comments today, a spokesperson for Black pointed to a law firm’s report from 2021 that referenced Black’s payments to Epstein.

“As has been documented in the independent Dechert Report, an investigation which Mr. Black asked for, it indicated that he paid Epstein for tax and estate planning work and he had no awareness of Epstein’s criminal activity,” Whit Clay said in an email.
