Overview
- The Oversight Committee voted to summon Les Wexner, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn for depositions and records tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s finances.
- Before taking effect, the subpoenas must be drafted with proposed dates and signed by Chair James Comer.
- Wexner, who once employed Epstein to manage his personal finances, says he later discovered misappropriated funds and denies knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.
- An attorney for the estate and for Indyke and Kahn said they have already provided records, will continue cooperating, and reject claims they knowingly aided abuse.
- The push, led by Ranking Member Robert Garcia with support from Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, advances as the Justice Department processes a massive trove of Epstein files and Democrats cite survivor testimony, including a deposition by Virginia Giuffre naming Wexner.
