Richard Kahn, the longtime accountant of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, appeared for a closed-door deposition on Capitol Hill Wednesday. Democratic Congressmember James Walkinshaw, who sits on the House Oversight Committee, said, “Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring would not have been possible without Richard Kahn, who managed Epstein’s money for years, authorized payments, including payments to victims and survivors.” Kahn claimed that he was unaware of Epstein’s sexual abuse and had not seen any of his victims. Meanwhile, lawmakers are seeking to interview Tova Noel, one of the prison guards on duty when Epstein was found dead in his jail cell — a death ruled a suicide by New York’s chief medical examiner. According to the New York Post, FBI records suggest that Noel had twice run a Google search for the phrase “latest on Epstein in jail” in the hours before Epstein’s body was discovered. Chase Bank also flagged cash deposits in Noel’s bank account in a “suspicious activity report” to the FBI in November 2019, with a $5,000 cash deposit 10 days before Epstein’s death.
