Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime personal lawyer and co-executive of his estate said he had no knowledge of a relationship the late convicted sex offender had with President Donald Trump, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said Thursday. Darren Indyke made the claim in a closed-door session before the House Oversight Committee. He is the latest Epstein affiliate to testify in the panel’s sprawling probe. Comer said Democrats immediately pressed Indyke with questions about ties between the president and Epstein. "Republicans asked very substantive questions that any curious media outlet would ask, that any American who's kept up with this story would ask," Comer told reporters. "Then the Democrats get their hour, and they ask about Donald Trump."

Comer also said that Indyke told the committee that he had no knowledge of Epstein’s sexual crimes. Indyke has denied any wrongdoing and did not invoke his Fifth Amendment right when questioned by the panel. "As with all the other witnesses, they all claim they never had any knowledge before it became public that Mr. Epstein was … doing anything inappropriately with young women," the Kentucky Republican said. After Epstein’s first conviction in 2008, Comer said that Indyke told the committee that Epstein "convinced him he would never do it again and that he had remorse." "We’re asking all those questions, and like just about every other witness, they either didn't know or couldn't recall," Comer said, referring to individuals in Epstein’s orbit having knowledge of or participating in sex trafficking schemes.
