Jeffrey Epstein's longtime attorney Darren Indyke testified before House Oversight Committee claiming no knowledge of abuse

Darren Indyke, who served as Jeffrey Epstein's personal attorney for roughly two decades, testified Thursday before the House Oversight Committee that he had no knowledge of Epstein's sexual abuse of underage girls while it was happening. Democrats on the committee expressed frustration, calling Indyke's testimony defensive and accusing him of lying. Indyke is an executor of Epstein's estate and previously settled a class-action lawsuit for up to $35 million without admitting wrongdoing.
