Epstein’s Personal Lawyer Indyke to Testify Before House Panel

Attorneys for Darren Indyke, a longtime personal attorney to Jeffrey Epstein and co-executor of the late financier’s estate, said he will testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform after being subpoenaed.

“At the Committee’s request, Mr. Indyke voluntarily accepted service of that subpoena and expects to testify next month,” Daniel Weiner, chair of the litigation department at Hughes Hubbard & Reed, said in a statement.

Epstein’s vast network of professional and personal connections, including many well-known lawyers and law firms, has been laid bare by the recent release of emails and other documents collected by the Justice Department as part of a long-running government investigation. Several other Epstein insiders, including billionaire Les Wexner, were among those subpoenaed.

Weiner said Indyke and Richard Kahn, an accountant and fellow Epstein estate co-executor, have been working with the House Oversight Committee for months after being subpoenaed in August 2025 for “decades of materials” related to Epstein. The committee subpoenaed Indyke’s testimony last month.

“The co-executors willingly complied with that subpoena, producing thousands of pages of documents, photographs, and other materials,” Weiner said Tuesday. “Mr. Indyke fully intends to continue his cooperation with the Committee, and looks forward to setting the record straight as to his lack of involvement in Mr. Epstein’s misconduct.”

Weiner represents Indyke—who didn’t separately respond to a request for comment—along with Hughes Hubbard partner Marc Weinstein, chair of the firm’s white-collar defense and regulatory group. Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler white-collar defense co-chair Daniel Ruzumna is counsel to Kahn.

Indyke had been of counsel since late 2022 with the Parlatore Law Group until last month. That shop was formed by former FisherBroyles partner Timothy Parlatore. Parlatore, who has represented high-profile clients including President Donald Trump, said Indyke was a part-time lawyer for his firm and his recent departure had nothing to do with the Epstein affair.

Weiner declined to discuss Indyke’s separation from the Parlatore firm. Indyke’s registration with The Florida Bar indicates he’s resumed his solo practice.

Indyke and Kahn, who has also been subpoenaed to appear before by the House Oversight Committee, have previously been sued over allegations they enabled Epstein’s sex schemes in their roles helping run his business empire. Both men have denied wrongdoing. Weiner said that “nearly every lawsuit” filed against Indyke and Kahn has come due to their roles as co-executors of Epstein’s estate, which he said has sought to secure settlements for victims.

Weiner said “not a single woman has ever accused Mr. Indyke of committing sexual abuse or witnessing sexual abuse, nor claimed at any time that she reported to him any allegation of Mr. Epstein’s abuse.” Indyke never socialized with Epstein and he has “always rejected as categorically false any suggestion that he knowingly facilitated or assisted” Epstein in sexual abuse or trafficking women, Weiner said.

Indyke, who personally advised Epstein for more than two decades, was unaware of his client’s personal actions during that time, Weiner said.

“No judge in any court anywhere has ever found Mr. Indyke committed any wrongdoing of any kind,” Weiner added.

Epstein’s estate, which is being administered under the jurisdiction of a court in the US Virgin Islands, has paid out $49 million in settlements to victims at the direction of Indyke and Kahn, Weiner said. He added that a restitution fund set up by both men has also paid out an additional $121 million to victims. The estate, once valued at roughly $600 million, has shrunk in size due to settlements and legal fees, although asset sales, including of property once owned by Epstein, have helped offset some of those expenditures.

Records released through the government’s disclosure of Epstein’s emails and other documentation show he planned to give $50 million and $25 million, respectively, to Indyke and Kahn as two of the main beneficiaries of his estate.

Weiner said there are more than 40 beneficiaries, none of whom will receive any money from Epstein’s estate until all creditors and claims have been “satisfied in full, including claims for compensation made by women who suffered abuse at Mr. Epstein’s hands.”
