What's up everyone and welcome to another episode
1:02
of the Epstein Chronicles.
1:05
Now that Darren Indyke and Richard Khan
1:08
have both testified in front of Congress,
1:11
there's still a lot of questions that need to be answered.
1:15
Especially concerning the settlement
1:19
that was allegedly paid out to Jane Doe number four.
1:23
Now Jane Doe number four is also the Jane Doe
1:27
that made some serious allegations against Donald Trump.
1:31
So figuring out if this payment was paid out
1:36
is pretty important, right?
1:38
It goes to the accuracy of what Jane Doe four is saying.
1:41
And if she was found credible enough to receive a settlement,
1:45
then I would think that what she asked to say about Epstein
1:48
and those around them deserves a harder look.
1:53
And it deserves a robust investigation.
1:56
And as we know, that never occurred.
1:59
In fact, according to Darren Indyke,
2:02
nobody ever even spoke to him about Jeffrey Epstein's crimes
2:07
just like nobody ever spoke to less Wexner
2:09
or anybody else on the inside of Jeffrey Epstein's
2:15
And that's all by design.
2:16
The whole idea was to keep this scope narrow
2:19
and stay in the kitty pool.
2:22
They never wanted anybody to explore the deep end
2:25
because they know the deep end is where all the secrets
2:30
So today we have an article from News Nation and the headline,
2:34
questions around Epstein co-executers potential payment
2:37
to Jane Doe number four.
2:39
This article was authored by Diana Falzoni.
2:44
Both the Jeffrey Epstein's co-executers have testified
2:48
before a congressional committee about their ties
2:50
to the deceased sex offender and both depositions ended
2:54
with questions surrounding a potential settlement
2:56
with an accuser known only as Jane Doe number four.
2:59
And look, again, I'm not saying that it happened, I don't know.
3:03
But what I do know for sure is there was no real investigation.
3:08
And if it was your daughter or your mother or your sister
3:12
or your friend, I know you'd want an investigation
3:15
at the very least, right?
3:18
And then where it goes from there, that's up to the evidence.
3:22
But the fact that none of this was ever really investigated
3:25
from the beginning, that should be setting off more sirens
3:29
than an air strike in Tel Aviv.
3:31
I truly have no idea how somebody could look at this
3:34
and not be concerned.
3:38
Epstein's former attorney and co-executor, Darren Indyke,
3:41
testified before the House Oversight Committee on Thursday.
3:44
His former accountant, fellow co-executor, Richard Khan,
3:48
testified last week.
3:50
And I still haven't seen the transcripts,
3:52
so we don't know exactly what was said word for word.
3:56
All we have is a summary of what went down.
4:00
But just from the summary alone, I'm not exactly impressed
4:04
by what we're hearing.
4:05
Indyke's name appears multiple times in the DOJ Epstein files,
4:09
mainly dealing with legal matters,
4:11
appearing in those files does not indicate guilt of a crime.
4:15
In his deposition before the committee,
4:17
Indyke would not confirm or deny a settlement with Jane Doe IV,
4:21
who accused Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein of abuse
4:24
when she was a minor.
4:25
However, he confirmed the existence of hard drives
4:28
held by Epstein's private investigators,
4:31
representative Robert Garcia, said in a statement,
4:35
why would the private investigators
4:37
have those hard drives and not the police?
4:43
And it all just leads right back to the truth of the matter.
4:47
That Jeffrey Epstein was being protected,
4:50
and he wasn't investigated in the matter that he should have been.
4:55
And look, something that happened recently
4:56
that you can look at as reference is what went down with Diddy
4:59
and look at the difference.
5:01
Perp walked him, got their photo op, rated all of his properties,
5:06
didn't let any of the properties sit.
5:08
And then, not only that, tried to smack his ass with Rico.
5:14
So if you take a look at what Diddy was up to
5:16
and then you take a look at what Epstein was up to,
5:19
how can you tell me in good faith
5:22
that Diddy deserved Rico, but not Jeffrey Epstein?
5:26
I'm sorry, but I just don't buy it.
5:28
And anybody trying to pitch that,
5:31
either has no idea what they're talking about
5:34
or they have a much more nefarious purpose
5:36
for pitching that kind of narrative.
5:39
I mean, they took every single one of Diddy's digital devices,
5:43
phones, computers, tablets, all of it.
5:46
But these hard drives walk away and it's no big deal.
5:51
Nobody tracks them down.
5:53
Nobody assures that they're not gonna walk away
5:56
Nobody secures evidence.
5:59
I know, I know, just another coincidence, right?
6:01
Garcia did not provide more
6:03
about what was potentially on those hard drives
6:08
News Nation reached out to the individual members
6:11
of the committee on both sides of the aisle
6:13
about Jango four and each time was referred
6:16
to committee press releases.
6:18
Well, that's interesting.
6:20
Since when does the committee want to run their fat yap?
6:24
All they do is talk, no action,
6:27
but all of a sudden they have nothing to say.
6:31
Where's Anna Paulina Luna?
6:33
Oh, maybe she's busy with the interdimensional beings.
6:37
She's way too busy to figure out if a payout was made
6:40
by a woman that's accusing the sitting president.
6:44
Nothing to see here, folks, just a gigantic hoax.
6:48
Hey, you hear about Carg Island?
6:52
Khan Epstein's former accountant was deposed
6:55
by the oversight committee on March 11th
6:57
and some members are demanding clarity
6:59
on whether or not Khan paid a settlement
7:01
to an accuser referred to Jane Doe four,
7:04
citing Khan's inconsistent and shifting statements
7:08
as extremely concerning.
7:09
Well, look, we all knew that Khan wasn't gonna be honest.
7:14
Him and Indyke, they have way too much to lose.
7:17
So if you thought that these two dudes were gonna tell
7:19
the truth and blow the doors off this thing,
7:23
you were sorely mistaken,
7:25
just like Lane Maxwell and everybody else
7:27
who has something to lose.
7:29
If you wanna get to the truth of this,
7:31
you have to listen to the people who were abused
7:34
and you have to listen to the whistleblowers.
7:38
But they refuse to do it.
7:40
They just keep spinning their wheels in neutral.
7:44
Like, look, getting toven a well in there,
7:47
But what about Michael Thomas?
7:48
What about the lieutenants?
7:50
What about the people that made the decisions
7:53
to not have Jeffrey Epstein with another celly?
7:56
There's a lot going on, right?
7:58
And with all this ground to cover,
8:00
do you feel like this congressional committee
8:02
is covering enough of that ground?
8:06
And I think the whole entire thing
8:07
is being driven by politics on both sides.
8:11
And that's a losing strategy at the end of the day
8:14
because both sides are just gonna retreat into their bunkers
8:17
and start blaming the other team.
8:19
And while that's happening,
8:20
all of Jeffrey Epstein's buddies
8:22
well, they're popping that bubbly
8:24
and laughing at all of us collectively.
8:28
The March 13th letter from Representative Garcia
8:31
and Rokana to Khan's attorney, Daniel S. Ruzuma,
8:35
On March 11th, 2026, your client, Mr. Khan,
8:39
testified in response to a question
8:42
by Representative Rokana that Jane Doe 4,
8:44
who Representative Kanna represented as a woman
8:48
who made allegations against President Trump
8:50
had received a settlement from the Epstein estate.
8:54
On March 12th, 2026, you represented
8:56
to oversight democratic staff attorneys
8:58
that you can no longer stand by your assertion
9:01
that no settlement was reached with Jane Doe No. 4.
9:04
Instead, you stated on this second call
9:07
that you can neither confirm nor deny
9:09
whether a settlement was reached with Jane Doe No. 4.
9:14
If there was a settlement, there has to be paperwork, right?
9:17
Somebody paid the money, somebody transferred it,
9:20
somebody signed off on it.
9:22
So where's the paperwork?
9:24
And if there isn't any, and there was no settlement,
9:26
or it was a backdoor handshake kind of deal,
9:29
that's a whole other problem.
9:32
They concluded a demand for Khan to confirm
9:35
and writing whether Jane Doe 4 filed a claim
9:38
against the Epstein estate, and if she
9:40
received a monetary settlement from the estate.
9:43
News Nation, as Ruzuma, if his client could confirm or deny
9:47
Jane Doe 4 was paid from an Epstein account.
9:51
Ruzuma replied, we have no comment.
9:54
Oh, I bet you don't.
9:57
So I'm going to take that as yes.
10:01
And I have a sneaking suspicion that this settlement
10:05
Now does that mean everybody's guilty
10:07
and everybody did what was alleged?
10:10
Well, we know that it's not a guilty verdict,
10:14
but it doesn't look good.
10:16
And I know that I speak for most men out there.
10:18
If you're going to accuse me of something like that,
10:21
and it's not true, yo, I'm going down swinging.
10:26
I'm not going to have any kind of settlement whatsoever,
10:28
especially if I have the money to fight the allegation.
10:32
But all of a sudden these people are so quick
10:35
to pay out these settlements, right?

11:14
Everybody's favorite good podcast about bad relationships.
11:18
Looking for something true crimey without the gore,
11:21
We've been churning out funny, feisty, feminist episode since 2019.

11:35
We've covered someone you love, or someone you love to hate.
11:39
Hey, I'm Josh Speagle, host of the podcast,
11:42
Lunatic in the newsroom.
11:43
If you enjoy journalism that drifts into mild panic,
11:46
wild overthinking, and a guaranteed nervous breakdown,
11:49
Lunatic in the newsroom is for you.
11:52
It's news like you've never heard before,
11:54
the only newsroom with a panic button.
11:56
You'll laugh, you'll cry, and gasp and horror
11:59
as the show spirals completely out of control.
12:02
It's not just news, it's emotionally unstable.
12:05
Lunatic in the newsroom, listen today.
12:11
Regarding the questions, the White House official
12:14
told news nation last week, the White House,
12:16
would have no visibility into anything
12:18
and nothing to do with decisions allegedly made
12:23
Also would point you to these remarks from Comer
12:26
and post from oversight.
12:28
Epstein's accountant is now the fifth witness
12:30
to tell the committee that President Trump was not involved.
12:35
God, these people are so pathetic.
12:37
That's what this whole committee is about.
12:40
This whole committee is a gigantic BJ for President Trump.
12:43
I hate to be so crass, but that's what it is.
12:47
You know, he pulled Comer aside and was like,
12:50
listen here, Jimmy boy, go out there and make sure
12:53
that I come out of this looking good.
12:56
And that's why he hates Thomas Massey so much, by the way,
12:59
because Massey wasn't having it,
13:01
and he knew that this was going to be nothing more
13:03
than political theater.
13:05
So we got involved with the discharge petition
13:07
and now Comer and the GOP officials
13:10
that are sitting on this committee are being exposed.
13:13
And frankly, at this point,
13:15
it seems like the only ones who care
13:17
are Thomas Massey and Nancy Mace,
13:20
but the rest of them, they can't be bothered
13:23
to try and find the truth.
13:24
All they can do is try and protect the president
13:26
and the administration, a source familiar
13:29
with Indyke's deposition told News Nation
13:31
that Indyke said he was never contacted
13:34
or interviewed by law enforcement regarding Epstein
13:37
or Glein Maxwell, the deceased financier
13:39
as co-conspirator who is serving
13:41
20-year federal prison sentence
13:43
for the sex trafficking of minor females.
13:47
Never even spoke with Indyke.
13:51
How can this be a real investigation if that never occurred?
13:55
How can anyone sit here and tell me
13:57
that this was fully investigated?
13:58
Everybody was looked at, every angle was checked.
14:02
If guys like Darren Indyke weren't even questioned.
14:06
Save the bullshit, save the nonsense
14:08
and miss me with all of it.
14:11
Indyke and Con were listed as beneficiaries
14:14
in a January 9th, 2017 email,
14:17
about one of Epstein's financial trusts
14:19
referred to as the butterfly trust.
14:22
Indyke reportedly began to work for Epstein around 1996,
14:27
had no idea, never saw anything in all those decades.
14:31
Imagine believing that bullshit?
14:33
Con and Indyke reached a $35 million settlement
14:37
on behalf of the sex traffickers estate
14:39
in a victim-class action suit.
14:42
Their attorney, Daniel H. Wiener,
14:43
perfect name for him, by the way,
14:45
said in a statement in February
14:47
that the settlement is not an admission of guilt.
14:51
We're just paying out $35 million because, you know,
14:55
Because they did nothing wrong,
14:57
the co-executors were prepared to fight the claims
14:59
against them through to trial,
15:01
but agreed to mediate and settle this lawsuit
15:04
in order to achieve finality,
15:06
as to any potential claims against the Epstein estate.
15:10
yeah, so they can get their money.
15:12
Remember, they're the executors.
15:13
They're the ones that are on the line
15:15
to get whatever money's left over.
15:17
So yeah, they're gonna fight tooth and nail.
15:20
Indyke's lawyer, Wiener,
15:21
provided his client's opening statement,
15:23
via email to News Nation on Thursday,
15:25
to the House Committee, and stated
15:27
he had no knowledge whatsoever
15:29
of Jeffrey Epstein's wrongdoings.
15:32
In his statements, Indyke said that as the co-executor,
15:35
he helped create the Epstein Victim Compensation Program
15:39
to provide a voluntary and non-confrontational means
15:42
to compensate women who suffered sexual abuse
15:48
You wanted a streamlined process
15:50
that was not going to break the bank.
15:53
So that's why you did what you did.
15:54
And I think that whole entire settlement fund
15:57
turned out to be a gigantic slap in the face
15:59
to a lot of the survivors.
16:01
Due to the court ordered confidentiality restrictions,
16:04
the court approved protocol for the Epstein Victim,
16:06
compensation program, and agreements with individual claimants,
16:10
the Epstein Estate is prohibited
16:12
from providing that information.
16:14
However, any claimant who receives an award
16:17
under the Estate Funded EVCP or indirect settlement
16:20
with the estate is freeda publicly share that information,
16:24
Wiener, told News Nation.
16:26
Jess Michaels, the survivor of sexual assault
16:29
by Jeffrey Epstein in 1991,
16:32
told News Nation the fund has a strict legal process
16:35
where victims had to present evidence
16:37
and go through an interview process
16:39
with a claims administrator who was also an attorney.
16:44
Evidence included affidavits, medical records, therapy notes,
16:48
the victims who were paid from the settlement fund
16:50
had been determined to have truthful allegations
16:53
of harm by Epstein and his network,
16:55
not just proximity to his network, she said.
16:58
So if they made the payout, that means
17:00
that Jane Doe IV was abused.
17:03
And they're tacitly admitting it.
17:05
So now the question becomes, what's up with Trump?
17:09
And how come there hasn't been a full investigation
17:12
of what Jane Doe IV said?
17:14
And of 600 million, the victims only received 125 million,
17:19
even after a USVI judge had told the fund
17:22
and a state no limits were to be put
17:24
on survivor compensation.
17:25
Michaels also said, and I said that from the jump.
17:30
That should is garbage.
17:32
These women should have got the lion share of this money.
17:36
Back the brings truck up and pile that money up on their front lawn.
17:41
Nobody else should be getting this money, not the USVI,
17:46
Anybody who was victimized by Jeffrey Epstein
17:48
should get this money.
17:49
And the younger you were when the victimization happened,
17:52
the more money you should get.
17:54
But unfortunately, that did not occur.
17:57
And the estate is still sitting on a gigantic amount of money.
18:01
And I know it's just a gigantic coincidence
18:03
that the people that are set up to get that money
18:06
when all this is over and done with are in dyke and con.
18:10
So yeah, I would say that they have some motivation here
18:13
to settle these suits for as little as possible
18:16
so that they can come out on the back end
18:18
with a gigantic bag.
18:20
And as far as Jane Doe IV goes,
18:22
if that settlement was paid, then of course,
18:24
that leads to a bunch of questions
18:26
about what she said about Donald Trump.
18:29
Because if she was credible enough to get a settlement,
18:32
shouldn't that mean that she's credible enough
18:34
for at the very least a real investigation
18:36
into the allegations that she made?
18:38
And if not, then the DOJ should provide us information
18:42
as to their decision making and why they decided
18:45
not to investigate.
18:47
So I think that this has the potential
18:49
to really blow up, will it?
18:50
We'll have to see what the documentation says.
18:53
But it has that potential.
18:54
And just like the rest of the stories we're following,
18:57
we'll continue to follow this one as well.
