What's up everyone and welcome to another episode
1:33
of the Epstein Chronicles.
1:36
Now that Darren Indyke and Richard Khan
1:39
have both testified in front of Congress,
1:42
there's still a lot of questions that need to be answered.
1:46
Especially concerning the settlement
1:49
that was allegedly paid out to Jane Doe No. 4.
1:54
Now Jane Doe No. 4 is also the Jane Doe
1:58
that made some serious allegations against Donald Trump.
2:02
So figuring out if this payment was paid out
2:06
is pretty important, right?
2:08
It goes to the accuracy of what Jane Doe 4 is saying.
2:12
And if she was found credible enough to receive a settlement,
2:15
then I would think that what she asked to say about Epstein
2:19
and those around them deserves a harder look.
2:23
And it deserves a robust investigation.
2:27
And as we know, that never occurred.
2:30
In fact, according to Darren Indyke,
2:33
nobody ever even spoke to him about Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.
2:37
Just like nobody ever spoke to less Wexner
2:40
or anybody else on the inside of Jeffrey Epstein's
2:45
And that's all by design.
2:47
The whole idea was to keep this scope narrow
2:49
and stay in the kitty pool.
2:52
They never wanted anybody to explore the deep end
2:55
because they know the deep end is where all the secrets
3:00
So today, we have an article from News Nation and the headline,
3:04
questions around Epstein co-executers potential payment
3:10
This article was authored by Diana Falzoni.
3:16
Both the Jeffrey Epstein's co-executers
3:18
have testified before a congressional committee
3:20
about their ties to the deceased sex offender
3:23
and both depositions ended with questions surrounding
3:26
a potential settlement with an accuser
3:28
known only as Jane Doe No. 4.
3:31
And look, again, I'm not saying that it happened.
3:35
But what I do know for sure is there
3:37
was no real investigation.
3:40
And if it was your daughter or your mother
3:42
or your sister or your friend,
3:44
I know you'd want an investigation at the very least, right?
3:49
And then where it goes from there, that's up to the evidence.
3:52
But the fact that none of this was ever really
3:54
investigated from the beginning,
3:57
that should be setting off more sirens than an air strike
4:02
I truly have no idea how somebody could look at this
4:05
and not be concerned.
4:08
Epstein's former attorney and co-executor,
4:11
Darren Indyke, testified before the House
4:13
Oversight Committee on Thursday.
4:15
His former accountant, fellow co-executor, Richard Khan,
4:18
testified last week.
4:21
And I still haven't seen the transcripts,
4:22
so we don't know exactly what was said word for word.
4:26
All we have is a summary of what went down.
4:31
But just from the summary alone, I'm not exactly impressed
4:34
by what we're hearing.
4:36
Indyke's name appears multiple times in the DOJ Epstein
4:39
files, mainly dealing with legal matters,
4:42
appearing in those files does not indicate guilt of a crime.
4:45
In his deposition before the committee,
4:47
Indyke would not confirm or deny a settlement with Jane
4:50
04, who accused Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein
4:53
of abuse when she was a minor.
4:56
However, he confirmed the existence of hard drives held
4:59
by Epstein's private investigators,
5:01
representative Robert Garcia, said in a statement,
5:05
why would the private investigators have
5:08
those hard drives and not the police?
5:14
And it all just leads right back to the truth of the matter.
5:18
That Jeffrey Epstein was being protected
5:21
and he wasn't investigated in the matter that he should have been.
5:25
And look, something that happened recently
5:27
that you can look at as reference is what went down with Diddy
5:30
and look at the difference.
5:32
Perp walked him, got their photo op,
5:35
rated all of his properties, didn't let any of the properties
5:38
sit, and then, not only that,
5:41
tried to smack his ass with Rico.
5:44
So if you take a look at what Diddy was up to
5:47
and then you take a look at what Epstein was up to,
5:49
how can you tell me in good faith
5:52
that Diddy deserved Rico, but not Jeffrey Epstein?
5:56
I'm sorry, but I just don't buy it.
5:59
And anybody trying to pitch that either has no idea
6:02
what they're talking about or they have a much more
6:05
nefarious purpose for pitching that kind of narrative.
6:10
I mean, they took every single one of Diddy's digital devices,
6:13
phones, computers, tablets, all of it.
6:17
But these hard drives walk away and it's no big deal.
6:21
Nobody tracks them down.
6:24
Nobody assures that they're not going to walk away in the first place.
6:27
Nobody secures evidence.
6:29
I know, I know just another coincidence, right?
6:32
Garcia did not provide more about what was potentially
6:35
on those hard drives in the statement.
6:39
News Nation reached out to the individual members of the committee
6:42
on both sides of the aisle about Jane Doe 4
6:45
and each time was referred to committee press releases.
6:49
Well, that's interesting.
6:50
Since when does the committee want to run their fat yet?
6:54
All they do is talk, no action,
6:57
but all of a sudden they have nothing to say.
7:02
Where's Anna Paulina Luna?
7:04
Oh, maybe she's busy with the interdimensional beings.
7:07
She's way too busy to figure out if a payout was made
7:11
by a woman that's accusing the sitting president.
7:14
Nothing to see here, folks, just a gigantic hoax.
7:19
Hey, you hear about Carg Island?
7:22
Khan Epstein's former accountant was
7:25
deposed by the oversight committee on March 11th
7:27
and some members are demanding clarity on whether or not
7:30
Khan paid a settlement to an accuser
7:33
referred to Jane Doe 4, citing Khan's inconsistent
7:36
and shifting statements as extremely concerning.
7:40
Well, look, we all knew that Khan wasn't going to be honest.
7:44
Him and Indyke, they have way too much to lose.
7:48
So if you thought that these two dudes were going to tell the truth
7:51
and blow the doors off this thing,
7:54
you were sorely mistaken, just like Lane Maxwell
7:57
and everybody else who has something to lose.
8:00
If you want to get to the truth of this,
8:02
you have to listen to the people who were abused
8:05
and you have to listen to the whistleblowers.
8:08
But they refuse to do it.
8:11
They just keep spinning their wheels and neutral.
8:14
Like, look, getting toven a well in there,
8:18
But what about Michael Thomas?
8:19
What about the lieutenants?
8:20
What about the people that made the decisions
8:23
to not have Jeffrey Epstein with another celly?
8:26
There's a lot going on, right?
8:28
And with all this ground to cover,
8:30
do you feel like this congressional committee
8:33
is covering enough of that ground?
8:36
And I think the whole entire thing
8:38
is being driven by politics on both sides.
8:42
And that's a losing strategy at the end of the day
8:44
because both sides are just going to retreat into their bunkers
8:48
and start blaming the other team.
8:50
And while that's happening,
8:51
all of Jeffrey Epstein's buddies,
8:53
well, they're popping that bubbly
8:55
and laughing at all of us collectively.
8:58
The March 13th letter from Representative Garcia
9:01
and Rokana to Khan's attorney, Daniel S. Rosuma,
9:06
On March 11th, 2026, your client, Mr. Khan,
9:10
testified in response to a question
9:12
by Representative Rokana that Jane Doe IV,
9:15
who Representative Khanow represented as a woman
9:18
who made allegations against President Trump
9:21
had received a settlement from the Epstein estate.
9:24
On March 12th, 2026, you represented
9:27
to oversight Democratic staff attorneys
9:29
that you could no longer stand by your assertion
9:31
that no settlement was reached with Jane Doe IV.
9:35
Instead, you stated on this second call
9:38
that you can neither confirm nor deny
9:40
whether a settlement was reached with Jane Doe IV.
9:44
If there was a settlement, there has to be paperwork, right?
9:47
Somebody paid the money, somebody transferred it,
9:50
somebody signed off on it, so where's the paperwork?
9:54
And if there isn't any, and there was no settlement,
9:57
or it was a backdoor handshake kind of deal,
9:59
that's a whole other problem.
10:03
They concluded a demand for Khan to confirm and writing
10:06
whether Jane Doe IV filed a claim against the Epstein estate
10:10
and if she received a monetary settlement from the estate.
10:14
News Nation asked Rosuma if his client
10:17
could confirm or deny Jane Doe IV was paid
10:20
from an Epstein account.
10:22
Rosuma replied, we have no comment.
10:25
Oh, I bet you don't.
10:28
So I'm gonna take that as yes.
10:31
And I have a sneaking suspicion
10:33
that this settlement was paid out.
10:36
Now does that mean everybody's guilty
10:38
and everybody did what was alleged?
10:41
Well, we know that it's not a guilty verdict,
10:45
but it doesn't look good.
10:46
And I know that I speak for most men out there.
10:49
If you're going to accuse me of something like that,
10:51
and it's not true, yo, I'm going down swinging.
10:56
I'm not going to have any kind of settlement whatsoever,
10:59
especially if I have the money to fight the allegation.
11:03
But all of a sudden these people are so quick
11:05
to pay out these settlements, right?
11:08
President Barack Obama.
11:10
Virginia, we are counting on you.
11:12
Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress
11:15
to raid the next election and wield unchecked power
11:18
for two more years.
11:19
But you can stop them by voting yes by April 21st.
11:25
Help put our elections back on a level playing field
11:28
and let voters decide not politicians.
11:31
Vote yes by April 21st.
11:35
Paid for by Virginians for fair elections.
11:38
Hi, this is Alex Cantrowitz.
11:40
I'm the host of Big Technology podcast,
11:42
a longtime reporter and an on-air contributor to CNBC.
11:45
And if you're like me, you're trying to figure out
11:47
how artificial intelligence is changing
11:49
the business world and our lives.
11:51
So each week on Big Technology,
11:53
I bring on key actors from companies building AI tech
11:56
and outsiders trying to influence it.
11:58
Asking where this is all going,
12:00
they come from places like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon,
12:04
So if you want to be smart with your wallet,
12:06
your career choices, and meetings with your colleagues
12:08
and at dinner parties, listen to Big Technology podcast
12:11
wherever you get your podcasts.
12:13
Hey, I'm Josh Spiegel, host of the podcast,
12:15
Lunatic in the newsroom.
12:17
If you enjoy journalism that drifts into mild panic,
12:20
wild overthinking and a guaranteed nervous breakdown,
12:23
Lunatic in the newsroom is for you.
12:25
It's news like you've never heard before.
12:28
The only newsroom with a panic button, you'll laugh,
12:31
you'll cry and gasp and horror
12:33
as the show spirals completely out of control.
12:36
It's not just news, it's emotionally unstable.
12:39
Lunatic in the newsroom, listen today.
12:45
Regarding the questions the White House official
12:47
told news nation last week, the White House,
12:50
would have no visibility into anything
12:52
and nothing to do with decisions allegedly made
12:57
Also would point you to these remarks from Comer
13:00
and post from oversight.
13:02
Epstein's accountant is now the fifth witness
13:04
to tell the committee that President Trump was not involved.
13:08
God, these people are so pathetic.
13:11
That's what this whole committee is about.
13:13
This whole committee is a gigantic BJ for President Trump.
13:17
I hate to be so crass, but that's what it is.
13:21
You know, he pulled Comer aside and was like,
13:23
listen here, Jimmy boy, go out there and make sure
13:27
that I come out of this looking good.
13:30
And that's why he hates Thomas Massey so much by the way
13:33
because Massey wasn't having it
13:35
and he knew that this was gonna be
13:36
nothing more than political theater.
13:38
So we got involved with the discharge petition
13:41
and now Comer and the GOP officials
13:43
that are sitting on this committee are being exposed.
13:46
And frankly, at this point, it seems like the only ones
13:50
who care are Thomas Massey and Nancy Mace,
13:54
but the rest of them, they can't be bothered
13:56
to try and find the truth.
13:58
All they can do is try and protect the president
14:00
and the administration.
14:01
A source familiar with Indyke's deposition told NewsNation
14:05
that Indyke said he was never contacted
14:07
or interviewed by law enforcement regarding Epstein
14:10
or Glaine Maxwell, the deceased financier
14:13
as co-conspirator who is serving 20 year federal prison
14:16
sentence for the sex trafficking of minor females.
14:20
Never even spoke with Indyke.
14:24
How can this be a real investigation if that never occurred?
14:28
How can anyone sit here and tell me
14:30
that this was fully investigated?
14:32
Everybody was looked at, every angle was checked.
14:35
If guys like Darren Indyke weren't even questioned.
14:39
Save the bullshit, save the nonsense
14:42
and miss me with all of it.
14:44
Indyke and Khan were listed as beneficiaries
14:47
in a January 9th, 2017 email,
14:50
about one of Epstein's financial trusts
14:53
referred to as the butterfly trust.
14:55
Indyke reportedly began to work for Epstein around 1996,
15:00
had no idea, never saw anything in all those decades.
15:04
Imagine believing that bullshit?
15:07
Khan and Indyke reached a $35 million settlement
15:10
on behalf of the sex traffickers estate
15:13
in a victim-class action suit.
15:15
Their attorney, Daniel H. Weiner,
15:17
perfect name formed by the way,
15:19
said in a statement in February
15:21
that the settlement is not an admission of guilt.
15:25
We're just paying out $35 million
15:26
because you know, it's fun.
15:29
Because they did nothing wrong,
15:30
the co-executors were prepared to fight the claims
15:33
against them through to trial,
15:35
but agreed to mediate and settle this lawsuit
15:37
in order to achieve finality,
15:39
as to any potential claims against the Epstein's state.
15:42
Weiner said, yeah, so they can get their money.
15:45
Remember, they're the executors.
15:47
They're the ones that are on the line
15:49
to get whatever money's left over.
15:51
So yeah, they're gonna fight tooth and nail.
15:53
Indyke's lawyer Weiner provided his client's opening statement,
15:57
via email to News Nation on Thursday,
15:59
to the House Committee and stated,
16:01
he had no knowledge whatsoever
16:02
of Jeffrey Epstein's wrongdoings.
16:05
In his statements, Indyke said that as the co-executor,
16:09
he helped create the Epstein victim compensation program
16:12
to provide a voluntary and non-confrontational means
16:15
to compensate women who suffered sexual abuse
16:21
You wanted a streamlined process
16:24
that was not going to break the bank.
16:26
So that's why you did what you did.
16:28
And I think that whole entire settlement fund
16:30
turned out to be a gigantic slap in the face
16:33
to a lot of the survivors.
16:34
Due to the court ordered confidentiality restrictions,
16:37
the court approved protocol for the Epstein victim,
16:40
compensation program,
16:41
and agreements with individual claimants,
16:44
the Epstein estate is prohibited
16:45
from providing that information.
16:47
However, any claimant who receives an award
16:50
under the estate funded EVCP or indirect settlement
16:54
with the estate is free to publicly share that information.
16:58
Weiner told News Nation,
17:00
Jess Michaels, the survivor of sexual assault
17:02
by Jeffrey Epstein in 1991,
17:05
told News Nation the fund has a strict legal process
17:08
where victims had to present evidence
17:10
and go through an interview process
17:13
with a claims administrator who was also an attorney.
17:17
Evidence included affidavits, medical records,
17:20
therapy notes, the victims who were paid
17:22
from the settlement fund had been determined
17:25
to have truthful allegations of harm by Epstein
17:28
and his network, not just proximity to his network,
17:32
So if they made the payout,
17:34
that means that Jane Doe 4 was abused
17:37
and they're tacitly admitting it.
17:39
So now the question becomes, what's up with Trump
17:42
and how come there hasn't been a full investigation
17:45
of what Jane Doe 4 said
17:47
and of 600 million the victims only received 125 million
17:52
even after a USVI judge had told the fund
17:55
and a state no limits were to be put
17:57
on survivor compensation.
17:59
Michaels also said,
18:01
and I said that from the jump.
18:03
That should has garbage.
18:06
These women should have got the lion share of this money.
18:10
Back the brings truck up and pile that money up
18:12
on their front lawn.
18:14
Nobody else should be getting this money,
18:16
not the USVI, not anybody.
18:19
Anybody who was victimized by Jeffrey Epstein
18:22
should get this money and the younger you were
18:24
when the victimization happened,
18:26
the more money you should get,
18:28
but unfortunately that did not occur.
18:31
And the estate is still sitting on a gigantic amount of money.
18:35
And I know it's just a gigantic coincidence
18:37
that the people that are set up to get that money
18:40
when all this is over and done with are in dyke and con.
18:43
So yeah, I would say that they have some motivation here
18:47
to settle these suits for as little as possible
18:50
so that they can come out on the back end
18:52
with a gigantic bag.
18:53
And as far as Jane Doe 4 goes,
18:55
if that settlement was paid,
18:57
then of course that leads to a bunch of questions
19:00
about what she said, about Donald Trump.
19:03
Because if she was credible enough to get a settlement,
19:05
shouldn't that mean that she's credible enough
19:07
for at the very least a real investigation
19:10
into the allegations that she made?
19:12
And if not, then the DOJ should provide us information
19:15
as to their decision-making
19:18
and why they decided not to investigate.
19:20
So I think that this has the potential to really blow up.
19:24
We'll have to see what the documentation says.
19:26
But it has that potential
19:28
and just like the rest of the stories we're following,
19:31
we'll continue to follow this one as well.
