What's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. The Congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein continued yesterday as the committee deposed Darren Endyke, Jeffrey Epstein's longtime lawyer. And of course, Darren Endyke said he had no idea about Jeffrey Epstein's crimes and that he never saw anything that would even come close to to what Jeffrey Epstein was accused of. Oh, and those withdrawals that he made when he was structuring and avoiding Title 31, well, that's because he had trouble getting a credit card. Meanwhile, the withdrawals were coming from Epstein's account. And if Indyke was having trouble getting a credit card, he could have easily just got one of Epstein's. He was conducting Epstein's business, not his own. And I don't need the transcript to tell you that if that's what he said, he perjured himself. And considering who we're talking about here, my guess is it wasn't the only time that he was playing loose with the truth. If Darren Indyke tells the truth, he is going to implicate himself, and obviously that's the last thing he wants to do. So let's dive into this article from cnn, and let's see what they have to say about the deposition of Darren Endyke. Headline, Longtime Epstein Attorney says he Didn't Know of the financiers sexual abuse. This article was authored by M. Steck and Annie Grayer, Jeffrey Epstein's longtime employee and attorney. Darren Indyke testified to lawmakers on Thursday that he had no knowledge whatsoever of the convicted sex offender's wrongdoing and rejected any suggestion he assisted or facilitated his former boss's crimes, according to a copy of his opening statement. Well, that settles it. Darren Indyke told you he had nothing to do with it, so we should just move on, right? Find somebody else to talk to. It's not me, babe. It's not me. Had I known that he was abusing or trafficking women, I would have quit working for him at once and severed all ties to him, Indyke said in an opening statement to the House Oversight Committee, a copy of which CNN obtained. The truth is that I did not know what Mr. Epstein did after hours, behind closed doors and in places where I was not present. You sure signed a lot of paperwork, though, didn't you? How many lawsuits did you settle? How much hush money did you pay? How many sham marriages did you set up? How much immigration fraud was involved? And if Darren Endyke says none, then I'm gonna say, in my opinion, he's lying. And I don't just pull that out of my hat. I think we have reams of evidence that point to Darren Indyke being a major cog in the Epstein machine. And if Epstein would have been charged with RICO like he should have been, Endyke would have been charged as well. Indyke, one of Epstein's longest serving employees, worked as an attorney for him for more than 20 years on corporate, transactional and general legal services. He described his work as a consulting role for an entirely legitimate purpose. The closed door deposition lasted for roughly eight hours. An entirely legitimate purpose, huh? I'm pretty sure that all the people that were wronged wouldn't feel the same way. Whether it's financially, whether it's physically or anything in between. I highly doubt legitimate is involved. Democrats say they believe that Indyke is not credible for saying he had no knowledge of Epstein's crimes and said Indyke may have perjured himself in his deposition. Well, I haven't seen the transcript, so I'll take the same stance I always do until we look at that. But I have no doubt that Endyke was telling stories. He has to. If not, he's going to incriminate himself, right? So Endyke is in a spot. Now, do I think he's ever going to be charged with perjury or lying to Congress? Hell no. They don't have the guts. And remember, this whole entire procedure is nothing more than procedural. If you think that James Comer and his band of merry men are going to do anything as far as real oversight here or really hold anyone accountable, you have not been paying attention. If it wasn't for the discharge petition, forget it. Democratic Representative Dave Minn, a lawyer and former law professor, said of the deposition, it's just not credible to claim that you had no knowledge of what was happening. I'm very surprised that he did not take the Fifth Amendment. I think it's very likely that he perjured himself over and over and over again. The Congressman said, and look, I wasn't in the room, right? So I'm not going to sit here and tell you that Dave Min's telling the truth. I don't know. But one thing I definitely do know after all these years is that Darren Indyke is not exactly what I would call a truthful person. So if Dave Min is saying that he perjured himself, he probably did. And if I was a betting man and you were laying odds, I would take the bet that he perjured himself. Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett said, I can tell you that he has been quite defensive of Jeffrey Epstein. Almost as if he still doesn't believe Jeffrey Epstein to be who Jeffrey Epstein was. Well, that's because fellow travelers and all, right, A lot of these people that come out and say, oh, well, I'm abhorred by what Jeffrey Epstein was up to, we're actually in on it. They were there, they were around. They knew, they heard, they didn't care. Why should they? Some vulnerable girl from West Palm Beach? What does that matter to them? Hey, Jeffrey, you got that 500,000 for me? That's what matters. Not poor people, not vulnerable girls, not you or me. More money, more power. More, more, more, more, more, more. It's always more. And inevitably, that more comes from you. Lawmakers are seeking answers on Endyke's work and his knowledge of Epstein's financial dealings. The testimony occurred behind closed doors. The lawmakers are expected to release a video later. Well, I want the transcript. What's up with the videos? Let's get the transcripts. Videos are great, but the transcripts are important, too. So hopefully we get the actual written portion of this, the transcript, so that we can dive into it. In his opening statement, Indyke pushed back on allegations that he withdrew thousands of dollars in cash on Epstein's behalf to avoid triggering bank suspicions. He said the cash was not used for any improper purposes. Bro, you were structuring. Stop the nonsense. We talked about this years ago. All of a sudden, you weren't structuring. I mean, that might work on somebody else, but not me. I used to manage a sports book in Las Vegas. I know all about Title 31. And if any of my players were trying to do what Darren Endyke did, they'd be hit with a SAR so quick that it would make your head spin. Police investigators found that Epstein often paid young girls and women between 200 and $300 that the woman said came after he abused them under the guise of performing massages in the mid 2000s Min. Said he asked Ndyke about a $725,000 cash withdrawal he made using a maximum of 7,500 per withdrawal to not trigger federal reporting and said that Indike couldn't describe what that was for. Well, Epstein said it was for gas for the plane, remember? Oh, this is for fuel. And of course, the bank was happy to help him out. But now Endike has no idea. He has no clue what's going on. I guess it's just another case of Epstein amnesia. In his opening statement, Indyke also categorically denied that he helped coerce young women into same Sex, sham marriages with each other to circumvent immigration, calling it 100 untrue. Well, I think he's lying and I think the evidence backs it up. And all it's going to take is one of these girls to come forward and say, yeah, this happened and Endyke is cooked. And I have a sneaking suspicion that's gonna happen. These allegations were made in a 2024 class action civil lawsuit filed by Epstein victims against Endike and his fellow co executor of Epstein's estate, Richard Kahn. The suit alleged that the two were facilitators in Epstein sex trafficking operation and were also integral in allowing Epstein to escape justice for years by concealing his litany of crimes. The pair strongly deny the allegations. Recently, the estate agreed to settle the lawsuit for up to 35 million, but admitted no wrongdoing. The court preliminarily approved the settlement earlier this month. It's always accept the suit, but with no wrongdoing. Right. Hell of a system we have set up here in America when you can buy your way out of allegations like these. Addressing the committee, Endyke also said that after Epstein was convicted in 2008 on state charges for soliciting prostitution from a minor, his former boss appeared devastated and extremely contrite. Yeah, devastated and contrite. He got caught. Well, you think he had remorse for what he did? We all know the answer to that. Listen to him explain it himself. Oh, it's like stealing a bagel. What? You abuse literally thousands of people, you sick, degenerate fuck. What do you mean, it's like stealing a bagel? He was adamant that he had no idea that anyone involved was underage and personally assured me he would never again let himself be in that position. I believed him. And I made the mistake of believing Mr. Epstein that he would not again commit a crime. I deeply regret doing so. Most importantly, I feel horrible for those women who Mr. Epstein abused, said Endyke. Does he mean the women whose abuse he facilitated? Is that what he means? Because from where I'm sitting here in the peanut gallery, I think that the evidence certainly points in that direction. House Oversight Chair James Comer said that Republicans asked Ndyke why he continued to work with Epstein after he was convicted in 2008. Well, maybe someone should ask Comer why he didn't show up to talk to Les Wexner. That might have been an important deposition. No, but they're done with Les Wexner. They have nothing left to ask him. He said that Epstein told him it was a mistake it was a one time deal. He didn't know the girl was underage, the one that he got convicted of in West Palm Beach. And Indike said he convinced him that he would never do it again and said that he had remorse. So that was about it. Comer said, wow, imagine sitting on that committee and listening to that nonsense. I would be seething. Democrats also said that Indyke could not give a straight answer about whether an accuser of President Donald Trump was given a settlement, which was an issue that came up during the panel's deposition last week with Epstein's accountant, Richard Kahn. It's very concerning that the story around Jane Doe 4 as it relates to the executors of the estate has now changed four or five times whether there was ever a settlement. So until we get an answer on that question, we will not be satisfied. Democratic Representative Robert Garcia said, well, I can agree with that. Like we need to know the deal. Was the settlement paid out or wasn't it? It shouldn't be this big of a deal to find out. Democratic Representative Melanie Stansberry said that she believes that there are two separate women who have made allegations against Trump because in the deposition on Thursday, Indyke would not confirm if the woman who filed the lawsuit and restraining order against Trump that appeared in the Epstein estate files was a separate individual from, from Jane Doe fore who appears in the Department of Justice Epstein files. I asked today if these were two different individuals and he could not confirm. I believe that these are two different allegations involving two different minors. Stansberry said Trump has consistently denied wrongdoing in connection with Epstein and the name appearing in the Epstein case files is not evidence of wrongdoing. Well, that's true, but when you're mentioned, what, 38,000 times or something, people are going to have some questions. And then of course you have this war that just happens to kick off coincidentally in the middle of all of this, people are going to have some questions. In his opening statement, Endike pointed to his work as co executor of Epstein's estate, which has cooperated with the committee's requests for evidence and material as if they had any choice. I mean, come on. The estate also established a restitution program for Epstein victims called the Epstein Victim Compensation Program, which doled out 121 million to 136 women. The estate has also settled multiple civil lawsuits filed by victims and agreed to pay 48 million to an additional 59 women. And that compensation fund didn't even pay out the amount of money to all those women, 136 of them as they did to the USVI. But go ahead and tell me how this is all a cash grab. Less than a million dollars each is what these women got. When you look at the aggregate total, all of that for a lifetime of pain. Sounds like a great deal, huh? Garcia said that there are two areas of the committee subpoena to the Epstein estate, which Ndyke helps oversee, that have not been provided to the committee. The missing documents include court records in the case between Virginia Roberts and Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as various documents related to businesses, firms and organizations that had communications with Epstein. Garcia claimed that the estate had has asked oversight Republicans for clarity on which documents they need. But Republicans are stalling. Of course they are. That's the whole entire trick. Comer defended the Epstein's estate compliance with his subpoena and said the reason they haven't pushed to get the remaining documents is because they overlap with other subpoenas the committee has issued and is receiving documents for. Oh, this guy is just too much. This guy is way too much to deal with. James Comer, you're gonna go down as one of the biggest clowns maybe in history. When all is said and done and this story is written, you're gonna go down as a big time clown, my friend. And don't think this is over for you because that boomerang is gonna come back around at some point. My hope is that James Comer is on the other end of one of these depositions about his behavior during his investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, because enough is enough. And at this point my question is, who's watching the watchers? In February, Tim Parlator, who previously worked with Indyke and is a former attorney for President Donald Trump, told CNN Randy Kay that Indike worked on the legitimate side of Epstein's business. Oh, of course. Of course he did. Another Trump friend. Are you guys catching on yet? A lawyer for Indyke told CNN in a statement at the time, not a single woman has ever accused Mr. Endyke or Mr. Khan of committing sexual abuse or witnessing sexual abuse, nor claimed at any time that she reported to them any allegation of Mr. Epstein's abuse notice. They don't talk about enabling notice. They don't talk about being co conspirators or, or committing financial crimes because that's what they did. Nobody ever said Indyke and Khan were abusing girls or they were sitting around in the corner in the cuck chair watching. Nobody ever said that. Notice how they don't ask about any of the serious issues. They don't really dive in and dig deep. And then you have Comer coming out and defending it. The lawyer added that both men have denied they knowingly facilitated or assisted Mr. Epstein in his sexual abuse or trafficking of women. Or that they were aware of Mr. Epstein's actions. Knowingly facilitated. I mean, they might have, but they didn't know. Could have been on the slide. Ah, you know what? Maybe I did facilitate them. Now that I think about it, folks, these people think you're stupid, and they think this sham of a committee is going to help them help you move on. But the more they want us to move on, the more we dig in. And that's exactly what I plan on doing here on the podcast. So, like usual, we'll keep an eye on things, and when we get a transcript to add to the catalog, we most certainly will do that. Until then, that's gonna do it for this one.
