Darren Indyke, a lawyer who worked closely with Jeffrey Epstein for decades and serves as an executor of his estate, testified to the House Oversight Committee on Thursday that he "had no knowledge whatsoever" of his client's crimes.

Indyke was perhaps Epstein's closest associate dating back to the 1990s. He was involved in assembling Epstein's complex web of businesses, properties and legal teams for a voluminous tangle of civil and criminal matters.

In his prepared remarks, Indyke told the committee behind closed doors that he did not socialize with Epstein and described himself as "one of many attorneys whom Mr. Epstein regularly consulted."

"Not a single woman has ever accused me of committing sexual abuse or witnessing sexual abuse, nor claimed at any time that she or anyone else reported to me any allegation of Mr. Epstein's abuse," Indyke said.
