Democrats have spent two years promising the Epstein files would destroy Donald Trump.
Wednesday, they finally had Epstein's own accountant under oath in that room.
James Comer walked out and told reporters what happened next.
Richard Kahn Epstein Testimony Clears Trump for the Fifth Time
Richard Kahn spent more than a decade as Epstein's personal accountant.
He managed the money.
He ran the finances through his firm HBRK Associates.
He was named co-executor of Epstein's estate two days before Epstein died.
If anyone saw the money moving, it was Richard Kahn.
And under oath – with Democrats watching from across the table – Kahn testified he had never seen a single financial transaction connecting Donald Trump or anyone in Trump's family to Jeffrey Epstein.
Chairman James Comer stepped outside the Rayburn Building and said it plainly: "Mr. Kahn testified under oath that — because the Democrats asked this question — that he had never seen any type of transaction to Trump or anyone in his family."
Then he delivered the number Democrats didn't want broadcast: "That makes the fifth witness now that's testified under oath that they've never seen any involvement by Donald Trump or the family."
Five witnesses.
Under oath.
Not one of them saw Trump in the money.
How Democrats Spread a False Epstein Trump Claim and Got Caught on the Record
Democrats weren't finished.
Rep. Suhas Subramanyam of Virginia walked out of that building and told reporters Kahn had testified a Trump accuser received a settlement from Epstein's estate.
He posted it on social media before the deposition was even over.
Here's what he left out.
Kahn's own attorneys went back on the record before the session ended and corrected it directly.
"Earlier testimony from Kahn about the Trump accuser receiving a settlement from the Epstein estate is incorrect," a person familiar with the deposition told Fox News. "When the Democrats asked about Jane Doe 4, they were talking about someone else. Kahn's attorneys went back on the record to clarify that the person the Dems thought was Jane Doe 4 was not an individual they had ever heard of."
The House Oversight Committee noted publicly that more than 17 hours passed after the claim was debunked – and Subramanyam had not corrected or deleted his post.
Democrats ran with a false story. The record corrected it during the same deposition. They said nothing.
Epstein Accountant Reveals Who Actually Paid Epstein: Les Wexner, Glenn Dubin, Leon Black
Kahn did confirm one thing that should put plenty of powerful people on notice – none of them named Trump.
Comer reported that Kahn identified five individuals who transferred significant sums to Epstein: Les Wexner, the billionaire who built Victoria's Secret; Glenn Dubin, hedge fund manager; Steven Sinofsky, former head of Microsoft's Windows division; Leon Black, private equity investor; and the Rothschild family.
The committee has already deposed Wexner.
Leon Black has been asked to appear voluntarily in May.
Why Democrats Can't Let This Go
This is the Steele Dossier playbook, and Comer has said as much.
Democrats selectively leaked documents. They manipulated materials with targeted redactions. Former AG William Barr sat in that same committee room and told them point-blank the prosecution team found no evidence connecting Trump to Epstein's crimes. Robert Garcia told the press Barr couldn't clear Trump.
That's not an investigation. That's a smear operation dressed up in subpoenas.
Meanwhile, the real questions are sitting right there in front of them.
Was Epstein a government intelligence asset – for this or any country or transnational interests? Was there a federal cover-up that let him operate for years after his 2006 arrest? Why did federal authorities give him a sweetheart plea deal that prosecutors from the Southern District of Florida would have blown past if they'd seen evidence of a bigger target?
Those answers matter to Epstein's victims.
Democrats aren't interested in those answers.
They want Trump's name in a headline, and five witnesses under oath haven't given it to them.
The next executor of Epstein's estate – his attorney Darren Indyke – is scheduled for deposition on March 19.
Democrats will be there, still looking.
