He initially told the committee that Epstein&#8217;s estate had reached a settlement with &#8220;Jane Doe 4,&#8221; who had also accused the president of abuse. Mr. Trump has denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein, and the White House has called allegations against him &#8220;<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/epstein-files-on-womans-unproven-claims-about-trump-released-by-doj\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">baseless<\/a><\/span>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a letter to Kahn&#8217;s attorney, Daniel Ruzumna, Democratic Reps. Robert Garcia and Ro Khanna of California said Friday that Kahn&#8217;s account changed later in his deposition, and again the following day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After consultation with your client, you said on the record that Mr. Kahn&#8217;s prior statement regarding &#8216;Jane Doe 4&#8217; was mistaken and that neither you nor Mr. Kahn recognized the name as someone who had brought a claim against Epstein&#8217;s estate,&#8221; they wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Staff attorneys for Democrats on the Oversight Committee heard from Ruzumna on Thursday, according to the letter. The lawyer informed them that Jane Doe 4 had in fact filed a claim against the estate, but it was denied &#8220;and no settlement was reached,&#8221; the congressmen wrote.<\/p>\n<p>But the lawmakers said the &#8220;inconsistent and shifting statements&#8221; continued later that day, when Ruzumna told the committee attorneys he &#8220;could no longer stand by [his] assertion that no settlement was reached with &#8216;Jane Doe 4.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ruzumna stopped short of saying an agreement was struck with the woman. He instead said he &#8220;could neither confirm nor deny whether a settlement was reached,&#8221; according to the letter.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats demanded that Ruzumna confirm in writing whether Jane Doe 4 &#8220;filed a claim against the Epstein estate, and whether she received any settlement from the estate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ruzumna did not immediately reply to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Kahn was one of Epstein&#8217;s closest associates in his final years. He testified on Wednesday that he &#8220;was not aware of the nature or extent of Epstein&#8217;s abuse of so many women until after Epstein&#8217;s death.&#8221; Kahn said during his deposition that, &#8220;had I learned of any of his horrific behavior, I would have quit work immediately.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kahn said in his prepared remarks that he agreed to serve as an executor of Epstein&#8217;s estate because he believed doing so would allow him &#8220;to help alleviate&#8221; the suffering of Epstein&#8217;s victims.<\/p>\n<p>He said the Epstein Victim Compensation Fund &#8220;resolved claims by over 130 women&#8221; in addition to another 60 settlements separately reached by the estate.<\/p>\n<p>After the deposition, Garcia, the committee&#8217;s ranking member, said that Kahn&#8217;s work enabled Epstein, and that his &#8220;massive sex trafficking ring would not have been possible without the consistent payments and services of his long-time accountant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a statement sent to reporters on Friday, Garcia and Khanna noted that Jane Doe 4 was interviewed by FBI agents four times. &#8220;Congress and the public deserve a clear answer about whether the Epstein Estate paid a settlement to an accuser who made serious allegations against Donald Trump,&#8221; they said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Richard Kahn needs to come clean about what the Epstein Estate knows,&#8221; the lawmakers added.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list
