Lawmaker shares theory behind Epstein accountant's U-turn

Rep. Ro Khanna explained Sunday why he believes Jeffrey Epstein's former accountant Richard Kahn retracted his testimony before the House Oversight Committee.

Kahn initially testified that Epstein's estate paid a settlement to "Jane Doe 4," a woman who accused President Donald Trump of raping her at age 13 in the 1980s.

Hours later, Kahn's attorney walked back the claim.

During an appearance on MS NOW, Khanna told Jen Psaki that the FBI interviewed Jane Doe 4 four times, suggesting credibility.

Khanna proposed that Kahn retracted his statement due to fear of Trump directing Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute him or take retaliatory action. Khanna questioned why Kahn's representatives claimed they could "neither confirm nor deny" payment of a settlement, stating they would definitively know whether funds were disbursed.
