Darren Indyke’s Testimony: Denials, Contradictions, and the Expanding Epstein Investigation · The Epstein Chronicles

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
0:03
Epstein Chronicles. The Congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein continued yesterday
0:10
as the committee to pose Darren Endyke, Jeffrey Epstein's longtime lawyer,
0:16
and of course, Darren Endyke said he had no idea
0:20
about Jeffrey Epstein's crimes and that he never saw anything
0:24
that would even come close to what Jeffrey Epstein was
0:27
accused of. Oh, in those withdrawals that he made when
0:31
he was structuring and avoiding Title thirty one, well that's
0:35
because he had trouble getting a credit card. Meanwhile, the
0:38
withdrawals were coming from Epstein's account, and if Endyke was
0:45
having trouble getting a credit card, he could have easily
0:47
just got one of Epstein's. He was conducting Epstein's business,
0:50
not his own. And I don't need the transcript to
0:53
tell you that. If that's what he said, he perjured himself.
0:56
And considering who we're talking about here, my guess is
1:00
it wasn't the only time that he was playing loose
1:02
with the truth. If Darren Endyke tells the truth, he
1:07
is going to implicate himself, and obviously that's the last
1:11
thing he wants to do. So let's dive into this
1:14
article from CNN and let's see what they have to
1:16
say about the deposition of Darren Endyke headlined, longtime Epstein
1:22
attorney says he didn't know of the financiers sexual abuse.
1:27
This article was authored by m Steck and Annie Grayer.
1:33
Jeffrey Epstein's longtime employee and attorney, Darren Endyke, testified to
1:37
lawmakers on Thursday that he had no knowledge whatsoever of
1:41
the convicted sex offender is wrongdoing and rejected any suggestion
1:45
he assisted or facilitated his former boss's crimes. According to
1:50
a copy of his opening statement, well that settles it.
1:55
Darren Endyke told you he had nothing to do with it,
1:57
so we should just move on right. Finds somebody else
2:00
to talk to. It's not me, babe, It's not me.
2:05
Had I known that he was abusing or trafficking women,
2:08
I would have quit working for him at once and
2:10
severed all ties to him and Dyke said in an
2:13
opening statement to the House Oversight Committee, a copy of
2:16
which CNN obtained, the truth is that I did not
2:20
know what mister Epstein did. After hours behind closed doors
2:24
and in places where I was not present. You sure
2:28
signed a lot of paperwork, vote didn't you? How many
2:31
lawsuits did you settle, how much hush money did you pay,
2:35
how many sham marriages did you set up? How much
2:38
immigration fraud was involved? And if Darren Endyke says none,
2:45
then I'm going to say, in my opinion, he's lying,
2:48
and I don't just pull that out of my hat.
2:50
I think we have reams of evidence that point to
2:55
Darren Endyke being a major cog in the Epstein machine.
2:59
And if Epstein would been charged with RICO like he
3:01
should have been in Dyke, would have been charged as well.
3:06
In Dyke, one of Epstein's longest serving employees, worked as
3:09
an attorney forum for more than twenty years on corporate,
3:12
transactional and general legal services. He described his work as
3:16
a consulting role for an entirely legitimate purpose. The closed
3:21
door deposition lasted for roughly eight hours. An entirely legitimate purpose, huh.
3:28
I'm pretty sure that all the people that were wronged
3:31
wouldn't feel the same way, whether it's financially, whether it's physically,
3:35
or anything in between. A highly doubt legitimate is involved.
3:41
Democrats said they believe that in Dyke is not credible
3:44
for saying he had no knowledge of Epstein's crimes, and
3:47
said in Dyke may have perjured himself in his deposition. Well,
3:51
I haven't seen the transcript, so I'll take the same
3:54
stance I always do until we look at that. But
3:57
I have no doubt that in Dyke was telling stories.
4:01
He has to. If not, he's going to incriminate himself. Right,
4:06
So Endyke is in a spot. Now. Do I think
4:09
he's ever going to be charged with perjury or lying
4:12
to Congress? Hell? No, they don't have the guts. And
4:17
remember this whole entire procedure is nothing more than procedur rule.
4:23
If you think that James Comer and his band of
4:25
merry men are going to do anything as far as
4:29
real oversight here or really hold anyone accountable, you have
4:33
not been paying attention. If it wasn't for the discharge petition,
4:37
forget it. Democratic representative Dave min, a lawyer and former
4:44
law professor, said of the deposition, It's just not credible
4:47
to claim that you had no knowledge of what was happening.
4:51
I'm very surprised that he did not take the Fifth Amendment.
4:54
I think it's very likely that he perjured himself over
4:57
and over and over again, the congressman said. And look,
5:01
I wasn't in the room, right, So I'm not going
5:03
to sit here and tell you that Dave Men's telling
5:05
the truth. I don't know. But one thing I definitely
5:07
do know after all these years, is that Darren Endyke
5:11
is not exactly what I would call a truthful person.
5:15
So if Dave min is saying that he perjured himself,
5:18
he probably did. And if I was a betting man
5:22
and you were laying odds, I would take the bet
5:25
that he perjured himself. Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett said, I
5:31
can tell you that he has been quite defensive of
5:34
Jeffrey Epstein, almost as if he still doesn't believe Jeffrey
5:37
Epstein to be who Jeffrey Epstein was. Well, that's because
5:42
fellow travelers in all right, a lot of these people
5:45
that come out and say, oh, well, I'm abhorred by
5:48
what Jeffrey Epstein was up to, we're actually in on it.
5:52
They were there, they were around, they knew, they heard,
5:55
they didn't care. Why should they some vulnerable girl from
6:00
West Palm beach. What does that matter to them? Hey, Jeffrey,
6:04
you got that five hundred thousand. For me, That's what matters.
6:09
Not poor people, not vulnerable girls, not you or me.
6:14
More money, more power, more, more, more and more and
6:18
more and more. It's always more, and inevitably that more
6:23
comes from you. Lawmakers are seeking answers on Indyke's work
6:27
and his knowledge of Epstein's financial dealings. The testimony occurred
6:31
behind closed doors, though lawmakers are expected to release a
6:35
video later. Well, I want the transcript. What's up with
6:39
the videos? Let's get the transcripts. Videos are great, but
6:42
the transcripts are important too. So hopefully we get the
6:45
actual written portion of this, the transcript so that we
6:49
can dive into it. In his opening statement in Dyke
6:53
pushed back on allegations that he withdrew thousands of dollars
6:56
in cash on Epstein's behalf to avoid triggering banks'sions. He
7:01
said the cash was not used for any improper purposes. Bro,
7:05
you were structuring. Stop the nonsense. We talked about this
7:09
years ago. All of a sudden you weren't structuring. I
7:13
mean that might work on somebody else, but not me.
7:16
I used to manage a sportsbook in Las Vegas. I
7:19
know all about title thirty one, and if any of
7:23
my players were trying to do what Darren Dyke did,
7:27
they'd be hit with the sar so quick that it
7:29
would make your head spin. Police investigators found that Epstein
7:34
often paid young girls and women between two hundred and
7:37
three hundred dollars that the woman said came after he
7:41
abused them under the guise of performing massages. In the
7:44
mid two thousands. Men said he asked Indyke about a
7:48
seven hundred and twenty five thousand dollars cash withdrawal he made,
7:52
using a maximum of seventy five hundred per withdrawal to
7:56
not trigger federal reporting, and said that Indyke couldn't describe
8:00
what that was for. Well, Epstein said it was for
8:03
gas for the plane. Remember, oh, this is for fuel.
8:07
And of course the bank was happy to help him out.
8:11
But now Indyke has no idea, he has no clue
8:14
what's going on. I guess it's just another case of
8:17
Epstein amnesia. In his opening statement, Indyke also categorically denied
8:25
that he helped course young women into same sex sham
8:28
marriages with each other to circumvent Immigration, calling it one
8:32
hundred percent untrue. Well, I think he's lying, and I
8:37
think the evidence backs it up. And all it's going
8:41
to take is one of these girls to come forward
8:44
and say, yeah, this happened, and Endyke is cooked, and
8:47
I have a sneaking suspicion that's going to happen. These
8:53
allegations were made in a twenty twenty four class action
8:56
civil lawsuit filed by Epstein victims against Endyke and his
9:00
fellow co executor of Epstein's estate, Richard Kahn. The suit
9:05
alleged that the two were facilitators in Epstein's sex trafficking
9:09
operation and were also integral and allowing Epstein to escape
9:13
justice for years by concealing his litany of crimes. The
9:17
pair strongly denied the allegations. Recently, the estate agreed to
9:21
settle the lawsuit for up to thirty five million, but
9:24
admitted no wrongdoing. The court preliminarily approved the settlement earlier
9:30
this month. It's always accept the suit, but with no wrongdoing. Right.
9:35
Hell of a system we have set up here in
9:36
America when you can buy your way out of allegations
9:40
like these. Addressing the committee, Endyke also said that after
9:45
Epstein was convicted in two thousand and eight on state
9:48
charges for soliciting prostitution from a minor, his former boss
9:53
appeared devastated and extremely Contrite. Yeah, devastated and Contrite got caught. Well,
10:00
you think he had remorse for what he did? We
10:04
all know the answer to that. Listen to him explain
10:06
it himself. Oh, it's like stealing a bagel. What you
10:11
abuse literally thousands of people? You sick, degenerate? Fuck? What
10:14
do you mean? It's like stealing a bagel. He was
10:16
adamant that he had no idea that anyone involved was
10:19
under age, and personally assured me he would never again
10:23
let himself be in that position. I believed him, and
10:26
I made the mistake of believing mister Epstein that he
10:29
would not again commit a crime. I deeply regret doing so.
10:33
Most importantly, I feel horrible for those women whom mister
10:36
Epstein abused, said Dyke, does he mean the women whose
10:40
abuse he facilitated? Is that what he means? Because from
10:44
where I'm sitting here in the peanut Gallery, I think
10:46
that the evidence certainly points in that direction. House Oversight
10:51
Chair James Comer said that Republicans asked Indyke why he
10:54
continued to work with Epstein after he was convicted in
10:58
two thousand and eight. Well, maybe someone should ask Comer
11:01
why he didn't show up to talk to les Wexner.
11:06
That might have been an important deposition. No, but they're
11:09
done with les Wexner. They have nothing left to ask him.
11:14
He said that Epstein told him it was a mistake,
11:17
it was a one time deal. He didn't know the
11:19
girl was under age, the one that he got convicted
11:21
of in West Palm Beach, and Dan Dyke said he
11:24
convinced him that he would never do it again and
11:26
said that he had remorse, So that was about it.
11:29
Comer said, Wow, imagine sitting on that committee and listening
11:35
to that nonsense. I would be seething. Democrats also said
11:40
that Endyke could not give a straight answer about whether
11:43
an accuser of President Donald Trump was given a settlement,
11:46
which was an issue that came up during the panel's
11:48
deposition last week with Epstein's accountant Richard Kahn. It's very
11:53
concerning that the story around Jane do four as it
11:56
relates to the executors of the estate, has now changed
12:00
four or five times. Whether there was ever a settlement,
12:03
So until we get an answer on that question, we
12:06
will not be satisfied. Democratic Representative Robert Garcia said, well,
12:12
I can agree with that, like we need to know
12:15
the deal was a settlement paid out or wasn't it.
12:18
It shouldn't be this big of a deal to find out.
12:22
Democratic Representative Melanie Stansbury said that she believes that there
12:26
are two separate women who have made allegations against Trump
12:29
because in the deposition on Thursday, Dyke would not confirm
12:33
if the woman who filed the lawsuit and restraining order
12:36
against Trump that appeared in the Epstein estate files was
12:40
a separate individual from Jane do Four, who appears in
12:44
the Department of Justice Epstein files. I asked today if
12:48
these were two different individuals, and he cannot confirm. I
12:52
believe that these are two different allegations involving two different miners.
12:56
Stansbury said Trump has consistently the wrongdoing in connection with Epstein,
13:03
and the name appearing in the Epstein case files is
13:05
not evidence of wrongdoing. Well, that's true, but when you're
13:11
mentioned what thirty eight thousand times or something, people are
13:15
going to have some questions. And then of course you
13:17
have this war that just happens to kick off coincidentally
13:20
in the middle of all of this, people are going
13:23
to have some questions. In his opening statement in Dyke
13:27
pointed to his work as co executor of Epstein's estate,
13:30
which is cooperated with the committee's requests for evidence and
13:34
material as if they had any choice, I mean, come on.
13:39
The estate also established a restitution program for Epstein victims
13:43
called the Epstein Victim Compensation Program, which doled out one
13:48
hundred and twenty one million to one hundred and thirty
13:50
six women. The estate has also settled multiple civil lawsuits
13:55
filed by victims and agreed to pay forty eight million
13:59
to an additional fifty nine women. And that compensation fund
14:03
didn't even pay out the amount of money to all
14:06
those women, one hundred and thirty six of them, as
14:09
they did to the USVII. But go ahead and tell
14:13
me how this is all a cash grab. Less than
14:16
a million dollars each is what these women got. When
14:18
you look at the aggregate total, All of that for
14:20
a lifetime of pain sounds like a great deal. Huh.
14:25
Garcia said that there are two areas of the committee
14:28
subpoena to the Epstein Estate, which in Dyke helps oversee,
14:31
that have not been provided to the committee. The missing
14:35
documents include court records in the case between Virginia Roberts
14:38
and Glen Maxwell, as well as various documents related to businesses, firms,
14:44
and organizations that had communications with Epstein. Garcia claimed that
14:50
the estate has asked oversight Republicans for clarity on which
14:53
documents they need, but Republicans are stalling. Of course they are,
14:58
That's the whole entire trick. Comer defended the Epstein's Estate
15:03
compliance with his subpoena and said the reason they haven't
15:06
pushed to get the remaining documents is because they overlap
15:10
with other subpoenas the Committee is issued and is receiving documents.
15:14
Four Oh, this guy is just too much. This guy
15:18
has way too much to deal with. James Comer, You're
15:22
gonna go down as one of the biggest clowns maybe
15:24
in history, when all is said and done and this
15:28
story is written. You're gonna go down as a big
15:31
time clown, my friend. And don't think this is over
15:34
for you, because that boomerang is gonna come back around
15:38
at some point. My hope is that James comer is
15:41
on the other end of one of these depositions about
15:45
his behavior during his investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Because enough
15:50
is enough, and at this point, my question is who's
15:54
watching the watchers. In February, Tim Parlatour, who previously work
16:00
with Indyke and is a former attorney for President Donald Trump,
16:04
told CNN Randy Kay that Indyke worked on the legitimate
16:08
side of Epstein's business. Oh, of course, of course he did.
16:11
Another Trump friend. Are you guys catching on yet? A
16:16
lawyer for Indyke told CNN in a statement at the time,
16:19
not a single woman has ever accused mister Dyke or
16:22
mister Kahan of committing sexual abuse or witnessing sexual abuse,
16:26
nor claimed at any time that you reported to them
16:30
any allegation of mister Epstein's abuse. Notice, they don't talk
16:33
about enabling. Notice they don't talk about being co conspirators
16:37
or committing financial crimes, because that's what they did. Nobody
16:41
ever said Indike and Khan were abusing girls, or they
16:44
were sitting around in the corner in the cuckchair watching.
16:47
Nobody ever said that. Notice how they don't ask about
16:51
any of the serious issues. They don't really dive in
16:54
and dig deep, and then you have comer coming out
16:57
and defending it. The lawyer added that both men have
17:02
denied they knowingly facilitated or assisted mister Epstein in his
17:06
sexual abuse or trafficking of women, or that they were
17:09
aware of mister Epstein's actions knowingly facilitated. I mean they
17:13
might have, but they didn't know. Could have been on
17:16
the slide. Ah. You know what, maybe I did facilitate them,
17:20
now that I think about it. Folks, these people think
17:24
you're stupid and they think this sham of a committee
17:27
is going to help them help you move on. But
17:30
the more they want us to move on, the more
17:33
we dig in. And that's exactly what I plan on
17:36
doing here on the podcast. So like usual, we'll keep
17:40
an eye on things, and when we get a transcript
17:43
to add to the catalog, we most certainly will do that.
17:46
Until then, that's going to do it for this one.
