#Epstein entered Wexner’s orbit in the 1980s when a mutual friend recommended Epstein as a financial adviser. #LesWexner, who was building the retail empire that made him a #billionaire, drafted him to help with investments, acc/to a federal memo that describes statements from Wexner’s attorneys.
“Based on positive reports from several friends, & on my initial dealings with him, I believed I could trust him,” Wexner later wrote in a letter.
@Nonilex
Les Wexner sold/gave Epstein his Townhouse in NYC. I hope they ask him about that.
They both owned homes in New Albany, Ohio.
@Nonilex There's long been a whisper about was he benefactor or extorted, complicit benefactor.
“This is bigger than Watergate,” #Massie said. “This cover-up spans decades.”
Massie’s comments shined a new spotlight on #LesWexner, the former owner of #VictoriasSecret, who is one of the most mysterious figures in Epstein’s orbit—a key player in helping the financier’s rise to extreme #wealth, whose motivations & ties to #Epstein have long been a source of speculation.

A CNN review of the #DOJ’s #Epstein file release found that, while Wexner’s name was initially #redacted in the “co-conspirator” document, his name appears in hundreds of other records that show federal authorities closely scrutinized #LesWexner & repeatedly sought info from him.
That scrutiny included questioning before #Epstein pleaded #guilty to soliciting #prostitution, including from a #minor, in 2008 & again when authorities pursued a #SexTrafficking case against Epstein a decade later.
@Nonilex Weiner Wexner caught again !!!
Emails show authorities wanted to understand whether #LesWexner had knowledge of #Epstein paying girls for sex acts, & officials subpoenaed Wexner in 2019 & spoke to his attorneys. Another 2019 #FBI document lists Wexner as a “secondary” #CoConspirator but notes, “There is limited evidence regarding his involvement.”

Other records in the #EpsteinFiles include allegations made to the #FBI that #LesWexner interacted with young women & possibly underage girls in #Epstein’s presence. One victim claimed she was trafficked to Wexner—a claim Wexner has denied. Wexner has never been charged with a crime.
Now, members of #Congress have another shot at questioning Wexner, who is 88 yrs old. The retail tycoon is slated to sit for a deposition with the #House #Oversight Cmte Wednesday in Ohio.
#LesWexner has for years denied any wrongdoing related to #Epstein. He said after Epstein’s death he was “embarrassed” that he ever put his trust in the disgraced financier. A spox told CNN that Wexner cooperated with law enforcement & was told in 2019 he “was neither a co-conspirator nor target in any respect.”

#Trump admin officials have vehemently rejected accusations they have sought to #CoverUp any crimes related to #Epstein. In Sept, #FBI Director #KashPatel stated there was “no credible information” Epstein had trafficked victims to other men [lying liar who lies]. Testifying to #Congress last week, AG #PamBondi said investigators would “love” to hear more information from any other victims who come forward [so they can bury it].
