The definition of #terrorism is VERY flexible these days, @DoomsdaysCW! But the FBI should note that the High Court in #London has rule the proscription of #Palestine Action to be ILLEGAL, precisely because it violated their rights to freedoms of expression & assembly (https://theconversation.com/palestine-action-why-the-high-court-ruled-against-the-government-and-what-it-means-for-the-future-of-protest-275976). Will the US courts be that different, @Nonilex?

“The attorneys emphasized Wexner’s relationship with Epstein was more professional than social,” the memo states.
2 weeks after that meeting, #Epstein was found dead in his jail cell. Prosecutors shifted the investigation to focus on the enablers of his #SexTrafficking.
In mid-Aug 2019, the #FBI listed a string of 8 “co-conspirators” associated with Epstein in a document. #LesWexner’s name & photo were included, the document included no details about why the individuals were labeled that way.

The #FBI fielded other tips about #LesWexner & #Epstein, the files show. In 2019 a man named Richard Adrian called the FBI & said he served as Wexner’s bodyguard in 1991 & 1992. He described Wexner as “best friends with Epstein,” & said he’d seen “young girls” at Epstein’s Palm Beach home but “assumed they were family.”
“Adrian was told by another bodyguard to keep to yourself & not ask questions,” the memo said.

An #FBI interview report related to #Epstein in 2011 shows agents were told someone “provided an erotic massage to Leslie Wexner in New York.” The individual’s name is redacted in the publicly released file, but statements in the interview overlap with those made elsewhere by #VirginiaGiuffre, one of the most prominent Epstein victims.

“Mr. Wexner was never at Epstein’s Palm Beach home in the presence of young girls,” a spox for #LesWexner said.
As the investigation proceeded, Wexner hired Mary Jo White, a fmr federal prosecutor, who met prosecutors along with his other attorneys three weeks after Epstein’s arrest. Wexner’s lawyers denied that he had any knowledge of illegal sexual activity. They also explained the financial history between Wexner & #Epstein, acc/to the internal #DOJ memo.

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.
An email shows a federal prosecutor stated investigators were “interested in knowing about his relationship with #Epstein & his knowledge & observations of Epstein with young girls.”
That same year, a victim said that Epstein had sexually assaulted her in #LesWexner’s home in Ohio, acc/to a court affidavit. Wexner’s attys told prosecutors Epstein owned a property about a half mile away & that Wexner’s security team was not aware of any inappropriate incident occurring on the Wexner property.

But #Epstein repeatedly talked about #LesWexner or sought to contact him in the years that followed. In one 2010 message released by the #DOJ, Epstein appeared to gripe that someone in Wexner’s office “would not confirm” his email address. Other messages show Epstein associates sending him info about Wexner-related business interests or organizations.
While Wexner may have sought to cut all ties, authorities were still trying to untangle the nature of his long relationship with Epstein.
