Billionaire Les Wexner to Be Deposed in Congressional Probe of Epstein Files
Les Wexner will answer questions behind closed doors about his decades-long ties to Jeffrey Epstein amid recent DOJ revelations and increasing survivor demands for accountability.
- Les Wexner will appear for a closed‑door deposition in New Albany, and a transcript will be released later, as part of the Epstein probe.
- On Wednesday, Wexner first met Epstein around 1986 and in 1991 gave Epstein power of attorney, with DOJ records showing his name appears over 1,000 times.
- Court and DOJ documents show extensive contact between Wexner and Epstein, with Wexner’s name appearing over 1,000 times and a 2008 memo saying Epstein repaid him $100 million.
- Survivors say the new records vindicate earlier complaints and have increased pressure on Wexner, with at least one survivor saying she felt vindicated by an FBI report, while a court ruled Wexner can be compelled to testify, heightening legal scrutiny.
- Wexner may invoke his Fifth Amendment rights during questioning, legal observers say the deposition could last hours divided between majority and minority counsel, and experts note out-of-Washington depositions are uncommon and uncomfortable.
