Rep #ThomasMassie chastised the DOJ in a #House hearing for redacting various names & details in records released with the #EpsteinFiles.

“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 either way, a 60 million dollar townhouse (biggest in NYC) as a gift?
Denmark smells less rotten than this.

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].

Still, documents released in the trove of files this year revive long-simmering questions about Wexner’s decades-old dealings with the now-infamous #SexOffender & offer new insight into what investigators uncovered.
In one undated message, #Epstein appeared to hint at secrets shared between the two men.

“You and I had ‘gang stuff’ for over 15 years,” #Epstein wrote in a typo-filled letter addressed to “Les.” “I have never once, not once, done anything , but protect your interests. I owe a great debt to you, as frankly you owe to me.” The message added, “I had no intention of divulging any confidence of ours.” The specifics of what the letter referred to—& whether Epstein even sent the message—are unclear.

#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.

In 1991, #Epstein obtained #PowerOfAttorney from #LesWexner, which enabled him to buy & sell assets on Wexner’s behalf. “Epstein controlled all of Wexner’s personal finances with virtually no oversight,” acc/to the memo, which describes how Epstein sold himself a NY home & a private plane that had belonged to Wexner at a “deeply discounted price.”
Epstein also introduced Wexner to his high-profile connections, including #PrinceAndrew, a sultan in Dubai & professors at #Harvard, acc/to the memo.

In the mid-2000’s, police in Florida opened an investigation into #Epstein after receiving a report from the parent of a 14-year-old girl that Epstein had #SexuallyAbused the #minor. Around that time, Epstein informed #LesWexner he was having “legal problems involving an overly aggressive police chief & some sort of massage,” acc/to the memo.

A handwritten note released by the #DOJ shows an investigator spoke to an attorney for #LesWexner in 2007, who said his client was “advanced in age & has no interaction with his ‘money manager.’” At the time, Wexner was in his late 60s, served as CEO of the company Limited Brands & remained in that position for more than a decade after.

Amid the fallout of that #Epstein investigation, Wexner’s wife took over the finances & discovered Epstein had misappropriated funds to the tune of “several hundred million dollars,” acc/to the federal memo. In 2008, the year Epstein pleaded guilty to state prostitution charges—part of a federal non-prosecution agreement that allowed him to serve only 13 months in prison—Epstein agreed to return $100M in a settlement to #LesWexner, who acc/to the memo, then ended his relationship with Epstein.

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.

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.

During a deposition for a civil case in 2016, #VirginiaGiuffre was asked whether #LesWexner was “one of the powerful business executives” to whom she had been trafficked. “Yes,” she responded.
Wexner has repeatedly denied that allegation.

A spox pointed to a court document in which one of Wexner’s attorneys stated, “Mr. Wexner was unaware of, and was never a participant in, any of the abhorrent behavior engaged in by #Epstein against Epstein’s victims, that Mr. Wexner had never met Ms. Giuffre, & that any claims to the contrary were not true.”
