A Republican lawmaker leveled a stunning allegation last week∶ Not only had government documents named a #billionaire retail magnate a #CoConspirator in #JeffreyEpstein’s #SexTrafficking case, the #DOJ had tried to shield the man from #accountability.

“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.”

Brad Edwards, an attorney for several #Epstein accusers, has said he had not seen information showing #LesWexner was in Epstein’s company at the time of his crimes.
When Epstein was indicted for a second time in 2019, federal prosecutors tried to get their arms around Epstein’s finances—including his dealings with Wexner. Authorities identified him as a key person they wanted to interview & subpoenaed him along with a slew of other Epstein associates, acc/to documents.

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.

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.

“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.

@Nonilex Yeah, 47 different underage girls, of course they were family

“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.

December of that year, memos from federal prosecutors about the #Epstein case described #LesWexner & his relationship with Epstein. While some names & sections are redacted in versions released by the #DOJ, the publicly available memos do not allege that Wexner committed any crimes.
#GhislaineMaxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend, became the prosecution’s main target. She was arrested the following year & later convicted of #SexTrafficking minors.
