Epstein files: Billionaire Leslie Wexner deposes before US House panel, rejects ‘co-conspirator’ tag — what he said

Leslie Wexner, the 88-year-old billionaire and former CEO of L Brands, recently appeared before a U.S. House panel to respond to claims linking him to Jeffrey Epstein's illicit activities. In 2019, law enforcement officials implicated Wexner as one of ten 'co-conspirators' in Epstein's prosecution, although he has not faced any charges himself. During his deposition, Wexner categorically rejected the co-conspirator label, asserting that he had no involvement in Epstein's criminal operations. Wexner's connection to Epstein has been a subject of scrutiny, particularly given his significant financial ties to the disgraced financier. The House Oversight Committee summoned him to provide clarity on these associations and any potential insights he might offer regarding Epstein's extensive network. The hearing highlights ongoing efforts to unravel the complex web of Epstein's relationships and the implications for those in his orbit, as public and legal inquiries continue into the extent of Epstein's influence and the accountability of those connected to him.
