US EditionHouse Democrat: 'Very Hard to Believe' Wexner Testimony
Les Wexner denied ever being contacted by the FBI or DOJ about Epstein despite managing his finances and association spanning nearly two decades, amid ongoing congressional scrutiny.
- In New Albany on Wednesday, Wexner testified under oath that federal law enforcement never interviewed him about Jeffrey Epstein, denying FBI or DOJ contact, and said `Never,` during the recorded testimony aired on C-SPAN.
- Recently released FBI files prompted congressional investigators to scrutinize Wexner's interactions with young women in Epstein's presence, with depositions of Bill and Hillary Clinton scheduled for next week.
- Only Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee asked questions during Wexner's deposition at his New Albany mansion, with some Republican staff present, and Democrats said he was not sufficiently forthcoming.
- Democrats noted that over 50% of Epstein-related records remain unreleased, fueling demands for greater transparency, as the committee criticized the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, said Rep. Robert Garcia.
- Locals said the deposition has tarnished the city's reputation, despite Wexner's role in purchasing about 10,000 acres and funding local projects.
