US congressional panel to subpoena billionaire Leslie Wexner over Epstein ties
The subpoena seeks testimony to examine Wexner's financial and personal ties to Epstein amid delays in Justice Department's release of 5.2 million pages of related documents.
- On Jan. 7, 2026 the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform voted to subpoena Les Wexner and Epstein estate co-executors Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn for depositions.
- Democrats on the panel argued subpoenas were needed because the committee seeks testimony to probe Jeffrey Epstein's sex‑trafficking network and pressure grew as DOJ document releases lagged under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
- Previously released records indicate Les Wexner paid for Jeffrey Epstein's New York home, a leather-bound birthday album dated January 20, 2003, and a 2019 FBI email referencing 'Co-conspirators' link them.
- Rep. Robert Garcia said `We secured key subpoenas for billionaire benefactor Les Wexner, and the executors of the Epstein estate`, noting Chair James Comer must sign them before service.
- Despite mostly Republican resistance, a bipartisan agreement with Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., secured several subpoenas, while Les Wexner's legal team says he will cooperate and he has not been accused of wrongdoing.
