Ohioans Slam Jon Husted For Taking More Than $116k From Epstein Co-Conspirator
February 18, 2026
REPORTING: Husted Took $116,892 From Les Wexner, Including A Max Donation Just A Few Weeks Before Blocking Epstein Files Release
Columbus, Ohio — Today, Ohioans called out Senator Jon Husted outside his Columbus office for taking more than $116,000 directly from Epstein co-conspirator Les Wexner, including a maximum donation just a few weeks before he voted to block the release of the Epstein files.
The rally in Columbus follows mounting criticism from across the state. In Norwalk yesterday, Ohioans called out Husted for being a “pedophile protector.” Husted declined to answer questions about voting to block the release of the Epstein files after taking the maximum donation from an Epstein co-conspirator — instead turning his head and refusing to respond.
Husted is the only Senator up for re-election to take Wexner’s money, and has taken 10 times as much money from the Epstein co-conspirator than any other sitting Senator.
