Epstein Co-Conspirator Les Wexner: “I helped him politically”
Husted Took $116,892 From Wexner, Including A Max Donation Just a Few Weeks Before Blocking Epstein Files Release
Columbus, Ohio — Newly released deposition footage shows Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime friend and benefactor confirming that he backed Jon Husted politically throughout Husted’s career.
Husted has taken $116,892 from Epstein co-conspirator Les Wexner. Husted even took the maximum donation from the Epstein confidant just last July, only weeks before he voted against releasing the Epstein files.

Les Wexner, Epstein Co-Conspirator: I’m sure I helped him. I helped him politically.
Ohio Democratic Party Senior Communications Advisor Tony Wen released the following statement:
“Jon Husted owes us answers. He’s taken more than $116K from an Epstein co-conspirator and then voted to block the Epstein files. Now Les Wexner has confirmed that he is one of Husted’s biggest supporters. Ohioans deserve a Senator who will fight for transparency and justice — not one who protects pedophiles and his billionaire donors.”
Husted is the only Senator up for re-election to take Wexner’s money, and Husted has taken 10 times as much money from the Epstein co-conspirator than any other sitting Senator. Les Wexner’s name appears more than 4,000 times in the released Epstein files and the billionaire was named by the FBI as one of Epstein’s co-conspirators.
