After 300 Days Protecting a Pedophile, Jon Husted Tries to Act Tough
November 18, 2025
Columbus, Ohio — For 300 days in the Senate, Jon Husted has protected a pedophile and covered for the rich and powerful, voting in September to block the release of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Now, after months of silence, Husted is trying to act tough — but his record is clear: he spent nearly a year protecting abusers and burying the truth.
Ohio Democratic Party Senior Communications Advisor Tony Wen released the following statement:
“Jon Husted voted to keep the Epstein files secret to protect the rich and powerful. Now, he is trying to rewrite history and cover it up. Ohioans won’t forget that Husted sided with abusers and pedophiles over the victims of Epstein’s horrific crimes.”
