Ohioans Call Out Jon Husted For Taking More Than $116k From Epstein Co-Conspirator
February 27, 2026
REPORTING: Husted Took $116,892 From Les Wexner, Including A Max Donation Just A Few Weeks Before Blocking Epstein Files Release
Husted Continues to Dodge Questions From Ohioans Who Deserve Accountability
Toledo, Ohio — Today, Ohioans called out Senator Jon Husted outside his Toledo 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.
Ohioans demanded answers to questions that Jon Husted refuses to answer:
- Jon Husted said he was giving Les Wexner’s money back, but now he’s keeping 83% of the money. Why did Husted lie?
- If the $18,900 Husted took from Les Wexner was a problem, why wasn’t the other $98,000?
- Why won’t Jon Husted return all the money? Does returning 17% of the campaign contributions Husted received from an Epstein co-conspirator make keeping the rest okay?
- What else is Jon Husted hiding? This shows Jon Husted can be bought and cannot be trusted.
The rally in Toledo follows mounting criticism from across the state. Last week, Ohioans protested outside Husted’s Columbus office, calling on him to return all the contributions from the Epstein co-conspirator. Ohioans in Norwalk also called out Husted for being a “pedophile protector,” and Husted declined to answer questions — 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.
