Billionaire Denies Everything Except Being ‘Conned’ By Pedophile Accountant
KEY POINTS
- •Les Wexner testified for six hours in Ohio, denying wrongdoing and calling Epstein a con man.
- •Democrats led the deposition while Republicans, including Chairman James Comer, were absent or watching from the sidelines.
- •Wexner claims only one family visit to Epstein's island and denies accusations from Epstein victims and co-conspirators.
Les Wexner, 88, former Victoria’s Secret owner turned ‘ultimate victim,’ faced six gruelling hours of questions about his cozy 1980s bromance with Jeffrey Epstein in Ohio. Despite showing less remorse than a cat caught knocking over a vase, Wexner insists he was duped blind by his ex-financier-friend, who had power of attorney to squander an alleged $46 million of the Victoria’s Secret coal miner’s fortune. He claimed to have spent only one hour on Epstein’s infamous pedo island—with family in tow—because, apparently, socializing with billionaires needs a chaperone. Democrats grilled Wexner while Republicans practiced their ghosting skills, including James Comer, who was out with ‘major oral surgery.’ Meanwhile, Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell called Wexner Epstein’s ‘closest friend,’ but Wexner insists their history is about as close as his Manhattan townhouse sale price and reality.

Wexner’s defense: Epstein was just a ‘world-class con man.’ Sounds like the perfect job description for a sex trafficker with access to billionaire trust funds.
If denial were an Olympic sport, Wexner just took home gold while Epstein laughed from the afterlife.
Wexner says Epstein ‘conned’ him out of millions, yet he only ‘recalls’ one family visit to pedo island. Memory or PR strategy?
