Les Wexner Issues A Statement Prior To His Epstein Related Congressional Appearance (2/18/26)

Les Wexner Issues A Statement Prior To His Epstein Related Congressional Appearance (2/18/26)

In a detailed written statement submitted ahead of his closed-door deposition before the U.S. House Oversight Committee, billionaire Les Wexner said he was “pleased” for the chance to “set the record straight” about his long-standing financial and personal connection to the late Jeffrey Epstein. Wexner described Epstein as a “con man” and said he had been “naïve, foolish, and gullible” to trust him, but emphatically denied ever having any knowledge of or involvement in Epstein’s criminal conduct. He reiterated that he cut all ties nearly two decades ago when he learned of Epstein’s misconduct, asserted he had “done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide,” and called attention to the pain suffered by Epstein’s survivors, expressing sympathy for their suffering.

Wexner also portrayed himself as a family man, philanthropist, and longtime Ohio community leader, framing his statement around a desire to correct what he characterized as “outrageous untrue statements and hurtful rumor, innuendo, and speculation” about him. He stressed his long career building retail brands, his ethical values, and said that his relationship with Epstein ended after he discovered financial misconduct rather than criminal activity. Throughout the statement, he sought to distance himself from the most egregious aspects of the Epstein scandal while acknowledging the opportunity to cooperate with congressional inquiries.
