Ohio billionaire Les Wexner sat for a six-hour deposition Wednesday at his New Albany mansion as part of an ongoing House Oversight Committee investigation into his former relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Wexner repeatedly denied any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes and said he cut ties with him in 2007 after discovering financial misconduct. He has never been charged in connection with Epstein’s offenses.
House Democrats who participated in the questioning expressed skepticism about Wexner’s claims, pointing to past statements describing Epstein as a close friend and to emails and financial documents that appear to show continued contact after Wexner says the relationship ended. Wexner’s spokesperson said he “honestly answered every question” and continues to stand by his testimony.
