"In his written statement, Wexner described Epstein as a conman and said he had been naive, foolish, and gullible to put any trust in the convicted sex offender. Wexner said he was introduced to Epstein in the mid-1980s and later hired him to manage his vast wealth acquired as the founder of L Brands, which also operated leading brands like The Limited, Express, Bath & Body Works, and Abercrombie & Fitch."
"Wexner said he had irrevocably cut ties with Epstein after learning that he was an abuser, a crook, and a liar around 2007, a year after the late financier was first arrested for soliciting prostitution from a minor in the state of Florida. Wexner said his wife, Abigail, had discovered that Epstein had stolen vast sums from our family, and following this revelation, he never spoke to his former adviser again."
"The Democrats on the panel had subpoenaed the 88-year-old billionaire after the latest release of Epstein-related documents by the Department of Justice (DOJ) revealed new details about his relationship with the well-connected financier. Five committee members travelled to Wexner's home in Ohio to take a deposition from him in a closed-door session. He was questioned for six hours, and a video and transcript are to be released soon."
