Ex-Victoria’s Secret CEO Les Wexner says he was ‘conned’ by Epstein
AI Summary
Former Victoria's Secret CEO Les Wexner testified before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, claiming he was "conned" by Jeffrey Epstein and had no knowledge of Epstein's crimes. Wexner, the founder of L Brands, gave the closed-door testimony in Ohio after being subpoenaed as part of the committee's investigation into Epstein and his associates. He stated he was naive to trust Epstein, whom he described as a con man, while maintaining his innocence. Democratic lawmakers suggested Wexner downplayed the closeness of their relationship and provided limited new information. Some committee members emphasized Wexner's role in enabling Epstein's wealth and, consequently, his ability to commit crimes.
