Why did no Republicans attend Les Wexner's deposition?
Not a single Republican showed up to the House of Representative deposition today of Les Wexner in Ohio. He was the main benefactor, the main money supplier of Jeffrey Epstein. The House Oversight Committee conducted this deposition of Wexner today in Ohio. Not a single Republican Congress member showed up. they have completely abandoned even the pretext of conducting further oversight and investigation into jeffrey epstein's sex trafficking ring they were ordered by donald trump and mega mike johnson the speaker of the house do not show up do not be there at all don't even lend your presence to this deposition now a lot of bombshells at this deposition les wexner who's now 88 years old admitted essentially that he had given Jeffrey Epstein about a billion dollars over the course of his lifetime.
He tried to frame it as he was duped by Epstein and Epstein was a con artist. But then Wexner said,
What financial ties did Les Wexner have with Jeffrey Epstein?
admitted in his deposition that he believed he was in rooms with donald trump and epstein at potentially beauty pageants and victoria's secret shows that he was at the island and then when it came to critical details about girls and what was going down at the island what was happening in these meetings with epstein and trump and others He just conveniently did not recall. As Joe Khalil explains, Les Wexner said under oath that neither the FBI nor the DOJ even ever sought to question him regarding Epstein, per the Democrats who sat in. So no questions by the DOJ when several Epstein victims publicly have alleged Wexner's involvement. and FBI documents list Wexner as an Epstein co-conspirator. Folks, the cover-up gets worse.
Let me show you what Democratic Congress member Min said when he announced after the deposition that not one Republican Congress member showed up for this deposition of Les Wexner today. Let's play this clip.
It is very frustrating the fact that there are no Republicans here today. I wish there were Republicans because sex trafficking should not be a D versus R issue. It should be a bipartisan issue. Everybody should be invested in finding the truth right now. And the fact that we've had so little cooperation from the Republicans on the House Oversight Committee that the DOJ has actively tried to obstruct this investigation, that is shameful. And it will go down as a permanent mark on the records of people like Pam Bondi and Donald Trump.
Next, here's what Democratic Congress member and the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee for the Democrats had to say following this deposition. Here's what he wrote. Today's deposition made one thing clear. There would be no Epstein, no Island, no planes, no money to traffic girls without the financial assistance of Les Wexner. We are committed to ending this White House cover up, which protects criminals and billionaire benefactors. a billion dollars from Wexner essentially to Epstein. And apparently the MAGA Republicans don't care about this. They don't care about the victims. They don't care about the survivors. Here, play this clip.
It's about a billion dollars that was either transferred, provided in stocks, or given directly to Mr. Epstein by Wexner. We should be very clear that the two were very close per reporting. They spent a lot of time together. Mr. Wexner admitted that he traveled to both Epstein's Island as well as his other properties. Mr. Wexner also admitted that Jeffrey Epstein had access to a lot of Mr. Wexner's wealth. And when asked even simple questions, even as it relates to Mr. Epstein being the co-president of the foundation that established the area that we're in today, Mr. Wexler had little to say. In fact, it's clear that Mr. Wexler is trying to downplay how close Jeffrey Epstein and Mr. Wexler actually were.
And we should be very clear that there would be no Epstein Island. There'd be no Epstein plane. There'd be no money to traffic women and girls. Mr. Epstein would not be the wealthy man he was without the support of Les Wexner. I think it's very important for us to note at this moment.
