Wexner testifies on Epstein ties, says he was duped and cut ties years ago

Former Victoria’s Secret owner Les Wexner testified before the House Oversight Committee about his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein, insisting he did nothing wrong and cut Epstein loose nearly two decades ago after discovering his abuse. Wexner has said Epstein misappropriated about $46 million of his assets, and reports have suggested Epstein earned hundreds of millions from their financial arrangement.
