Ansari to Attend Les Wexner Deposition as Member of House Oversight Committee

WASHINGTON – Today, Representative Yassamin Ansari (AZ-03), a member of the House Oversight Committee, will travel to New Albany, Ohio to take part in the deposition of Leslie (Les) Wexner. Wexner is the former CEO of L Brands, Inc., a multinational retail conglomerate that once included Victoria’s Secret, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Bath & Body Works, and is named in the Epstein files.

“Pam Bondi and Trump’s DOJ continue to withhold thousands of pages of the Epstein files from public view and have failed to comply with House Oversight Committee subpoenas and the Epstein Files Transparency Act. What has been released is already deeply disturbing,” said Rep. Ansari. “Les Wexner had a decades-long financial and personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. His name, like those of other powerful businessmen, appears repeatedly in these files. We will pursue answers from anyone with knowledge of who may have been involved in Epstein’s crimes. The victims deserve the full truth, and Oversight Democrats will not rest until there’s justice and real accountability.”
