Les Wexner, founder of Victoria's Secret and other notable brands, testified before a congressional committee, claiming that he was naive to entrust his finances to Jeffrey Epstein, whom he described as a fraud. During the closed hearing, Wexner emphasized that despite being deceived, he had done nothing wrong and has nothing to hide. He repeatedly denied having a close personal relationship with Epstein, downplaying any significant connections between them.

Wexner's testimony, however, left some Democratic committee members unconvinced about his sincerity, as they noted that he disclosed very little information during the meeting. This skepticism has raised questions about the transparency of his dealings with Epstein, particularly given the serious allegations surrounding Epstein's misconduct and exploitation of numerous individuals. The hearing's confidential nature means that the detailed account of Wexner's statements is not publicly available, further complicating the situation.

The implications of Wexner's statements are significant, as he is one of the many high-profile figures now under scrutiny for their past relationships with Epstein. As Wexner seeks to distance himself from Epstein’s legacy, ongoing investigations and public interest in his connections may continue to reflect on corporate governance and ethical responsibilities in business practices, especially in the fashion and beauty industries.
