NEW REPORTING: Husted Voted Against Epstein Files Release After Taking $116,892 From Jeffrey Epstein Co-Conspirator Les Wexner

Columbus, Ohio - New reporting reveals Senator Jon Husted has taken $116,892 from Les Wexner, the longtime friend and benefactor of pedophile and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Further, Husted even took the maximum donation from the Epstein confidant just last July, only weeks before he voted against releasing the Epstein files.

The new reporting comes after Husted voted last year against a bipartisan effort to release the files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Husted is the only Senator up for re-election to take Wexner's money, and Husted has taken 10 times as much money from the Epstein co-conspirator than any other sitting Senator.

Ohio Democratic Party Senior Communications Advisor Tony Wen released the following statement:

"Jon Husted has been bankrolled by Jeffrey Epstein's largest supporter and has even taken his money just last year as he voted to block the release of the Epstein files. Ohioans deserve truth and someone who's actually working for them - not a Senator who protects pedophiles and sides with the rich and powerful. The question is simple: what else is Jon Husted hiding?"

Punchbowl News:

• Donation watch. Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) has a lengthy history of accepting donations from the former CEO of Victoria Secret parent-company, L Brands, Leslie Wexner. Wexner is also a former Jeffrey Epstein associate whose name appears repeatedly in FBI files on the disgraced financier. Wexner's most recent $3,500 donation to Husted came in July 2025.

• Husted's campaign committees have directly received a total of $79,900 from Wexner dating back to 2001. Wexner also donated $10,000 to Husted and Ohio GOP Gov. Mike DeWine's transition fund, in addition to $27,000 to DeWine's campaign after Husted was named his lieutenant governor.

• An FBI document from 2019, recently released as part of the Epstein files, listed Wexner as a co-conspirator for Epstein. Wexner's legal team has insisted Wexner was "neither a co-conspirator nor target in any respect" to the Epstein probe. Wexner hired Epstein to manage his personal finances in the 1980s. Wexner cut ties with Epstein following Epstein's 2007 Florida indictment.

• Wexner is a prominent GOP megadonor who's given to scores of Ohio pols over the years. Husted's team didn't respond to a request for comment and hasn't previously commented on the Wexner donations.
