Leslie Wexner

Plaintiffs suing Ohio State University in the case involving Dr. Richard Strauss, the former team doctor who sexually abused athletes, wants Les Wexner, a former Ohio State trustee, to be deposed.

The U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday secured the subpoena for Ohio billionaire Les Wexner.

Heavily redacted emails released by the U.S. Department of Justice appear to show Les Wexner, Ohio's richest man, was investigated by the FBI as a co-conspirator in Jeffrey Epstein's 2019 sex trafficking case. Wexner's lawyer denies this.

The New York Times Magazine story reports Lex Wexner was warned Jeffrey Epstein was "a rat" and couldn't be trusted, yet Wexner hired Epstein anyway. Epstein went on to siphon tens of millions of dollars from Ohio's richest man while building a sex trafficking ring.

Victims of former Ohio State team doctor Richard Strauss demonstrated at the board's Thursday meeting. Wexner is defying a subpoena in their lawsuit against the university. The board's chair is Wexner's friend and one-time lawyer John Ziger.

The Wall Street Journal reported Lex Wexner signed the 50th birthday card given to Jeffrey Epstein and drew an image of a naked woman. This comes as debate continues to rage about Epstein and whether President Donald Trump should release documents related to Epstein's sex trafficking crimes.
