Sen. John Husted, a MAGA-friendly Ohio Republican, voted against releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files in November, just months after accepting a $3,500 donation from Les Wexner, a billionaire named as an alleged Epstein co-conspirator, according to campaign filings obtained from the Federal Election Commission.
Les Wexner, co-founder of Bath & Body Works and former client of Jeffrey Epstein, has donated over $116,000 to Husted's campaigns throughout his career, with their financial ties dating back to 2001, as reported by The New Republic and local news outlet TiffinOhio.
Rep. Ro Khanna revealed on the House floor that Wexner was named as an unindicted co-conspirator of Jeffrey Epstein, prompting accusations that the Justice Department is hiding co-conspirators by redacting their names from the Epstein files, despite claims that only victim names were redacted, according to Khanna's statement.
