Billionaire Les Wexner Summoned in Congressional Inquiry into Epstein Files

According to The Independent, U.S. lawmakers plan to depose Les Wexner as part of their ongoing investigation into documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein.

Fact Check
Multiple credible and high-authority news outlets clearly report that Les Wexner was subpoenaed or summoned to testify in a U.S. Congressional inquiry specifically connected to the Epstein files. These reports consistently state that the House Oversight Committee planned to depose Wexner on matters relating to Jeffrey Epstein, with the location changed from Washington D.C. to Ohio. Details from several independent sources corroborate that this was part of a formal congressional probe into the release and content of Epstein files, and that Wexner’s ties to Epstein were a central focus. There is no substantive contradiction in any of the coverage, and no credible evidence suggesting he was not summoned. Some articles additionally mention related legal matters (Ohio State abuse survivors lawsuit), but these are separate proceedings and do not undermine the core fact of the congressional inquiry. The consistency, specificity, and authority of the reporting make it highly probable that the statement is true.
