House Oversight Committee Votes to Subpoena Billionaire Les Wexner in Epstein Probe
The House Oversight Committee voted to subpoena billionaire Les Wexner in its ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s network, setting up a deposition that could shed new light on one of the most scrutinized financial relationships tied to the late sex offender.
The move immediately intensifies conflict around how Epstein cultivated elite connections and raises fresh questions about the role powerful figures may have played in his activities.
According to Reuters and Bloomberg, the Oversight Committee approved subpoenas Wednesday for Wexner and two executors of Epstein’s estate to give testimony, part of a broader probe into Epstein’s finances and associations.
Wexner, the former CEO and founder of the company that once owned Victoria’s Secret, employed Epstein as his personal financial manager for years and allowed him access to significant financial and legal authority, though he has not been charged with wrongdoing.
The subpoenas were supported by both parties, underscoring growing pressure on Congress to uncover answers after legislation forced the partial release of millions of pages of Epstein-related documents. The timing comes as lawmakers push for more complete disclosure of files held by the Justice Department.

“One step closer to delivering justice for survivors and truth for the American people,” said Rep. Robert Garcia, the panel’s top Democrat.
This matters because Wexner’s connection to Epstein has been a focal point of public debate about how the financier brokered access and influence across elite circles, and his deposition could expose new evidence about financial flows and decision-making.
Next up, the Oversight Committee will announce dates for the depositions and expected testimony scope, with potential follow-ups from additional witnesses tied to Epstein’s global network.
The committee’s action marks a significant escalation in its long-running scrutiny of Epstein’s associates.
