The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Leslie Wexner and the executors of Jeffrey Epstein's estate to seek testimony and documents about Epstein's role managing Wexner's finances. The subpoenas were approved amid a narrow Republican majority in the House; Wexner has not been accused of criminal wrongdoing. The Justice Department said it still has roughly 5.2 million pages of Epstein-related files to review.

The U.S. House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed billionaire Leslie Wexner to give a deposition about his ties to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a Democratic member of the panel said on Wednesday. The panel also issued subpoenas for the executors of Epstein's estate after a committee vote.
The committee approved the subpoenas amid a narrow Republican majority in the House. Wexner, the founder and former CEO of L Brands (the parent company of Victoria's Secret), has not been accused of criminal wrongdoing.
Wexner's Ties To Epstein
Epstein had been entrusted with managing significant aspects of Wexner's personal finances and served as trustee of the Wexner Foundation, which has drawn scrutiny from investigators. The Wexner Foundation did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
"We secured key subpoenas for billionaire benefactor Les Wexner, and the executors of the Epstein estate," said Democratic Congressman Robert Garcia, who also thanked Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna for her cooperation.
Justice Department Files And Background
The Justice Department disclosed in late December that it still has about 5.2 million pages of Epstein-related documents to review. The Trump administration, responding to pressure from the former president's political base, ordered the Justice Department to release files tied to criminal probes of Epstein under a congressional transparency law. President Trump has said he had a falling-out with Epstein well before Epstein's 2019 death in jail.
The committee's subpoena seeks testimony and records to clarify Epstein's role and relationships with influential figures; it does not itself allege criminal conduct by Wexner. The move reflects continuing congressional and public interest in the scope of Epstein's network and who may have enabled or benefited from it.
