The House Oversight Committee advanced its Jeffrey Epstein investigation on Wednesday by authorizing fresh subpoenas targeting billionaire Les Wexner and the two men overseeing the late financier’s estate.
Committee Action
Members voted to compel testimony from Wexner, who employed Epstein as his personal money manager for decades. They also approved subpoenas for estate co-executors Indyke and Kahn.
The subpoenas require final signature from Chair James Comer and a scheduled appearance date before delivery.
Wexner’s Ties
- Hired Epstein in the 1980s to handle personal finances
- Publicly cut ties in 2019 letter after Florida abuse allegations surfaced
- Claimed Epstein “misappropriated vast sums” once relationship ended
- FBI 2019 email listed his name among possible co-conspirators, though prosecutors later told his attorney he was “neither a co-conspirator nor target”
Estate Cooperation
Attorney Daniel Weiner said Indyke and Kahn have complied with earlier record demands and “fully intend to continue their cooperation.”
Weiner emphasized:
> “They did not socialize with Mr. Epstein, and they have always rejected as categorically false any suggestion that they knowingly facilitated or assisted Mr. Epstein in his sexual abuse or trafficking of women.”
Broader Investigation
The committee has previously subpoenaed:
- Bill and Hillary Clinton
- Former Justice Department officials
- Epstein estate documents
The probe centers on potential government wrongdoing related to Epstein’s activities.
Key Takeaways
- Committee expands subpoena list as it examines Epstein network
- Estate representatives pledge ongoing cooperation
- Wexner previously denied knowledge of Epstein’s crimes
- Next step: formal subpoenas must be drafted and signed
Congress continues pressing for answers in the long-running Epstein saga.
