US House sets deposition dates for Les Wexner, Epstein associates

The U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has set deposition dates for New Albany billionaire Les Wexner and the two executors of the estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Rep. Robert Garcia, D-California, obtained the subpoenas Jan. 7 for depositions from Wexner, along with Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, who are Epstein’s long-time lawyer and accountant, respectively, and the co-executors of the Epstein estate.

Wexner will be required to testify Feb. 18, while Khan will testify Feb. 25, according to a copy of the subpoena. Indyke will testify March 5.

Garcia said Wexner was being subpoenaed because public reporting “has documented their longstanding ties, including the fact Wexner paid for Epstein’s home in New York City.” In addition, Virginia Giuffre named Wexner in a deposition as one of the men to whom she was trafficked, he said.

According to Wexner’s legal representative, Wexner “will cooperate fully with any governmental inquiry into Epstein, just as he did regarding the U.S. Attorney’s investigation into Epstein in which Mr. Wexner was told that he was neither a co-conspirator nor target in any respect.”

Who is Les Wexner? About his relationship with Epstein

Wexner was the founder of L Brands, which previously included Victoria’s Secret, Abercrombie & Fitch and Bath & Body Works. He stepped down as the company’s chief executive officer in 2020.

Wexner has long maintained that he severed ties in 2007 with Epstein over sex abuse allegations. Emails that came to light in December 2025, however, show that four days before Epstein pleaded guilty in Florida in 2008 for soliciting sex from a minor, he received an email from Wexner.
