Former Victoria's Secret CEO Delivers Explosive Congressional Testimony
In a dramatic congressional hearing that has sent shockwaves through political and business circles, former Victoria's Secret CEO Les Wexner provided stunning testimony confirming the presence of both Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump at Victoria's Secret fashion shows and related events. The testimony, delivered under intense questioning, adds significant new dimensions to the ongoing investigation into Epstein's extensive network of high-profile connections.
Direct Confirmation of Attendance
Wexner, who built Victoria's Secret into a global retail powerhouse, directly acknowledged that both Epstein and Trump attended events connected to the lingerie brand. "I can confirm they were both present at various Victoria's Secret functions," Wexner stated during his testimony, marking the first time such confirmation has come from someone in his position of authority within the company.
However, Wexner was careful to qualify his recollections, noting that while both men attended these high-profile gatherings, he had "no specific memory of them interacting socially" at these events. This distinction becomes particularly significant given the intense scrutiny surrounding relationships within Epstein's circle.
Visits to Epstein Properties Described as "Brief and Uneventful"
The testimony also addressed Wexner's own visits to several of Epstein's properties, including his private island, Palm Beach residence, and the controversial Zorro Ranch in New Mexico. Wexner characterized these visits as short and unremarkable, stating they were "brief and uneventful" encounters that left no lasting impression of wrongdoing.
When pressed about what he witnessed during these visits, Wexner was unequivocal in his denials: "I never saw any misconduct," he testified. "I had no knowledge of any underage activity." These statements represent a firm rejection of suggestions that he might have been aware of illegal activities occurring at Epstein's properties.
Denial of Trump-Epstein Discussions
Perhaps most politically significant was Wexner's testimony regarding any potential discussions between Trump and Epstein. The former CEO explicitly rejected claims that Trump ever discussed Epstein with him, stating clearly that "Mr. Trump never brought up Mr. Epstein in our conversations."
This denial comes amid persistent questions about the nature of relationships between various high-profile individuals and Epstein, who died in prison while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges involving minors.
Broader Implications for Epstein Network Investigation
The testimony represents a substantial development in the ongoing investigation into Epstein's network, providing:
- Direct confirmation from a major corporate leader about Epstein and Trump's presence at Victoria's Secret events
- First-hand accounts of visits to multiple Epstein properties
- Firm denials of knowledge about illegal activities
- Important context about social interactions within elite circles
As congressional investigators continue to unravel the complex web of Epstein's connections, Wexner's testimony provides both confirmation of certain facts and firm boundaries around what he claims to have witnessed. The revelations are likely to fuel further questions about how extensively Epstein infiltrated various elite social and business circles, and what others in those circles may have known about his activities.
The testimony underscores the continuing relevance of the Epstein case in American public life and the persistent questions surrounding relationships between powerful individuals and the convicted sex offender. As the investigation progresses, Wexner's statements will undoubtedly be examined alongside other evidence and testimony to build a more complete picture of Epstein's network and activities.
