Les Wexner And Epstein Related Amnesia

Les Wexner’s February 2026 deposition before the House Oversight Committee was marked by repeated claims that he could not remember important details about his long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, prompting criticism that he appeared to be suffering from a convenient case of “Epstein-related amnesia.” Wexner acknowledged that Epstein managed his family office, handled major financial matters and was given extraordinary authority over his affairs, yet he frequently said he could not recall basic details such as how quickly Epstein went from acquaintance to trusted adviser or specifics about key events during their relationship. He also insisted that he never saw Epstein as a friend and claimed he had no knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activity, despite the fact that Epstein had been deeply embedded in his financial and personal world for years.


That inability to remember stood out because Wexner was not being asked about a casual acquaintance from decades earlier, but about a man who managed his fortune, held power of attorney and became enormously wealthy while working for him. During hours of questioning, Wexner repeatedly fell back on variations of “I don’t recall” when pressed for specifics, while maintaining that Epstein had deceived him and that he had been completely unaware of the conduct that later made Epstein infamous. The result was a deposition in which Wexner provided broad explanations for how Epstein entered and exited his life but often professed little memory of the details in between, leaving lawmakers and the public with many of the same unanswered questions about how Epstein acquired so much money, access and influence through his relationship with one of the wealthiest men in America.
