“Mr. Wexner was never at Epstein’s Palm Beach home in the presence of young girls,” a spox for #LesWexner said.

As the investigation proceeded, Wexner hired Mary Jo White, a fmr federal prosecutor, who met prosecutors along with his other attorneys three weeks after Epstein’s arrest. Wexner’s lawyers denied that he had any knowledge of illegal sexual activity. They also explained the financial history between Wexner & #Epstein, acc/to the internal #DOJ memo.

The #FBI fielded other tips about #LesWexner & #Epstein, the files show. In 2019 a man named Richard Adrian called the FBI & said he served as Wexner’s bodyguard in 1991 & 1992. He described Wexner as “best friends with Epstein,” & said he’d seen “young girls” at Epstein’s Palm Beach home but “assumed they were family.”

“Adrian was told by another bodyguard to keep to yourself & not ask questions,” the memo said.

Brad Edwards, an attorney for several #Epstein accusers, has said he had not seen information showing #LesWexner was in Epstein’s company at the time of his crimes.

When Epstein was indicted for a second time in 2019, federal prosecutors tried to get their arms around Epstein’s finances—including his dealings with Wexner. Authorities identified him as a key person they wanted to interview & subpoenaed him along with a slew of other Epstein associates, acc/to documents.

A spox pointed to a court document in which one of Wexner’s attorneys stated, “Mr. Wexner was unaware of, and was never a participant in, any of the abhorrent behavior engaged in by #Epstein against Epstein’s victims, that Mr. Wexner had never met Ms. Giuffre, & that any claims to the contrary were not true.”

“Will take down (Pope) Francis,” #SteveBannon wrote to #Epstein in June 2019. “The Clintons, Xi, Francis, EU – come on brother.”

#PopeFrancis was a significant obstacle to Bannon’s brand of nationalist populism. In 2018, the #Trump aide described Francis to The Spectator as “beneath contempt,” accusing him of siding with “globalist elites”.
