From businessmen to politicians at the highest levels, Epstein broke bread with them all. Yet for years the Legacy media and the rest of high society looked the other way and ignored his behavior as multiple women came forward with allegations of abuse. Even after he was convicted and subsequently received a sweetheart deal those same so called elites welcomed him back with open arms. Now after his death and the arrest of Maxwell, the real story is starting to come together and the curtain has begun to be drawn back and what it has revealed is truly disturbing. From Princes to Ex Presidents, the cast of scoundrels in this play spans continents and political affiliations leaving us with a transcontinental criminal conspiracy possibly unlike any we have ever seen before. In this podcast we will explore all of the levels of Jeffrey Epstein and his criminal enterprise. From his most trusted assistants to obscure associates, we will leave no stone unturned as we swim through the muck searching for clarity and answers to some of the most pressing questio…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-25T16:18:16.653536+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394"},"episode":{"title":"Mega Edition:   Les Wexner And The Epstein Related Q&A Session With Congress (6/2/26)","slug":"mega-edition-les-wexner-and-the-epstein-related-q-a-session-with-congress-6-2-26","published_at":"2026-06-02T09:00:21+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394/mega-edition-les-wexner-and-the-epstein-related-q-a-session-with-congress-6-2-26","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/mega-edition-les-wexner-and-the-epstein-related-q-a-session-with-congress-6-2-26--72280058","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72280058/megawexnerandthecongressionalinterview.mp3","summary":"Les Wexner’s Epstein-related deposition landed less like a breakthrough and more like another controlled pass through already familiar terrain: Wexner said Epstein conned him, denied knowing anything about Epstein’s sex trafficking, denied participating in abuse, and tried to frame the relationship as professional rather than personal. He described Epstein as a family-office figure who managed parts of his financial life, claimed Epstein stole from him, said he never saw warning signs, and insisted that after Epstein’s 2008 guilty plea, Epstein was essentially “dead” to him. The questioning did force Wexner to address uncomfortable details — the birthday-book message signed “your friend Leslie,” photos of him with Epstein, a visit to Epstein’s island, Epstein’s role around New Albany, and the question of how much money Epstein may have taken — but Wexner’s answers largely stayed inside the same defensive box: he was deceived, he did not know, he does not remember, and Epstein was a criminal predator whose full operation escaped him. The problem is that the process did not appear to substantially move the ball. It produced optics, denials, memory gaps, and a few headline-friendly moments, but very little that fundamentally changed the public record. The public already knew Wexner was one of Epstein’s most important early patrons, that Epstein had unusual access to his money and world, that the relationship helped give Epstein social credibility, and that Wexner has long claimed he was betrayed and financially exploited. What the deposition added was texture, not revelation: Wexner’s own tone, his repeated distancing, his admission about the birthday note, his “con man” framing, and his inability or unwillingness to nail down key specifics. In that sense, the interview r…","meta_description":"Les Wexner’s Epstein-related deposition landed less like a breakthrough and more like another controlled pass through already familiar terrain: Wexner sai…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3605,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394/episodes/mega-edition-les-wexner-and-the-epstein-related-q-a-session-with-congress-6-2-26/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394/mega-edition-les-wexner-and-the-epstein-related-q-a-session-with-congress-6-2-26.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
