House Oversight Committee to Subpoena Billionaire Les Wexner over Epstein Ties

HeadlineJan 08, 2026

The House Oversight Committee has secured subpoenas to seek testimony from billionaire Les Wexner and two executors of the estate of convicted serial sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The subpoenas come as the Justice Department has released just over 12,000 documents from more than 2 million files related to Epstein — which amounts to less than 1% of its files. That’s despite a measure passed by Congress ordering the DOJ to release the vast majority of the files by December 19. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed in a federal court filing Monday that the DOJ’s supposed efforts to protect the identities of Epstein’s survivors had slowed the process.
