OSU Buildings May Lose Wexner Name as ONA Demands Action

The Ohio Nurses Association is pressuring Ohio State University to remove Les Wexner’s name from campus buildings, citing a newly unredacted 2019 FBI document that lists him as a “co-conspirator” in Jeffrey Epstein’s case. OSU has a naming-review procedure and is considering related requests, with ONA seeking a decision before the new University Hospital opens. Wexner has denied wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, saying he was duped and that he has since cut ties with Epstein. The university’s response to the call for removal has not been disclosed publicly.

Wexner: Epstein 'name-dropped' Trump, but they weren't friends

Billionaire Leslie Wexner testified that Jeffrey Epstein would name-drop President Donald Trump as someone he knew, but Wexner says they were not friends and he has no knowledge of any sexual activity involving Trump tied to Epstein; a five-hour deposition video was released by House Oversight Republicans, while Democrats expressed skepticism and vowed further investigation.

Ohio’s Wealthiest Man Faces Fresh Scrutiny Over Epstein Ties Ahead of Congressional Deposition

Billionaire Les Wexner is set to testify to a U.S. House panel about his decades-long ties to Jeffrey Epstein, insisting he cut ties in 2007 and denying any wrongdoing, even as newly unredacted federal files reference him as a “co-conspirator.” The controversy underscores Wexner’s vast Central Ohio influence—from New Albany development and major OSU donations to leadership roles in local nonprofits—while institutions weigh responses to donors amid ongoing investigations, including a separate OSU sexual-abuse lawsuit.

Wexner testifies on Epstein ties, says he was duped and cut ties years ago

Former Victoria’s Secret owner Les Wexner testified before the House Oversight Committee about his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein, insisting he did nothing wrong and cut Epstein loose nearly two decades ago after discovering his abuse. Wexner has said Epstein misappropriated about $46 million of his assets, and reports have suggested Epstein earned hundreds of millions from their financial arrangement. The hearing follows subpoenas to other Epstein associates, including Ghislaine Maxwell (who refused to answer questions) and Bill and Hillary Clinton, as part of ongoing scrutiny. The Epstein Files Transparency Act aims to force broader DOJ release of investigative materials, with millions of pages still potentially undisclosed.
