Trump can’t stop Epstein probe: Billionaire testifies about ‘con man’s’ double life of crime


The video discusses the House Epstein probe and the new testimony from billionaire Les Wexner (0:00). Congress is conducting investigative work that the DOJ failed to do, stretching back through the Trump and Biden administrations (0:25).

Here's a breakdown of the key points:

Les Wexner's Testimony (0:46): Les Wexner, a powerful billionaire, was compelled by the House to testify under oath about his long business history with Epstein (0:49). Lawmakers indicate that over a billion dollars cumulatively went from Wexner to Epstein (1:28).
Wexner's Claims (2:32): Wexner claims he was "duped by a world-class con man" and regrets ever meeting Epstein (2:41). He also suggested Epstein was a "skilled manipulator" living a "double life" (2:50). Wexner maintains he was only one of Epstein's financial victims (3:17).
Lawmakers' Doubts (3:46): Democratic lawmakers express doubt about Wexner's claims of confusion or ignorance regarding Epstein's activities (3:53). They imply he was downplaying how close he and Epstein actually were (4:15).
Epstein Island Visit (4:49): Wexner stated he visited Epstein's infamous island once with his wife and children (4:51). Trump's Commerce Secretary Lutnik made a similar admission, which he had previously lied about for years (4:58).
Ongoing Investigation Challenges (5:41): Maxwell, a convicted Epstein associate, continues to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights, preventing her from leveling with the House (5:41). The video highlights a significant gap between Congress's investigative efforts and the DOJ's actions (6:11).
