With the removal of redactions from the Epstein files, the name of world-renowned businessman Lex Wexner has once again come to the forefront as a "potential accomplice," while Elon Musk's direct declaration of being a "co-conspirator" has sparked a new storm in U.S. politics and media.
With the partial release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, the strong statement made by American businessman Elon Musk has sparked a new debate. Musk referred to billionaire businessman Lex (Leslie) Wexner as Epstein's "co-conspirator" in a post on social media.
Lex Wexner had served as the CEO of L Brands, the parent company of Victoria's Secret, for many years and was known to have one of the closest relationships with Epstein. However, until now, the redactions in the Epstein files by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) had prevented Wexner's name from being clearly visible.
WEXNER'S NAME HAS BEEN CLEARLY REVEALED
According to recent news in the U.S. press, the DOJ's removal of some redactions in Epstein documents has brought Wexner's name back to the center of discussions. In the documents, Wexner was mentioned among the names referred to as "co-conspirators" surrounding Epstein.
This development has led to a re-examination of claims that have been voiced in public for years but have not been clearly seen in official documents. It had previously been reported that Wexner granted extraordinary financial privileges to Epstein, left the management of his assets to him for a long time, and that Epstein's luxurious lifestyle in New York was sustained through these relationships.
MUSK'S "CO-CONSPIRATOR" OUTBURST
Elon Musk's direct use of the term "co-conspirator" has caused a strong reaction in political circles and the U.S. media. Musk had previously argued that the Epstein files should be fully disclosed and had reacted to the protection of powerful figures. This outburst from Musk has brought the question "Why has the Epstein network still not been fully uncovered?" back to the forefront, while the redaction policies previously applied by the DOJ have also become a subject of criticism.
Lex Wexner has not been prosecuted for any charges related to the Jeffrey Epstein case to date. His lawyers argue that Wexner was unaware of Epstein's crimes and cooperated with authorities. However, the presence of his name in the files and the removal of redactions have made these defenses controversial in the public eye.
