Wexner also recalled seeing Trump and Epstein at Victoria’s Secret fashion shows, while saying he never personally witnessed them socializing together. He further testified that he had no knowledge of Trump having a Sexual relationship with anyone introduced by Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell.

00:00...in the information that you have?
00:06I think it's really two questions.
00:09Would I think they were friends?
00:11No.
00:13Jeffrey Epstein held him out as a friend.
00:17Great, thank you.
00:19We can go off the record.
00:22Together?
00:23Yes.
00:34I want to answer this question accurately.
00:38I would go to some of the Victoria's Secret fashion shows.
00:41It was very important to the brand.
00:43At some of the fashion shows, Jeffrey was there and some, Trump was there.
00:47And I remember, because Trump would always introduce himself to me,
00:50and I always thought it was kind of odd that he was at the fashion show
00:54because he had nothing to do with fashion.
00:57So the coincidence of them being together at an event,
01:03it could have been that, but I have no specific recollection.
01:07I never had a social, or like a drink or a cup of coffee,
01:10something that would put them together.
01:17Okay, so just to clarify, because I want to make sure we're clear on the record,
01:21you're saying that you can recall instances potentially where Epstein and Trump were together
01:27and you were in their presence, or just a random scenario where Epstein may be there,
01:33Trump may be there separately, and then you would be there.
01:37It would be at random.
01:39That would be accurate.
01:40If it happened, but I have no specific recollection.
01:43Okay.
01:47Did you ever see or become aware of President Trump having a sexual relationship with a person
01:55who was introduced to him by Epstein or Maxwell?
01:59No.
02:03Has Donald Trump ever discussed Jeffrey Epstein with you?
02:08No.
02:11Did Jeffrey Epstein ever discuss Donald Trump with you?
02:22I would describe it, he would name drop it.
02:26So, he would say things like,
02:28I know President Clinton, or I know the Pope, or I know God, or I know you.
02:34It was that kind of name dropping, but never...
02:38I can't remember a specific place, but Jeffrey dropped a lot of names.
02:43Okay.
02:44So, to clarify, you believe he specifically dropped Donald Trump's name?
02:50No.
02:51I'm saying it could have, and I don't remember.
02:53Okay.
02:55Um, did Epstein ever share any information with you about Donald Trump's sexual activities?
03:02No.
03:03Do you have a relationship with Donald Trump?
03:06No.
03:08But you've met him before?
03:14He would, he introduced himself to me at the fashion show a couple of times.
03:20But I wouldn't say, hello, how are you?
03:25Like, you say met, like in, we knew each other, we don't know each other.
03:29He wouldn't, I'd be shocked if he remembered me.
03:32Okay.
03:33And, um, I know that you specifically mentioned the island, that you have been to Jeffrey's
03:39island.
03:40Um, do you recall seeing any of those persons that Jeffrey Epstein name dropped while you
03:46were on his island?
03:48No.
03:48Um, nobody was there, but Abigail, myself, Jeffrey, maybe somebody cutting grass or something.
03:56There was a maintenance person, I think, I don't specifically recall.
04:01I know for sure I was there, Abigail was there, Jeffrey was there.
04:05And there wasn't anything abnormal about the appearance of, um, the home in, on the island
04:14or, and the reason that I asked, just to give you clarification on what I mean by, um, abnormal,
04:20we've heard reports of people being thrown off when they walked into his home in New York,
04:27because there was a massage table that was just sitting randomly in the middle of a room.
04:33Did you see anything like that when you visited any property that belonged to Jeffrey Epstein?
04:41Well, first to clarify, when we visited the island, there was like a Pueblo building, like,
04:49oh, maybe a, a one room and a bathroom or something.
04:52It was pretty crummy, and the island was crummy.
04:56Uh, there were, you know, trees, there was no sand, there was no beach, it was just,
05:00it was just, it was kind of a peculiar thing.
05:02It was an island, but it was like a pile of rocks.
05:04It was just, I was kind of shocked that it was, that anybody would buy it, for any purpose.
05:12Uh, as far as seeing things, you know, I never was in the house, you know, I never,
05:18at his house in New York, uh, the house in Florida, we were there after he bought it,
05:23as I mentioned, with the couples, I never saw a massage table or, or anything.
05:31Mm-hmm.
05:32Hello?
05:33Thank you so much.
05:34Um, thank you, uh, Mr. Weinstein, for, uh, your ability to answer a lot of questions.
05:39I think, when you meet the survivors, it becomes incredibly personal, especially for women
05:43on this committee, so I appreciate it.
05:46But I'd like to introduce an exhibit, I believe it's F, um, that the article is titled,
05:50Jeffrey Epstein Made Regular Payments to Ohio State Head of Gynecology Record Show,
05:56which is from a local affiliate.
05:57It's dated February 10, 2026, and we'll be able to give it to you.
06:01And it's about Dr. Rainey.
06:12I know they're passing it out, but, um, Mr. Weinstein, in the article, it explains that
06:17recent Department of Justice files indicate that, in early 2000, Epstein was making quarterly
06:23payments to Dr. Michael Landon, who is the OBGYN and the chair of the OBGYN department at
06:30Ohio State University.
06:31And you said that your wife got, received services from Dr. Landon, so you know him.
06:37Yes.
06:38Okay.
06:38Dr. Landon said the payments were consulting services he provided for New York Strategy
06:43Group, which was some kind of firm associated with Epstein.
06:47Do you know why, why was he getting paid the quarterly payment by Epstein?
06:52Not a clue.
06:54Okay.
06:54Um, do you know if there was gynecology services being offered to Epstein?
06:59For victims?
07:00For women?
07:02No idea.
07:03Because you were, you're like, you're very associated with the Ohio State University,
07:06right?
07:07Yes.
07:08You were the board chair.
07:09Okay.
07:09Were you aware that Jeffrey Epstein was paying him quarterly payments?
07:13No.
07:14You weren't?
07:14No.
07:16Okay.
07:16So the article suggests that Epstein would bill you and your wife for at least one of
07:22these payments in 2005, quote, as we have in prior years.
07:27That's evidence within the Department of Justice, Mr. Wexner.
07:31Were you aware of these $25,000 quarterly payments coming from your accounts in 2005 and earlier?
07:38Not until this moment.
07:40You know, Mr. Wexner, I'm watching this all unfold and I just want you to know it's incredibly
07:45hard for people to understand you don't know this.
07:52Maybe you don't know the specific details.
07:54Maybe you don't know the dollar amounts.
07:56But Epstein was able to be empowered and able to hurt more people with your money.
08:02You understand that?
08:04Oh, yeah.
08:04He's a crook.
08:05I know.
08:07But you don't know the purpose of the payment and the money's coming from you.
08:11It's your money.
08:12And you don't know why he's paying a doctor at Ohio State University.
08:16Sadly, I don't.
08:17Did you introduce him to Dr. Landon?
08:19No.
08:20How did he meet Dr. Landon?
08:22I wouldn't know that he met him.
08:23Because your wife received services from Dr. Michael Landon.
08:29Yes, and so did my daughter.
08:31Okay.
08:31Um, so was it a routine practice for the New York State strategy groups expenses to
08:36be paid by your accounts?
08:38I never heard of it.
08:39It's weird because it's your money going in to pay for this consulting services of
08:44another company.
08:46Do you recall any other prominent figures at the Palm Beach House?
08:50No, it was just Jeffrey and my friends.
08:54Who were the other friends?
08:56Judy and Steve Tuckerman, Dr. Steven Tuckerman and his wife Judith.
09:03I'm sure they'll be delighted about that.
09:05No, they won't be.
09:06Did you ever visit his island in the U.S. Virgin Islands?
09:11Yes.
09:12Can you tell us about those visits?
09:15Yes.
09:15Jeffrey invited us to see it.
09:22And we were on a boat and we went to the island with our kids.
09:27So Abigail, myself, and I can't remember how many kids we had, two or three or four, but at least
09:32two, walked around for a while and left.
09:37Probably an hour of visit.
09:39Okay, an hour.
09:40So on that trip, do you recall seeing any prominent figures on the island?
09:45No.
09:45It was a pretty crummy island.
09:48Okay.
09:48Did you ever visit his ranch in New Mexico or his house in Paris?
09:53I just want to break those up for clarity.
09:56Did you ever visit his ranch in New Mexico?
09:58No.
09:58It was the same kind of thing.
10:00He wanted Abigail and I to see his ranch.
10:03We flew down there and drove around for an hour or two, got back on the plane and came home.
10:09And I don't think he had a house.
10:11So you would fly just to go visit for one hour?
10:15Yeah, I would fly to Europe for one hour on business trips.
10:20As crazy as it is, getting in the plane and going places for me was like going to the mailbox.
10:31And he didn't have a house on the ranch and I never knew he had a house in Paris.
