NewzPolitical contributions by billionaire retail tycoon Les Wexner have brought the Epstein files into focus as a central issue in Ohio's U.S. Senate race. Wexner, who has a history of directing generous donations to candidates from both political parties in his home state of Ohio, has previously disavowed his links to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The controversy has been seized upon by Democratic candidate Sherrod Brown, who has targeted Republican Senator Jon Husted over his support from Wexner and the billionaire's historical associations with Epstein. Despite Wexner's disavowal of the late sex offender, his past financial ties and current political donations continue to be leveraged by political opponents in the high-stakes Senate contest.
