The New York Times published an exposé into Jeffrey Epstein's and Leslie Wexner's "friendship" in 2019. Hulu released a three-part documentary on it in 2022. Since then, Wexner has remained a prolific donor to Ohio Republicans and Columbus Democrats.

A prominent backer of the Columbus Democratic machine has showered the notorious conman Vivek Ramaswamy with cash. There should be consequences. Will there be? I'm doubtful.
