WASHINGTON, DC: Jeffrey Epstein’s case continues to resurface from time to time. Newly revealed information shows that federal agents tried to contact not one, but 10 of his alleged 'co‑conspirators'. This happened just one day after his arrest on trafficking charges in 2019.

These details come from a recent release of case files by the Department of Justice (DOJ). A redacted email dated July 7, 2019, shows that officials were trying to contact several people in NY City and Boston.

Only three names are clearly visible in the email. They are Ghislaine Maxwell, Jean‑Luc Brunel, and Leslie Wexner ( Les Wexner).

Leslie Wexner named as Epstein's co‑conspirator in newly released documents

Leslie Wexner (Les Wexner), widely recognized for creating the Victoria’s Secret brand, and Jean‑Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent with long-standing connections to Epstein, were mentioned.

Wexner is not just linked to Victoria’s Secret. He also has connections to The Limited and Abercrombie & Fitch. According to The New York Times, Wexner’s finances were managed by Epstein until he cut ties with the financier in 2007. 



The publication reports that Wexner’s lawyer stated that Wexner is not considered a 'co-conspirator' and is not under the DOJ's radar for investigation. His lawyer also added that Wexner “only gave federal prosecutors background information on Epstein and was never contacted again.”

In response to an inquiry by The Post, Victoria’s Secret confirmed that Wexner “has no current business connections” to the brand.



Chuck Schumer and Thomas Massie demand transparency in Epstein investigation

DOJ recently released a wide range of documents, files, and photos related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. Names of high-profile figures, including President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and pop star Michael Jackson, have surfaced in the records.

Several of Epstein’s alleged victims have also come forward and urged the authority to release the redacted names. Based on the Epstein case, Pam Bondi shared an email assuring that “justice will be served” and encouraged Epstein-related victims to come forward with any information they might have. Yet, these assurances have not fully satisfied critics.



Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer has publicly criticized the DOJ for delaying the release of documents, calling for more transparency regarding Epstein’s 'co-conspirators'.

“Buried in the Epstein files is an email disclosing the Department of Justice was looking into at least 10 possible Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirators. The Department of Justice needs to shed more light on who was on the list, how they were involved, and why they chose not to prosecute,” Schumer said in a statement.



Thomas Massie of Kentucky echoed Schumer’s statement. “Right now the DOJ is violating the law to protect those individuals,” Massie told The Post regarding the redacted names. “We will first pursue all options to force the DOJ to release those names, and several options remain,” he said.
