US Senator Jon Husted (R) from Ohio took donations from Epstein 'co-conspirator' Les Wexner for years. Instead of doing the right thing, Husted voted to block the file release.
He is up for re-election in 2026. Four Dems including Sherrod Brown are vying to face him.

WOW. Incredible. This is the case in which DHS claimed that ICE officers had been attacked with a shovel and fired back in self-defense. Evidence since suggests an ICE officer fired through a closed door and struck someone on the other side.
Will DHS retract the prior claims?

As long as Ohio Sen. John Husted has been in office, he's accepted over $116,000 from Les Wexner, former Victoria’s Secret CEO and alleged Epstein co-conspirator.
Husted accepted $3,500 from Wexner as recently as July—only two months before voting to block the Epstein files release. trib.al/6iNBfAh
