Leslie Wexner is one of the 10 co-conspirators named by the FBI during the 2019 arrest of Epstein.
He gave Epstein millions of dollars and the $70 million NYC townhouse.
Leon Black gave Epstein over $170 million.
Both men are alive.
How come they've never been asked to testify?

Trump, who says he had "no idea" at the time that Epstein sexually molested girls, told the police in 2006 that "everyone has known he’s been doing this.” That's according to an FBI interview with the then-Palm Beach police chief.
Here's a gift link to Julie K. Brown's article in the Miami Herald.

She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.
