Former Florida state attorney Dave Aronberg discussed how the Republican Party's attempt to downplay Leslie Wexner's deposition backfired during an appearance on the "All Rise News" podcast. The House Oversight Committee held a nearly five-hour deposition of Wexner, former CEO of Victoria's Secret, with no Republicans in attendance. Wexner denied involvement in Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, claiming he was "conned" out of nearly $200 million paid to Epstein for real estate and tax services. His name appears on a Department of Justice document listing him as a potential co-conspirator. Aronberg characterized the GOP's silence as a "self-inflicted wound," noting that concealment efforts only increase public interest. He also highlighted how Wexner's testimony contradicts Trump's claim that nobody knew about Epstein's activities, citing Trump's own 1999 New York magazine interview acknowledging Epstein's known behavior.
