Epstein Files Name Les Wexner As ‘Co-Conspirator'

Описание: The ties between Ohio billionaire Les Wexner and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein are well known. The latest release of the Epstein files through the Department of Justice label Wexner as a co-conspirator.

This has only increased calls for Central Ohio institutions to cut ties with perhaps their largest benefactor. That includes Ohio State University, which is home of the Wexner Medical Center, the Wexner Center For The Arts and the Les Wexner Football Complex at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

Ohio State University President Ted Carter told WOSU’s All Sides with Amy Juravich this week the university has received more than two dozen requests to remove Wexner name from university assets.

We’ll also discuss how much Ohio's government agencies should cooperate with ICE immigration agents, the campaign to abolish property taxes in Ohio and feelings that the legal marijuana industry needs additional regulation.
