Interviewer 0:00 ↗
Thank you. I'd like to ask you about Epstein's properties and your visits to them. Of course, Epstein's New York and New Albany houses were originally yours. We discussed earlier, and you also had a house in Palm Beach. Is that correct?
Attorney 0:14 ↗
Objection. I think he testified that the house in New Albany was Mr. Kesler's.
Interviewer 0:20 ↗
Okay. Sorry, I'm just trying to clarify.
No, thank you. And the house in Palm Beach, was there a house that you had in Palm Beach? Sorry.
Les Wexner 0:31 ↗
I did have a house in Palm Beach.
Interviewer 0:33 ↗
Okay. Did you ever visit Epstein's house in Palm Beach?
Les Wexner 0:45 ↗
He bought a house in Palm Beach and he wanted me to see it. I think he wanted me and Abigail to see it. And we flew down on like a Sunday morning with friends of ours from Columbus. Walked, looked at the house, you know, congratulations. Got back on the plane and came home. So, and it was a pretty modest house.
Interviewer 1:12 ↗
Did you ever... So, one trip in that trip, did you ever witness Donald Trump at the house?
Les Wexner 1:18 ↗
No.
Interviewer 1:19 ↗
Do you recall any other prominent figures at the Palm Beach house?
Les Wexner 1:23 ↗
No, just Jeffrey and my friends.
Interviewer 1:28 ↗
Who were the other friends?
Les Wexner 1:29 ↗
Juvie and Steve Tuckerman. Dr. Steven Tuckerman and his wife Judith.
Interviewer 1:36 ↗
I'm sure they'll be delighted about that. No, they won't be. Did you ever visit his island in the US Virgin Islands?
Les Wexner 1:44 ↗
Yes.
Interviewer 1:46 ↗
Can you tell us about those visits?
Les Wexner 1:48 ↗
Yes, Jeffrey invited us to see it and we were on a boat and we went to the island with our kids. So Abigail, myself, I can't remember how many kids we had, two or three or four, but at least two, walked around for a while and left. Probably an hour visit.
Interviewer 2:12 ↗
Okay. An hour. So on that trip, do you recall seeing any prominent figures on the island?
Les Wexner 2:18 ↗
No. And it was a pretty crummy island.
Interviewer 2:21 ↗
Okay. Did you ever visit his ranch in New Mexico or his house in Paris?
Attorney 2:27 ↗
Do you want to break those up for clarity?
Interviewer 2:29 ↗
Did you ever visit his ranch in New Mexico?
Les Wexner 2:32 ↗
It was the same thing. He wanted Abigail and I to see his ranch. We flew down there and drove around for an hour or two, got back on the plane and came home. And I don't think he had a house.
Interviewer 2:44 ↗
So you would fly just to go visit for one hour?
Les Wexner 2:48 ↗
Yeah, I would fly to Europe for one hour on business trips. As crazy as it is, getting on the plane and going places for me was like going to the mailbox. And he didn't have a house on the ranch, and I never knew he had a house in Paris.
Interviewer 3:10 ↗
And in the ranch in New Mexico that you spent an hour at, were there any prominent figures or anyone that you recall else being there?
Les Wexner 3:17 ↗
No, as I recall, it was just Abigail, myself, and I think he'd rented a trailer, so it wasn't a house. And that's all I know.
Interviewer 3:28 ↗
Okay. And so to clarify, you didn't know he had a house in Paris. So you did not ever go to the house in Paris?
Les Wexner 3:33 ↗
I didn't know he had a house in Paris and therefore I didn't go to the house in Paris.
Interviewer 3:39 ↗
Okay. During any of your visits to any of these properties, did you ever see any girls or women that looked unusually young?
Les Wexner 3:50 ↗
No.
Interviewer 3:52 ↗
Did you ever hear rumors of any girls or women who looked unusually young visiting Epstein?
Les Wexner 3:59 ↗
Yeah. Never did.
Interviewer 4:01 ↗
During any visits to Epstein's property, did you ever see photographs or other images of women or minors?
Les Wexner 4:07 ↗
Not that I recall.
Interviewer 4:10 ↗
Did you ever become aware of Epstein transporting women or minors using assets that you owned, whether that's a plane that you owned or a yacht that you owned?
