The internal investigation by Victoria's Secret's parent company, L Brands, was launched after the resurfacing of longstanding ties between billionaire founder Les Wexner and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In July 2019 the board retained outside counsel to determine what role, if any, Epstein had within the company—despite L Brands stating that Epstein was “never employed by nor served as an authorized representative of the company.”The inquiry aimed to clarify whether Epstein's influence extended beyond his position as Wexner's personal money manager, including allegations that he posed as a talent scout for Victoria's Secret and might have leveraged access to young models. Former employees and journalists raised concerns that Epstein misrepresented his role, and that red flags from the 1990s went unaddressed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Today's Headlines: Sudan's civil war took a dark turn after the paramilitary RSF captured El Fasher, giving them full control of Darfur's major cities. The group is accused of killing hundreds and filming their own war crimes as hundreds of thousands flee. Meanwhile, Trump's threatening to send the U.S. military “guns-a-blazing” into Nigeria to “protect cherished Christians” from Boko Haram, declaring the country a “state of particular concern.” Nigerian officials politely said thanks but no thanks—they're still, you know, a sovereign nation. In Venezuela, the U.S. carried out yet another boat strike (the 15th since September), as reports suggest Trump's team is prepping direct hits on Venezuelan military targets linked to drug trafficking. In local matters, Trump's demanding Senate Republicans ditch the filibuster to end the government shutdown while partying at Mar-a-Lago as SNAP benefits expire. A judge ordered the USDA to pay SNAP recipients “as soon as possible,” but leaked emails show the agency told grocery stores not to offer discounts to hungry families. Very on-brand. In other news, the White House fired the entire Commission of Fine Arts to make way for friendlier faces on upcoming construction projects, the FBI may have overhyped a supposed Michigan “terror plot” that might've just been teenage gamers, and newly released records show JP Morgan flagged over $1 billion in suspicious Epstein-related transactions—names like Dershowitz, Wexner, and Leon Black—while both the bank and Trump's first administration looked the other way.

If the congressional oversight committee into Jeffrey Epstein is serious about finding the truth, then Les Wexner needs to be subpoenaed and put under oath—no excuses, no polite letters, no “he's cooperating privately” nonsense. Wexner wasn't some bystander who accidentally bumped into Epstein at a fundraiser—he bankrolled him, empowered him, and gave him access to obscene wealth and influence. For years, Epstein wasn't just Wexner's “financial adviser”—he had full power of attorney over the billionaire's empire, access to his private jets, mansions, and inner circle. Epstein even lived in one of Wexner's homes for free, the same mansion in New York where some victims later said they were assaulted. If this committee can call low-level bureaucrats and media figures, but can't drag in the man who gave Epstein the keys to his financial kingdom, then it's not a real investigation—it's a stage play.Wexner's fingerprints are all over Epstein's rise, and yet he's managed to slither through every official inquiry untouched. He has never been forced to answer, under oath, how much he knew about Epstein's activities, how much money flowed between them, and why Epstein continued to represent himself as part of the “Wexner Foundation” years after their supposed split. Multiple victims have alleged sexual encounters or trafficking ties linked to Wexner's properties. And still, the so-called oversight committee tiptoes around him like he's untouchable. If Congress is truly about justice, it's time to stop pretending the architect of Epstein's legitimacy was just another “duped billionaire.” Drag him in, swear him in, and make him answer. Anything less is another cover-up.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Les Wexner earned the nickname “King of Columbus” because of the immense economic, cultural, and political footprint he left on the city of Columbus, Ohio. As the founder of The Limited in 1963, which later became L Brands, Wexner transformed a single women's clothing store into a retail juggernaut that included brands like Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works, and Express. His success generated enormous wealth, much of which he funneled back into his hometown through philanthropy, real estate development, and civic influence. Wexner's donations helped shape major institutions, including Ohio State University and the Columbus Foundation, while entire areas of Columbus' expansion were tied to his investments and leadership. This combination of business dominance and local control made him, for decades, the city's unofficial monarch — the “King of Columbus.”In recent years, however, Les Wexner has steadily reduced his financial footprint in L Brands, the company that built his empire. By mid-2021, he had sold off a massive portion of his holdings — unloading approximately $2.7 billion worth of stock — leaving him with only about a 2 percent stake in the company he once commanded. The sales came amid L Brands' restructuring and the eventual separation of Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works into standalone companies. With those divestments, Wexner's era as a retail titan effectively closed, signaling a retreat from the empire he had ruled for nearly six decades.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
Les Wexner, billionaire founder of L Brands and longtime Epstein associate, has poured significant money into Republican politics over the years. He was a high-profile donor in the 2012 presidential race, hosting fundraisers for Mitt Romney and giving $250,000 to the pro-Romney “Restore Our Future” super PAC. In 2015, he chipped in another $500,000 to Jeb Bush's “Right to Rise” PAC, solidifying his reputation as one of Ohio's most influential GOP financiers. For decades, Wexner's name appeared in donor rolls tied to party machinery, think tanks, and candidates who benefited from his wealth.Then came the dramatic “I quit the GOP” moment in 2018, when Wexner loudly declared he was leaving the Republican Party, citing differences with its modern direction. But, irony alert—despite the public distancing act, he was back in the donor headlines in 2022, cutting a $250,000 check to the Republican Governors Association. So much for walking away. It seems that, like many billionaires, Wexner can't quite resist keeping his influence alive where it counts—inside the political cash pipeline.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with Les Wexner, the longtime CEO of L Brands and the architect of Victoria's Secret's rise, was a slow-acting poison that ultimately helped unravel both the man and the brand. Epstein gained extraordinary control over Wexner's finances in the 1990s, wielding power that allowed him to cultivate influence far beyond what his background should have permitted. By embedding himself so deeply in Wexner's inner circle and finances, Epstein's presence tainted Wexner's empire. When Epstein's predatory behavior and sex trafficking network came to light, questions inevitably turned to how he had managed to accumulate such wealth and power. Wexner's long-standing ties to him made it impossible to avoid scrutiny, and the public began to see Victoria's Secret not only as a lingerie company but as part of a much darker web of manipulation and exploitation.The damage didn't stop at Wexner's personal reputation. Victoria's Secret, once a symbol of glamour and unattainable beauty standards, began to collapse under mounting scandals and changing cultural tides. Epstein's alleged use of Victoria's Secret branding to lure and groom young women into his orbit cast an especially damning shadow over the company. As survivors and investigators pointed out these links, the brand's image of empowerment and fantasy shattered, accelerating its decline in an already shifting retail landscape. Wexner ultimately stepped down from L Brands, leaving behind a legacy forever stained by his association with Epstein. The downfall of both the mogul and his lingerie empire was not simply about changing tastes—it was about exposure, complicity, and the corrosive impact of having Epstein at the center of power.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Jeffrey Epstein, Glenn Dubin, and Les Wexner's collective ties to Harvard University expose a deeply unsettling nexus of wealth, influence, and compromised morality within one of the world's most prestigious academic institutions. Epstein, despite his 2008 conviction, donated millions to Harvard, including $6.5 million to the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, securing not only access to the university's intellectual elite but also legitimacy that helped launder his reputation. Glenn Dubin, a hedge fund billionaire and close Epstein associate, reinforced these connections through philanthropy and elite social networks, while his wife, Eva Andersson-Dubin, had an even more personal history with Epstein, further entwining Harvard's image with the scandal. Les Wexner, Epstein's most significant benefactor and a longtime Harvard donor himself, indirectly strengthened Epstein's foothold within the institution, with his fortune and backing lending weight to Epstein's cultivated status as a man of ideas and influence. Together, these men leveraged Harvard's prestige as both a shield and a stage, providing Epstein with credibility in academic and scientific circles that should have been out of reach for a registered sex offender.Harvard's willingness to accept and defend these relationships, even after Epstein's criminal record was public, reflects not only institutional greed but also a failure of ethical leadership. While Harvard has since tried to distance itself, the revelations that Epstein maintained an office on campus, retained connections with professors, and used his donations to secure influence long after his conviction speak to a systemic rot. Wexner's fortune, Dubin's networks, and Epstein's money intersected at Harvard in ways that revealed how elite institutions often prioritize financial gain over moral responsibility. Rather than protecting its integrity or safeguarding its reputation, Harvard enabled Epstein's rehabilitation, offering him cover while he cultivated ties with powerful men like Dubin and Wexner. In doing so, the university not only failed its own values but also became an unwitting accomplice in sustaining the ecosystem that allowed Epstein to thrive.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Les Wexner, the billionaire founder of L Brands and Victoria's Secret, has alleged that Jeffrey Epstein stole millions of dollars from him while serving as his personal money manager. Wexner gave Epstein sweeping power of attorney in the early 1990s, allowing him control over financial and real estate transactions. When Wexner severed ties with him in 2007, he said he discovered that Epstein had misappropriated a significant amount of money, with at least $46 million identified as funds taken without authorization. Wexner claimed that some of this money was supposed to support his charitable foundation but was instead diverted by Epstein.Despite the large sum, Wexner has never disclosed the full extent of what was allegedly stolen, nor has he clarified why Epstein was granted such unchecked financial authority. Reports suggest that Epstein's control over Wexner's finances allowed him to access charitable funds and move money with little oversight. Wexner has publicly insisted that he was one of Epstein's victims, but critics have pointed out that he has never fully explained how such theft went unnoticed for years or whether authorities were ever asked to investigate the alleged financial misconduct.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://abcnews.go.com/US/billionaire-businessman-leslie-wexner-refuses-reveal-full-scope/story?id=68461262Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Dershowitz issued subpoenas in April 2020 demanding that Wexner and his attorney John Zeiger produce documents and give deposition testimony concerning Giuffre's allegations, including those related to Jeffrey EpsteinWexner's legal side objected to the subpoenas, arguing that many of the requested records are protected by attorney-client privilege or otherwise confidential.

The allegations that Jeffrey Epstein “stole” vast sums of money from Les Wexner—often claimed to be in the hundreds of millions—rest on shaky ground at best. The core of the story is that Wexner, the billionaire founder of L Brands, granted Epstein sweeping power of attorney in the late 1980s and early 1990s, allowing him to control bank accounts, sign checks, and move assets. Later, when Epstein's crimes came under scrutiny, reports circulated that he had misappropriated funds, especially tied to properties like the Manhattan townhouse that Wexner originally purchased but never lived in. Yet the narrative of Epstein as a con man who somehow duped one of the most seasoned and ruthless retail moguls into parting with a fortune seems questionable. Wexner is no naïve novice; he built a multibillion-dollar empire, commanded armies of lawyers and accountants, and had access to every safeguard a billionaire could deploy. To suggest he simply “didn't notice” Epstein siphoning off hundreds of millions strains credulity.It's far more likely that the theft story serves as a retroactive smokescreen, a convenient way for Wexner to distance himself from a relationship that became toxic once Epstein's name was synonymous with sex trafficking. Claiming to be a victim of fraud casts Wexner as a dupe rather than an enabler, while muddying the public record about how deep their financial ties really ran. If Epstein truly “stole” such staggering amounts, why weren't there lawsuits, asset recovery actions, or criminal referrals at the time? The silence speaks volumes. A billionaire losing hundreds of millions without raising alarms is an improbable scenario. What seems more plausible is that Epstein was entrusted with money and power because he served a purpose—whether as a fixer, a gatekeeper, or a handler—and that only after Epstein became radioactive did the theft narrative emerge as a convenient form of damage control.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9668449/How-Jeffrey-Epstein-squeezed-financial-advisor-Les-Wexner.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
Les Wexner is a billionaire businessman known for founding L Brands, the parent company of Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works.

Episode No. 723 features curator Michelle White and artist Nanette Carter. White is the curator of "Robert Rauschenberg: Fabric Works of the 1970s" at The Menil Collection, Houston. The exhibition considers Rauschenberg's conceptual, expressive use of fabric as a medium through a focus on three groups of works from the 1970s: Venetians (1972-73), Jammers (1975-76), and Hoarfrosts (1974-76). It is on view through March 1, 2026. "Fabric" is accompanied by an excellent catalogue published by the Menil. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for $60-65. The Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University is presenting "Nanette Carter: Afro Sentinels" through January 11, 2026. The exhibition features works Carter has made over the last decade, including work from her Cantilevered, Destabilizing, and Shifting Perspectives series, plus new sculptural works commissioned by the Wexner. It was curated by Rebecca Lowery. Carter's abstract collages, produced in Mylar, often engage with contemporary social issues. The Montclair Art Museum presented a retrospective of Carter's career last year. As discussed on the program: Carter's 2021 oral history for the Archives of American Art.

Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with Les Wexner was not just financial—it was the foundation of Epstein's rise from a mysterious money manager to a figure embedded in the world of extreme wealth and power. Wexner, the billionaire founder of L Brands and longtime CEO of Victoria's Secret, granted Epstein unprecedented access to his fortune, his homes, and his reputation. Epstein was given power of attorney over Wexner's finances, a level of trust so unusual it raised questions about the true nature of their bond. This arrangement allowed Epstein to control massive sums of Wexner's wealth, acquire luxury properties, and build the image of legitimacy he later used to lure victims and cultivate influence..Yet Wexner has long insisted that he, too, was deceived by Epstein, claiming that Epstein stole money and betrayed his trust. That narrative, however, collapses under scrutiny. Maria Farmer's testimony places abuse at Wexner's heavily guarded Ohio estate, and Epstein's use of Wexner's assets—such as the Manhattan townhouse he effectively gifted him—suggests far more than a duped investor. The fact that Wexner enabled Epstein's ascent, while escaping the same level of media and legal accountability as other Epstein associates, underscores how wealth and influence insulated him. Their relationship was not incidental; it was the keystone that transformed Epstein from a grifter into a predator with access to the corridors of power.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Five former Ohio State wrestlers—who say they were victims of the late Dr. Richard Strauss—authored a letter in early February 2020, urging Ohio's Inspector General to investigate Les and Abigail Wexner. In their five-page appeal, they request two investigations: first, into Abigail Wexner's alleged role in Jeffrey Epstein's assault of Maria Farmer at the Wexners' New Albany estate; and second, into any relationship between Epstein, the Wexner family, and Ohio State University. The wrestlers specifically cite Abigail's position as vice chair of OSU's Board of Trustees and question why the university continues its ties with the Wexners amid such serious allegationsThe letter further emphasizes parallels between how Ohio State ignored complaints against Strauss and its handling of Epstein-related allegations. The wrestlers assert that the university has repeatedly turned a blind eye to sexual abuse and “offers only the pretense of caring,” especially given Epstein's significant contributions—including to the Wexner Football Facility—and his donor relationship with OSU. They argue that to properly address the abuse legacy and protect current and future students, the university must sever any inappropriate ties with "pedophiles and sex traffickers and those who enabled them, including both Abigail and Leslie Wexner."to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/former-ohio-state-wrestlers-call-investigation-university-s-ties-jeffrey-n1134071Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein's ties to billionaire retail magnate Les Wexner remain some of the most enigmatic and disturbing in the entire saga. Wexner, founder of L Brands and the empire behind Victoria's Secret, gave Epstein power of attorney over his finances in the 1990s—an almost unprecedented level of control. This arrangement effectively gave Epstein sweeping access to Wexner's fortune, properties, and business dealings, despite Epstein having no formal background in finance. Epstein used this trust to enrich himself, acquiring Wexner's Manhattan townhouse—the largest private residence in the city—under circumstances that remain suspicious. Many have questioned why Wexner, a seasoned and shrewd businessman, would hand over his empire's keys to a man with a checkered past and no credentials to warrant such trust.The depth of this relationship is further underscored by the fact that Epstein's social ascent was largely built on Wexner's backing. The fortune, credibility, and connections Epstein enjoyed were in large part derived from his inexplicable hold over Wexner. Even after the ties supposedly dissolved, Wexner continued to face scrutiny over how Epstein was able to leverage their bond into years of unchecked financial and social influence. While Wexner has claimed ignorance of Epstein's crimes and insists he severed ties long before the scandal exploded, the unanswered question remains: why did one of the most powerful retailers in America entrust a mysterious outsider with unfettered access to his fortune? That silence has only fueled speculation that the ties between Epstein and Wexner run far deeper than either man was ever willing to publicly admit.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/06/inside-jeffrey-epsteins-decades-long-relationship-with-his-biggest-client
In the 2022 Hulu documentary Victoria's Secret: Angels and Demons, director Matt Tyrnauer explores the deeply entwined relationship between billionaire Les Wexner and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein served as Wexner's financial manager and was granted sweeping power of attorney in 1991—giving him extensive control over Wexner's assets. The series portrays how Epstein leveraged that influence to ingratiate himself into the fashion world and presumed modeling circles, sometimes falsely representing himself as a Victoria's Secret recruiter. Wexner declined direct interviews; instead, he issued written denials, including claims that he was never aware of Epstein's abuse, even though there were multiple early warning signs ignored by him and the companyThe docuseries also makes a compelling case that Epstein's association significantly tarnished the Victoria's Secret brand. It draws direct lines from allegations—such as those from model Alicia Arden and artist Maria Farmer—that Epstein used the guise of modeling to exploit women, to the brand's eventual cultural decline amid #MeToo backlash and reputational damage. Although Wexner publicly framed the relationship as a misplaced trust that ended years before Epstein's arrest, the documentary underscores how Epstein's control and access may have facilitated his crimes—and how Wexner's delayed distancing, combined with a failure to act on internal warnings, contributed to institutional complicity.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/mysterious-billionaire-behind-jeffrey-epstein-095140216.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
In the 1990s, Jeffrey Epstein reportedly lobbied then-President Bill Clinton on behalf of his primary client—and VIP financier—Les Wexner, who owned The Limited and Victoria's Secret. Epstein aimed to influence U.S. trade laws, specifically targeting regulations that could have benefited Wexner's clothing business, potentially saving The Limited up to $1.2 billion. While no evidence suggests that these lobbying efforts led to actual legislative changes, they served as Epstein's early entry point into high‑level political influence and connections.Despite Epstein's access—including multiple White House visits and social engagement within Clinton's inner circle—there is no indication that the trade lobbying resulted in any tangible outcome.

In February 2022, Politico reported that billionaire retail magnate Leslie Wexner—the former CEO of L Brands and longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein—donated $250,000 to the Republican Governors Association (RGA). This marked Wexner's first major political donation since 2018, when he had also contributed a similar amount to the same group. The donation drew renewed scrutiny not just because of Wexner's past ties to Epstein, who once held power of attorney over Wexner's finances, but because Wexner had publicly distanced himself from the Republican Party following the rise of Donald Trump. Despite previously renouncing his GOP affiliation, Wexner's large donation in 2022 suggested a quiet but deliberate reentry into political influence.What made the donation even more notable was its timing and lack of public announcement. Wexner's name had faded from political finance circles after years of scandal and fallout surrounding Epstein, yet the $250,000 gift signaled a resumption of political activity. The money went to the RGA, a powerful fundraising organization that supports Republican gubernatorial candidates across the country, including then-Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. Critics immediately questioned why a figure once so publicly disillusioned with the Republican Party—and so closely tied to one of the most notorious sex traffickers in American history—was now bankrolling GOP campaigns again without explanation.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsourcehttps://www.politico.com/news/2022/02/07/longtime-epstein-associate-gave-250k-to-rga-00006097
Les Wexner, the billionaire founder of L Brands and longtime CEO of Victoria's Secret, was not just an associate of Jeffrey Epstein—he was Epstein's most powerful and influential patron. Wexner granted Epstein an extraordinary level of access to his financial empire, entrusting him with power of attorney and essentially giving him control over vast portions of his wealth and decision-making authority. Epstein used that access to insert himself into elite financial and social circles, all while operating what would become one of the most notorious sex trafficking networks in modern American history. Wexner even transferred ownership of a Manhattan mansion—later used by Epstein to abuse young women and girls—to Epstein under murky circumstances, which further fueled questions about their relationship.Critics have long argued that without Wexner's sponsorship, Epstein's rise would have been impossible. Despite claiming he severed ties with Epstein in the mid-2000s, Wexner has never fully explained why he gave so much power to a man with no legitimate financial credentials. He has painted himself as a victim of betrayal, alleging that Epstein misappropriated millions of dollars, but many see that explanation as insufficient and evasive. Survivors and investigators alike have questioned how Wexner could have been so intimately tied to Epstein without noticing or suspecting his predatory behavior—especially given the proximity of Epstein's crimes to properties and enterprises connected to Wexner's name. The silence and lack of accountability from Wexner remains one of the most glaring and unresolved aspects of the Epstein scandal.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.businessinsider.com/ghislaine-maxwell-deposition-hints-at-jeffrey-epstein-les-wexner-link-2020-10
Send us a textI dive into this nearly two-hour deep dive starting with Ghislaine Maxwell's legal chaos where she's been subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee, wants clemency, has petitioned the Supreme Court for an appeal, and her legal team has approached Trump asking for a pardon, plus she's been secretly moved to a low-security federal prison in Fort Worth, Texas where Elizabeth Holmes and Real Housewives Jen Shaw are serving their sentences, which definitely looks like some sort of deal is in the works, but here's where it gets really interesting - I expose this woman named Anya Wick who claims to be Jeffrey Epstein's niece AND Shia LaBeouf's twin sister AND Walt Disney's great-granddaughter, which is obviously complete bullshit, but people need to know about these frauds, then the bombshell comes when I unpack why attorney Bobbi Sternheim representing both Ghislaine Maxwell AND Nicholas Tartaglione (Epstein's former cellmate who's now convicted of quadruple murder) isn't actually that weird legally, but what IS weird is that she holds top secret SCI clearance and specializes in terrorism and national security cases - so why is she working on sex trafficking and murder cases, and even weirder, she got appointed to Tartaglione's case just ten days after Epstein died, then I play Trump's recent comments about why he threw Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago for stealing his spa workers, including what sounds like Virginia Roberts Giuffre, and you can hear him practically confirming everything we suspected, but the real meat comes when I break down the Bill Gates connection through Boris Nikolic, who was mysteriously named as backup executor in Epstein's will just two days before Epstein died, even though Nikolic says he hadn't spoken to Epstein in years, and I explain how this was clearly Epstein's "FU" to Gates, exposing their deeper ties than anyone knew, and how Nikolic was the middleman coordinating between Gates and Epstein for years, plus I dive into that Russian bridge player Mila Antonova that Epstein allegedly used to blackmail Gates over an affair, and how Gates met with Epstein way more than he's ever admitted, then comes the final hour with more of Maria Farmer's lost interview, where she details being kidnapped at Les Wexner's Ohio compound, how all of Epstein's surveillance footage went directly to Wexner's house, her escape with her little brothers, and the aftermath with Vicki Ward destroying the 2003 Vanity Fair story that could have saved all those girls in Florida, and Maria drops bombs about Morgan Fairchild being at Epstein's office "like a little blow-up doll," what she thinks Epstein and Ghislaine relationship was. This is the interview that's been hidden for years, and now you get to hear why certain people never wanted it to come out.
