Washington -- Billionaire retail tycoon Les Wexner, a longtime benefactor of Jeffrey Epstein, told House lawmakers that he was "duped by a world-class con man" and knew nothing of Epstein's crimes, according to his prepared testimony before the House Oversight Committee.

WASHINGTON -- Former Victoria's Secret owner Les Wexner testified Wednesday before a House panel that he was supremely "conned" by the now-deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein, who managed the billionaire's fortune for decades, but did not "witness, condone or enable" any of his sex crimes.
