A Republican Senator from Ohio voted to block the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files after receiving a campaign donation from one of the convicted sex criminal's co-conspirators, according to a report.

Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) received a $3,500 donation from Leslie Wexner, the former founder of Victoria's Secret, just three months before he voted to block a Senate resolution that would have forced President Donald Trump's administration to release the files earlier than they did, TiffinOhio reported on Thursday.

Overall, Husted has taken more than $116,000 in campaign donations from Wexner at 21 different points between 2001 and 2025, according to the report, making the disgraced CEO one of Husted's longest-tenured financial supporters.

I mean seriously...

I'd say Husted is a party whore, but that would be a vicious insult to whores.
