Epstein Ties Fuel Ohio Senate Race Attacks

Epstein-related ties and donations are fueling political scrutiny: in Ohio’s Senate race, Sherrod Brown is attacking Jon Husted over roughly $116,000 in support from Les Wexner, while Husted disputes Brown’s characterization of an earlier vote on releasing the files and points to Brown’s own donors. Separately, Arizona Rep. Eli Crane received donations from celebrity hairstylist Frederic Fekkai, who is accused in a lawsuit of abusing Epstein’s victims; Crane’s office says he never met Fekkai or knew of his Epstein connection.
