Senator Jon Husted (R-OH) took over $100,000 from Epstein co-conspirator Les Wexner accepting "donations" months before voting to block the Epstein Files. Husted was the only holdout in the vote to "Release the Epstein Files."

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.
