Episode Description

Ohio State University is fielding hundreds of calls to remove Les Wexner’s name from campus buildings, amid growing anger over his ties to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

A new term, WEXIT, has been coined by groups pushing for removal. Meanwhile, Gov. Mike DeWine defends keeping Wexner’s name.

Meanwhile, Democratic members of Congress who traveled to New Albany last week to depose Wexner said they found Wexner’s denial of knowing about Epstein’s criminal conduct hard to believe.

In other news, a judge has removed the chairman of the state’s second-largest pension for violating his fiduciary duties.

We'll talk about what we’re learning from the First Energy trial.

It's all coming up during this week's Reporter Roundtable.
