A new financial disclosure report filed this week revealed that President Donald Trump purchased between $250,000 and $500,000 in bonds in the lingerie retailer Victoria’s Secret, a purchase that stunned onlookers and sparked online speculation.
“Is he planning a July 4 lingerie show on his new White House paved patio to celebrate American independence?” quipped Los Angeles Times columnist Patt Morrison in a social media post on X Friday night.
The financial disclosure report revealed that Trump made the purchase in mid-December. However, it was Trump’s longstanding history with the company that raised a few eyebrows among critics.
Trump had attended Victoria’s Secret events on multiple occasions, and while it was under the ownership of Leslie Wexner, who was among the 10 individuals named in a 2019 FBI email as a potential “co-conspirator” of Jeffrey Epstein.
For instance, Trump was photographed in 1997 alongside Epstein at a Victoria’s Secret Angels party in New York City, New York. In 1999, Trump was filmed alongside Epstein at a Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in New York.
Beyond his appearances at Victoria’s Secret events, however, Trump has never had a professional relationship with the company or Wexner, who last week was issued a subpoena to testify on his relationship with Epstein before the House Oversight Committee.
While some critics described Trump’s purchase of Victoria’s Secret bonds as a “bribe,” Wexner is no longer affiliated with the company, leading some to question Trump’s motives behind the purchase.
“Didn’t anyone tell him Wexner no longer owns it?” asked X user “Dan Husko,” a frequent critic of Trump and his agenda, in a social media post on X Friday.
