Hot mic catches lawyer's wild deposition threat to Epstein pal: 'I'll kill you'
Things got heated during the deposition of an associate of the disgraced financier and convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, according to a newly released video.
Leslie Wexner, the former CEO of Victoria's Secret, was deposed by the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday for almost five hours over his ties to the late Epstein. The committee released video of the deposition on Thursday, which included an instance where Wexner's lawyer made a wild threat toward his client.
Wexner claimed his relationship with Epstein was professional and that Epstein often gave him tax and real estate advice. Wexner was asked about how often Epstein worked for him each month, and gave a long-winded answer about some of his affairs, like inventorying items in his home.
After that answer, Wexner's lawyer leaned over and whispered an eye-popping threat.
"I'll f------ kill you if you answer another question with more than five words," his lawyer said on a hot mic.
Wexner was forced to resign as CEO of Victoria's Secret in 2021 after his ties to Epstein were revealed. He paid Epstein more than $190 million over the course of their relationship for tax and real estate advice, according to reports.

When that happens, speculative corners, memecoins in particular, are most vulnerable.”Read more
