Ex-Victoria’s Secret CEO’s lawyer caught on hot mic jokingly threatening to ‘kill’ him at Epstein deposition
During a deposition on Jeffrey Epstein, the lawyer of former Victoria's Secret CEO Les Wexner was overheard jokingly threatening to kill him if he continued with long-winded answers.
In a recent deposition regarding Jeffrey Epstein's network, Les Wexner, former CEO of Victoria's Secret, was the subject of a humorous exchange captured on a hot mic. Wexner's lawyer, in a lighthearted manner, jokingly threatened to 'kill' him if he persisted in providing lengthy responses during his questioning by the House Oversight Committee. The incident highlighted a moment of levity amid the serious nature of the ongoing investigations into Epstein's connections and influence.
The deposition lasted nearly five hours and was part of a broader inquiry into Epstein's extensive network of powerful individuals and organizations. Wexner, who is now 88 years old and reflects on his long-standing association with Epstein, was providing testimony when his attorney's comment momentarily shifted the tone of an otherwise serious proceeding. This exchange not only drew laughter from those present but underscored the sometimes surreal interactions that can occur even in grave judicial contexts.
The House Oversight Committee continues to look into the implications of Epstein's actions and the relationships he fostered. Wexner's past association with Epstein has drawn significant media attention, and the humorous exchange during the deposition serves as a reminder that even in discussions surrounding serious accusations, a touch of humor can emerge. Nonetheless, the importance of the investigation remains paramount, as the committee seeks to unravel the complexities surrounding Epstein’s extensive network.
