'I'm going to kill you': lawyer's warning to former Victoria's Secret CEO leaks during Epstein case testimony; see VIDEO
During a congressional testimony, a lawyer for Leslie Wexner, former CEO of Victoria's Secret, was caught on microphone threatening him if he provided long-winded answers regarding his connections to Jeffrey Epstein.
Leslie Wexner, the former CEO of Victoria's Secret, recently testified before a U.S. Congressional committee about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sexual offender. During the session, a startling moment occurred when Wexner's attorney, Michael Levy, was overheard threatening him, stating, "I'm going to kill you if you answer another question with more than five words." This moment was captured on video and has drawn substantial attention due to the juxtaposition of levity in a serious context.
Wexner, now 88 years old, admitted during his testimony to visiting Epstein's private island but firmly denied any knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities. He claimed that he severed ties with Epstein nearly two decades ago, indicating that his relationship had ended before Epstein's most notorious crimes came to light. The leaked video of the lawyer's warning has sparked discussions about the pressures faced by witnesses in high-profile trials and the ethical responsibilities of legal counsel.
The incident highlights the complexities surrounding Wexner's involvement with Epstein, including the public scrutiny of their past relationship and the implications for Wexner's reputation and business legacy. As the case unfolds, it remains a focal point for media coverage and public interest, particularly in relation to the broader issues of accountability and justice concerning sexual offenders.
