During a recent hearing before the U.S. House Oversight Committee, Michael Levy, the attorney representing billionaire Leslie Wexner, was caught on an open microphone threatening his client. The threat came in response to Wexner's lengthy answers concerning his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender and accused trafficker of minors. Levy can be heard whispering to Wexner, "I will kill you... if you answer another question with more than five words," to which Wexner responded with laughter, indicating a seemingly casual atmosphere amidst serious allegations.

The implications of this interaction are significant given the ongoing investigations into Epstein's extensive financial network and relationships, in which Wexner has been identified as a potential partner of Epstein. The Federal Bureau of Investigation had previously referenced Wexner's name in documents related to the inquiry, suggesting his connections to Epstein may have played a role in facilitating Epstein's financial dealings and influence since the 1990s. This has raised critical questions about accountability and the dynamics of power in such high-profile relationships.

The incident has gained widespread attention on social media platforms, where users expressed their astonishment and humor regarding the lawyer's threat. Moreover, there is a growing focus on Wexner's connections to Epstein and what these relationships might reveal about the broader network of individuals involved. As the investigation continues, public scrutiny surrounding Wexner's role and the implications for associates of Epstein will likely remain a focal point in discussions about sexual exploitation and financial misconduct.
