Les Wexner’s Attorney Whispers ‘I’ll F‑‑‑ing Kill You’ for Giving Long Answers During Deposition

Wexner’s attorney threatened him during a nearly five-hour deposition amid scrutiny from over 1,000 Epstein file mentions and trafficking allegations, the committee said.

  • On Wednesday, Leslie Wexner, former CEO of Victoria's Secret, was deposed for almost five hours at his New Albany, Ohio, residence by the House Oversight Committee, which released the full video the next day including a hot-mic moment.
  • Amid DOJ file releases, lawmakers pressed Wexner about his ties to Epstein, following reports he paid more than $190 million and gave Epstein power of attorney.
  • Wexner repeatedly said he severed ties with Jeffrey Epstein nearly two decades ago and denied wrongdoing, saying `From my point of view, he died` and `I think it was just me giving him the finger`, Wexner said.
  • Online viewers and social media platforms reacted swiftly, with Democratic members signaling skepticism during breaks after Wexner's deposition remarks.
  • Ongoing document releases and removed files have deepened the probe into Epstein's network as Wexner's name appears more than 1,000 times in Epstein files, and victim allegations by Virginia Giuffre and Maria Farmer persist.
