Hot-Mic Catch Shows Les Wexner’s Lawyer Threatening Him During House Deposition

The released deposition video renewed scrutiny of Wexner’s denials over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Overview

  • House Oversight Committee questioned Wexner about his Epstein ties during a nearly five-hour deposition later posted publicly.
  • In the footage, an attorney whispered, “I will fucking kill you if you answer another question with more than five words,” as Wexner chuckled.
  • Lawyers, officials, and commentators on X highlighted the moment, with posts from Robert Kelner and Anthony Sabatini among others.
  • Wexner denied wrongdoing in the session, calling Epstein “an incredible con artist,” and said he did not view Epstein as a friend.
  • Past reporting found Wexner granted Epstein sweeping authority, and newly released files mention Wexner more than 1,000 times, as Virginia Giuffre has alleged she was trafficked to him.
