Former Victoria's Secret CEO Les Wexner’s attorney was heard jokingly threatening him during his nearly five-hour House Oversight deposition on Jeffrey Epstein on Wednesday.
Peter Pinedo is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
Several hours into the deposition, while Wexner was giving a particularly long-winded answer, Wexner’s attorney leaned over to him and whispered in his ear, "I’m going to f---ing kill you if you answer another question with more than five words, okay?"
Both Wexner and his attorney laughed after this statement, indicating Wexner understood it as a joke. The lawyer proceeded to instruct Wexner to "answer the question," laughing more.
