Leon Black sues House committee over Epstein subpoenas
–
Neutral summary
Billionaire Leon Black filed a lawsuit against the House Oversight Committee on Thursday, seeking to block subpoenas that demand his testimony and documents in the panel's investigation into ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Black, the 75-year-old former CEO of Apollo Global Management, did not appear for a scheduled deposition, calling the subpoenas “invalid” and arguing the inquiry has no legitimate connection to his dealings with Epstein. The subpoenas were issued in June after Black abruptly left a voluntary interview, reportedly declining to answer questions about nondisclosure agreements. His lawyers say the NDAs sought by the panel are unrelated to Epstein, while Democratic lawmakers have called for contempt proceedings.
