Leon Black sues House Oversight Committee to block subpoenas in Epstein investigation
The billionaire investor filed a legal challenge against the House Oversight Committee and Chairman James Comer. He seeks to prevent the enforcement of subpoenas for his testimony and internal documents. Black's legal team argued that the committee's demand for nondisclosure agreements exceeds the panel's legislative authority. They also challenged depositions regarding his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The lawsuit follows voluntary testimony Black previously provided concerning his financial relationship with the late sex offender. House Republicans are seeking specific records and testimony as part of a broader probe into Epstein's network. Despite the legal action, Chairman Comer indicated the committee intends to proceed with scheduled hearings. Black currently declines to testify pending the court's decision.
