Leon Black sues House Oversight Committee

Leon Black has filed a lawsuit against the House Oversight Committee and its chairman, rejecting subpoenas that demanded his testimony and private agreements as invalid and overly broad. The billionaire was scheduled to appear for a deposition regarding his ties to Jeffrey Epstein but chose not to show up. Instead of testifying, he initiated legal action to stop the proceedings. Despite Black's absence, the committee moved forward with the deposition anyway. Chairman James Comer warned that refusing to attend could result in being held in contempt of Congress. Financial records indicate Leon Black paid Jeffrey Epstein over $180 million during a six-year period. Black maintains he was unaware of Epstein's crimes and denies paying for access to women. The situation has shifted from a standard inquiry into a dramatic method of avoiding questions, turning what should have been a deposition into a legal dispute over the deposition itself.
